Chicago: The Windy City!!
Every morning I wake up in the winter, I feel desolate and forlorn to see the ever-depressing weather, and withered trees and deposits and blankets of snow scattered along the erstwhile green patches and parks and, of course, the lake itself.
Well, the Nepalese community is not bad at all. Now I resent to the poster (Nagios), who said of low-income people. And I do admire the fact that you have been to parties with good income holders and whatnot.
This is just for you, Nagios, my new friend!
I have been living in Chicago for the last 10 years, and I am still proud to say that I came here with 10 dollars in my pocket. 10 dollars and 10 years later, I still fall in the low-income working the weekends group. But I guess, it would be too much for you to understand that I do not work weekends because of my responsibilities. I hate it when I have to work weekends, but then, I am not at the luxury of making my own schedule.
Now, I am sure you are a well groomed and well educated person with a good job (high income) who relaxes the weekends watching ball game to barbecue or stuff you would do when you have time and money to burn. But I am amazed to your shrunk and biased opinion about me and my brethrens ( the low-income/weekend working class). How could you possibly think that low income holders and weekend workers donot have a life or, at least enjoy it?
About gatherings and parties, you are absolutely right. There is a lacking of unity amongst the Nepalese in Chicago.
How it would not be, when a person or a group disgruntled at the point that the parties are held on Saturdays instead of Sundays, go and register their own organization and still hold their parties on Saturdays?
How it would not be when a group of Samaritans form an organization to help the displaced Bhutanese refugees and give a cold shoulder to DV emigres but the main page of the website says, we are formed for the new immigrants?
How it would not be when a person or a group of person draws a line between high income holder and low income holder, and puts aside the spirit of gathering or any fesitivities?
Well, Nagios, my friend, you should seriously think of socializing more, and maybe 5 years down the line, you would be heard saying,"Hya m**i!! Nepali haru jaha gaye pani tyestai ho raichha!!"
Maybe you are an acquaintance, and even maybe we are very good friends, given that you have been here for the last 2 years, and I happen to know a lot of people, old and new, high income and low income, alike!!
So, no hard feelings! Its just that if not me, someone else would be irked and retort to your post with profanity laced bantering.
PS: To all those who are new to Chicago, I have a suggestion. Why don't you form an organization for newly-moved-to-Chicago? I am sure it will help you and us bring on the same platform. I am not dsicriminate about any such matters, and will be there as long as there is a party and hordes of hot chicks!! Amen to that!!
And, HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL MY FELLOW CHICAGOANS (that sounded moronically obtuse) AND MY FELLOW COUNTRYMEN (this sounds more collective) AND TO ALL THOSE WHO ARE DRINKING RESPONISBLY (make sure, you rot the Z to A for nth times, should there be a stop).
