1. Was it not Bhupi Sherchan who said yo jindagi khai ke jindagi? The new defense minister of France, Ms. Michele Alliot-Marie, insists that she be called “Madame le ministre”, not “Madame la ministre”. She says she is a woman, but the position of the minister is male. Is it French grammar or French women? When was the last time you undressed a woman? Isn’t the conventional way to just look at the back and unhook the thingy? Since when did the hook come to the front? And while you struggle for 3 minutes all she does is giggle. Talk about helpfulness. Removing stuff like that used to be an erotic experience. It’s humiliation these days. It’s in the movie “Chariots of Fire” that a man says “losing is a disease”. A Jewish student, Trinity College in Cambridge where Isaac Newton the famous celibate taught; 1924 Olympics. The Chair that Newton held once is now occupied by Stephen Hawking. The man is fully paralyzed but is married. Talk about ability. Kisun-ji said, “ma aafno yogyata ko khandan gardai kina heendu?” Anyway, that score by Vangelis in the movie is a classic, no? CDs cost less than a dollar to make but they sell for 15 bucks. Blame the Berne Convention on Artistic and Literary Works, not Chinese pirates. Look at the credits at the end of the movie. Dodi al-Fayed co-produced it in the early 80s long before his Saudi father bought Harrods. Dodi also slept with Di before dying.
2. I need to go buy a microwave oven. My kaaki was surprised when she saw it for the first time. It’s a “chulho”, but it has no “aago”, she said. How can you have a chulho without aago? But aago comes in various forms. Aago is passion. Aago is jealousy. Aago is bitterness. Aago is resolve. You either glow with it, or burn in it. Does Cilla Black still host Blind-date on English TV? She used to prod the hopefuls: “the choice is yours”. The length of skirts. Just below the knees or above the knees? What do you reckon is more attractive? Grey ones are nice if they are short. Navy is good when it’s long. You do know who Catherine Denevue is, don’t you? Ask her about sartorial tastes. Will a woman ever run 100 meters in 8 seconds? Will a fish ever ride a bicycle? That was an ad for an Irish stout that takes 2 minutes to pour. What do you think Maneka Gandhi is doing these days? Her fellow Sikh, Khuswant Singh, thinks she handled her battles well with Indira after Sanjay blew up in Delhi air. Does it matter?

3. The National Planning Commission has never had women members. Durga-ji says she wants to change that. But who gives a damn about the NPC anyway, hoina? These chaps are fussy bureaucrats spoilt by the title “Honorable Member”. Try sending them on a conference to Seoul. And issue them an airline ticket on economy class. They will immediately ask for an upgrade to Business. CK Lal is right when he quotes Pradip Giri about “inorganic” intellectuals. Am I single and bored? Yes. I was born late May. Gemini. Growing old. Why do I talk about myself? Well, what do you expect on a public forum that’s defined by halla and ganthan? A Nobel acceptance speech?
4. People think they can be cool by swearing. The effect multiplies if you wear glasses. How impolite is it to be rude to polite people? I actually don’t think swearing is cool at all. But I do it anyway. If you are learning a new language, begin with the swear words. They are phonetically cute. A friend said: don’t take life too seriously. It complicates stuff. It’s a fact, she opined. She also said she had to move on. Would she have moved on if she herself didn't take life seriously? I'm done with my meetings. I did a good job. I am happy. Arbin Sherchan, my good friend from Baglung, just returned from Paraguay. Think about that: Baglung and Paraguay. He travels, you see. His question, “why does everyone talk about changing the world but nobody talks about changing himself” is deep. I need to start packing. Phnom Penh, Kathmandu, Beijing. This is what I am thinking right now. What are you thinking? That I’m a pompous son of a bitch? Let me tell you: for an abuse that's not terribly original. Rajniti is dull and predictable. Static love life. San Pradhan has put up a matrimonial section. Ke sochdai hunu hunchha?

Late May, eh? I am early June! The double -trouble :) :)
And, I think the Madame was right. Otherwise they had to change ministre to ministress! Would that be appetizing? Nah! Women actors are actors not actress. A poet is a poet regardless of her gender..... Again, what were you saying ?

NK, happy birthday. So you mind Hahooguru's honorific accolade, "Kabayetri NK", do you? You prefer Kabi NK? Or just kabi-ji? Do let your fans - us - know how you'd like to be worshipped. Gender neutral or gender charged toppings? :)
Yo, thanks. Jindagi ek ganthan. Anek ganthan, hoina ra? Aaunus, halla garaun.

NK and Paschim,
Happy BD to you both. Well, My BD is on late June. Like my son,
I am thinking of asking what will be my next BD present? Will it
just message, or something else? Kabi-NK Bahini, would you kindly
dedicate one wonder Kabita on BD thats coming very soon.
I am seriously looking for the Kabita. Japan ma basda basda
aba K gift dinchan hola, bhannu bhanda k chahiyeko chha tyo
bhani demand garnu ramro chalan lagyo ni. tyasaile Kabi
sanga Kabita demand gareko. Ma ta Guru na paryo, dui char
sabda nai ho mero gift Hon't HFC President Paschim jyu ra
Kabi NK jyu lai, on your great BD. Though its nice to get
cake on BD, but, looking back at the age+1 year, it is
really disappointing to feel one year old. . . . . .. . .
Any Paschim and NK, I am happy that our age difference has
reduced by 1 year, yo dui char din ko matrai bhe pani hamro
kura aru milne chha.

