Jaanch (Exam)
Bishweshwor brought a flashlight and a book in addition to a duffel bag with him to the car. “,Bisse , what are you bringing that book and torch light for?”. Shailesh asked. “Nam ta chhanerai rakhya re chha…*Shailesh* pahad ko pani bau…mu** gaida, didn’t I tell you I have this make up mid-term for pasaikology (psychology) on this coming Monday? Bisse replied and lit up a cigarette. Gaida knew he was a mote dude and was famous with his side name GAIDA but didn’t like Bisse calling him Gaida then. He was about to protest but changed his mind and stretched his hath towards Bire for a cigarette instead. With a stretched ashe hand Gaida asked again, “are you going to read in the car?”. “ani k ta?” Bire answered and gave gaida a cigarette with a “thukka mu**” look. “thukka mu**” look nadiyos pani kina…churot magera hairanai garni gaida…In the mean time Bhate (Prabhat) brought his stuff to the car and threw them in the trunk. He also started to smoke. “ye paatakiharu, get inside the car…dhilo bhaisakyo…Neeraj shouted at gaida, bhate, and Bisse. “Neere…ke karai ra…dui sarko tanau na..”, Neere heard back.
It was Wednesday, thanks giving eve. These dudes were heading north to NY for the long weekend. Neere was the primary driver and Gaida alternate. Gaida had the license but was quite a rusty driver. Bhate had no license. He didn’t even have a learner’s permit. Bisse had the permit and was a good driver but no license. He (Bisse) said he used to drive in kathmandu. However, Gaida had convinced Neere that Bisse shouldn’t be allowed to drive because if a cop pulls over for whatever reason licenselessness of Bisse could spell more jhanjhat.
Neere was driving, Gaida was on the passanger side, and Bhate and Bisse on the back seat. From the speakers Pabitra Man Shakya was going on kati baschheu oodi lajko ghumto…
The rental car was heading north on I-59. The most popular topic among Gaida and Bisse was KT. Bhate was not much talkative. Bela bela ma sahi thapthyo..tyatti ho. Chattanooga ma coffe lagaye pachhi, they were on I-24 East. “Bisse, khaita kitab padhya?” Neere asked. “Kitab ta pachhadi chha, trunk ma. I will study later.” Bisse assured. Gaida and Bisse were really excited with the idea that they are going to 42nd street, their dream street. They would just look at each other and smile. Bhate wanted to see twin tower (tyati bela jinudai thiyo), and other tall buildings. The car was on I-40East now now.
When they caught I-81, Gaida said, “ma pani hak.chhu gaadi”. After another round of coffee and some other stuff at Bristol, Gaida took control of the steering and the thekka of four peoples’ life. Neere went to the back seat to rest. Bisse took his pasikology book and flashlight out of the trunk. Bhate sat on the passanger side. Narayan Gopal came through the speakers….Lau suna ma bhanchhu mero raaam kahanai…. Gaida didn’t like the song. He wanted some fast beat songs, so inserted a folk song cassette. “timro ghara chachari tyai tala haina ra…timlai hamle chachari chineko chhaina ra…” Yeah! Gaida, got excited. “Bistari hai gaida”, Bhate cautioned the driver. Mounting pressure on gas gaida said, “kina da ra?….bistari gayera kahile pugne 42nd street? Waha thitiharu kuri rachhan hamlai bhanera…dhilo gardina ta bhayena ni…” He smiled. Except Neere noone had seen NY before.
Neere closed his eyes to catch some sleep. Bisse turned on his flashlight to study psychology for his make up mid term exam. Neere asked without opening his eyes, “kina ni make up, Bisse?” “Nanga thiti (nude bar) herna ga thi, tyahi din mid-term re chha…chhutyo”. Bisse gave the reason. “I hate this psychology”, he added as if he likes some other psychology. Muskil le aru 10 minute bitya hola…car ma bhui chalo gayo. Nagbeli khadai car was moving on. Bhate was screaming at Gaida, “ye mu** ye…..kasto mu** re chha….” Gaida was busy turning steering wheel right and left. Neere and Bisse also tried to see what happened. They saw the car was taking an exit ramp. When the car stopped, Gaida spoke, “Pashupatinath le bachayo”. Everybody was mad at him. He explained what happended. Gaida asked for a cigarette from Bhate. Bhai bhai pani Bhate le chhaina bhanyo. Gaida ko mutu chhoyo. “Ek batta churot kinna nasakne ho ma?” Gaida said. He stayed on the far right lane to take the next exit to buy a pack of cigarette. Right before the exit, a truck came right before him. He followed the truck for a few seconds and lost his patience. In his anger (with Bhate) he overtook the truck. As he was overtaking the truck, he saw the exit right before him. He took the exit at 80 miles per hour. “Ali bistari exit parna pardaina?” Bhate asked. “Tero baule pachhadi bata bajaudaina.thyo bistarai garya bhe’? Gaida defended.
Anyway, Gaida bought the cigarette with a “ke sochya chhas?” look to Bhate. And headed back on the road. “Gaida, manpari chalaune haina hai…kaha puryaune ho Gaidale aaja….narayan narayan….”Bisse said. Gaida with a smoke was back in the business. He turned the volume on little higher to listen “hey aama babau sadhai bhanchhan lau na euta buhari le (kumar basnyat)…” Neere went to sleep again, Bisse opened up his book under flash light. Bhate was paying close attention to Gaida. After another 30 minuts, Bhate shouted, “la…la….la…kata lagya…..hya….mu** Gaida le ta barbadai garna layo, yaar..”. Sabaijana jaryak juruk. Gaida le feri exit liyechha arko highway tira. Why did you take the exit? Bisse asked? “I don’t know, I was following that damn pick up…I did not realize that pick up took the exit…”. Gaida stopped the car. “Yo Gaida bhayena, Bhate said. “Jh** pani chalaudina ma gaadi”, Gaida rankiyo. I am so sleepy, Neere said. Bisse volunteered. Gaida did not object. So, Bisse drove. He was a good driver.
Finally, they got to NY next morning. Jackson Heights tira gayera bhat sat khayera nindra ko surma yata uta baraliyi pachhi everyone got ready for the evening. An evening in 42nd street. Bisse ra Gaida ko khusile bhuima khutta thiyena. “Pwalbata heramna (peep show)”, Bisse joyfully said. “Ma paila herchhu”, Gaida said. Kalle paila herne (sangai herna pani ta milthyo) bhanera Bisse ra Gaida ko baaja baaj paryo. Gaida got really mad. Bisse irritated Gaida again by saying, “Ma herchhu pwal bata paila”. “Tero bau ko pwal ho?”, “Gaida le sodhyo.
What went on in NY for couple of days is a good plot for another story.
They all left NY for AL on Sunday evening. By the time they got to their apartment complex in Alabama the beautiful, it was around 3:00AM, Monday morning. Bisse le flashlight balera psaikology padheko khasai dekhiyena. He also had to help Neere driving back. Gaida refused to drive. “laagi ra chha”, he replied once when Neere asked.
Monday evening, Neeraj came to Bisse’s apartment. Jhyal nera basera Bisse was busy having a slice of pizza with a miller lite. After some yata uta ka kura, Neeraj asked, “so, Bisse, make up mid-term kasto bho ta?”. “Bawal bho, ni Neere”, Bisse said. “Ke bho?”, Neere asked. “Mu**, **** jasto Janch ta aghillo sombar po re chha.

