well, let me share sth that might be interesting to most of you. i am not sure how things go at nepali gatherings in your states and cities, but over here at my place, its pretty much monotonous and predictable. 1) Corona 2) Cards 3) Politics i don't go to nepali parties often. its not that i don't like them..but i feel suffocated at times. people gather....men go for cards....women go for their feminine stuffs ( i have very little clue about it :P)....then drinking and stuffs..and finally politics... with more corona gone from freeze, more people participate in politics... more the consumption, louder the noise. last week, i went to one of those parties. there was this guy, quiet and tranquil sitting on a counch in the corner until he was done with two coronas. then he stood up and went: "nepal has no future!" "all these fu--ing politicians should be shot in tundikhel" blah blah.. someone retaliated..and then there was a verbal commotion for a while. later on i came to realize that the dude was a DV winner...hehe. then political debate took on the party for another 2 good hours.... i felt so fuc--ked up, runied my friday night completely...but then this is how we are haina--typical nepali? ki haina? how does it go in your place?
