Cleopatra,

 

Thanks for stopping by. I hope you found it amusing enough.

Amazing,

 

I had never danced before. So my clumsy movement was a total mismatch for a fine dancer like Bina Budhathoki. So hers was the acting, mine was an adventure.

 

I did have a good time with Bina. I was her confidante to begin with. She was going through a difficult time of her relationships at that time and she somehow found me a trustworthy and non-judgmental friend and a terrific counselor.

 

The singers were Prem Dhwaj Pradhan and Pabitra/Sunita (?) Subba.

Captain,

 

Wavy locks ? Ha Ha ! I suppose you have noticed/gathered the contrast at present. Makes myself cry. What can I say ?

 

Mithila Sharma is indeed a gifted actress and instructor as well. However, the exaggerated and showy melodrama that her directors often succeed to get out of her does not do justice to the total actor in her, IMHO.

 

The other day I was reading a review by a foreigner of ours only official selection to the Academy Award so far, “Basain” (2005). Here is a line that captures what I mean.

 

“Riper-than-ripe melodrama and overacting erase any emotional connection with the besieged clan.”

ImI,

 

Well, after this disastrous rather “jump dance”, it did occur to me to get some training in dancing, not so much for movies though ( I knew the creator has not sculptured me to be the “hero” of Bollywood-Kollywood :-(  ). I did. But it was in seven desh paari Israel ma and it was my self-training in thousands of weekly weekend dance parties in my university.

भउतेजी,

 

<I>“..नेपाली र हिन्दी सिनेमाको नृत्य निर्देशकहरुले रुखको चोके देख्नै नहुनी, हिरो वा हिरोइनलाई टाउको छिराउन लगाइ हाल्ने, किन रे'छ कुन्नि।..”</I>

 

हिहीही ! हसाउँनुभो यार । तर, सिरियस्ली, छायांकनमा भिजुअल ईम्प्याक्ट दिन अर्थोक set  props  नभएर रुख रुख र रुखको चोके प्रयोग गरेका हुन् हाम्रा निर्देशकहरुले । सस्तो विकल्प के ।

Nails,

 

Now you are making me speechless. Thanks dear.

मिसनानी,

 

हाय ! धन्न जुँगाले ईज्जत धानेछ । तर क्यार्नु र, अब न त रहे कप्तान साबले बयान गर्नु भाको जुल्फी, न बाँकी छ हजुरले मन पराईदिनुभएको काला जुँगा नै ।

 

दुई तीन बर्ख अगि नै एउडा शेर टाँसेको थिएँ यही साझामा । सुनाम है ?

 

समयको अनम्य गति उपर म गम खाँदैछु

कलप लगाउदो छ नेपे फुल्दो जुँगाहरुमा

 

(Here I am pondering over the time, the steadfast one

There is Nepe not giving up on the moustache and hair dye)

अन्त्यमा,

 

A poster of the movie with me with my long lost treasure of wavy locks and seductively dark moustache ;-)
