"Forkin' Ice-O!" muttered Mareea, my Bolivian friend at the disappearing back of a guy who had just joined our table. Mareea (Bolivian), Katerina (Swedish), Karen (Carribean) and I had finally decided to go out for dinner and drinks one Saturday. It had been a while since we had met and after a sound warning from each of them, I agreed to give up my blue jeans-white Tshirt-Gap-look and wear a little black dress. So, off I went clippity clopping in high heels to meet my girl friends, all dressed in black like the witches of Harry Potter.
After a good Thai dinner of "coconut milk in everytiiing" as my Carribean friend said, we had trudged on to the nearest bar for a drink. Barely seated, a guy had lurched toward our table and with a crooked, goofy smile said hello. "Are you O gay?!!!" said a concerned Mareea in a heavy Spanish accent. The guy blinked at her and we blinked at both. "Exscooose me, are you O gay?!" repeated Mareea, looking around. We understood and burst into a peal of laughter, while the poor guy, offended, flustered and humiliated went into a stream of obscenities at poor Mareea and left. Then, it hit her, she meant to say, "Are You Okay?!" He had heard what we had heard. "Whaaa, Chitara, you haav a problen wi mai aaccen??!" she shot at me. "Not I, he did!" I laughed. After an uneventful rest of the evening, we decided to go to my apt for a glass of wine.
"Okay, let's talk about irrational fears!" said a tipsy Katerina. For some odd reason she had adopted a soft Southern drawl after landing in the US 8 years ago although I still teased her about her SVedish accent with a "My naime is Iinnnga! Yaah??!' Mareea said, "Ho K you go go firrs" to Karen. Karen took a big gulp of her wine and confessed "I'll never marry a black man or a Carribean man; Nona dose for me!" Shocked, we stared at Karen's beautiful face; her features perfect, like an artistic hand had swept over her chocolate mocha colored skin. "No! I'll marry a white man or go Gay!!! My first Carribean love left me for a Fat, Fat, Fat white woman... dey have an insatiable desire for white skin!" Ok, I said, let's drink to that!!!!
Katerina's turn, "You'll laugh!!! But my biggest fear is that on my wedding night, my old couch will start talking!!!!! I tell you, it will jinx my wedding. I'm going to give it to Good Will before I get married!'. We burst out laughing. I almost choked on my wine.

"Hokey, Chitara, yur tun!". "Well, it's silly... I never buy Lottery tickets... I"m afraid I'LL WIN!!!" I said. "WHAT????!!!!" said all three. Sheepishly, I explained "Yah, Well, I wouldn't know what to do with all that money... I'll be so worried, I'll lose sleep over it... My life will change. It's not worth it for me!!! So, to save myself all that trouble, I don't buy lottery tickets at all/haven't at all!!!". "Heee, haaaaw, haaw, ha ha ha!" went all my friends. I didn't know if it was the wine or the company. "Ok, Ok, Mareea's turn" I diverted the attention.
Mareea looked hard at me, took a sip and said, " I HATE your Cultoor, Chitara!!" "What??!!" I said in disbelief. "Ya, I fell in lowv wi an India guy. He promis, we marrie for two yerrs an den, he wen to India and got arrain(ged) marry! Forkin baastar!! and I stil caaan('t) get overr him". We fell silent, we all remembered that she had the hardest time picking up the pieces. I poured her some wine and lightly asked, "and your irrantional fear?". Mareea's face brightened, "I am afrai, I'll fall in lowve wi aaanotherr India Guy! I pray an I pray!!!" We all smiled. Mareea was a good sport, with a good heart and a captivating smile and naughty naughty wicked eyes.
That night we just lolled around, happy with easy comraderie but each one of locked in our own private reverie. My irrational fear, I mused but could not blurt out was " I have a fear of marriage!!!". After having tiptoed and tapdanced around it for so long, I still remember my last proposal... the one (and only) I made on an impulse to a dear friend "Marry me! AFTER TWO years!". I gagged, and then he gagged! Then we both had started laughing uncontrollably. Then, I tried to explain... I don't know what... that I was not ready right THEN, or that he was still Immature THEN... that he would grow up after two years or that I would!!! Then, it became a private joke between us. Honestly, But I Still don't know why I did!!!!

Hehehe! Okay, waiting for the skies to clear up in DC. I really want hop on the Metro (parking is hell) and go to the Sackler Museum, Smithsonian Institute. There is show of "The Return of the Buddha: The Qingzhou Discoveries"; most date to sixth century A.D. Want to go for a walk among the cherry blossoms anyone??

So the Wei dynasty Buddhas from Shandong are touring DC now! hmm.. Sackler dai ko Jai hos.. there's a Sackler-Smithsonian museum here in my school, which is pretty impressive too. Ah..! miss those DC days when I was broke, unemployed and going to the Smithsonian 3-4 times a week was the only form of enterrtainment I could afford. When you are there, check out the Han dynasty artifacts which are on the permanent display as you enter the Sackler. Those are pretty impressive too.

