Dharane slangs:
Chari: used for girls. similar to chwaak.
Ruppi: I can't recall what exactly we used this one for. (been a long time)
Bhanu and Khoyabirkhe: Never used or heard.
One dharane slang that was used quite frequently was 'gyaas', pronounced as 'gas' (with dharane accent :)). It meant girlfriend. Now, looking back, it makes me laugh thinking how could one come up with such a slang which doesn't relate even remotely with girlfriend.
Another slang: HK (short for half-kando). It was used mostly while watching movies if one has to share a seat. One seat shared by two. You all can figure it out why its HK, can't you?
Sangey,
All the shops at Bhanu Chowk have been demolished. Gone are the days for shipping cold 'STAR" beer with some bhuteko faksa ko masu from chapri at one of those COLD DRINKS shop while people watching. A clock tower is under construction at that place, financed by Dharanes living in HongKong.

Sangam ,
Are you the one who went to TC, 2039 BS batch in Phisycal group, with those chicks named as Bhavana, and such, I forgot their names , there were only five of them. If that is not you, forgive me. But I am talking about the one who did come from Dharan and has a brother named Sagar.
I have not been back to Nepal since i came to US. it is indeed very exciting to see all the pictures of Dharan. I remember going to Dharan since my childhood as my parents come from Biratnagar and have several relatives in Dharan. Chatara ko Baraha mandir, ma mela lageko thiyo, makar sankrantiko, maghako 1st. it was quite an experience.
People used tell me, " uh! tyai sano ghoreto bata Dingla,Bhojpur, Tumlingtar ,Sankuwasabha hidenra januparcha" and used point at the hill across the little river that ran right in to Koshi. I always dreamt of walking along that " ghoreto" but never got the chance. it must have been quite a walk, i used to imagine. Some Dahal I know came from khotang and once, I remember, he told me that he used come to dharan ,in those days, to carry ' Salt' for their household. Dharan was the closest big town, prosperous in every aspect, that those people walked to get their salt. That used to amaze me. Ii had another aquaintance who came from myanglung, terathum. who also frequently came to dharan to hoist salt to their village. They spent days doing so.
My favorite memory of the Dharan area was when the landslide took the road built by the British to join dharan to Dhankuta and to hile and basantapur. I believe it must have been 2042 BS when the Malekhu khola Bridge was swept by the over flowing river. That time my friend ' Tshering' and I were going to his home Hile and there was no bus as the road was severly damaged by the Tamore river. So we got to Dharan and then we had to walk the 'Purano bato' ,as they called, which they used to go to Dhankuta.
It was a trecherous journey as the bus did not run from Dharan , but only from the 'Mulghat' which is the Bridge on the ' Tamore'. So we started early at 7:00 am, climbed the moutain all the way to 'Sangure lekh', i think that is the name but if I am wrong please correct me, and that was the peak of that mountain, took us about 7 hours, and then descended to Mulghat. it was dark by then. The last bus left at 6: 00 pm and it was well after that time . So we had to spend the night in a truck , which was parked there, and asked the driver to let us sleep . He did .
Now for the food there was nothing but a lttle shop ran by an indian. We did not have a lot of money as we had spent all of that in Nepalgunj and Naranyanghat,as that was where we had gone to prior to going to Hile,and which is another story worth telling some other time.
At the indian's store by the bridge we purchased some 'Chiura' and 'Dalmonth', shared equally,and started eating, phanko marna thaliyo. The indian' shop as well as the whole Mulghat did not have eletricity.
I guess He was hungrier than i was, so he finished his share before me and lit a cigarette.
In the dim light of the lighter he saw some thing moving on his hand and felt it . It was Kamila, little ants. First we did not pay attention as we were sitting on the ground,Palentti marera. Then we started discovering more and more and more of them . Now they were runing all over my hand also I was still eating. So Thsering goes" Ye ! Bhate . yo katai chiura ma ta chaina" he lit his lighter and we could see all the ants were coming right out of the Gorkhapatra wrapping paper containing my dinner. i immediately threw my share on the river from the bridge. That was the done deal. We drank some water and smoked few 'Yak" cigarettes and headed to the truck and went to sleep. In the middle of the night, this friend of my gets up jaryak-juruk and starts cursing machi*** and was throwing his jacket all over. I inquired what had happen. he goes ' Yo machi** kamila le sapanama pani chadne bhayena ba, Machik** madhise le bechya chiura pani thagna lai kamilai, kamila haldo rahecha'.
This is his account of the dream he dreamt that night,
" I saw a dream. In my dream I found myself surrounded by big 'Rote kamila' and they well all over his body and they were biting him. So he was moving here and there to avoid these kamilas and the King of the Rote kamila showed up. The king Rote kamila said " taile mero sara jahan lai khais, aba ma talai khanchu' and the king Rote kamila opened his mouth. I got so scared i woke up."
I could not stop laughing ,yet felt sorry for this fellow ,and he joined me with his Runche hanso. He could not fall asleep after that. next day we took a bus in the morning and went to Hile. By the way, the sceneries is better if you ride on the roof of the bus.
I am still a good friend of him and everytime when we talk about this, his face changes colors because of embarassment.

Dhyangre,
No, I am not the guy you are inquiring about. However, I think I know who you are talking about and his name is not sangam.
Rai,
Thanks for the update.

This picture just shows the Out patient Department and the Emergency section not the whole hospital . And it is built not at the old Ghopa camp but at the Green belt just outside the old Camp. The Old Camp is now the Residential area , Quaters for the staffs of BPKIHS.

the word "gyaas", if used in that context, actually comes from jhapa not dharan. nothing against dharan.
