Big Radaaako at Cinci. Base, Ohio:............................................................ "it feels so great to serve this Nautankiland" thought npl2us on his way to Cinci base to check his cool brother Hi-nanu. he is hi dai to most of the nautankies except for those who still don't want to believe his gender; caught up by his name. and his name is the sole reason for brigadier SNDY to appoint him as a secret service agent in NL. "see how easily he can get around under this name"!! says SNDY whenever she is asked why hi dai holds this post. Anyways let's get to the story. Door bell rings at hi dai's house. i must say hi dai is one and only true Nepali. He has a big posture of Buddhha at his door and his door bells rings like "ko ho, ko ho?"- just like a Koilee in char koshey jhadi! nobody heard the door bell because i could hear the kitchen fan running and i could smell aroma of Nepali spices at the door, apparently, bhabijaan was cooking. i hit the bell again and almost said "it's me, npl2us" at "Ko ho, ko ho?" of the door bell. bhabijaan: oh ho babu! what a surprise? (white flour on her apron and a belna on her right hand was a clear indication that we were having aalu paratha for dinner. npl2us: darshn bhauju! (walking in) npl2us: oie poontee bhuntee! check uncle's pocket talking to mutu (hi dai's daughter). her brain has been conditioned by now to know there'd always be miniature candies for her. npl2us: k chha ta bhauju latest? bhabijaan: k hunu yo america ma? sarai monotonous life, boring. she sounded like missing Nepal too much. npl2us: where is hi dai? bhabijaan: he should be here shortly. "Ani bihe garney kailey ho bhanya babu?"- she asked all of a sudden. npl2us: hajur khojisyos na ta! bhabijaan: there are too many at your brigade ni! npl2us: no wayyyyyy! "malai jindagi bhari peti coat ko kassam khanu chha ki k ho? i don't know why i cannot stop saying that are better off not saying. it just slips out, out of nowhere. i knew i shouldn't have let bhabijaan know what happened at the brigade that afternoon. right after i finished what i said, bhabijaan was behind the peti coat at the brigade. unwillingly, i had to disclose everything. i told what hi dai thinks about it, what Loote said, and how dai replied back Loote. i did not have any choices but to be honest about the peti coat kanda at the brigade. i could tell bhabijaan was quite upset the way she was belling paratha: pressing belna real hard and throwing (not putting) aalu on roti. Thanks lord hi dai is not around when she is all armed with belna and other kitchen stuffs! After a couple minute she broke the silence: "no wonder you guys are s eager to go to work!!!" i could feel her anger at hi dai in her tone. hi dai was late that night to fuel her anger. "Sudda still must be talking with Loote and all about the same darn peti coat, which soon could become the hell breaker" i thought. Mutu was in bed when he came. Honk-Honk! hi dai secured his van with his remote. as usual he entered saying NEPTE DA what a surprise? he knew i was there. it's obvious when you see raggedy burgundy colored 1989 Accord that has foam coming outta seats filled with junk- it's me around. i said darshan to him. i am pretty sure i have teased him enough for him to sulk his pot belly in when he is around me. Bhabijaan: have you brought me green onion? (apparently, she had asked him for that). Peti coat, late and no green onions? that's it, buda! you are gone, i was saying it in my head. i have not prayed that hard in my life for anything. but i was praying for hi dai to say NEPTE DA i left it in the van, could you please? Pashupatinath must have been intoxicated when i was praying. hi dai: lau ja! mailey ta bhusukkai........... before he could finish his whole sentence a hot boiled aalu hit his forehead at the right hand corner. it stuck there for exactly three seconds before it fell. dai got first degree burn from that. i was so surprised to see how good she was at hitting the target. she completely skipped that long nose and hit right there at the forehead. "had it been me, there was no way i could have kept that pointed nose outta my way! SNDY should call bhabhijaan to play for her softball team where she is in desperate need of a pitcher" i thought. Anyways, before things got worst i decided to leave. i thought - buda budi ko jhagada paral lo aago. they'll be aight tomorrow. i picked a rose at their garden, and started doing should i get married? should i not? pulling out the petals. darn thing paused at- get married. i could not believe that after witnessing hi dai under first degree burn! This morning i called bhabhijaan. everything must have settled, she was as cool as she has always been except for last night. i asked where was hi dai. she said he's at work. and your dai is wearing red palpali dhaka topi to work to hide that aalu mark said while laughing. i imagined him at his first day to teach at valley campus to impress Bhadraman on his red palpali dhaka topi. No wonder hai dai posted an unusual quote this morning! All in Jest!