Thank god. You were joking, instead of choking. I enjoyed thoroughly. Very elegant and fun; you must be good at picking up the accent and caricature. Can you also describe how Mareea looked like?;)
>>My irrational fear, I mused but could not blurt out was " I have a fear of marriage!!!".
Very untrue irrational fear, I would say. Are we afraid of marriage or afraid of falling apart after the marriage? kura ta ustai ho;)

BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Isolated Freak, like you said....
Nothing beats going to the museum! The Qingzhou pieces were amazing; Buddha's and Bodhisattvas from that period. One new thing I learned was, what is called the "cranial bump" (on the head) to symbolize enlightenment and wisdom of the Buddha. Those before the Buddha's enlightenment did not have cranial bumps.
The Sackler Gallery also has sculptures from S. East Asia. Many of those pieces are Hindu deities and Buddhist art from the pre-Muslim era, especially from Bangladesh and Pakistan. The most breathtaking ones being those from Cambodia, from the Angkhor period.
And then ofcourse the Museum store itself.... a paradise! Darn, I should have bought a lottery ticket !!! :)

Kalanki and OU812, yes, Mareea again! Indeed, a sequel to "Last Night In DC" :). Thanks for reading it.
Marich ji, Tidal basin ta aati sundar, petals of cherry blossoms were blown along with the rain. Hajur ko cherry blossoms chahin pink ki white paryo?
Hellbound ji:
Yesssssss... I'm still "O gay" as I was before I drank the wine. Thank you for your kind compliments. Ali ali soor chadya bela ma.... I like to narrate anecdotes. As for accents of my friend, needless to say I am fascinated by people, language, words and accents. As for Mareea... she was extremely attractive; with a wicked humor and a quick temper to boot! As for my irrational fear, (you are correct!) the fear of the unknown in a marriage is what looms ahead for me.
Sapphire, Monika, GI, and Meera... Thank you for reading. Meera, I have enjoyed your pieces too. Rosie, my sweet... tyahi ta yeso tyo BHAGYAMANI ko baato kuru bhaney, I have that fear to contend with. ;)
Khimu, hehe! you could be my "bratty" little bro eaves dropping :).
Dyam ji,
Pardon my ignorance. I have not had the pleasure of watching "Sex and the City" (I don't watch TV... ) So, I am cluless as to what you are referring to! :(

Sitara,
Read the piece at my own risk, and I risked a lot in the process. But finally I loved your narratives.
I am also planning to go to Smithsonian, the institute is not something I admire because of its checkered history, but the museum I like very much. Then I also want to gallivant outside. There are Chinese artifacts at display? You mentioned blossoming cherries. I used to love them. I also remember the Beijing April also has apricots blooming.Are they also there with the artifacts?:-)
Have fun.

Alkyatraz bro/sis...
teso na bhana na mula/muli... sabai kura bata kehi na kehi sikincha k.. sitara jyu lo story bata here are the few things you can gain:
a) learn how mid-aged single women in USA live.
b) what is girls night out
c) learn some vocabularies- if you don't know some word and have engery enough to double click on that word
d) Learn what do girls talk (although sitara ji is not detail enough about everything ;) , i said that cuz most girls i know talk about thier male's performance when they do chit chat like that )
e) Learn how to write stories.
f) Learn where to pick up girls... (muesiem , bar as described by sitara jyu)
g) Observe and unnerstand that girls wearing dreass and hanging out by themselves are single and looking, but scared to get married; which is exactly what me and most brodas i know are looking for ...
Soooooo, i conclude that this story is not a wast of time but a big time learning material..
thankuuuuu

Dyam ji:
The Moral of the story is:
We come away with our own interpretation of what we would like to believe about what we read! It is called the magic of the mind and the fantasies of the mindfully mindless.
I'm glad that you learned so much from the narration. Has the sacrocranial bump gained height... Dare I, do I dare applaud in gleeful mirth at your dhipdhipey enlightenment?!!!
I am happy for you! :)
Biswo ji:
Yes, the exhibitions are very interesting in that the Northern Wei and Northern Qi were foreign powers in China. However, the Buddhist statues have a distinct Chinese influence in the garbs. And I believe the Cherry Blossom festival is this weekend. Enjoy your visit.

Nice reading Sitara!! Seems like Sajha is still thriving with the likes of aware minds like you, biswo, ashu, nepe, gokul, jira, czar, ityadi. Keep 'em coming....speaking of irrational fears, guess what? mine's the same as yours, are we the bichda huwa sisters? :) I think everyone goes through that particular phase that scares the hell out of us sometimes and I bet even men have those fears about getting married although it may not be backed by the same reasons such as the possibility of a "break-up". In my case it's just the thought of "settling down" with your loved one for the rest of your life and the innumerable responsibilities brought along by that sacred knot, ya know what I mean. I recently heard the news of my distant cousin getting married next month and I can still not fathom as to why she's getting married!! I guess one can go on and on about this topic but hey! glad to read your thoughts.
btw, did Biswo mention Apricots? oh it reminds me of school days when my friend used to bring lots of dried apricots given to her by her relatives from Jomsom. Whenever she went home, she used to get me tons of apricots which she called "chilikho". oho mukhai rasayo bhanya!