Beautiful poetry from Paschim. I now know you are not Paschim but Daxin-Paschim. Solve the puzzle.
Yo jindagi kahi ke jindagi is not from Jadyaha Hari Bhakta Katuwal ? Anyway beautiful preface for any any poetry of my packet of cheerios, the latest phrase in the town, (NK 'Di)
Will chat more later. Just want to tell that don't ever get married (San, please remove Matromonial section !). Even one night stand (ok one week stand) of yours with Miss NPC made Sajha very lonely, what will happen when you have to commit every night of yours to somebody ! Let his old flame roast him and make him come to sajha looking for cool Paschim-Puja !!
P.S. And oh yes the puzzle. Somebody revealed you are SW = South West = Daxin-Paschim. Clever no ? By the way, that day I felt very strange. Its true that I would have died to know who you are. But not that way. I was rather hoping it will happen like like accidental encounter or some other dhum-dham ka saath. I curse that guy. Anyway I am composed now.

Yeah, 'Yo Jindagi Khai Ke Jindai' was written by Hari Bhakta Katuwal.
..bajarma kiniyeko sasto chhappal jastai kunaibela chyatta
chundan sakchha yo jindagi
kunai nariko hatma chadeko chura jastai pyatta
futna sakchha yo jindagi
yo jindagi khai ke jindagi
....
samasyako bhutle satayeko
ATOM bombko trashle satayeko
...
banduko nalma sirani rakher jiunu chha yanha...
.... (one of the poem I like very much, one of the famous poetry from 'yo jindagi khai ke jindagi' poetry collection book)
Janma dinko shuvakamana to Paschim !

Bagmati, thanks for that wonderful excerpt. Didn't Haribhakta Katuwal also write a few songs for Narayan Gopal? What were some of those great songs? I know they were terrific but can't remember off the top of my head...and if I remember, Binay said on that thread on Udaya and Manila that Katuwal is from Assam. I really liked this one:
kunai nariko hatma chadeko chura jastai pyatta
futna sakchha yo jindagi, yo jindagi khai ke jindagi
HG-ji, choro katro bhayo? Ek din bhetaunus hai. Would love to say hello to GP junior. Japani accent ma "ke chha bro" bhandela bhanne matra darr chha :)
Nepe, yes, that day was my saddest on Sajha. Wanted to stay Paschim forever. But I think I will regardless. Nepal gai sakya chhaina. Yo hapta undne karyakram bandaichha. Kabi Katuwal ko jastai euta bullet ghazal lekhnus na (of the kind...kebal tyehi ek raat ma jiundai thiyen). NK, mero, ra HG ko combined BD kosheli swarup.

Not that I believe in zodiac signs, but here was something I read about Gemini profiles. Geminis are attractive, supper-intelligent, and they lead to double life. They have great sense of humor and are great drinking buddies because they have mastered the art of conversation. Don't expect too much loyalty out of them especially if you are in a relationship. Geminis can succeed in about anything they have set their mind on and have an affinity to artistic pursuits.
Parts of this might not be true in your case (NK and Paschim). Nevertheless, I dated a Gemini once, and the profile turned out to be quite true.

Some of Hari Bhakta Katuwal's songs were sung by Narayan Gopal.
The 2 famous ones are
Malai Nasodh kahan dukcha ghaau....
and my favorite
Oodoon oodoon lagcha kina
Pwaankh kaile palayo
Man ko shanta talaau ko
pani kasle chalayo
Afailai thaha chaina
Kaslai thaha hola
Tyesail ta timi sita
sodhun sodhun lagcha hai....
Pokhiyera ghaam ko jhookaa.....

Paschimji/NKji,
happy birthday to you guys. And thanks Paschim for entertaining us with his
stream-of-conscience themes. (God, u miss a lot when you are out of sajha!)
I am not francophone, but I guess madame is partially right.I mean when we say
'mantri' , it should be a position. If she says the position is 'male' then she is wrong.
Position is not 'male', it doesn't need any other improvements. If NK becomes
minister tomorrow, she still should be called 'mantri' rather than 'mantrani'. We can
blame our culture of associating spouse with their husband for this. We want to
tell 'mantranijyu' to the wives of 'mantrijyu'. And so we want to know what to say
to the husband of 'mantri (female) ju'? Well, we can just tell him Mr Ghanashyam or
whatever his name is.
And Naresh Karkiji, I thought you were banished from this site. Hope this time
your exprience is gonna be a little better. Sajha ,afterall, is for everybody, sir.
Gotta go right now.

all these gender issues with cabinet issues reminded me a joke one of my staunt Republican Friend used to tell me during clinton presidency's pre Monica era:
What do you call a husband of a female president?
William Jefferson Clinton. :) No offense to our clinton supporters in Sajha.
I agree with Biswoji, the position ought to be gender neutral. Mantri is a manri no matter it's he/she. I don't know about Kabi though, like NK, I like the sound of it. Kabayatri sounds more poetic than Kabi itself.
funny thing, a lot of time in Nepal, at least in the area I grew up, wife's name is replaced by the name of her husband. Like wife of Kamal, often time gets the name of Kamalni after getting married. I don't know if that is true only in Lamjung or it is common in other part of Nepal. Just curious.

Its true. Thats why Today is great day. Enjoy as much

you feel proud of it. Chura futna ta sajilo chha, tara

1. Lamjungkunchha says wife of Kamal becomes a Kamalni in his village.
2. HG has introduced his debut poem, and that too with a Japani word in it.
3. Naresh Karki is back. He's soft, mellow, polite and disciplined this time. He also says he is in love.
Sajha, amazing Sajha. It will inspire you. It will disgust you. But it will never bore you. Keep tuning.
