Part-14: August 24,2007 (Contd:) A naive swimmer plunging into the sea: We boarded on the day bus which headed to Kathmandu early morning from Itahari. The plan to travel by day bus was of my friend. He wanted to see the places and the scenes on the way to Kathmandu. Probably he was enjoying the journey and I seemed to be doing so. But a question was always hitting my mind that I am going to a place where there was no one to address me "Hey Maila!”. The city would be completely new for me. We reached Narayangarh in the evening. My friend said that he had relatives there and so we were going to spend the night there and we would move to Kathmandu the following morning. We reached his relative house. It was Magh and it was time of SWASTHANI BRATA KATHA. The ladies in the house were about to tell the story. My friend told them that I was a good in reading such kind of stories. Then they insisted me to read the story in that evening. When I finished the story, they appreciated me for my way of reading. The next day we headed to Kathmandu by a bus. We reached Naradevi, where his brothers were living. I was in the biggest city of Nepal, the capital city of Nepal, Kathmandu. I thanked my friend for helping me visit Kathmandu. He suggested me to look for a job there. Oh man, who would give me a job? Where could I go to look for a job in that big city? Whom to contact? Where to stay until I would get a job? So many answerless questions were reeling in my mind. Thinking about here and there, this and that, an idea struck my mind. I had heard that one of my friends from high school was working in Bishwojyoti Cinema. I told my friend whom I was living with about this. We went there to find my high school's friend. By luck, I was able to find him. He was very happy to see me there after several years. He took me to his residence at Baneshwor. He was living with his mom, dad, brothers and sisters-some were job holders and others were students. All of them were happy to see me at their home. They suggested me to live with them and hunt for a job. It was an overwhelmingly joyous moment for me. There was a tree trunk on my way to catch while I was being swept away by a river current. It was a huge support to me. But the question of finding a job was steal there. This reminded me, “A friend in need is a true friend indeed." (Contd:)
