Dear fellow Sajhabaasi- I am sure, many of you are planning to visit Nepal (not necessarily Kathmandu only)during your summer vacation this year. Not to mention, this "humdrum" is one of you in the list. Ever since I decided to go back home, this year, I feel so nostalgic of everything associated with it. I don't know how my cousin suntali looks like after four years; she was about an year old I left her on my arms. My own brother, I left him at twelve, and I don't know how he looks like now from face-to-face. I am sure there are more grey hairs on the elders. I don't know whether I would met some of my langautiyaa near by my house since those "doll's days." I doubt I will met some of them. Is that goreto baato nearby Gopal's house is the same as dusty as I left four years ago. May be couple of houses might be erected around us. Will I be able to see the white peaks of those mountains on the horizon??? May be that big dhoopiko tree nearby my house might be chopped out. Could I be able to hear the chirps of birds early in the morning or just the plain roosters sound??? Is my feeling will be the same as before after receiving vermillon or sandlwood's tika on my forehead??? So many questions and so many answers to explore. Just thinking of you "Kathmandu" I am lost in deep thought...... Sat 23rd/2005 ******************************* Dedicated for those who are going back Nepal this year...