reading nepali phrases in angrezi characters is never easy, especially for some simple soul like me who failed the easiest SLC exams and bought the certificate from bihar, consequntly came to hamrica just to find out that the hamricani gals arent as easy to lay down as they pretend in nepal. OeleWapper knowzz it the dayzzz of jaanch with panche baja and some bajajs are yet to come to hamrica :) !

Biswoji,
You didn't say whether the story (based on a true story, again) was/is worth reading. How you felt after/while going thru the Jaanch.
Pahila tapaiko reaction herau/padau ani I will tell you where am I these days? Maile ma pani Baton Rouge najikai chhu bhandiye bhane?
Jira, Oys_chill, thanx.
OeleWapper, ke garne? I am not so good at English. In fact, I am bad . Don't hesitate to admit. Bhako kuro bhanna ke ko laj? haina ta? I think using Nepali makes the story more realistic. Ki kaso? Sorry, I disappointed you.

Deepji,
This story is funny. I also have travelled the same way in my way to the north.
But I am kind of circumspect when I drive. I also suggest people to do same.
Driving is not really only fun, security should come first. Story ali badhi R
tira dhalkyo ki? R for violence, and restricted/suggestive words. Tara ke
bhanne, arule malaai hypocrite bhanchhan, tapaiko posting dekhepachhi
napadhi basna pani gaaro, padhe pachhi pheri yesto complain gariyo yespaali.

