I have been in chicago for last 2 years, and I havenot heard anything except last years TWO dashain party's.  Basically there is no unity in chicago Nepalese people. And most of them over here are the people who have low incomes, so they have to work their ass off on weekends too. Have been to the party's where thereare some good income holder and good people.

i think chicago lags all these gatherings because there are so many nepalese around here, and its quite impossible to make everyone possible to join. So there is internal community among the friends over here who organise small bthday parties to outdoor parties and its limited to the closed ones only.

This new year, I m planning to be with my frens in Navy Pier to view the Fireworks. Hope to see some of the guys over there.
