Why you trying to find out the diffencences?  This a nons3nse question asked by a person whose brain is stocked as ANON said. I am pretty sure , you must be from Big City specially from Kathmandu, Must be from a rich family or who  become rich fortnight .   नव धनाड्य र टुप्पिएको स्वभाब, बिबेक बिहिन , सालीनता बिहिन को चरित्र तिम्रो लेखाइ ले जनाए जस्तो लाग्यो ।

@Badboy- Murkha balak timi lai gyan ko jaruri cha.

allegro · Nov 5, 2011 10:04 AM

does it bother you because you are a pakhey? Kathmandu used to be such a beautiful place full of great people before pakheys started coming to Kathmandu because of maoists. now it feels like some messed up Indian town.

Bad Boy · Nov 5, 2011 10:05 AM

don't get me wrong. pakhey is not a derogatory term. pakhey means those who came from the pakhas.

Bad Boy · Nov 5, 2011 10:15 AM

Bro, friday night ko hang over le chodya chaina jasto cha ni. Get a life dude. Did somebody moleste you last night or what?

bad boy ले जस्तो जान्यो त्यस्तै लेख्यो, उ सँग किन रिसाउनु। एकदिन उसको बुद्धिमा लागेको बिर्को अवश्य खुल्ने छ, त्यही आशा गरौं।

MOFO bad boy posts are always unnecessary controversial. AFAIK, it was neali beer last time, this time its pakhe. Although its controversial, it got no content to support with. I wish bad boy would grow as his # of posts.

पाखे- वि. (पाखो + ए) १. पाखामा हुने । २. पाखामा बस्ने । ३. असभ्य: ग्वाँजे । ४. पाखावाल (घर) नेपाली ब्रिहत शब्दकोश अलि अगाडि एउटा लेख पढेको थिए 'उखेल्न पर्ने उखानहरु' । मलाई अचम्म लाग्छ किन हामी नेपालीहरु हाम्रो सभ्यताको राम्रो पक्षलाई चाँही चटक्क बिर्सन्छन् तर नराम्रो कुरालाई भने सधैं बोकेर बस्छन् । अहिलेको आवश्यकता भनेको हामी त्यस्ता जात, भाषा, धर्म, लिङ र स्थान बिशेषको आधारमा एकले अर्कालाई होच्याउने शब्दहरुलाई उखलेर फाल्नु हो । तर अहिलेका bad boy मार्काका नेपालीहरु बडो गर्वकासाथ अरुलाई पाखे भनेर गाली गर्छन्, अझ मैले यो बानी बिशेष गरेर आफूलाई पढेलेखेको भनाउने र देखाउने कदाचित् सुन्दर महिलाहरुमा बढी देखेको छु । एउटा अर्थमा पाखा भनेको भिरालो बारी वा जमिन हो, यदि त्यस्तो भिरालो जमिनमा बसेकोलाई पाखे भनिएको हो भने सम्म परेको जमिन शहर बाहिर पनि हुन्छन्, तानसेन शहर पाखामै छ । अनि तराइको सबै सम्म भूभागमा शहर छैन । त्यहाँ पाखा छैन तर गाउँ त छ नि । त्यसैले शाब्दिक अर्थम शहरमा बस्ने शहरीया अनि गाउँमा बस्ने पाखे भन्ने आम बुझाइ गलत छ । यदि पाखामा बस्ने पाखे हुन् भने तानसेन शहरका सब बासिन्दा पाखे हुन् । त्यसै पनि पाखे शब्दको विपरितार्थक शब्द शहरीया होइन, पाखेको बिपरितार्थक त सम्मे अथवा यस्तै अरु केही हुनुपर्ला । दोस्रो अर्थमा असभ्य । सभ्य मान्छे शहरमा पनि हुन्छन् गाउँमा पनि हुन्छन् । जन्मेको ठाउँले मान्छे कति सभ्य अथवा असभ्य हुने भन्ने कुरामा केही फरक त पार्ला तर मुख्य असर पार्ने तत्व भनेको तिनको पारिवारिक पृष्ठभूमि हो । अझ तथ्याकहरुलाई केलाउने हो भने गाउँमा भन्दा शहरमा बढी कुलतमा फसेका मान्छेहरु हुन्छन्, असभ्य मान्छेहरु हुन्छन् । त्यसो भए गाउँका भन्दा शहरका मान्छे बढी पाखे । मेरो अर्थमा पाखे भनेको त्यो हो जसले बिदेशी संस्कृतिको नक्कल गर्छ, जसले देशमा बसेर बिदेशको नक्कल गर्छ अनि बिदेशमा बसेर देशलाई गाली गर्छ । त्यसकारण bad boy यदि तिमी नेपाली पार्टीमा जादाँ यदि कोही आधा नेपाली मा र आधा अङ्रेजीमा बोलेको देख्यौ भने, यदी कोही यो इन्डियन हिरो यस्तो, त्यो हलिवूडको हिरोनीले नाङै फोटो खिचिछे भनेर हल्ला गरिराछन् भने, यदि कोही त्यहाँ बिदेशी रक्सीमा मातिएर सोझासाझा नेपालीलाई पाखे भनेर गाली गरिरहेका छन् भने हो तिनीहरु हुन् पाखे । आशा छ अब bad boy लाई नेपाली पार्टीहरुमा जादा पाखे को हुन् र को होइनन् भन्ने छुट्टाउन गार्हो पर्ने छैन । धन्यवाद!   Last edited: 05-Nov-11 11:46 AM

