Inspired by a frustrated afternoon, a small part of heaven, parase ko baini m***(courtesy of deep dai), & continuous support from VANISHED :)
******************************
BAJE - JooN ta TAHA TAHA
******************************
The following content is not suitable to readers with weak hearts, thick heads, and hot bodies ;). Parental Guidance advised.Recommended during load shedding and bed time:)
******************************
Hari baje was worried. It was eight in the evening, and he couldn't find the khasi yet. He frantically went back and forth in the "dabali" trying to get the best bargain from the vendors. Time was running out. Anguish crept on him as he saw other costumers getting a good deal, and walking away with the goats to be sacrificed for "maha asthami" the next day. People began to disperse as darkness loomed the famous dabali, and darkness began to loom in Hari baje's heart.
What would he tell to his wife, sons, and now even grand children, who would be dying to hear the "Mehehehehe" from a khasi when he reached home.The trademark of the festival would not be in his house. but it wasn't his fault. He hadn't found a healthy, and a "pahadiya" khasi that suited his huge family. Lost in his own thoughts, he realized that the vendors with few small goats had completely disappeared too. His heart was pounding and aching at the same time. He was sweating in the cool evening, he resigned.
Hari baje was a very religious man. Not having a "Khasi" for mahastami meant something ominous was forthcoming. What could he do? Perhaps, he would set out early the next morning and look for the last ones around Bagbazar. He was in due for another sleepless night. The kach kach of his wife, enraged voices of his sons, whining of his daughter in laws, and the cries of his grandchildren began echoing in his head. He had known from the beginning that there was something strange bout this Dashain.
As he reached Maligaon ko Oralo, he heard sobbing of a young gal nearby. Though the alley was dark, he could make out a figure ahead of him. He approached the girl who was sobbing bitterly, and for a moment, Hari baje forgot his own mental trauma.
"Naani, ke bhayo timlai?"...The gal was covered in a veil, so Hari baje couldn't make out her face. She kept on sobbing for a while, and finally pointed to a "small but robust khasi" behind her. Hari bajey stood there stoic not knowing what to do. Finally the gal replied "Baje, maile yo khasi, aaja bechina bhaney, malai aama le ghar ma rakhdinan re" Hari bajey inspected the goat. It was robust though a bit undersized than he had expected. "bidhi ko bidambana" thought hari bajey, "yo khasi lekheko raicha ra ta mero bhagya ma" Hari bajey felt a heavy burden off his shoulder. He brushed the goat but it didn't move an inch, nor it exclaimed out its typical "MEHEHEE" "kati paisa yesko naani"?
"paanch saya rupiya, bajey".....wow bajey thought......just 500 Rs. ..He paid the gal, giving her a questioning look, but the gal kept her face hidden under the veil..and added
"tara bajey, yo hidna sakdaina, bokera lanu parcha"
Hari bajey was old, but he was not weak. Not after the incident. he gave khasi one final look. Its eyes stirred him a little. they were huge, sparkling and transfixed on baje. He hoisted the goat and put it on his shoulder, and whistled as he made his way towards kaalo pul.
He gave a few looks to the Khasi on his way, but the ghastly eyes were transfixed on bajey all the time. The khasi hadn't uttered or moaned out anything, and that kind of tickled Hari baje. He tried to forget the goat's vulture eyes. HE could hear other MEHEHES coming from houses around the street. Suddenly, he felt the khasi was becoming a lil heavier on his shoulder. He gasped for air. He decided to rest in the middle of kaalo pul, which was "all but bhatkeko" at the time. He put the khasi down, which was still looking at him with the same authority which was beginning to scare Hari Bajey. he tried to resort to something else. He looked up in the sky. It was a very clear night. Starry Starry night. He was dazzled at the site of the unending twinkling of the stars. He turned his attention back to the "khasi"
"Baje, Joon ta taha taha hai aaja" yelled out khasi distinctly. A cold chill ran down Hari bajey's spine. He started feeling dizzy. His legs felt weak, his mouth dried,, and his stomach cramped. He made a run for his life. Jus as he reached the end of the bridge, he heard a hysterical laughter. He turned around, and he could make out in the light of the stars that it was the same lil gal who had sold him the goat, except now her veil was uncovered. And to his utter disbelief, she did not have any face. Hari baje didn't look back again, and ran up the sifal ko ukalo.
Behind him, he could hear a sarcastic laughter.........ahahahha......blending with the silent gurgling of dhobi khola below......hahaha

