The temperature in Kathmandu is mounting each day and it is a very nice excuse to go for a nice dip in the pool. Been doing that for over a  week and I already look like medium roasted coffee beans (the perks of having a very sensitive skin where the sunscreen acts zero). One should either take care of their beautiful skin or enjoy swimming….you cant have both ….I ll choose to go with the latter. A lot of new swimming pools have opened in Kathmandu in last 2 years. The Balaju Baisdhara has closed down and Dasharath Stadium pool is also not in a very good condition. But the private ones are very well maintained and managed. The one I regularly go to is the International Club at Sanepa. It’s a bit expensive (350/- per visit) but the water is clean. It was a hot day out here in Kathmandu today and since I was around the club I wanted to swim for a while. After reaching I realized there is some stupid pool party happening. The whole premises was filled with young kids (the age group between 16-22) all dressed up to impresses the opposite gender. The skirts were short and the guys pants were hanging showing half of their butts. The place was full till the main road with these youngsters sitting aimlessly all over. No I don’t go to such pool party. I have been to one, long time back and it was enough for me for a lifetime. There were nothing much than drunk woman throwing up all over the place and boys fighting over girls. Right then and there I realized I am too old and busy for all this lol. Anyway, I was returning back home the same route at around 9pm and I see a lot of young groups walking back home from the party. It started from Ganodaya School turning. Like I have already mentioned they were walking in the middle of the street as if they own the road. Couple of meters we drove, I see a mineral water bottle sliding right below our bike. Some guy threw it from his car. Impulsive, I turned my head and swore at them. I just couldn’t ignore it. My friend was laughing at me for losing my cool in such small matter. It is just a bottle dear why did you swear at him like that. I explained that litter is not accepted. He could have disposed it when he reached home. Another couple of meters we drove, I saw a back thing flying right across my head. This time it was a helmet. WOAH!!! That was terrifying. A big fight happening right outside the international club between two gangs, and the reason was someone from one gang had stepped on the foot of the other gang member while on the dance floor, and they were settling it out after the party. Fight over stepping on the foot??? One could have just said Sorry and the other could have said its OK…and the issue is resolved. But NO, that is not how the Nepali kids handle it. They have to fight, they have to prove that they are VEER GORKHALI. They have to vandalize, hurt and make nuisance. I would have been severely hurt if that flying helmet would have hit me, but I have been lucky. My bigger concern was, “Rishma afno helmet futayera, ghar chahi kasari pugne ni yeti rati….MAPASE katera bike ma??” Last edited: 31-May-14 08:34 PM
