This thread for is everyday incidents--humorous or not; just like Hijo Aajakaa Kuraa in Nepal Television. (Partial) :) credits to all the haasya-kalaakaars of Sajha who have inspired me. The idea of posting incidents that have taken place in my life is not to publicize my world but to "appropriate" (if I may use a communist-monopolized word) some *haanso uthne kuraa* from other Sajhabasis: --- 1) I was chatting with this young girl from Nepal the other day. I leave her anonymous. Here is a part of the conversation. “Eutaa question sodu?” she asked. “Sure,” I said. “Tapaiko gf chha?” “Chhaina”. I was honest. “Tim laai eutaa question sodu?” “Sodnush”, she said. “Timro bf chha?” “Pass. Next question please!” What an unexpected answer! I was pissed off. When will women learn to be honest :)? Next day, she posed me the same question. “Tapaile hijo bhanyaa biswas laagena. Tapaiko gf sachchai chhaina?” This time I had a well-prepared answer. “Kasto napatyaa bhanyaa? Mareko10 barsa bhaisakyo,” I said. It took her a while to figure out that I was referring to my GrandFather, not GirlFriend. ----- 2) Is there a limit as to how many birthdays one can celebrate? I was born on the 22nd of Kartik. If I use Rajan Nepal’s date converter (available at http://www.rajan.com/calendar ) it gives October 8 as the English date. My passport has June 26 as my birth date. Everything else has April 26. Even drunkards don’t have so many birthdays! I really get struck when it comes to replying to birthday greetings from my friends. One of them sent an e-card with a cake. Although one with a beer (instead of a cake) would have been so much better, I accepted it. I had to pretend I was celebrating my birthday and I sent her a thank you letter. I sincerely hope all of my friends read this. Let me let the cat out: I have never celebrated my birthday except once and that was on November 2000. Well, that was the closest I could get to my real birthday! ----- 3) Talking about birthdays, I remember a night during my senior year. My school seems to be under communist dictatorship. No cigarettes, no khaini, no chyaang, nothing! The course was freaking hard. So we always needed excuses to get drunk and forget those reactions in Chemistry, at least for some time. Although most of the toppers in Chemistry were non-egg-eating, non-drinking, non-smoking, 100%-rule-abiding vegetarians, some people did talk about chemistry when drunk: “Malai ta laagyo yaar. Alchohol oxidize bhayera Ketone bane jasto chha.” Another guy would say, “mero ta bharkhar aldehyde hudaichha.” What bullshit? I hated when people talked about chemistry even when drunk. I am glad I didn’t quarrel with my friends then. Had a single teacher caught us drinking and quarrelling, we would have been ‘oxidized’ from the school all at the same time! Continued... |

Continued... 4) A friend of mine has been working on a website for over hundred years now. Or, at least I think he has been working that long. Once when he was working on his life-long project—the website—I asked him if he was actually planning to pierce a huge hole from the north pole to the south pole so that there would be a tunnel between the two poles. He was pissed off. My college has the heating system but somehow I have this feeling that it does not work. My room is always cold. When I was about to go to bed one night, my friend, as always, was working on his website. “Man, this room is so cold”, I said as I got under my quilt. My friend immediately shut down his computer and went to bed. Next day he said to me, “Common Torpe, you have excess of sarcasm.” He thought that by saying it was cold, I was implying that we were still at the North Pole, further implying that his web-building project had not led us anywhere yet. ‘Understanding between the lines’…hmm. To be honest, I was not trying to imply anything. My room is cold. ----- 5) I no longer have msn messenger in my computer; I uninstalled it (thank God, I am sticking to at least one of my new year resolutions). Guess what, I go to Nepalnews these days. A friend of mine had suggested that the best way to get the most out of Nepalnews chat was to enter the chat room with a name of a girl. I choose “Usha”. No offense to anyone with this name [on a side note, I have a special relationship with this name. “Usha” was leading character in a story—that I wrote three years ago—that was broadcasted/read in a program called Swarsangam—Navaraj Lamshal was the moderator, I don’t know if the program still runs—of Radio Nepal. Check out the program at 9:45pm NST]. The first question most chatters asked was my “asl”. I usually said I was 17-year-old girl living in New Road. I got so many responses and inquiries that my computer finally froze and I had to restart it. Last time I went with my real name, it was really hard to find a person to chat with. Nobody would respond after I gave them my ‘asl’—21, male, Germany. I have made two important inferences that I would like to share with you: 1) There is either a shortage of girls in Kathmandu, or 2) if there isn’t any shortage of girls, the guys have dominated the cyber world. Hey guys, leave all the computers in the cyber cafes of New Road and Thamel to the girls, will ya? I want to come to Nepalnews chat with my real identity! ---- Torpe, Jan 20, 2003. |

Just remembered my first day at office in Nepal. Just out of school (I mean univ1) and got a very good offer. First day at work and I was very excited. My computer was facing the wall and I could not see any one coming from behind. Heard some footstep and some where from the corner of my eye saw blue shirt. Hurriedly stood up and said good morning thinking he’s my boss, cuz I had seen him with blue shirt that morning. Turns out to be Ram dai (peon) with paper in his hand for me to sign. Worst part is everyone saw this. Well its not bad to say good morning to peon too..but may be namaste would have been better…. |

Saajan: There are five people from Radio Nepal who I admire, and will always admire--Navaraj Lamsal, Komal Oli (I heard she reads news in 5 different languages these days; I am not sure), Yagya Nidhi (the great Saahitya Sansaar guy), Purushottam Dahal (the ex-ghatnaa ra bichaar guy), and Harisharan Lamichhane (his brother runs--well ran until a few months ago; could be still running--a program in Nepal Television called "Yehaa ko Chalan). These people are gifted with amazing vocal! Don't you think so? PremPujari: I caught you! :) Uddanda, utpatyaang, urathyaaulo moraa!!! [check my knowledge of "anukaraatmak sabda" :)].
