You believe me?
I am using this body language in real while reading this blog. Glad My big brother doesn’t understand these signs. As the sign of a girl or even talk about a girl is strictly prohibited in our room. Or else, Violence would’ve turn out in my little peaceful house.
You guys got a fine way to count numbers (1-10) with fingers.
But in terms of mathematics, we are 2 numbers further. Actually, While counting numbers with fingers in Nepal we go up to 12 in one hand. As each finger is divided into three sections and we have a natural pointer to indicate each one by a thumb. That gives us an easy way to count to twelve on one hand. And if we wanna count higher we can use the digit in other hands to keep track of each time we got twelve Upto five groups of twelve Or 60.
(P.S: After visiting shops, To Confirm calculation of given price we settle our purchased products on the ground, and by using our very own next-generation of calculatory fingers. We recalculate and double-check total cost and importantly satisfy ourself)

Counting till 12 by one hand sounds very interesting, even till 60 with both hands! I should use the Nepalese way to count so I can gets larger number by hands. (I am very very very terrible at mathematics haha)