गाँठी कुरो गर्नुपर्दा ब्याड बोइले राम्रो सन्स्कारमा हुर्किने मौका पाएनछ, बडो दु:ख लाग्यो! पाखण्डको ज्वलन्त उदाहरण ब्याड बोइ भन्दा अरु केही/कोही हुन सक्दैन! "पाखे" असभ्य/कम ज्ञान भएको मान्छेलाई गिराउन प्रयोग गरिन्छ; पाखामा हुर्केकोलाई होइन! काठमाडौंको धुलो धुवा फोहोर अनि दुर्गन्ध र धन अनि "म त काठमाडौं बासी" भन्ने अहंकारको अन्धकारले ब्याड बोइ को मगज छोपेर उसलाई शहरीया पाखे बनाइदिएको छ! हेर बाबु, काठमाडौंमा धेरै बसियो, घर-काठमाडौं धेरै ओहोर्-दोहोर गरियो, तर तिम्रो काठमाडौंले कहिलै यो पाखे (तिम्रो बुझाईमा) को मन जित्न सकेन; धाक लगाउनु ब्यर्थ छ! छोरो अम्रिका ग'को छ, सभ्य बन्दै छ भनेर उता तिम्रा बा आमा गर्व गर्दै होलान, तर यता छोरो शहरीया पाखे बाट अम्रिकाने पाखे हुँदै छ भनेर कस्ले देख्ने? भगवानले तिम्लाई सद्बुध्धी दिएर यो पाखण्डबाट तिम्रो उद्धार गरुन!  साथीहो, बबुरो अली कच्चा छ, दया गरौ यसमाथि!

Somebody is Pakhe not because how he/she dresses but how they think. In Nepal, the literacy rate in rural areas a.k.a villages is lower than the cities so we tend to assume people in cities are more literate and show higher level of thinkings. So, if you lack to think rationally and even if your from cities, you would still be considered as a "Pakhe"  If u think your not a pakhe just becoz your from KTM, suck off.

busenitz · Nov 5, 2011 12:17 PM

@badboy Its not about Being from KTM or Non KTM, you dont judge people by where they are from,plain and simple. isnt that what america is all about, you dont discriminate on the base of sex, color, religion and geographic location. you judge them by the substance they have,

anon · Nov 5, 2011 12:29 PM

Bad Boy, Here are some examples 1.) You are pakhe to America 2.) You are pakhe Sajha and 3.) you are pakhe to your fked up mind. Peace~~

ihateamerica · Nov 5, 2011 12:57 PM

With a lot of things already said, I would like to know how bad boy defines "pakhey" and "sahariya" ? My parents moved from parents moved from rural Dhading to Kathmandu in mid 80s. Althogh my parets were born in rural area, my father attanded JP High School in Thamel and studied at AsCol. My mum attended the then famous Luitel School (same one where Dr Bhattrai, Dr Upendra Devkota et al were educated). They settled in suburb of Balaju (despite having house in Thamel) and we were brought up with the same values they were brought up with. I call myself "pakhey" as I still have the true Nepali roots and I dont only speak about it I follow it too. I was born in Kathmandu and attended local primary school before joining big faous high school. I used to see some difference between myself and few others in the class. Specially, those who consider themselves "sahariya" in my view. Demanding unnecessary things from parents despite their parents unaffordibility was the most common and irretating thing. They were definitely better dressed and had better gadgets to play with but I am preety sure my parents were happier parents. Fast forward 10/15 years, here I am. Most of those who pretend "sahariya" have achieved nothing despite being in their mid twenties and most those who have similar values and background like mine (in my circle) are really well off either educationally or financially. I love my roots, if you define it as "pakhey", I am proud to be a "pakhey".

