Time : Person of The Year ( POY)I haven’t gone through the magazine, but seen it being discussed in blogs. Congratulations being exchanged in one, a blogger observing the cover of Time on the roads in the other..so I was wondering what is this fuss all about? when I came across this article below which is published in The Kathmandu Post today. Originally published in The Washington Post as it says. Gives a different perspective and I enjoyed reading it..maybe you will too

Time: Person of the Year

decembers come…
Zadexpress
A grand closing to the year 2006. Written by a close friend of mine! None other than Hysh, Its beautiful
decembers come…
Life is too hard to explain in words…..its too complex. Paintings can merely grasp its outcome, but never its essence. Poetry can only weave life’s trials and happiness into rhyme, but never fully explain its existence. Words…words can do nothing in the aweness of life….Its december again….frost gathers on everything at the mercy of the night. A year has come and gone. Has anything changed I wonder. What have I become? what has life made of me? each second I have learnt something new….about life, about the people around me, about people unconnected to me in any way, about things that cause me to ponder. I know I am losing time, because time is slipping between my fingers, like sea sand, or the sand in a time tuner. slipping…..slipping away….
I am losing something precious every second, and yet each second I am moving closer to something beautiful….i fear I lose both, I fear I gain nothing. I fear I shall stop fearing. I look around me and I am having the best time of my life yet, Masha Allah its been so good, so easy and yet soo soooo hard. Do u know how hard it is? The pain and the laughter merge to form the fabric of my life. The intensity of hurt, the need to do something. Something …i dont know what. The ache since childhood, is still undefined and still unrealized. I have still not found what out what it is, what it draws me to.
I have loved this year, given my heart away, sealed it in the security of someone elses. And I have new found relationships that I know I must honor, treasure and protect.
I have new found ambitions that have taken the place of the ambitions I lost this year, the dreams I gave up. And I gave up many. It turns out that you cant really have everything, that for the 100 things you want, to achieve 50 u need to give 50 up….its the ironic compromise of life, remember I said that.
This year took me by suprise, took many who knew me by suprise, and yet I felt as if everything was happening just the way it was meant to, despite it being good or bad. I’ve lost and I’ve won, and I merely played along, and I was spectator, and the patient one, the angry one, the stubborn one, the mean one and I cried, and I died a little, lived somemore, loved a hell of a lot, I waited and I made others wait, I gave up and I held on, I reached out and I reached in, I swore this year-used the “F” word for the first time, and I laughed, and joked and sang, and fought, and smiled and I was happiest and saddest this year and I was me all along….
Yes, Everything has changed, but Gods given us the uncanny ability to adapt to change without compromising the core of our being. I have changed in ways I cant believe, and I have reached something, and become someone, I have come a distance, I have crossed the crossroads and ventured beyond. And I have become someone older, wiser. Life has merely done what its being ordained to do by the Controller, and its molded me into what I am, and what I am to become…..and I’ll defend it with all my might.
“I love the time and inbetween, the calm inside me. In a space where I can breath, I believe, there is a distance I have wondered, to touch upon the years….” - Haley (OST One Tre Hill)

hehe..nice to know that.. and now can I go to seventh heaven re kya..:p
Jokes apart!!! But I always wonder the other people at the other end of wire are like in real world…I have many cyber friends some of them very intimate yet have not even seen them in picture!!! well friendships just doesn’t have boundaries, does it?? And in this blue nowhere the boundaries become even infinite…innit??
And reading things here makes me feel there are people around who think alike me, heavenly feeling it is!!!..:)…maybe thats another intimacy in between 0 and 1 s..;)
Have a nice day out there!!! -
Juggy
The best thing on net is U can be real you, no commitments and fear of losing someone as it is all about virtuality and anonymity…. Maybe U may meet the one in other end of wire in real someday but that is just a maybe…
Trust is I think mutual thing which grows along with the time…more trust you develop more intimacy develops and so on the talks along with that… I never ask to meet or see anyone on the other side, because I respect their privacy and anonymity!!! and I don’t expect myself to be like what I am on virtual world in real…So I keep intimacy yet the distance!!! and maybe thats why the persons in the other end trust me and thus I trust them..:)
But I won’t say that I don’t wish for meeting at least one time, just I am afraid I won’t be able to be myself..:)…selfish feeling it is, but yet I do care less!! because I am so tired of acting for people around in real world….:)
Anyways enough of my blue nowhere bakwas guffs!!!
And If I meet you someday somewhere, I will certainly be myself, because I know u will be….urself, as free as the bird!!!..:) -

