a little note for ya'll............
Is There Life Beyond Blondes, Dawgs and American eagle?
If one would say, walking through American campuses is basically flipping through pages of fashion magazines. , then it would not be much exaggeration. Many of us who are newcomers to such fashion trends might find these styles entertaining in the very beginning. Tanned bodies wandering to classes with an overwhelming outfit of short skirt and tiny tank tops, or those with khaki shorts and flip-flops. Who would not love those slender tanned figure and those males in khaki shorts? I did too. I was one of those outlier who was still in my Nepali cotton pant and long sleeve shirt with a leather shoes on a hot summer day. I often used to spend my leisure time watching tanned and toned bodies talking on their cell phones, or strolling around campus hoping to change myself according to their fashions and styles.
Was I hoping to change my identity when I first received my visa or even when I first landed in the American soil at Losangles some few years ago? Definitely Not&. There was excitement, new aspirations to be able to study in one of the colleges of The United States. I was proud of myself. Did those aspirations to study vanish away with those HOT styles and with bottles of BUDWEISER ? I did change indeed after hanging out with my so-called BUDDIES or DAWGS in one of those popular college bars and clubs in town. Bullwinkles, sloppy Joes , Chubbys, the Irish pub-You name it.
I have probably been there at least once. I got busy planting fake seeds of love among tanned blondes instead of concentrating on my studies, which was the sole purpose of my coming to United States. American Eagle, Abercrombie and Fitch sure helped me in changing my identity, but would it make my life any better? Would it help me in achieving my sole purpose of coming to United States? If any of you are still wondering how to change yourself to cope up with the new environment, consider Abercrombie-a safe bet. But, I would recommend your original style in attempts to change the environment just a little bit.
have a great dashain...all of ya......HAVE FUN>>>AMRICA KO AAKASH MA CHANGA UDEKO HERNU PAUN >>>>>>DURGA MATA LE RAKSHE GARUN HAMI SABAI NEPALI KO>>>JAYA BYHAGWATI!!!!

For the most, I assumed you are a female with a "Patali" handle but, the above quoted part confused the heck out of me!!!
Nevertheless, a very entertaining writing. Nice nice!
And a Happy Dashain to You too!

You basically outlined what International students go through, and their constant attempt to fit in. College students are basically speaking, always short of money, because of which, they hardly have much time to cover themselves in make-up. This is the case for those that were born, raised, or at least been in the US for quite a long time. Clubbing is just a part of society. Ergo, people here don't think like you, because they've already fit in. So, what I am saying is, Nepali gals, who dress up all 'hip' and 'trendy' to conform to America's trend of the time do so, to put it bluntly, rather awkwardly, and so they end up looking plain weird. So I suggest peeps to not try too hard to stay on with the trend, and be what you are. It looks better that way anyways.

Good one Patali.
To Sitara ji. May be Patali is talking about tanned blonde guys not girls. Patali has rights to hit on tanned blonde guys as well.

Reminds me... it took me till junior year before I started buying clothes in the US. Till then was walking around in New Road tailor made (but not well fitting) pants and Kathmandu t-shirts and flannel shirts...
but over time... have started buying more and more in the US... so when I'm back in Nepal now, random strangers ask me if I've lived abroad for a long time... that I look like "bidesh ko hawa lagya jasto".... may be it's because I walk faster than the usual person in Assantole... or may be it is because people are very aware that the brands of my clothes, sneakers, backpack etc. cannot be found in Kathmandu???
...don't know, just rambling...