***
Yes, nothing beats going to the museum especially w hen you grew up in hearing all about art and archeaology. :-)
Yes, I have heard of the discovery but haven't been able to see those. The Chinese compare it to the BingmaYong (Terracotta Warriors). And as you said, the fact that the Wei dynasty was founded by the non-Han ethnic groups makes the discoveries even more interesting. But, when you look at the Chinese history, you have to udnerstand one thing: Whether the Wei or the Yuan or the Oing dynasties , the rulers preserved the traditional Chinese culture and adapted themselves to it. They did not try to change the culture. What more, the new rulers even included the local dieties in the imperial pantheon of deities. One such example is of Ma Zu, a local god from Guangdong area, who was included in the imperial pantheon of dieties in the Qing dynasty. The language remained unchanged, and the art - calligraphy, painting, sclupture- remained unchnaged since the early Qin dynasty or even earlier than that.
**
The Sackler Gallery also has sculptures from S. East Asia. Many of those pieces are Hindu deities and Buddhist art from the pre-Muslim era, especially from Bangladesh and Pakistan. The most breathtaking ones being those from Cambodia, from the Angkhor period.
** Yeah, Sackler also has probably the best collection of Gandhara art from Pakistan/Afghanisthan. I don't know whether its still on display or not, but there's a slightly broken statute of Buddha with long beard and hair.. its on the first floor Gandhara Art section- actually its the first statue of Gandhara art you come across as you enter the gallery. Its a masterpiece.
Yes, besides the Indonesian and arts from the Indian sub-continent and SE Asia, you should check out the Queen statue from Nepal (gold) and the statue of Seto Machindranath (wood). I wonder how it got there ..
And when you are at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in NYC, do not miss the golden sword of some Malla King.

Tyo Feng Shui book chahin yeso mail garidisincha ki bhanney asaha rakhchoo... :) I promise to jantar mantar and Feng shui your life, love, career, fate, destiny..... :))) :
aaba Sitara jyu, Feng Shui le taysto jantar mantar huney bhako bhaye ta ma ahile k k garira hunthey hunthey. But here's what it really is (la ja ta.. janeko chu bhanera dekhako..:-):
Feng means wind and shui means water. It means, living in harmony with your surroundings. The concept developed from a book which was written during the Tang dynasty. The book basically dealt with the dead, so it was called the Book of Dead. The main point of the book was, when people die, their soul can be divided into two parts, good and bad. There's nothing to faer from the good soul but the abd sould might acuse troubles. So, the dead should be buried properly and the burial ground need to be choosen with utmost care. This later developed into a more complex ritual. Somehow everything got divided into the Yin and Yang and the five elements. Fengshui isn't just placing your bed in c ertain direction, its about symmetry ( or symmetary.. sp??).. classyifying your house into units and a bit of astrology. This idea of achiveing harmony by equally dividing the Yin and Yang was responsible for the perfectly symmetrical Chinese architecture. The best example of this is the Forbidden City in Beijing.
Also in Fengshui, mountains and rivers are supposed to be the best sources of Qi (energy). So in many palaces and the homes of the high ranking officials, they used to have a symbolic mountain and river. There's one in the Forbidden City too.. If you come to China, I'll show you aroud and explain it to you :-).

Mack, Robert Frost and Dilasha, thank you for reading "at your own risk!" ;)
Mack ji, l reading disability??? I am flattered that you have taken the time to read.
Surely, Dilasha you must be my sister ... as you had said sometime ago, no brothers either in your family (like mine!). "Settling down" is correct.. "forever" is a loaded word beyond my comprehension. When, you internalize that "change is the only permanant process" according to M. Scott Peck , you begin to doubt all the institutions that are supposed to be permanant. Hoina ta? hehe!
***************************************
Isolated Freak ji:
You certainly are a rich source of knowledge there, sir. I possess a few Feng shui (the new age, contemporary meaning being: The art and science of placement in harmony with nature) books along with Zen books. I love them!!! I have used Fengshui to get rid of clutter, create silent space and positive energy. And Zen, I've used in gardening. Maybe I should post a pic if San allows me... ;). From the museum, I had bought a book called "Zen and The Art of Gardening"; a small book with few words and beautiful and simple pictures artistically taken. One of my favourites being, a wet footprint on a wooden floor/deck. The Zen moment for me this morning was collecting dandelion heads to dispose of them (a natural way of stopping spread of weeds without using pesticide)... the early morning sun on my back, a mug of adhuwa chiya and a very very curious puppy following me around!
Yes, wish I could go to China, Japan...... so many places, but most of all, I want to go to the Everst Base Camp!!!! Someday in the future...I pray.

Sitara jyu,
heheh K Grane, I was the most laziest student when I was in China for a semester in 1998. When others went to hospitals to do their research on TCM (traditional Chinese medicine), I slept in my room, reading books on feng shui.. and the program was kind enough to allow me to do my ISP (independent Study Project) on Feng Shui. Its a pretty interesting but a very very complex ritual. Its not as simple as the Malaysian woman who writes on feng Shui makes it out to be. For some, putting a plant in their bed room might benifit, for others, it will just alter the flow of Qi in their system and create "health problems".
About Zen, well, its an interesting philosphy too. Simplify everything. That's all I knwo about Zen. And this book, Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintinance remains one of the best books I ever read in my life.

I am not she-male bling-boo-boo that you guys r tryin’ to make outta it!). Me and the girls talk more gibberish than Sitara n her friends but very parallel!…. I say that makes us ‘Single n Sexy’….my friend who is in the full swing of her relationship argues that its No-No-No situation….instead that makes me ‘Single and Sad’!…I laugh out loud…

Hello Sonika NY, the hunkess of the hunk, am I right?!!! Your vocab limitations mights be aussaged (to some extent) if you click on the words. Homophobic too are you... is your feminity so threatened that you HAVE to keep the company of men to reassure yourself? Very unfortunate, indeed!

