Trishuli Travels :)
You got a fast car
But is it fast enough so we can fly away
We gotta make a decision
We leave tonight or live and die this wayI remember we were driving driving in your car
The speed so fast I felt like I was drunk
City lights lay out before us
And your arm felt nice wrapped ’round my shoulder
And I had a feeling that I belonged
And I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someoneFast Car- Tracy Chapman
The bus was on its way to The Royal Beach.Camp, Khatauti. He took the microphone on the bus and announced: A (a guy) has got a message for K (a girl).
A says “ Aja hami tyo garne jun hamile pahile kahile gareko chaina!…….. (The bus roars with laughter) Rafting” he adds after sometime. But no one bothers. The mind of the young, not always but mostly get “such things” given the slightest hint, you needn’t even mention the word! (And I bet you got it too!)
“Parkhi ma talai chaddina” I could hear her mutter from the backseat. The bus riders were still laughing. Nevertheless the message wasn’t A’s but announcer made! And we didn’t go rafting, the “kahile nagareko kura” never happened either! LOL
It was time to chill for the former and the current Devs Team. I could prefer to call the trip “Hardcore Relaxation” as opposed to don’t know “If I am busy” or in “leisure” lifestyle for most students. Trim tall trees, we walked past them. Someone behind me asked “ Aja ta timi pani “STONED” hune hola ni?”
“Stoned?” I inquired on coming across the “In” vocabulary for the first time.
“Stoned!” S/he laughed. The laughter rung a bell in my head. I got the exact meaning!
“ No” I replied.

Now I miss Nepal even more..:(
!! You should try that sometime; Just to feel how does it is like to fly!!.. 
But it sure was great to read a travelogue that rejuvenated my cherished memories. I had done the rafting for once: Up to Grade 4 wave I think; And it felt like nothing!! :S
I think I have to go for higher waves but problem is I dunno how to swim either!! But Trishuli ma chhain dubulki mareko ho; Life jacket layera..
And then to keep Adrenaline running I did Bungee jump the same month!! It was one heck of experience..
And Now I miss Nepal even more!! Heaven it is; And I live one more day in this burning hell!!

It would be beautiful indeed if Jim Carrey was there! I really really missed.
So I think I am stoned…on that regard!

Hmmmm, well, by the look of it I think that you had a good time. But still am not quite sure if you think you did or not. Sometimes in the midst of being smashed or stoned, its always nice to take a little time out by yourself to lay back and look up to the sky…. Glad to see that you did just that!
I am interested to see that you have met Ram. I met him on my trip to KTM and quite a guy he is. And that is another time and place and story all together. Let’s just say it was a late night out in Thamel (the place makes me cringe as well!) and an even later arrival to catch a bus to Pokhara… And, should have been a hint to what I was about to encounter on a LONG LONG LONG trek with many unrealized preconceptions and RUDE awakenings… (i think you may be able to read btw the lines? and have a little insight..)
It seems that we seem to run across the same people quite often, though we have never met, and we live on completely different sides of the universe. Kind of like taste in music. It’s a small world after all! What goes around does surely come around, huh?
Would love to go on, but that is not for public forum now, is it?
To lyrically quote life… “What a long strange trip it’s been…”
Take it all in, dear Zaded, your journey has only yet to begin! Your future is truly bright and you already are keen to an insight that many search for years and never find… If you are a clue to the future, than I am glad to know that the riddle is still out there!
HA! Just have fun girl… I truly believe that regret is a waste of time and all lessons learned are just another clue to what makes this world go ’round. Now go and make it spiN! Just always remember to sit back and take notes…
To quote one of my fav professors of all times, John H. White… Always remember to click that shutter, and take that photo with the camera of your heart… In the end, that’s all that really matters!

