hahahaha..we never cease to complain now do we? and still don't shy away from attending the show every year!...ahem..

for me, ANA is just "a" reason to gather with my amigos and if time/mood permits, of course, to hit on cutie pies from the homeland (which, BTW, i have been disappointed at time and AGAIN! ). talking of nepalese girls, where are all the "beautiful" ones? where they hiding? barring a handful, all i get to see in ANA are kalis, neptis, pokchis, dallis... not to mention their easily perceivable fake bosoms, 5 inch hills to cover their height (or the lack of it) and what not. even all those superlatives from nepali sabdakosh will run out of words in the honor of our so-called beautiful ladies to be really honest hahahahahaha. nothing new or exciting. really an utter disappointment for an "incredible hulk" (supposedly) like myself ke garne? hahaha

anyways, back to being a lil more serious, i have few things that I would like them organizers to focus their attention upon:

1) from next time on, please please please start the show ON TIME and finish it ON TIME according to the schedule. If you can't start at 8PM, don't mention it on the tickets and fliers. it was pretty offending to wait for HOURS for the show to start. STOP FOOLING US!
(BTW, i found a flier which read something like: Time and venues for the events are subject to change. What BS is that? That itself explains how unprepared the crews/organizers are for the show...thank god they didn't shift the shows from baltimore to timbucktoo in the last hour hahaha). that would have been pretty exasperating now wouldn't it?

2) tell them DJs, musicians and artists to REHEARSE umpteen times before showing up for the show. BE PROFESSIONAL ON THE SHOW! technical excuses are NOT tolerated especially when peeps have spent $$$$ and precious time from their busy schedule to attend the freaking show.  That DJ in the cultural show (i repeat: cultural show) played made in india by alisha chinoy to our utter disgrace and humiliation. Would you believe that?  What happened to the dude's common sense, let alone professionalism??? Nepali cultural show re. BULL!

3) STOP LYING! DJ Raju will dj the DJ night re! Where was he? A newbie was in his place rather who couldn't even play two good dance numbers in tandem during the entire show. Again, dearth of professionalism and common sense was clearly evident. What's more, Malvika Subba will judge the fashion show re!  Didn't see her either. If you cannot make them attend/judge, don't mention their names. STOP this foul marketing.

4) Food festival re hahaha...Couldn't resist momos ke garne. Bought a plate for 10 bucks. Didn't taste even remotely like momo. Heck, I myself can make better momos by miles than those tasteless uncooked flour pouches hahaha....Their luck that it didn't bring forth stomach upset for me (it nearly did BTW), else i was all up to sue them! :P

5) Same goes to sports organizer. Start the games ON TIME. Set the venues closer to the main hotel (especially with the fuel price hike). I liked all (almost) the athletes though. Their passion, competitiveness and energy for the game was pretty commendable at that standard. Keep it up! (On a personal note, it was sports which made my trip to the place worthwhile.)

*****
Having spitted it all, I do understand that it's easier to complain but hard to perform.  But c'mon man! this was the 26th convention. We are 26 years old already. High time we got mature and more professional.

BTW, I give my plaudits to the security. After having gone through series of brawls in the past, the organizers had the security intact in all possible holes of the events. Those bouncers did a pretty good job IMHO. BRAVO!


(PS. BTW, I still love Karishma. It's another thing that beautiful girls are either taken or already married :P)