I second Sonika... very true - very true...
.. however Sonika, this is not just on sajha, this is all over the world. There is actually a term for this kind of behavior where minority group try to copy dominant group. Dyammm i wish i rememberedthat term from my phys 101 class years ago ; anyone- anyone??
This race of showing off english and try to seem sophistacation didn't just emerge over the night in sajha. This has been existing in Nepali society for decades. It actually started, as i asssume , from India where they were under the slavery for years. Some people who could speak little English or who used to wear shirt and pant in India would consider "babu" in compare to other poor people. Over the time this mentality grew drastically, and as a plague it came into Nepali society too.
So , no body thinks you're talented and smart until you show off with big-big-loaded English words. lots of Nepali ppl in here feel obliged to impress others with thier English and if you keep coming here Sonika , you'll see lots of ppl making fun of thier fellow Nepali brothers' English writing capability, which i think is the most hillarious thing in the world.It's like a blind person making fun of another blind person.
I hope that someday we Nepali ppl reconize the true essense of smartness which lies way beyound the perfection in the language of English.
.. Thi sis not just meant for anyone in particular...

In some ways I kinda agree with you but you should also keep in mind that not everybody fills that stereotype. Honestly I have seen some teeny booper losers here trying to make fun of other people but in reality they don't even have their HS diploma.Dont get me wrong but I really dont think that the ones with better English are smarter ...matter of fact whoever thinks or boasts.that way..is the biggest fool.
Anyway I found SITARA to be very interesting and I never saw it that way like you have said Dyamn...well..its all depends in our eyes and how we see it..Having said that I like to APPRECIATE if I find something good..Its so easy to be a hater..but takes alot to appreciate something..

Sitara ji,
I was hoping that you would not take it personally. Anyway, just want to let you know that , honestly i'm your big fan and i appreciate and enjoy your good posts in Sajha a lot. I sometimes, like to tease you a little bit, and sometiems there are some things that i do not agree with you. However , as a good writer you are I assume that you have the guts to handle the good criticisms. I also understand that you're a sensitive lady and you have a good grasp on not just English writing but observing and analyzing little things on life which is beautiful. However, I feel like sometimes you get little bit carried away while trying to make it sound sophisticate. Now don't take me wrong but i personally feel like your effort to make it sound sophistiate works but sometimes it works like a blanket which covers your real talents.
I'm just your fan, there is nothing in sajha that is more interstig than yours and Oys posts and I look very much forward to them.
hajur ko bhakta ,
dyamn bahadru
Casey:
don't take me wrong, i was not meaning it for sitara ji personally. I was just trying to make a little note to our Nepali biraders/sistas to put more emphsis on real talents than sophistications......after all English is just a language and like some brother said somewhere : KISS... Keep it simple Sajhalites ;)

.Sonika NY? Why not Sonika Nepal or Sonika kathmandu or Sonika Pokhara? Why big big heavy name. I feel sick reading some name like this too. Before pointing at others, look how many fingers are pointing at you. And question here is the thoughtful approach Sitara has presented her story, not the language or the vocabulary she has relied on. Everyone is admiring the style she writes with not the words she make use of. Dyamn, yeah we can stick with nepali language, we can go back to Nepal, put nepali dress. Looks good in word but these are unanswerable truths you and I cannot accomplish. Accept it dude. Sonika from NY, girls night out not necessarily means lesbians. Single and sexy of course. So stop bitching.

Dyamn ji,
Why the apparent hostility? First the flaming arrows then use of an apology to explain it all away.
Proficiency in writing is an attempt to pose as a pseudo-sophisticate or so goes your reasoning. This is echoed in several of your remarks thus far.
Perhaps you believe people use language proficiency to show off. Gorkheys ought not to aspire to be competent in English, or so goes the message.
Talent ought to be source of pride and celebration for us. Instead, sarcasm and anger is directed at it. I sometimes wonder at the apparent promotion of mediocrity and intense dislike of excellence and those that aspire to it.
I am always keen on any opportunity to learn and applaud the skills of others. It never diminishes me to be in the company of the learned and talented.

Am I blind or something is wrong with me for I find Sitara's writing very normal, big big words where are they ?????????????????? Seems, its time for me to start wearing glasses but just a week ago the doc. said I have perfect vision, he must be wrong of course !!!!!!
Let me ask Sonika_NY this, what if people like your writing and want to let you know that they like it. Do give us other alternative to let the writer know that we like their writing. Well if we show their appreciation by writing in Sajha, you call us a "herd of sheep" , lol, its funny. Herd of sheep, haha!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sonika_NY, I am patiently waiting for a piece written by you in Nepali or using SIMPLE/SMALL English words, though I have yet to know the difference between a simple word and "big big words".
As for the people who write that they wasted their time reading the thread, who on earth told you to read it in the first place???????? You do it on your own and they post nasty comments. People like you, you make me laugh.

I agree.
One can get rid of mediocrity by reading, and practing more. But provided he has respect for excellence. In our country, where mediocres rule, intolerance towards new styles, sophisticated styles are amazing. Sometimes ago, I was reading a critique of Seto Khyaakko Aakhyaan by Jagadish Shamsher Rana. The critique(himself not a professor at TU but a part time political writer) had disdain for the writer's new style. I haven't read the book yet, may be the book is really a dud, but if we try to judge a book based on the view or personal attitude of the writer, then god save us and our literature.
Remembered a scene in a movie Doctor Zhivago. An intellectual was being handcuffed and shipped to wilderness in the train. The guard angrily and pejoratively points towards him and says: "intellectual..." As we all know the communists in earlier Russia have a very deplorable record of hating the intellectuals..

dyamn:
I didn't know I was saying anything against you. I had read some postings here, and specially czar's and thought I would chip in some.
Sure, I agree with you that people can write with simple English also. However, it is important to understand that all words were 'invented'at one time in our history. Whoever did it, he probably had some motive behind inventing a new word. Some new words were unnecessary, some served us very well. Specially while expressing abstract thoughts, while representing abstract thoughts.
Please, write in whatever English you like. Just try to make sure you are expressing what you really wanted to.