gyanguru · Nov 5, 2011 12:57 PM

Pakhey is not just about where you are from. Your mentality makes you pakhey. I see lot of pakheys in parties in US. they have been in US for 4 years but they still act like they just came from some village in Nepal. They are still wearing the same jacket they brought from Nepal and the same polyester pant. They still wear their Bata shoes. They still can't speak one grammatically correct english statement. I don't have anything against them just find it funny.

bad boy · Nov 5, 2011 1:29 PM

 bad boy, don't judge people looking at their clothes and heavy accent. everyone doesn't have good english like yours, and maybe they don't have enough money to afford branded clothes like you can; or maybe they just think that it's not logical to spend big bucks on branded clothes and shoes when what they already have serves the purpose. they are just being themselves - they put on clothes they wish, they speak english the way they can, they behave with people in a cheerful manner, they often greet each other with an outburst of laughter you might call "paakhe", and they simply smile when they don't understand your sarcasm and i have deepest respect for them because i'm one of them. nomatter how awkward they seem in their outdated clothes and rugged english, they are not trying to be an american paakhe like you.

saau baa · Nov 5, 2011 3:03 PM

I saw one guy who was wearing suit, barely came from Nepal on DV. He used to work in some government office in Kathmandu from what I heard, refused to work in gas station coz its against his pride. He used to go to kroger wearing suit for first few months (LMAO). I call him pakhey even though he is from ktm and has more money but not people like "They are still wearing the same jacket they brought from Nepal and the same polyester pant. They still wear their Bata shoes. They still can't speak one grammatically correct english statement."

goddamn · Nov 5, 2011 3:24 PM

You can make yourself feel better by labeling others a pakhey but you know from the bottom of your heart that you are just another pakhey trying to make ends meet in America. Now don't even lie. You think you speak perfect english huh. Maybe you do and I am biased. But what I know is that you still lack the confidence to speak it and I am highly sure that your accent is different from the accent over here. I have met a lot of your kind who went to elite shools back in Nepal but they still have the problem that I just mentioned. Ever heard of the proverb 'Clothes dont make the man'. If you havent heard of it, it means that you shouldnt judge a person soley by his apperance. And by the way, what is wrong with wearing polyester pants and Bata shoes. I would rather wear that than walk around nude. But I think it matters to people like you who only wear designer clothings. I think you are just jealous of these nepali pakheys because they are earning more money or are doing better than you. Just admit it already. Now crawl back to the hole where you came from and stay there. If you roam around, Americans might mistake you for a pakhey. If you wanna debate on what I wrote. Feel free to, I have all the time today cause I didnt go to the crappy job that I have unlike you.

jhapaliketo · Nov 5, 2011 7:32 PM

When you go to nepali parties can you differentiate Pakheys and shahariyas? In the parties? Yes, I can differentiate:- Looking at the quantities of food in their respective plates !

adhikari_bandhu · Nov 5, 2011 10:40 PM

 Look at all these freaking dumbos. "Looking at the quantities of food in their respective plates" You fcking kidding me? How does it helps you to differentiate ? Quantity of food depends on the apetite of the person and the physical activities he/she performs.     I feel sorry for these folks and this is one of the reason why Nepal will never develop. Fcking disgusting ppl!!

busenitz · Nov 5, 2011 11:42 PM

 bad boy is the kind of person who never introduces his parents to his friends because he is embarassed to call them his parents. Most kids go through that phase but some never grow out of it, bad boy is one.  He is never friends with the "not dressed well" ones and looks down upon them. He doesn't get why Gandhi(despite his horrible dressup) was such a great leader.  @adhikari_bandhu: we are not differentiating girls(who tend to eat less) from boys ;), Be a man, show them what you are made up of. Chara le khako jasto khayera sahariya hudaina. I don't eat less because I fear people judging me. If I am hungry I stack up my plate and even go for a second. If someone like you has a problem, I show them my middle finger and go for a third.

 @dissident, much agreed n impressed. You said what i wanted to say here. Thanks!  

furke · Nov 6, 2011 12:19 PM

about eating: If you don't eat, how can you work hard to take care of yourself and family. Also, real men workout and eat a lot to maintain muscles. I am fond of eating. I used to feel shy to eat a lot in parties b4 but now I don't. I take little food at a time and make many trips though.  

furke · Nov 6, 2011 12:23 PM

 "If I am hungry I stack up my plate and even go for a second. If someone like you has a problem, I show them my middle finger and go for a third.  " haha...dammi!

