MPji,
It is a beautiful narration.
However, sometimes I wonder if the old men were as courageous as they claim to be. And gene transfer theorem works [perhaps] if you still live in the same place, in the same environment, and sorrounded by the same subjects, in my opinion.

MP jyu,
I've always admired your writings.
But this one, it's not worth special "sajha corner" hai. Don't mind, afno ta mukh agaadi nai bhanne baani cha, but what happened to your sense of humor? It seemed like you lost your trademark sense-of-humor in this article.
Lookin' forward for the better onez.
Prem Pujari

"sometimes I wonder if the old men were as courageous as they claim to be." I think they were. If you go to a very remote villages in Nepal, in some of those places, this practice still goes on. It is like a "date" for them, that is how many of them chose their life partner. Group of guys go to the gurl's home around evening. Gurls who are friends, they decide whose home, they are going to be singing that night. So depending upon their decision, they will get together in that gurl's home. So, when guys arrive, they hit on each other through songs. However They might be working at the same time,for example, making thread out of cotton or sheeps wooL.
Some nights, they sing through the whole night before getting ready to go fetch some woods or grass early in the morning. I think, it is interesting. With the development of new technologies, our source of fun and enjoyment has shifted towards movies, video games, computer, clubs, bars etc...but I feel these folks had more fun than I am having! All pure fun!...nothing intoxicated!

MPJi good narration.
Gene theory works, but, as Biswoji put it, the environment can suitably change/supress the effect.
BTW: Is this MP is same as our good old(?) M.P.? Signature does say that, and writing kind of verifies it, but you never know the way alias's are mushroomed in Sajha lately, hard to keep track of Old Coke or New Coke, New Coke is really the Old Coke and blah blah blah....

--- as NK put it succinctly (to Ashu, I think), it will happen when you are least expecting it. So don't try too hard. You have to appear relaxed. And you have to actually APPROACH people and make small talk without having LARGE expectations. Become a friend first. They say.

Paramendra,
I am very surprised to read your reference to NK's making such a suggestion to me. I am surprised because it never happened.
But, hey, as the Beatles sang, "Let it be". :-)

[Before I post responses, let me make a public announcement: Since most people now know the age of M.P., he has decided to address every senior of his as dai/didi. Having grown up in a culture addressing someone just one year older as dai/didi, I found it unpleasant addressing people way senior to me as "ji". If having an extra dai/didi besides one name makes anyone feel bad, please let me know. For those with alias, I will stick with "ji". Meanwhile, you can call me M.P.]
Thank you everyone--Biswo dai, Oys_chill, Girl_Interrupted, connect, Prem Pujari, Logical Sense (now, this is sounds awkward. I might soon add a dai/didi behind this id too:)], Ashu dai, and Paramendra dai--for taking time to read my post and for the input. And sorry for my late response. I have been taking Biswo dai's advice--"Don't take Sajha seriously."
Prempujari, M.P. le mind garna jaane ko chhaina [kasaile risuthaaune kuraa garyo bhane, tesai anushar ko reply chhai dinchha tara :)] as in "KP [Krishna Prasad Bhattarai] le jitna jaaneko chhaina." Chitta nabujheko kuraa dhak kholera bhannus. Ma sunchhu. One who can not take positive critisms will always think s/he is right. Testo maanchhe public forum mai naaayeko besh. Haina ta?
To quote my email to San dai, I wrote--"I leave it upto you to decide whether this piece deserves the column." Ma aafailaai ali naraamro laagi raathyo. From another prospective, I thought it was my DUTY to send the article. Kina bhane the general notion is that most young people are "immature". Huna pani all sophomores in colleges dont have to, and don't, talk about bands, music, movies, and kuirinis, Ki kaso? :) I do not know if the way I am is the way to be, but I think people of my age should start taking a few OTHER things--say, national affairs, social issues--seriously. May be they are, but I do not see them much. I could be wrong, though.
Paramendra dai,
Not so desperate yet. I "dont take [girls] so seriously" [Biswo, 2003]. In fact, although I could not be more explicit, I was trying to depict a social reality in my article-- "hajurbaale-ghiu-khaayekaa-thiye-mero-haat-sugh" spirit. There are so many times when we boast solely on the basis of what our ancestors did or on the basis of how many of our close relatives are thulaa badaa. And I don't like that. I am proud to be a son of my hardworking parents but not so proud to be a naati of a grandfather who had 3 wives!

Hi M.P.,
What should I do, if I want to write a column ? My knowledge regarding whom to contact and what all do is naive...please enlighten me. I left a post for san dai. Apparently it seems, he is preety busy. Hope, u won't ignore me like he did.
Thanks,
G_I.