I am glad I am of some use. We all learn with each other.

Go to a near by convinient store. Ask for sympathy. It comes with 12 packs. Use cash or credit card. Simple as that.

What a pleasant surprise Alkyatraz ji, so nice to see you here again (after your promise of Not coming back!)! Wasting time is compelling isn't it? :)
Mack ji:
First, I teach children with disabilities (9 out of 22 little 3, 4 and 5 year olds). I never considered such disabilites as being a handicap; so I won't offer you any sympathies only an understanding of what you may be challenged with.
Second, I don't consider myself an intellectual although I may think and write about what I think.
Qqest: How about empathy, can one buy that too? ;)

I have also worked with multiple handicapped kids for 5 years, especially with those suffering from autism. I specialized in those with higher Aggression to property(ATP), Aggression to Others(ATO) and Self-Injurious Behavior(SIB)'s. I have been spitted, thrown feces at, scratched, bruised, and all that. When I look back it's all worth it because I tried to make some difference in somebody else's life.
No.. I am not trying to buy "empathy" here. ;) because you can buy that also at the local gas station as well. Unlike sympathy, it comes in 6 packs. ;) Just kidding.
Just glad that someone also works with mentally/physically challenged kids.

And then one girl ask the other how is my hair set, is it going with the dress, then other will reply, yeah you are looking gorgeous while inside she will be cursing, you look horrible, bitch. On the contrary, if I go out with guys, there will be so much fun. So girl's night out is horrible is what I am trying to tell here from the beginning. I am sure, Miss Sitara will come with some bombasting words to defend her night out. Hamee nepali dai/bhai ra didi/bahini ko baani ho ni yek arkako khutta tannae. lol

About writing, I think it all depends upon your intention. If you want to impress your reader with your mastery of superb vocabulary, you use 'jaw breaking' vocabulary whose meaning only you can find if you are paying client in dictionary.com.
If your intention is to make most reader understand what you wrote, you write as simple as possibly avoiding garo garo words.
Mastery of vocabulary doesn't alone makes one good writer.
Bottom line writer writes at his/her own expense and choice. But fret write however you like. Haina ra?

Where are these bashers blowing up up from? If I’m not a virtuous novelist, I sit back and take pleasure in the beauty of others writing. If I don’t like the subject matter its written on, I bring it to an end and set off probing for other writings of my preference rather than bashing somebody’s buried talent. Yeah sure, If you are a superior writer too, likelihood that you might not like the axiom, the utterance used, then you can make comment /suggestion be expecting “instead it could look healthier” to the writer. That is real criticism which every writer likes to bow to. Look what few of you’re doing here, bashing our own Nepalese fellas without a pedestal. Sonika Ny is right? You must be jokey. Calling out others as lesbian . Is that sharp? True said Shakepeare “There is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so.”

Firstly, I don't think it was overblown, or pompous in any sense.
Secondly, even if she were being pompous, I don't think she deserves the disrespect displayed by people, only for verbosity. That's just plain baloney. You guys probably wouldn't even understand a word of Salman Rushdie's Satanic Verses, or tales by Edgar Allan Poe, much less Shakespeare's plays. Instead of lashing out at someone for hyperbole, do something about your own English. It's not just about ideas, it's also about how you express yourself. V.S. Naipaul could probably write a whole book about a pen's nib if he wanted do, even though his novels (talking about his fictions) seldom have any plots. Read a book, or get laid. If all is in vain, do something to remove that chip off your shoulder instead of attempting to get someone's goat. Have been guilty as charged of doing so, by the way.

Just to let you know, the Bug is still in my name and I am true to it. it is LadyBug FYI. And like 4y5h3 said, it will be probably beyond your comprehension why someone would have the "bug". Well it is for a purpose you see. And you should be comfortable letting people have whatever name they choose.
AS far as your girls night out goes...i just felt it was pompous that a paripakwa mahila (I will stick to nepali, as you have claimed superiority to the angrezi language, hereby) like you felt so much pride in wearing a "little black dress" and socializing over couple drinks.
What a woooooooooos. Like I said, I had expected something of a more grandeur nature from a mature or at least older and more experienced woman like you.

If anyone can take credit for exceptional writing you (and those others participating in political discussion) can!!!!