CK,
I can guess why you asked if I graduated from JSU in 1996. But let me tell you this, I know one the four characters in the story Bishweswor, Shailesh, Prabhat, and Neeraj pretty well. This info. should give you an idea how I knew the story. Same thing is true with "Thank you" (ghadi story). I am glad that you enjoyed the story. If you would like to communicate furthur with me, please send me an email. Let's not use sajha space. ki kaso?
Biswoji, I will be cautious not to veer towards "R" territory in the days to come, atleast when posting something here in sajha. The communication among travellers must have been much more R rated than what I wrote, though.
These past few days, I had a lot of research to do at work that extensively deal with financial data. Every time I felt exhausted I went to write something to feel fresh. That's how I wrote "Thank You", and "Jaanch". I posted them on sajha as soon as I was done writing. Didn't pay much attention in editing. Je hos, I respect this public space(sajha) and will be careful not to get out of PG area. Caution me, please, if R sneaks in.
Thank you for your comment. I guess you are not interested in seeing me around BRouge. Thikai chha. I respect that as well. ;)

From Aas pas to Churos, Barbad, Karamat Se Karamat, Boston/Bus-stand, Marda Ko Chhora, Thank You and Jaanch, Deepji has emerged in Sajha as an amazing storyteller. His stories are so us, so Nepali and so swaadila. I can not imagine Sajha without Deep. Deep is one of the best things that has happened in Sajha in recent times.
I would probably not suggest him to compromise with the realism. As long as the swear words are written in symbols, I will prefer to hear his real life characters speaking real life language. Re. Rating too, so far, I am comfortable to read and let my family read his stories. Keep the fun go on, Deepji.

Deep,
Have been enjoying your stories. Among all the stories, Thank You was my least favourite. Maybe it hit home for men than women - My guess. My first reaction was, "What a fool!" when I read that story. Gender gap???
How about publishing a katha sangraha through Sajha? I am sure you will have plenty of buyers. :)

Nepe/Deep!
Enjoying almost all of his stories, I think I missed BOSTON/Bus stand. Is there anyway I can take a look at that?

Nepe ji,
*Deep is one of the best things that has happened in Sajha in recent times.*
Ammmaamama,....lau bhayena....Nepe ji yastari chahi bhandina bhayena....saas pani chhito chhito chalna thalyo.....
I have no doubt, ma tapiko tapai mero bhanda gahirai samma ko pathak hun. Kakani ko jungle ma hanga ma basera chara ka bol sundai khayeka kaafal jastai swadila meethas purna prerak sabda.ka laagi mahasagar ka baluwa barabar dhanyabad -tapai lai.
***********
NK,
*Thank You was my least favourite. *
"Thank-you" tyasto man parena chha. dukha lagyo not because you didn't like what I wrote but I couldn't write what you could enjoy.
*Maybe it hit home for men than women - My guess..*
May be.
Being a dedicated reader of your work, and a devoted fan it givs me Ranjana- hall- bahira-ko-soda on-Jeth pleasure just to know that you stopped by to let your poetic eyes roll thru my weak thread(s). As always, Abhari chhu.
***********
Biswoji,
*Ani BRouge past hunebelaa yaso bhanne ta? Aba Houston tira aaunu paryo Deepji.
Tapaaiko kathaa sunna ta AL tira nai jaana pani sakinchha.*
Biswoji, don't be surprised if deep knocks on the door of your residence, an academy in itself, requesting an audience with dhuwandar (I don't mean churote, let it be clear) Biswo. " Biswoji hunuhunchha? ma Deep" bhanya sunne bit.tikai jaskela tira bata naniskinu hola. ki chinya chhaina bhanera afaile dhoka kholera "Biswo Chhaina, vacation ma ga chha" bhandeni ho ? Vacation bhanda yaad aayo. There was this Bangladeshi guy I used to work with. He once dukha manau garthyo ma sanga. Every time he says VACATION (Vyakesan) Amrikan people hear PAKISTAN.
*************
Junkie,
so, when the grade came out...the grade could be classified as "sentiflat", ki kaso?
********
Jira,
I rarely save what I write ( posted here in sajha) . Bad habit, I guess. When I am exhausted at work I sometimes write something and post here in sajha as soon as I am done writing. I don't have that Boston piece with me. May be you can search for that here in sajha. Katai "khaniyo pahad bhetiyo muso" bhanya jasto nahos. Afulai lampokhari tira aawat jaawat gari ra nu parchha. I can't afford to have Jira disappointed.
********
Thak you all (with swosti baachan, samapti mai bhaye pani).