Zade,
(Naam le sambodhan garney anumati chhaina holaa bhanera Zade maatrai bhaneko ni!)
That Keshuvko in yesterday’s comment in not me hai.
May be a volunteer.
Is email address also same? What about IP address?
Hope I will get a response. Emailing is the best the best idea. What do you think?
I need to be cautious jasto chha… kasaile anta-shanta lekhidiyo bhane mero naam maa, responsible ta ma hunu parchha ni!
————————————–
Here now I write apropos to your fantastic entry.:P
Part I:
————-
Visuddha Nepali!
Ummm… one can hardly see me conversing with fellow Nepalis in English . However, to take to visuddha
Nepali has been next to impossible. To tell you the truth, we are unnecessary habituated to amalgamating
English words in our everyday lingua franca.
If you speak in cent per cent refined Nepali, you will be tagged as Sahityakaar or Kavi!
If you use double-dyed Nepali, you will be taken for a bucolic (gaunle, pakhe)!
Even for the most of people,
particularly younsters, who do not need to communicate in English, it’s matter of shame to be tagged
as
Pakhe.
More often than not, for many English-Nepali
khichadi has been way out from sort of inferiority complex. If
you can twist your tongue otherwise like a westerner, you won’t be labeled Pakhe
! A laboured accent means
your exposure to the outside world! Your convoluted tongue and promotes you to “Modern.”
>>>”They’re embarrassingly flamboyant in their “not required” accent.”
Take it easy. heheh Yours way may be annoying me! *** (see footnotes)
)
(Hope you won’t misinterpret me.
/I am trying to insert smileys, I only know of two…… k bhanchhan…. birsein… esto kya … shortcut? keys
kya…
and 
only /
By the way, such an English as you have mentioned embarrases me as well. Though amiss most of the times,
my impression is: If males, they are MSMs who unnecessarily twist their tongue. If females, they are showy
bimbos.
:P:P:P:P
Part II
————-
“A” le “K” lai diyeko message dui-arthi chha. But punch is there in his ambiguity.
Guys are rude;
Girls are prude.
(Wah! It rhymes)
Part III
——————
Umm. I am relieved. There are others who too do not know swimming.
Close to biggre water bodies, I always fear of drowning. Swimming ko lessons lai pani basic rights maa
rakhnu paryo bhanera aba aandolan garnu parchha. Let’s found a new forum and take to the streets!
I believe “whacko” part would be more interesting!
ESPN and FTV! I am trying to seeing the combination in my mind.
Part IV
—————–
“The Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Sunshine”
Jim and Kate. Those dialogues you recalled.
Pity! You were alone. Where you alone, by the way? No ’sapana ko rajkumar’ at all?:)
Part V
————-
Drug non-users (esto word pani huchha kahin?) and nonsmokers can learn from you to get stoned. And you
are a great mentor to teetotalers to be smashed.
———————————
: You while writing in Nepali unnecessarily infix Hindi words. Is that to be
***
Let me digress for a while
stylish ? (………………:P:P:P Mr. Ram’s Americanised English..heheh ma sochdai chhu kasto bolchha holaa tyo maanchhe le…)
Or, just because of overdose of movies?
———————————
(I am nagging myself now: I was supposed to do something very important but I wasted time writing
comment on your entry. Thukka ma!)
All the best
ZaDeD 9:18 am on March 23, 2007 Permalink |
Hmm from where do I start? Bungee jumping I guess
.I have been thinking about that for ages, but you know the same “No money”problem. Student life..tehi ta ho ni..I think I will go rafting first, the deal was pretty reasonable though we could not do it..have planned it for next time…kunai subha din! I would loooooove to fly though there’s one worry I have which is again too crazy to discuss!
N Utsabji…you sound kind of depressed there…but life’s what you want it to be hoina ta? Could be a moment of pleasure lifetime of pain or otherwise..I think the way out could be like sth my fren’s dad would say when she was a kid “ Work while you work, play while you play this is the way to remain happy and gay!” Just live the moment. Here’s my favorite quote “Nothing is there to come, and nothing past, But an eternal NOW does always last.” it keeps me high on happiness of course always..
Thanks Kali! The Shivajis were busy with themselves so I guess I was preoccupied with making sand castles, dancing and getting lost….Stoned by the atmosphere! Ani dear ke ko hatar, sara jindagi bakin cha ni to do the unthinkable!!
ha ha ha
N Jim Carrey!! Oh ho never knew Da Jim Carey knew of this site too!! Whatever name you keep, whatever the email address I can always track you honey!! Lol and for your misssssssing part…oh sure you oughta have been there because I was in Hilary Swank Mood! Would set you rolling down the beach and you could take a midnight bath! N I could still enjoy the night on my own! Stoned? He he he