For those going to ANA; Have fun!!!
For guys: Those beautiful girls in a socializing in a group should not deter you from approaching them with courtesey. ;))

For once, I completely agree with what nepali angel says. :)
The funny thing is, some people here are accusing Sitara of verbal pomposity when in fact most of what she wrote is in realistic prose and one of the characters is even phonetically challenged, to put it mildly! Where are the big words that she is being accused of using with abandon? Where is the Shakespearean prose that she has supposedly flaunted?
And what if she does throw in a few big words in her other wirtings? When you see a word you dont know, the sensible thing to do is to look it up! What comes across as a big word to one might not be that big of a deal to another. As long as they're used in the right context, a wider vocabulary usually translates into better writings. Simple words may not always be adequate to convey the exact emotion or meaning that a writer is trying to convey.
Sitara is a prolific writer, and a damn good one, if I might add. She used to write a lot of poems, which, I must confess, I'm not much into, but when she writes one of her recollective pieces, I cant help but admire her mastery of the art of writing. She writes like Tim Burton makes movies - with unbridled passion!
And for those of you who are questioning the purpose of what she wrote in this thread, a good piece of writing doesnt necessarily need to have an esoteric meaning. Her purpose here was to entertain, maybe even flirt a little with her reader, and she has done so with her trademark humor.
And for the person who just had the audacity to judge her for writing that she wore a "little black dress" and "socialized", I just have one question for her - what kind of twisted world are you living in???
Before anyone accuses me of using 'bombastic' words here, I'd like to preempt that with "Just look it up, will ya? Its not gonna kill ya!!!"

Oh gawwwwwwwwwd. now i agree too with premcharo that nepaliange=sitara=JD
gee what a web of intimacy between all these creatures. must have had one night stands once in their lifetimes....now you can interpret this anyway you want sis.
anyways - Sitara jyu - googling on the word "pink" and shades of "pink" doesn't give you all the fashion sense to wear it. whew you prolly thought that you came up with quite a list. so i won't shatter your pride in that. let me tap on your back and say "bravo" ma'am.
Also what's "PASSHIONATE PINK" , is that a "damn typo" again?? how easy you can damn things these days...........what can you say, it's easy to curse out loud i guess.
JD -- i would tell you what kind of world i live in, however you would not have any use of the info .........because i have no intention to get to know you or anything. so give it up bro (assuming you are/wanna be a guy). I'd just like to tell you one thing - and I'll leave it up to your sound mind to try to understand why people have different perspectives on the same issue -- IT IS REALLY EASY TO BE CLICHE' and fall prey to the web of "commonsense" someone is trying to forcefully create. However i f you look behind the cover, you would see a facade so ugly that can disgust you. That' s it bro. My time for sajha is up this time! Any concerns you have for your fav author of all times, you can keep tightly guarded in your own heart, so you can have it diagnosed sometime, with the author herself, as you seem kinda falling for her (if you are two diff ppl ofcourse!)
Peace to you all. And belated happy new year to you too ma'am. forgot to reply earlier.

Sitara, the best thing to do is: Stop responding. The more you respond, the nastier it gets. Just follow Homer's advice and let that "poor kid" rest in peace. Soon, people will be cheering for Homer again (for more, see the excellent The Simpsons episode on jealosy: The Self-Made nuclear engineer Vs. Homer).. Supyi, suan le ba (forget it)..But before you forget it, let me tell you one thing: you are being slowly dragged into a long standing clique war in Sajha and its because that you once upon a time allied witha not- so-political-or- intellectual-clique, and you all of a sudden broke that allaince when the clique was cracked down by San Man. So, you are facing the Mafia style revenge from the remnants of that clique. And this is it. It will go on for a while, and longer if you continue to post your replies to every message here. So, my advise to you: Just forgeta bout it. I read your piece despite my own poor angrej and really enjoyed it. I found it more like Bhanja's photographs: You watch it, you enjoy it and you go on with your life.
Give me some time, I will post my response to your Ghost thread.

stri_blood,
who the hell *#^*$^ are you? another Isolated freak or Sitara romeo? dude - if i lived in a gangster world like Isolated freak has articulately explained here ......"[clique war in Sajha and its because that you once upon a time allied witha not- so-political-or- intellectual-clique, and you all of a sudden broke that allaince when the clique was cracked down by San Man] ".......for REAL, then hell be to my life........it would be like living in the slum - kind of like how i imagine you living in a hell hole full of blood (sorry your name doesn't help it).
So it is WAR huh? i didn't know the reality of it, Isolated Freak. And thanks for reminding me of your true alliance, gang relation and everything that i don't want to be in.
And who knew San the Man would be involved in promoting it. Is that why Bhunte does not come here anymore??? Why is Bhunte banned, San? Could you provide a justifiable answer for everyone?
gee --- i guess where there is nepali, there is these kind of gangsta attitude and can't get away from it. this thread is such a burning example of it, esp Iso Freak's post.
However the reason i keep coming back here, is because i see people DIFFERENT from you too here, IF and i respect them and enjoy interaction with them. if SAJHA is proclaimed as your ONE GANG entity, I would leave it RIGHT NOW.
hope San dai can provide me a good answer. Thank you.

i think , sitaraj's phormoes are working even in the cyber world. all ther supporters are her romeos who's seen her picture on her profile, and all her critiques are da ladies who seek same kind of attention from the bhalays but do not get. And there are of course some who have loads of time and don't know how to spend, and there are few fools who think the attack is on them too cuz they bombard with loaded words -so they think it's thier war too....
enough is enough, stopppppppppppppppppp it... this nepali khuatt tannay attitude is taking you guys no where but making it even worse for you all......
relax and sitara's fan- enjoy her pic, sitara's antis -post your seucy pic too so you'll get some fan.. stupidly but sadly , this is how it works...

Such a nice display of jealousy. Good for Sitara.
Let me elaborate. I think at basic level, jealousy and admiration are the same. They are only expressed in different ways- positively and negatively, if you like.
Most of the time that distinction too is meaningless. I am a fan of Sitara. While I admire her, celebrate her beauty, her beautiful writings, her passion, compassion, flirt, I also wish I could do like her.
Ramro/naramro kabita ta ma pani lekhchhu Nepali ma. But her amazing prose pieces and terrific sense of humor and flirt. I only can dream.
I wish I could do like her. I envy her.
*********
On a different note, Sitara, is that your pic in Nepal Vision ?

