Ganesh Bhairhawako rankido garmi ma janmeko arey 2036 Saal Jestha 15 gate. Tyai garmi ma janmeko bhe ra ho ki ke ho ekdam taato swabhav ko thyo ganes. Huna ta usko khas nam ta Sameer thyo tara kalilai umer ma hrista pustama aghosit swarna padak prapta gareko Sameer ko bhudi sanai dekhi uchhitteko thyo. So, a friend of his did renwaran Sameer to “bhude Ganesh”. Since the word *bhude* was somewhat offensive and a bit long to call, friends started to call him just Ganesh. Ganesh equally served the purpose without the offensive objective. Nobody thought ganesh as a hunk with a six pack bhudi anyway.
Ganesh bro and a bunch of his childhood friends were walking toward Butwal after watching a hindi movie in kaalika hall. Afulai purana saathi haru sangai anek thari gaf ma halla gardai churot tanera Butwal tira lagda uslai swargai pugya jasto lagyo. Butwalma pulchowk tira lagesi sar sar gardai bahado tinau ko miitho haawa ma saathiharu sangai churot sat.tai hinda swarganubhuti ko matra badhdai ke gako thyoo –tyaat---- tyaat--- tyaat garera karayo alarm ghadi. “Alachhinna khappar” he stared at the clock, which was displaying 6:01 AM.
Bipanama ta chandan ghotiya jasto ghoitiya chha chha, sapana samet pani ramrai dekhna paidana ye! He murmured. Bahira hereko hiu, ajhai pardai re chha. Suru suru ma bhairawabro lai hiu parya dhun dhan man pareni pachhi pachhi bhe si ris uthna thali sakya thyo. “Now, the traffic would be horrible”, he was sure. Anyway, got up and went to the bathroom. Showerma taato ra chiso paani sadhai jhai kholera “parkhi base aaula bhani mero oothane paalo mero…” chhireko matra ke thyo geet pura garna payena dashain ma maar hanesi khasi ko dhad ma halne jasto khwattai bhutla khuilyaune jasto gari taato pani aairako re chha. “Aath.tha---radi ko chhora lai water heater ferde bhanera aasti bhaneko ahile samma kaan ma tel halera basi rako re chha”. Garmi ma janmeko Ganesh jangiyo ghar pati mathi.
It was the third time the water heater malfunctioned this month. Ganesh ko room mate raat bhari shiva ratrima paspatima bhaktajan jagram basya jasto gas station ma jagram basera aauthyo bihan aath baje tira. “Madisele esponsar gardinchhu kagaj banauna bhanera thali haliyo –lawyer pani heri lagai di ra chha. Chhodi halna ni bhena—kasto tham ma fasiyo bhane ---“his apartment mate would regularly repeat these words whenever they talk about things. Ganesh ko room mate Nepal ko kun chai sarkari office ma second class ko officer thyo re—yata seminar ma aako farkena chha. “euta green card banauna paye chhora chhori lai ramro hunthyo” bhani ranthyo. Ganesh lai “haina Narendra dai, chhori chai tapaiki katri chha?” bhanera sodhna man nalagya ta haina suruma but then when he knew duita chhora muni ki euti chhori chha ahile paach ma padhchhe bhanya sune dekhi Ganesh lai Narendradai ka chhora chhori patti kehi interest thiyena.
Ganesh 10+2 boarding school ma sakera kanchha kaka kaha kathmandu ke aako thyo America ma college apply ganre hawale chhoyi halyo. Lanthyan lunthung garda gardai I-20 ni aayo— Passport banaunu paryo hatar hatarma. Sital niwas ma kakako chin jaan ko euta sakha adhikrit re chha---dhak dhuk garera passport pani tu banyo. dasha lagya re chha visa ni payo Ganeshle. Computer science ma degree liye chhi ek barsako practical training ma H1 banaune dau liyera euta tech company ma chhireko thyo Ganesh yastai dui mahina jasto bhayo hola.
“The boss is nice. I am sure he will do whatever he can for my H1” assuring himself he prepared a cup of coffee. At 7:00 O’ clock, he was out to his car. After cleaning and warming up the car, he was on the slushy roads. Aaja bharkhar December 12 tarikh hudai chha kahile spring aaula ? expressing his displeasure with the weather he was taking turns on the local roads. Martin Luther King blvd. was completely backed up. There must be an accident ahead, he knew. He knew he would be late to work if he stayed there on MLK blvd. so he struggled to get out of that mess and after few right and lefts he came to 495. The highway was better than local roads. The traffic report on the radio was not saying anything new so he push the button for Narayan Gopal songs.
Five minutes on the high way and Narayan Gopal was still singing Yasai gari bitai dinchhu, Ganesh hit the back up again. “Damn” he said “aba dhilo hune bho—yasari dhilo dhilo jana thalyo bhane ke yatrako H1 gardinthyo?” Ganesh tatyo—he looked at other drivers and said in loud enough voice to overshadow the song “yi sabbai rada radi haru ka jana la ni yati bela? Sappailai jati bela ma hinchhu tyati nai bela hinnu parne—ek chhin aghi pachhi hine ni hunchha ni”. He also thought “may be I should have stayed on MLK blvd. bekkar yata aako”. ---Anyway, at 8:20 he reached his office. “20 minute ta dhilo bhai halyo” he said to himself.
He paused a bit when he saw a “Happy Bithday” balloon tied up to his cubicle. What? Did they replace me already with another person? Ganesh was worried. Whose happy Birthday is today? He asked to himself but he had no answer. Afu ta Jethko dhapakka balne garmi ma janmya yo Decemberko bichma Birthday parne kurai bhe na, Ganesh thought. Aaja April 1st ni haina. As he was concerned, puzzled, and a bit nervous, he felt a hand on his shoulder. “Happy Birthday, Sameer” Richard, the boss, said extending his hand. Aba boss le hat badaye pachhi hat ta milaunai paryo ani thank you ni bhandiyo Ganesh le but he knew aaja usko Birthday ta mari jam haina. Ganesh was still thinking ke kuro garya yo khaire le? Madhdhe garmi ma janmya manchhe lai madhhe jaadama happy birth day bhanchha. Now the boss was worried. “Is this really Sameer?” or who the hell is he? Did this guy steal the identity of a dude called Sameer? “the boss was puzzled on how come the guy does not know his birthday. “Why? Is not today your birthday?” the worried Boss asked. “Yes, yes it is. We follow the lunar calendar back home and according to that calendar the birthday falls on the next Sunday.” Ganesh le yattikai bhandiyo. Boss lai balla balla samjhayo Ganeshle tara boss le ke bujhyo he did not know.
Passport renew garna lai pathako thyo ganesh le yastai tin char maina aghi ---passport ma ta usko date of birth ke hisab le ho12/12/1979 lekhera pathako kuro bichara ganesh lai atto patto chhaina. Yasai ta tin tin wata janmadin hunthe---Tithi le, gate le, ani tarikh le aba jhan passport office ko khardar le arko euta ni thap de chha December ma bichara Jethma janmya Ganeshlai.
