Karnali,

I sometimes wonder if they'd do the same had the host been someone else but our southasian clan members, it is not laziness or lack of punctuality, but a lack of common courtesy and taking our own freinds and families for granted.

Idk,

You are spot on. It is, actually all over the place because formatting in sajha has never an easy task, I actually had my story in different chapters and paragraphs but as I uploaded it, it was a little iffy. And again, I do not do a great job of editing, I shall improve.

Kiddo,

I knew someone would lambast me on calling Chabahilites names, and you did it with perfection and enough rationales, kudos for that. I was actually expecting tirades that involves the feminine members in my family. LOL. But like everyone else, you and I could both discern between an inane humor (like this one) and a solemn detest. This was clearly a humor, and you are right, every corner of our great Kantipur has been plagued by uncontainable traffic and lack of cleanliness. The reason why Chabahil came to my mind was because we were always stranded in that nasty traffic on our way to our aunt who lives in Dhumbarahi, everytime.

mnm, alche, halo, rethink and kaji saab,

Appreciate you taking time to read this, and yes, CPT it is, (a)cross the pacfic time fits in aptly too.


Vivant,

Every square in kathmandu where the roads further ramify have bottlenecked traffic. Besides Chabahil, Gaushala, Thapathali, Teku, Koteshwor fall into the same category, and do we still remember the infamous maitighar traffic? I have no clue how I used to merge into the flux of motorcycles and tempos going to New Baneshwore from Jawalakhel.

Speaking of tardiness during such occasions you are right, it is actually a matter of embarrassment if you show in early, both for the host and you as well, but that should change, at least when we are here. I still remember a wedding reception in Dallas earlier this year where a friend of mine was getting married and his boss and colleagues showed up at the venue few hours before the guests started showing up. I am not sure how they felt about it.