Welcome Redde! And what can I say to this But still am not quite sure if you think you did or not. Surprised me cuz that’s what I have tried to avoid here..the issue if I really did have fun or not!! He he he the entry is thereby very superficial which is just opposite of what I actually wanted to write! All I want to say is….when we are small, kids then no one really bothers if you enjoy being alone or keep playing alone you know…that becomes an easy to handle, good kid. If you carry on the trait for long you become the matter of concern for everyone, which is hard to handle!! So unwanted! So sick and tired of being asked a million times “Are you having fun? Are you…why alone…bichara( pity) they both are couples..she doesn’t….” Damn! Still the hope persists: the one who isn’t afraid of being alone should make an interesting friend for someone at least!
N for the “LONG LONG LONG trek with many unrealized preconceptions and RUDE awakenings” ha ha ha I surely got that one! Sometimes the best of walks turn out to be the worst because of people around us, doesn’t it…like an overextended story, and you’re dying for it to end! One of my Marchy trips was like that! I never sought an energizer after a trip than I did after that..was dying to take a walk underneath the familiar street lamps of ktm ….and I did the moment I arrived..had a cup of coffee and walked rather than heading home…..people make so much difference!
And walking’s like writing a journal…time for self-introspection. Look back and learn and move on! And I really loved the quote. Thank you! And I could go on and on too…he he he and most times I do despite it being soooo damn Public!
N dear Sumee, we had a real good conversation on the sand that evening hai? Like you said…Straight from the Heart! Had wanted to put it here too but ended up mentioning everything superficially only…I guess the best things in life can only stay in memories! And I will remember that evening for ever!
Ani Vahsekji,
N Espn cum FTV combination…keta haru ta esail extra chalu junchan so hope your imagination hasn’t gone toooooo wild! Lol
Glad to know you don’t swim too! Yah felt relieved! As in Okay I’m not Alone this time!! Ha ha ha And the whacko part would leave you rolling with laughter but something I would find embarrassing to write it here! A pic could do it all! Sadly, I can’t dare such things!!
Pity! You were alone. Where you alone, by the way? No ’sapana ko rajkumar’
Take back that pity part hai…even though it’s a joke…malai ta wakkaaaaaaaai lagisakyo tesaile! Ha ha ha…Well, I was alone because mentally compatible pani dherai vetida rahechan tara I just realized that I want someone Morally Compatible!! Morality is vague, personal, but my opinion is the more compatible u are on a Vaguer level..the better you’re together!! Whtever that means!! He he he anyone got it? If so I would start dreaming of some “prince on the internet” rather! LOL
Couldn’t get how I could be a mentor….well I have never been stoned or smashed either by G and booze (the day I do I’ll surely but a khatra blog entry!)…I have a dream, a dream where my generation can have fun without the two of em…I wish for a change…might sound idealist still…I mean can’t we just be ourselves and enjoy rather on depend on some substance, get ecstatic on seeing a “Grass” plant?…. malai achhamma lagcha…but nothing I can do just watch and wonder..
And for my Hindi mix..well, I never meant to be stylish or anything..that’s the way I speak and many a times don’t even know the “Hindi” element in it. You could help me improve
Thank you! Ani tyo thukka ma bhannu cha vane kina comment garnu?? you could prioritize your work and never regret!!
Good day everyone. And here I go again blog about everything and anything in life. God, why can’t I bottle up my emotions and shut up!I wonder why I have to be so expressive..Ufff…

Hi zade, i will comment u later on ur recent comment towards me. But, i think that u r confused and deleted my comment. Actually, Kathmandu Speaks is not me, he/she has only quoted my comment there and u may have deleted as thinking that both are of mine.

I am a teetotaler but for a couple of time I have ‘tested’ grass…
Not good experience, however.

nope I for one don’t know Matyangraji…well, you seem to be a huge fan of hers so if I remember correctly her new email address is something.say@gmail.com ( not sure though, you could try it) which was mentioned in her blog. You can ask her directly.

Day 11!!
Dear Diary,
I clicked on the bookmark hoping that she will be back with new blossoms!! But the garden remains with same old rose!! I smell them again; and it gives the same freshness! But still heart yearns for new flowers to come!! Spring is going to end and I just hope for wonderful flowers to bloom once and again!
Days and days gone and I wait here wishing for once and again!!