PS# ( i am sure u didn't expect this from me, nor did i..but i really miss those ghost story times esp. during load shedding........don't you? ;)

Yo katha ta maile pani sunya ho!
Kaalo pul ko kura garda yaad aayo. Famous comedy writer Keshab Raj Pidali once wrote about an incident his uncle was involved in. It was Rana ko tyam and his uncle was walking fast to get to his residence before the 9 PM top (cannon). As he was approaching Kaalo pul he saw a woman inside a pati by that bridge. He was a young dude and was really excited to see a young woman inside that paati alone. There was no one on the street except him. Juneli raat ma her beauty was looking quite sexy to him. He approached to the lady and asked why is she there alone? He reminded her that its almost top time. She looked at him. She was the owner of an undisputed beauty. He bacame dhanya by her elegance. He thought, "well, yo maal chahi chhadna hunna aaja". So, he started to work in his project. Just then he noticed her feet were facing backwards. Next second he was running betodle towards gyaneshowr. Many bhusya kukkurs got alarmed. They started to chase that running figure. When he reached home, he realized god damned dogs had taken ek pau masu from his lofty butt.

Oys_Chill,
You're just an astounding storyteller. I am just wondering how you're endowed this skill? Bravo…you’re already awarded the title “Sajha Rookie of the year”. Hope it’s not only because of my inspiration;) …LOL… I think you're also inspired by white headless horse:p
When I read your story, I was really frightened to death….LOL. It suddenly reminded me of the MJ video “thriller”-
Darkness falls across the land
The midnite hour is close at hand
Creatures crawl in search of blood
To terrorize y'awl's neighbourhood
And whosoever shall be found
Without the soul for getting down
Must stand and face the hounds of hell
And rot inside a corpse's shell
The foulest stench is in the air
The funk of forty thousand years
And grizzy ghouls from every tomb
Are closing in to seal your doom
And though you fight to stay alive
Your body starts to shiver
For no mere mortal can resist
The evil of the thriller
Oooohhh!!! Did you get scared;) mya-aaaaaaa--- mya-aaaaa

This katha is very very and very similar to the katha about "Bahun ra Boka" that I know. Unfortunately My professor has given me a huge, huge load of work to do so can't recite it here.
Hope my prof. gets tired of giving me work and then I can write it.
oys_chill U translate very well. Keep it up. Like to read more such stories.

Oys:
Grrrowlll…hisssss…snarrrrrl …spooky !!!!
Talkin’ goat with dilated pupil sounds indeed scary hmm more then black cats and voodoo dolls:p
But, something’s bothering me….why is there the presence of only female spirits haunting men in Nepalese myth. Is the Nepalese society biased in mythological aspects too?;)) Just a clumsy thought!!!
A nice narration comfu , nearly turned to porcupine like blac did….:):)

Comfs....
Didn't read your story dude!! coz there was this big warning in your story. " weak hearts, thick heads and hot bodies" --shouldn't read or something. Got weak heart.. courtesy marlboro RED... thick head >> "... My school teacher knows better"... and hot bodies?- well if you think as i do.. coz i think pot belly is hot.... So i am not reading your story.. sorry... thanks for the warning.
By the way ... i am still waiting for the load shedding.. and it doesn't happen.. .and how can i read it in the bed time.. since bed time is meant to be asleep.

"JIGAR thaam ke" i read your story. It was Freakin' spooky yaar. I heard that story before but still it was spooky enuff for me. I read your story disregarding your warning... and my weak heart started acting up....my heart asked for one last stick of marlboro RED before it hit the "D chord". After that, my soul hit the highway to hell... im gone dude... see you at the dark side of moon on my way to hell....
"kahi nabhako jatra mu** haadi gau ma" haha