Damn hungry..haha be glad that you aren’t online. I will pour all my anger on you!! lol Am in the computer lab at the moment, on my right sits Bik bro, on the right Su and Ash..We’re all Damn hungry would be the biggest understatement of the century. well, we’re all working for our Agriculture presentation tomorrow… I did my part, this last moment hurry absolutely sucks..sometime ago he was sayin ” Ma atma bhayera janminu parne”…Wht I think of it is: Lallu ko bhok hadtal garne bela bhayecha!! ” Lunch and on time, I lack any record of such an event. My definition of a normal day is “Lunch at 12″. Based on that every day is an Abnormal Day. Ghar pugda samma ta sadhai Lunch = breakfast, lunch, tea cum dinner huncha! hahaha Barbab Hungry existence yar. Still good that I have dudes leading a similar existence.. He’s saying “Bhok pani marisakyo yar, time ma khaye po!” I replied : “Yestai ho Bikashe karyakarta ko jindagi!!”
Other than that just stretched my body..again a voice telling me ” compile matra garne ho, two hours job”..Only 2 hours!! Man, I hate Liars…Then there’s a discussion on “Privatization of Water supply in Kathmandu” going on in Martin Chautari today, yah tyan gaye afailai faida huncha so kina najane..Life…its unnecessarily hectic?? not hectic but psycho, kehi bhujnai saki rako chaina..total Confusion!! I am sick of this confusion too, sadhai confused…waihat existence!!( uff this must be the hungry tummy ko effect) God why the hell do I blog! Someone tell me this is a Capital Offence! I m goin absolutely Nuts here!…

hehe…everyone bets on the winning horse, so di your friends, since you must be the smartes among them, thus delegate all the works to you.
end result is: by the end of the final year, good chunk of students wouldn’t know how to format documents in MS Word, sad to say, that’s how our education system works.
same bunch of students would be happy to get an A, without having learnt anything, such a shame.
i guess i am going over board being too judgemental…hehe…

first of all i am so sory to be inactive nd i knw i dont even deserve to be forgived.i think we need a leader who is capable enoughto coordinate the grp properly.ani aru ta i dont hve any thg to tell

so true, yo grp ko kaam ta “sucks” like anything especially in our classma ta. Grp presentation and the whole thing is done by one or three people in a group of 10 people. I sometimes wonder is it only in our college or also in other college grp presentation is like that. And you always have to be rude to people and be pissed off only because of some people who don’t work in a grp.
It is high time that one learns to be independent and move on rather than spending time gossiping and doing make up and talking about only guys and fashion. Give us a break. It is not that we can t talk about these stuffs. but c’mmom there are other issues which are trendier
There are certain people in our class who are like talking continuously like anything as if they don’t have life left to talk about it. It is too annoying.
lala ma ta ali topic bata divert bhaiyo tara aja class ma yesto ris utheko thiyo just because of two ladies in our class.Thank god, grp work yo semester ko lagi sidhiyo. Natra bhane ma ta sab ko dushman bhai sak thyo hola.
Tara baalai bhayena. Third year pugda samma ni kaam garena bhane ta pachhi ke garne ho.
But the more annoying thing is that, some people tend to project themselves in front of teachers as if they have worked and act as if they are the key persons involved though they have done nothing. How can people be so mean, selfish and self centred??? Is this what knowing real world mean?? Knowing all selfish people and learning to be like them???
It is too flipping ( this is a code word that only daz, me and hysh know)
lala daz, timile bhadas nikalyo. Must have felt better. Maile yeti lekhera ta I have felt better.
All the best for your ind. term paper.

