Yes, both pictures- above- are from Handigon. A good friend of mine-a hadigaule native-sent those pictures to me.

I am posting these pictures here in honor of those who swingby here in sajha and swear by hadigaun.

Mero office

Mero Sasurali.......in Kathamandu

सिर किस्न गोबिन्द हरे मुरारे
हे नाराएन ...म किन यता आको रे...?



खै गोडा चारेक अछेर नी पढीएला, द लास अमेरीकन भर्जिनहरुनी फेला पारीएला, अनि
यसो दुई चार पैसा नी भेला पारीएला भनेर आको यता हुँदि..फिस तिर्न सधैं धौ
धौ, गोरीहरु र आफु हेर्दा पुरानो गीत सम्झिन्छु "हामि नदिका दुई किनारा
हाम्रो मिलन असम्भव छ.....तै पनि मिलनको आशमा...(यु गाट द आईडिया) " अनि बिल तिर्न सधै स्याँ स्याँ. खत्तम भो.

अब क्या टेन्सन भै रा बेलाँ हाँडीगाँउ देख्न पाईयो. धन्ने भएँ म त.

त्यो पैलो फोटो किस्नमन्दिर अगाडि हो..अनगिन्ति ह्वाक्र्याङ् भल्याछु मैला त्याँ.
बाङ्गे र मेरो १५ पैसाको लागि हानाहान भाको नि तिं हो.."के?... के?" मात्रै भनी रा
थिम बाङ्गे र म कुम जुधाएर खै कल्ले हो "हान्न के हेरिरा" भन्यो लौ त भनेर मैले
नी जोसमा बाङ्गेको बङ्गारा हल्लिने गरेर दिएँ. बाङ्गेले नि कुन दाउमा मेरो छाति
थर्किने गरी बजाएछ..एक हप्ता सम्म मन खोलेर हाँस्न पाईन. हाँस्यो कि छाति
चर्किने. के भन्नि.

आर्को फोटो पनि त्यै किस्न मन्दिर बाट भिमसेनथान तिर जाने बाटोको हो. त्यो
गोबिन्देको पसलमा तितौरा किन्या हिजो जस्तो लाग्छ.

(दिस म्यासेज ईह ज फर टङ्गाल गणेश, ईफ यु ह्यापन टु भिजिट साझा...)
लौ टङ्गाल गनेश फर द ओल टाईम्स सेक, मेरो टेक केयर गर्देउ न...हजारौं पटक
तिम्रो थानमा साईकल घुमाको बिर्सिदिनी? मौकामा चौका हान्देउ त ...ल त मेरो
लागी...

I mean to say I had some cousins.. and some great friends in Handigaon... hehe.. some REAL NICE FRENs :P.... hehe and what did greater handigaon mean again!!?

लु म त यहाँ छुटेछु , मेरो प्रिय हाँडिगाँउको दर्सेन गर्न, जात्रा को कुराले एउटा कुरा सम्झायो,
त्यो खट उल्टो पार्ने दिनको जात्रामा के आमा चाँहि विहान देखि व्रत लियर बस्ने पुजा गरेर मात्र खाने भनेर छोरो चाहि बिहान देखिनै टिलपिल रथ तान्ने भनेर प्रसाद खाको रे हाहाहाहा
कस्को कुरा हो ? तो चैं गेस गरूँ है !!!!

Kathmandu is a beautiful city indeed.