NO, that is not my pic in Nepal Vision!
Whoever that lady is; they did a pretty good job with the pothe, sindoor and the whole works....for the piece. I have not read the whole magazine yet...will do so this weekend.
Biswo ; Thanks for the copy, I received it yesterday. Will cherish it. :)
Ani, hajoor, wish I could write gazals like you do. Really, I am amazed at the talents that pour into your gazal thread... speechlessly, I drink in the beauty of words, thoughts and passion inherent in every piece. No competition there!

Dear Sitara,
I really like your story-writing skills. But have one question.....Do you prefer yourself to be known as Indian rather than Nepali girl among your friends? If I remember, your story reflects that. Your funny friend MARREEA is referring you as an Indian, i felt kinda strange not to see your anywhere there as a Nepali. Now, pls don't tell me not to take it literally....part of real life and background will come over there by default.
You might be simply referring to cultural similarities but I know couple of people, especially girls (so called half-educated and surrounded with Indian bf/gfs) preferring themselves to be called Indians rather than Nepalis. Just curious to know about your valuable thoughts here, NO OFFENCE !
Expecting your honest answer,
THE CREATOR

Dyamn i thought the thread would die after a while but it is still here kickin' and alive, and it's pumping my blood.... too much is too much..
Dyamn, not trying to be disrespectful towards our Nepali kabi here, but ....
"Let me elaborate. I think at basic level, jealousy and admiration are the same. They are only expressed in different ways- positively and negatively, if you like. "
what about criticism. Do you think all criticisms are jelousy too? I don't think must people who tried to correct/tell sitara that she's trying too hard to sound complicated are jelouse of her. I'm sure some of them might be more beautiful, more talented, more attractive than her.. just cuz you are a worshipper of sitara does not mean everyone should be a worshipper too..
"I am a fan of Sitara. While I admire her, celebrate her beauty, her beautiful writings, her passion, compassion, flirt, I also wish I could do like her. "
>> Yup you can do it too kabi ji, if Michael Jackson can do it , you can do it too... YOU GO NEP JI....
Sitara:

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>. jeese too lubby dubby.. too much BBC flirting in here.... piece of advice for ya sitara madame:
"In addition, DO NOT use the forum for personal messages that should have been sent through emails"
Actually it's not your fault sitara ji, it's the fault of Nepali bokas, they fall for everything.. even the girls in the post cards to bubble gum stickers..
and ya.. like that brother said up there you should have told that russian or bolivian stupid that Nepali ppl are not Indians.... should've slapped that moran actually, i would...
good night...

Dyam Bahadur,
I have seen, since some time, in several threads and postings, you are hurling spiteful remarks to posters (often with oxymoron disclaimers) especially to those who do not subscribe to your political views, making sexual gesture to women posters (with occasional fake apology) and being nasty to many.
I do not have problem with that because I have seen too many like you come and go in Sajha. However, I thought to share my view, and of many here, that a nastiness of a faceless anonymous cyber person does not count as 'Bahaduri'. It has been called 'Kaayarata' here. Have seen too many Kaayars disappear from Sajha during almost three years of my cyber stay in Sajha. Hence this preaching.
If you have guts to be nasty. Show guts to come as a real person. Do not abuse anonymity, Sir. That goes to Prem Charo and some other nasty posters as well.
Your nastiness aside, I find a point in your last posting. So this reply.
On my remark to too much jealousy displayed by some of the posters to Sitara in this thread, you asked what about criticism. I did not talk about it, because I did not see any HEALTHY criticism here. All seemed driven by jealousy and ill intention, including yours, Dyam.
On writing, I am for plain and simple writing for the things that are possible and desirable- like reports, notices and things like that. In literature too, I am for simplicity as much as possible. I am not talking about mechanical simplicity without any regard to beauty. Anyway, to make a long thing short, there are things of nature and detail- like abstract views, emotions- that require 'complicated' language to express them more accurately. Add to that human's sense of beauty. And that's what all about Sitara's writing.
Dyam, remember Ghalib's ghazal you posted in my thread. If Sitara's writings are "pomopous", then Ghalib's are super-pompous.