ADB Guff ( Dedidated To Dearest Jaz Only!)
Zadexpress
Let me remind myself with what I should not be mentioning in this entry:
No mention of a drink called C..O..F..E
No way about the same damn route home esp NOT BaneshworThe Sole Reason:
Highly likely of being punched in College Tomorrow
(Can already hear the likes of Dhungz, Hysh and Jaz yelling Bhayooooo Pugyooo ta ra Tero Coffee Guff le wakka , dikka banaisakyo!!!) I am soooo Obedient, How can I not abide by THEIR rules!!
Gals, worry Not. This Entry is Strictly Only Conversations No Coffee.What can be hotter than a cup of Coffee on a cold, rainy winter supposedly DAY according to the time but looks more like evening already outside my bedroom window. Wait…girls don’t close this page!!! Ha ha ha I ‘m writing about the visit to ADB.
-
jaz
daz
thanks first of all for this dedication babes. ADB actually rocked. They are so cooperative. Last time when I visited, her (Ms. S’s) room was so cosy. It wasn’ t even like an office room.,Pictures with her family, her son and her husband. Cool man. I would really want my office like that. And it had such a homely environment.
The way she was talking to her colleagues… it was so informal. I really liked it.Though we are so much against ADB especially for the M..project, my one meeting with Ms. S changed my perspective. I mean not totally but like we have to consider both sides. For GG term paper I was most of the time searching for the negative things about ADB but after talking with Ms. S and Ms. K from ADB, it is necessary that we consider both the perspectives. I mean this is something which everybody knows but when you are surrounded by people who are always talking against something, you also tend to have that negative mentality.
Ani karki thank you so much for not going into detail about the “creamy tea” we had. But it was so good.
But anyways, I have to thank ADB for their support and time. I would surely love to be in that organisation man. It is so tempting. So karki, hami kahile dekhi ADB ko dhoka khat khataune ta??? -
Dreamer
I am not Jaz but couldn’t stop myself from answering: The mention of Coffee in the above write up= total 10 (including the last one). Okay, it could be 11 if you include the one at the beginning: “a drink called C..O..F..E.” Will people other than Jaz are qualified for the coffee treat should they selected as the winner?
About the blog itself: one hilarious piece that I happen to read in a long time anywhere. Sounds like a short story with brilliant characterization.
“White complexion, a black dot on the forehead ( Bindi) and eyes that are bordered with black lines, she wears a maroon hair band which has a twisted shape. She is clad in black from head to toe. “Lady in Black is talking to us” I remix the “Lady in Red is dancing with me” in my head.”
Ha, ha ha.. You know what, you coud have been more elaborative. I can learn more about THE Officer from other lines that follow but somewhere in my mind I felt like reading more about her right in that paragraph.And this line is superb:
“Do you think there’s a surveillance camera here?” She asks.
Exact translation of thoughts and feelings that people have about the new place they reach. I have often asked the same question to myself (or with my friend) whenever I got to different places. Just imagine you being filmed in a lift (or in washroom for that matter!): people talk all kinds of talks there.
Send this link to the lady in ADB. I hope she doesn’t discover the article latter by herself and send you an email: “ke lekheko ko testo, sabbai kura?” He he he. I guess she never though even for a second that she was dealing with the HOTTEST blogger in town!
So ADB guys, be aware of bloggers!
-
Dreamer
Seems Jaz won the race (to respond). But I swear there was no comment when I started to type!!! It was a long comment so it took time. She hasn’t yet answered the question so it seems if there is a fair judgement, I might win the game!!!
But I must conclude, after reading Jaz, that more details are pouring in. For instance, Ms. S and Ms. K. Will anyone crack the codes of S and K here? Yes please, also describe in detail the creamy tea. But where does this creamy tea come? Didn’t you have milk coffee with little sugar, I suppose?

Ani dreamer, we had coffeee actually. And since zade has promised not to write coffee, she replaced coffee with creamy tea. ANd thanks for counting coffee.
zade, see you are still using coffee so many times. kahile sudhriyela zade aba. coffeee bina ta zade kota zindagani nai chhaina.

Before I gloat, and choke on my celebrity status, and pass away without showing my gratitude to you, let me extend my, ‘thank you.’
Since my blog is directed on your site, traffic has tripled, in otherwise, obscure and maddeningly quiet cyber corner—my blog.
So, the Kathmanduites have switched their allegiance from ‘tea’ to ‘coffee.’ Last I remember, we were tea-people. I remember most people would make tea like ‘rasbari ko chasni’ sweet, dipped with all the spices that would go into ‘pulao.’ – crazy people. God damn! Someone needs to tell them it’s a beverage not a desert. I am glad; they can’t do that to coffee.
Don’t worry about the amount of coffee you have in a day, you need to have some kind of indulgence in life, if not drinking, or smoking, coffee nai sahi.