I bet mvc and bad boy are the same person. Bad boy, since you started the thread, why dont we hear more from you. You dont have anything more to say. HUH?? I thought 'sahariyas' like you are smart and can really debate on a topic. Lets hear it. Come on.

violet7 · Nov 6, 2011 8:51 PM

Violet you are so full of assumptions that I find it a waste of time to debate with you. 'I bet mvc and bad boy are the same person 'you are just another pakhey trying to make ends meet in America. Now don't even lie.' 'You think you speak perfect english huh.' 'they are earning more money or are doing better than you' I don't know why so many people are up in arms about my post. There are shahariyas and there are pakhes and that's a true statement. There is no reason to condemn me for saying the truth. The only reason you would do that is because you feel that being 'pakhey' is derogatory, and because you know you are one of them. In which case, you are the one who discriminates against the pakheys not me. Like I said, I don't have anything against them, I find them entertaining.

Bad boy, I was waiting for you to reply and you did. Thank you for that and thank you for writing it in good english. I went back and read your older postings, your english wasnt up to this standard. I still think that you are mvc, you started out by writing Pakheys in your original thread and then later it became pakhes.Now go back and read your recent post and see how you wrote that word. Haha! If I am a pakhey, then I know that you are more pakhey than me cause I know I went to better schools and grew up in better places. P.S. A question for you. Do you find homeless people or those people who are suffering in US entertaining?

violet7 · Nov 6, 2011 9:39 PM

@violet r u trying to have a debate with bad boy cuz u think he is Nas??? Just a random thought. Feel free to reply

I dont understand how Nas came into this question. ??? Are you trying to tell me something?

Violet7 · Nov 7, 2011 1:12 AM

I dun know but it felt like it. "Like I said, I don't have anything against them, I find them entertaining" is similar to one liner at the end " nothing personal, its all about the business." Writing style Priyanka on the first post And same rebellious post and am still waiting for the ron paul thread

goddamn · Nov 7, 2011 2:32 AM

Bad Boy, PAAKHE is a degratory term....its like "NIggers"....that why the word itself is not appropriate.....other than that, people are shaped by the opportunities they get and the environment they are in....while you may be fortunate than others, its very dumb to judge someone based upon what family they were born in.....I was lucky that my parents were well off and I am also very grateful that I went to a school where you had richest and poorest studying together....if everyone had same opportunity, I don't think anyone would be a either pakhe or sahariya...... if you really want to grow up and be more mature, its okay to introduce yourself to one of these "PAKHE" u meet at a party and get to know him.....you can even try to teach him some common norms after you get to know him well..... Remember, at the formal dinner  with your companies executives, you are the "PAKHE" who might rest arm on dinner table, uses fork to put butter on dinner roll or eats soup with your desert spoon......and I say that's OKAY as long as you are polite and humble and willing to learn norms as you experience them......

Most of you are talking from a pedestal judging me for calling someone pakhey. Let me ask you one simple question. Haven't any of you used the word "pakhey" in your life?

Bad Boy · Nov 7, 2011 8:05 AM

NO! I have called people stupid and lame but not a pakhey.

violet7 · Nov 7, 2011 8:14 AM

Haha so you have the moral authority to call someone stupid but others are not allowed to call someone pakhey? Pakhey is just another word for 'villager'. I am sure most of the people condemning me in here have used the pakhey word at some point in their lives.

Bad Boy · Nov 7, 2011 8:30 AM

╭∩╮(︶︿︶)╭∩╮  to all the haters!!! my opinion,  1. If they are wearing sneakers and dresspants. 2. If they have their polo, v neck, roundneck shirt tucked inside their jeans. 3. If they stare at you as if they know you and keep staring at you. 4. If their first question to is 'what is your status here in u.s?'  5. If their second question is where your father works. 6. If they are standing, have hands inside their jeans, and looking around at ~60% angle. 7. If they talk to you when your outside smoking and you both are sober. 8. If they comment on girls' dress, cigarettes, or alcohol. 9. If they are drinking budweiser out of a can. keep on adding. :))  it's just my opinion. just because you are a pakhe doesnt mean i despise about your kind. i used to be a pakhe also but now i have become sahariya. but sometimes i still have some of my pakheness in me.  pakhe for life!!!!!!!!!!! lal salaam

Bad Boy · Nov 7, 2011 10:02 AM

 pirka,  if people who do all those things are pakhey then what else are they supposed to do to not be a pakhe and be a "sahariya" like you? scratch your balls and pick your nose like you do? and then use the same finger you used to pick your nose to clear that little thread of meat that got stuck between your teeth? and bad boy,  if Pakhey is just another word for 'villager', go call your dad, who i guess grew up/lived in village at some point, a pakhey and tell me what response you get.

Jantare, sorry to burst your imaginative bubble but my ancestors are from Kathmandu for at least past 5 generations that is known. Before that, who cares anyways. Maybe you guys are offended because you're first generation not so pakheys?