Nepe,
Whether you're higly mistaken or you're a big fat lier. Here's why:
Nepe: I have seen, since some time, in several threads and postings, you are hurling spiteful remarks to posters (often with oxymoron disclaimers) especially to those who do not subscribe to your political views, making sexual gesture to women posters (with occasional fake apology) and being nasty to many.
>> You think i'm oxymoron i think the same about your kabitas, that one especially which was written on sitara's beauty; "santan signa tasbir sitara ko" or something.
Ihaven't never been disrespectful to anyone, but i've never let my opinion limit to myself. However, i've never used any foul language or any comment to personally injure anyone's reputation. I've always used clean and deserving comments. If you have noticed anything like that on any of the threads , could you please post it in here?
Sexual gestures to women? now thas a big lie.. i only play with the ladies who are playful.. like Domina, and i play up to a limit where it's acceptable for both of us.
Nepe: If you have guts to be nasty. Show guts to come as a real person. Do not abuse anonymity, Sir. That goes to Prem Charo and some other nasty posters as well.
hahaha , judy vux you're silly enough to write big big kabitas for sitara ji with your real identiy doesn't mean we have to be silly and disclosing our real identity. Seriously, sajha is fun cuz of the ananimous people and the creativity that comes out of unanimousity. If you feel liek you have to disclose yoru identity then thats fine, if i chose not to then that shouldn't make me a someone for not having guts.
Also our movites are diffirent, I come here to sajha to read and post fun and amusing stuff. You come here to get reconized. I don't think either of us are wrong. never try to measure someone's guts with thier anonymity in a message forum, you never know what you are dealing with , and i dont' mean that in physical ways.
Nepe:I did not talk about it, because I did not see any HEALTHY criticism here. All seemed driven by jealousy and ill intention, including yours, Dyam.
>> you didn't see any healthy criticism , why? thats a bias thing to say now.. just cuz you don't see it doesn't mean - no one can see it too. Why can't you respect honest and clean criticism from others? There are some clean and healty criticism up there which say sitara is trying to be more pompus and more complicated than needed.. It's not that people are trying to change her-of course i can't write for all the people who have criticized on sitara's posting but i think most people wrote how they felt and she and you supporters bashed on those people liek it's a verbal war. Shame to you and so called special saja people who tried to shut people for having opinion.
Nepe:Dyam, remember Ghalib's ghazal you posted in my thread. If Sitara's writings are "pomopous", then Ghalib's are super-pompous
>> you're mistaken. I don't listen/read to Ghalib's ghazals. I've never posted anything that was created by Ghalib.
Sir, I know you and some fellows feel obligated towards supporting sitara which is fine with me, you all might have different reasons to do that. I don't say it is right or wrong. However, whenever someone tried to express thier fresh and clean opinion on sitara's story, he/she got bashed by eveyone. It's a shame. Also , sir with kabitas liek "santa signa tasbir sitara ko" , which i assume was written by you? if not ignore this part. The poem expresses obssession towards sitara's physical beauty not her writing and that kind of makes me wonder if you are getting all fired up beacuase of some other reasons.
have a good day Kabi ji,

What Nepe ji? You are not done quoting me Yet? I will suggest, stick to sitara's phys beauty description, that prolly will give you more kabita inspirations. Since you didn't see my healthy criticism as healthy, what can I say sire? Sick eye, maybe? May I suggest you have it checked?

Dyam,
I realize that I mistook you for more than one person here. I tender my sincere apology to you for that mistake and I take my words back.
I guess your bossy and scornful tone in earlier posting led me to mistaking you for other nasty posters.
That said, what I said about nasty posters still holds good. Their nastiness, scorn and indecency is their 'bahaduri' from behind the shield of anonymity.
Am I against anonymity ?
Absolutely not. I have always supported the cyber culture of anonymity in Sajha. I have on several occasions spoken of the beauty and advantage of anonymity. Since you now turn out to be an old reader of Sajha, I guess you have seen me doing that.
I am only against irresponsible nastiness and for ways to discourage that. Criticizing them to the extent affordable and ignoring them when that does not work are, I believe, ways to do so.
************
So you did not like my poem on Sitara ko Tasbir. Well, different strokes for different folks.
I wrote that poem for fun. A little bit of caricature of Bhupi's poem 'Mainbatti', a little bit of Qasida poetry (precurser of Ghazal tradition) and a little bit of celebration of a wonderful lady, Sitara. May be not to the taste of some Sajhaites, but I myself enjoyed writing it and reciting it to myself very very much.
Since you did not like it, just wanted to know about your taste. Have you listened to or liked Nat King Cole's song 'Mona Lisa' ? That was also in my inspiration.
************
Ladybug,
Although I don't read everything in Sajha these days, have had a chance to see some of your postings (this time with no mistake like with Dyam). I am sorry I am not interested to have conversation with you. Trust me it will be a waste of YOUR time.

Profiling Sajhaites in this thread...
Jealous: I wish I could.
Obnoxious: Why should I care what anyone has to say?
Jealous obnoxious: Bi***s and Bas****s, you all suck!
Attention mongers: Why isn't the spotlight shining on me?
Jealous attention mongers: I can't offer a thing, but surely I'll be heard if I create a negative commotion.
Beg to differ: Hello, I do have my own perspective!
Holier-than-thou: That's plain simple, where's the depth?
Defeated: Why does no one listen to me?
Negatively Critical: There's no substance to it.
Compulsively critical: That's lame. Wait, what was the issue?
Cynical: What good can come out of such a place?
Catalyst: You are right, and you are right too.
Sycophants: You're always the best.
Wannabe Squeezes: Whatever it takes to win that beau/belle's attention.
Disintereted: Who cares!
Constructively critical: Nice going, but how about ...?
Appreciative: It's nice to get a fresh perspective, no matter how simple.
Sage: Why this hullabaloo? Lets meditate upon the truth.
There're many more, even more so when we entend this diagnosis to the Sajha populace. Sad it is though, mostly the negative types have surfaced in this thread. Empty vessls make the greatest noise.
Appreciate something for what it is worth or maybe of worth to someone else. No one forced you to write to this thread, so if you have nothing but personal attacks, hitch a ride on the ass sitting inside your head. If you can't disagree without losing your composure, have a lolly pop for now, but grow up by the time you rear your head again. A writer, good or bad, needs encouragement and sorry but the crap that oozes outta your mind has no nourishment to the writer, to anyone.
To all the others who take things for what they are, cheers to you, for there's passion for writing that reflects in Sitara's words.
Peace!