Hey daz
Don’t mind hai about what I said to you about this entry. See karki, we are on a look for new interesting stuffs from you because we know you are capable of doing it and you are so much stuck on coffee guffs that hya hamro lagi ta normal bhai sakyo.
But having said this, I want to tell u also that it is your blog and it is your space and u can write and do and express whatever you want. It was just what I wanted to say being one of the regular readers of ur blog. uhum… I can imagine someone smiling with pride.A FUnny girl.:-p
lala I know you will surely comment on this So just waiting…….. -
twaaks
I have to disagree with gols on this one…. coffee tastes like mud to my sensitive pallate. I still require a large with cream and sugar to get started early in the morning, but do not enjoy the taste. I still prefer the chasni with masala chiya
heheheAnd this is Zaded at her best. Nice writeup about nothing in particular. That’s the mark of an exceptional writer…..

तन्नेरी पुस्ताको सेल फोन बानी
Zadexpress
Was published in the Kantipur on Sep 5, 2006 ( bhadra 20,2063) based on conversation with my friends in college. Written by a Kantipur jouno, someone who blogs too. LOL It Made my friends “Nepal Famous” surely so want them to be World Famous now.. Had relatives calling them up saying “Saw u in kantipur” but brought along some scoldings too for being toooooo expressive about our cell phone habits too…have highlighted the dialogues..
-
Possibility
I am utterly disappointed that Kantipur article didn’t use the word Taruni! How sweeet a word! Today’s tarun and tarunis in Kathmandu are really mobile savvy. Please don’t punch on my face!
-
Possibility
Tarul? Well, remember what badamaharaj said: Nepal dui dhunga bich ko tarul ho! If Nepal is tarul, we all are taruls! But since Tarul will not incorporate all mobile savvy boz and galz of today’s world, taruna and taruni would be the best option!
-
Wagle
Wow, cool to see my article in Zade Express! Didn’t want into the hot discussion going on here about the usage of the word Tanneri but, since I have used the word in my story above, let me put my stand here:
I can understand some people have certain likes or dislikes for certain words. For instance, I hate word “hapta” and I always go for “sata”. But for tanneri, I find it more colloquial and gaunle word. Plus, I think the word tanneri has all the energy, power and enthusiasm that a young need to have. Come on, tanneri, you are not buda khada or bal bachha! You are tanneri, you got to do something!
About tarunis, this too is a gaunle word and I don’t say I entirely dislike it. But yes I feel it difficult to use the word taruni in my newspaper articles to describe a young girl even if she is really a taruni! It’s used mostly in look geets (folk songs). And by males, I guess. So I don’t think taruni has the punch nai marnu parne khal ko naramro artha!! -
mp
post about “cell phone” and discussion on “taruni”…I think I should add something else related to cell phone use (not by “tanneries” but by budha/budhis!) right after 1 Feb 05…I was in Nepal during that month and was meeting govt officers and bureaucrats quite a lot…And everybody I met had a cell phone, either hanging by the neck or clipped to their belt, although as you all know the network was down(ed). I was really curious as to why they were all carrying cell phones that were not working, so I asked one of them. He had replied – “Mahesh babu, I always hang this phone by my neck in the hope that it’ll ring anytime soon…its been nearly a month and it hasn’t once!” I suggested him to use it as an alarm clock so that it’ll ring occasionally. He had laughed off my suggestion then. But reading above about the demotion of cell phones to clocks during that period, I now wonder if that person was also doing the same!?!
-
Wagle
Well, cell phones were widely used as digital diaries for weeks after Feb 1, 2005. Yes, as alarm clock as well. We wrote quite a few cell experiences on blogs. When the post paid service was resumed (selectively though and mine was resumed in the first lot while many of my Kantipur colleagues had to wait for several days and weeks), it was really cool to talk over phone. The ring tone came like the discovery of a long lost friend. I always carried cell phone even when there was no network (but no on neck or on hip) because I don’t carry watch and cell phone perfectly works as one! Another advantage of cell phone, bhannu parla!!

“Blogstars like you…”
>>>wrong word for worng person! I must say. But yes from one perspective, every blogger is a star because they shine in their blogs with the freedom they have to express themselves! Why go to other sites like UWB or WSJ, take Zade Xpress is the perfect example. And the new blogstats are the proofs!!
-
Wagle
Well, your password is private but the blogstats are public. Let me quote you from your previous comment (two comments above):
“Mero ta blogstats badera chaupat!! Almost exceeded the highest blog visit per day till date!”
-
Wagle
But journos tend to believe what bloggers like Zade write in their sites. And she writes, let me quote again,
“Mero ta blogstats badera chaupat!! Almost exceeded the highest blog visit per day till date!”
So the number of visitors almost exceeded the highest number till date! That stat is enough to say the popularity is growing (to get back to the original point, by the way)!
