oys bro!amen/awomen(?;oP) to that :oD

and i dunno about u(or the rest) but im trembling(yes guys tremble too!;oP err dun we?its really cold here!!no other reason!believe me!even if i do add later its cos of some other non-guyly reasons?;oP hehe) right now as the thots comes into my mind about goin back to nepal..

Scenario in my mind:
the plane lands on tribhuv(w?)an airport..and as i hurriedly reach out for the exit in anticipation of being back home(at last!).. the thrill of of being surrounded by my fellow nepalese(not that im not surrounded here..it just feels diff back home :oD and most prob cos i never got to stay there long enuf to get "bored"?;oP)..family..frens and wat not ;oP..the sense of belonging i feel when the whiff of "fresh" air(saturated with dust and wat not!;oP) of kathmandu..is filtered thru the maze of jungle hair in the nostrils haha(jungle is an understatement!:oS ewwwww!haha truth makes u go ewww doesnt it? hehe)

as i walk down the steps..i cant help noticing the hoards of ppl in 2 lines..dressed to their nines(nepali style!hehe) and garlands in their hands(even a priest is there on the front!) most prob waitin to welcome some dignitary that i failed to notice who had been flyin on the same plane. but to my great astonishment..even before i take the last step from the flight of stairs and onto the runaway..the priest starts approaching towards me..along with a couple of ladies(the garland girls)...the next moment showers of fragrant garlands are hanging around my neck..tika of blessing runnin down my forehead(thanks the priest!who has started to chant prayers as he walks besides me :oS hehe)...

darn!*i think to myself*

my parents did such a grandiose welcome?and here i was expecting a big big(never ending) lecture(that i do deserve :oS hehe) the moment i touched down!life def is full of surprises!* i tell myself while adding that*.. i shud try to appreciate all these tho its not smthing tht i enjoy :oS hehe..

just as i start gettn accustomed(very adaptable creature that i am ;oP) and baskn under the applause(everyone seems to be clapping as i proceed and the dyam priest is still walkn alongside me and chanting prayers!SHEESH!if only everyone was this serious about their jobs in nepal!;oP hehe) i overhear some conversation...

(translated in english since gotta think about international readers and not cos my nep is bad and i just dunno how to write it ;oP)

one voice: "so this is that boka everyone was talkn about?"

another voice:"yeah...these days goats are too expensive esp since their stocks are dwindling down..all thanks to that sacrificial ceremony that took place few years ago and the clean record of the nepal airlines after that. isnt it hard to believe that since that event took place..every other airlines had some accidents..minor some might be..while nepal airlines is the only one that has a safe record!"

one voice: "honta..achhamma ko kura hoina..esto pani huncha?..coincidence bhanum ki..ke bhannum? and i never thot myself as a religious/superstitious person..but now..i really dunno wat to say or think!"

another voice: "same here..kya raag hoina?these days..khasi ko masu pani afford garnu ta garo cha..but i feel for those bokas..those oblivious "innocent" bokas that have no idea wat they are in for..until its too late!"

one voice: "tara ke garney..vote gareyko ho..and it was decided by a landslide..bokas ko life seems is less precious to most than the goats..nepal ko animal rights pani now is considered number one in the world hoina?esp the goats rights?"

another voice: ke ko rights ni..those animals only get their "rights" when it comes to sacrificial ceremonies..plus their population has really dwindled..anyways that boka who just flown in..is nearing the altar..lets stop chitchattin..and oh this boka from wat i heard was reared overseas re..no wonder it looks so fattened up..most prob ppl will think this boka is the perfect sacrifice..its hard to be a boka these day


after catchn the small talk:

NAHEEEEEENNNNNN!!!(which everyone hears it as "BYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA" )

good day!:oD
