I put the Rs 500 on the counter and said,” One ticket, Bourne Ultimatum, front stall”. The man took the money and asked for the change. I pushed the Rs 100 note with two twenty rupees ones. “Only one?” he inquired pushing back the Rs 500 note.
“Yes” I answered.
She often comes up with smart things to say. For instance, her take on this Dashain is “I don’t know if it is Dashain or Easter?” If you got it at one read then well, think you are smart. If not here’s the explanation. There’s no Dashain for us this year, some one passed away. I have never really enjoyed going to knock the door of all my relatives in Dashain, actually hated doing that. (Both of us). But this having no option “not to go” anywhere is really killing me. Yesterday was “Tika”. It was just another day at home for us. I’ve always liked putting Tika and getting the blessings that follows. I mean, its a culture I cherish, the Tika and Jamara..a rich culture with so many stories behind it from Lord Rama to Mahisasur.And it feels real good that the festival is actually celebrating the “Strength of a Woman”. The Power of Goddesses, It makes me feel powerful too!
“Isn’t it like life itself? Eventually everything is replaced whether you like it or not. And the ones that can’t be replaced, or leave an empty space there’s no way other that wait for time to fill it up..”
“Life’s like a missed call. It’s the moment that matters. You fail to respond the instant and then its all gone…like a missed opportunity.”
— Sometimes spaces are just there, which remains there forever!! Time changes and so do people, but those voids just remind us of all the moments we had; in one way or other it redefines us and our past, reminds us of that beautiful past, Moments come and go, but the moments we fail to capture are forgotten soon ain’t it?? 
At least I do so, What is gone is gone!! Innit?? 
So how about watching movie togeda at Kumari cinema when I come back there; Will you be (gladly with a friend (if I may say so)??
Oh yeah I remembered! We still have to grab a coffee togeda, innit?? 
Anyways Happy Dashain!! Altho its almost gone!! I had been busy like hell, You can just guess!
Now, don’t be too good a guy and get my hopes too high!! LOL ( just kiddin) ha ha ha But that’s a extremely thoughtful and nice thing to say I guess Thank you .I am smiling from ear to ear and if anyone else catches me doing so they’ll will surely ask ” Laati kina eklai haseko?” ha ha ha hahohohaha
And for the memories, I guess you are right about it too. The voids that remain for ever is scary. Hmmmm I guess I was just trying to run away from that reality ,how stupid of me to think that everything will be replaced, things will only be different ( different good, different bad) anything but not the same. The scar still remains ni hai. And I think to have something worth remembering having “Lived” in the true sense too…( may sound smwht weird but hope u got what I meant)..But a preoccupation would help, just anything to keep oneself engaged. It would be the best thing to happen, like the busy life you seem to be leading. Then I would do some occasional blogging too only when I realize it’s only the memories that remain now
And a Happy Tihar to u in Advance!!
“Dashain, childhood, ways of celebration, preservation of culture, sacrificing animals” it’s what the newspapers are filled with these days. Its Asthami (the Eighth day of the Ten day festival) the media tells me. I haven’t been able to figure out the difference between the first and the eighth and how it differs from other “holidays” either. Had gone to stroll in the New Road cum Basantapur area and I was shocked by the crowd. Everyone knows that the streets are crammed with people shopping for the festival but I was shocked anyways. I was looking at people walking happily carrying multiple plastic bags after their shopping sprees and wondering “Why people shopped?” My sister told me that I had gone insane to ask such a question but I was just unable to comprehend it all. Seriously. Must be because crowds confuse me. It often happens to me when I walk on the dusty roads in Araniko Highway where no pavements exist: there is traffic jams, the vehicles keep honking at everyone and there is too much dust and noise to comprehend anything. Its feels as though I am in another planet where I don’t know how to act!
happened to click on your site.
n received your wishes to me, lol.
Wish u the same!
Keep blogging!!!
I read you after a long time. As usual, good piece. huh
, about Shopping, I wish I can buy some stuffs. It has been many many years that I have not bought anything for me myself on this ocassion or on that. So, from Shopping
perspectives, really does not matter when is dashain and wen z Tihar.
I can just look around and feel pity on myself. I can hardly see anything that I bought in recent 1 and half years. So many jeans but all torn on that back side near foot. (I really wonder how that happens that only back side gets ragged first and all of them!!!, I never felt that in kathmandu 4 years back.)
Though feeling to reshuffle my wardrobe, you know, there is
is a problem u know it! N I think there is more necessity to get cleared of old rags now than ever when I am at the brink of leaving University.
Wish I can do that in this Winter if these big boys pay for my
internship work.
can just wish now n……
Happy Bada Dashain(While saying Bada—I feel something strangely good, must be god’s blessings!!!)
cleared of old rags
hey
wish i was there in ktm!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
“gulp down one or two bottles of Bacardi and forget everything! ” –
“One or two bottles of Bacardi” sounds a little excessive, but amen to that!
- sippin’ Bacardi, like it’s your birthday……
50c
bacardi breezer..
sale first ma ta rakshi ho i wont try bhaneko this tara pachi sabailai jitis haina taile khayera ..
lala estai nai ho suruwaat..
keep the spirit..
u rock
give my love to akash
Tyo Grand Diamond ko 24 th floor ko mahol nai arkai, Ma baburole Bacardi kahan bata resist garna saknu ni!! Je hos 1% alcohol is okay I guess ( 1% ta ho ?). Especially liked that “Rum Refreshner” written on it ani ke saro taato hundo raicha ni gala ta! And I didn’t know that my first sip of alcohol would be so popular as to feature in “50 cents” songs too!! But how come maile sablai jitne, quarter bottle ta khaten, Sampad lai kasari saknu, u ta ke re tyo Wine Cooler and Bacardi turnwise khayera babal psycho jo vathi. Je hos Bangkok ma Bacardi was something! Hamro arko trip kahile re?? ha haha Kaas Naintal jadna Dyammai VISA lagthyo! LOL
And finally someone does something to Dearest Akash. Well honey we didn’t exchange phone numbers or email ids in the conversation, did we? So I can’t convey him any message 
because He DOESN’T EXIST in the first place!! ha haha. The part till I take my seat ( the questions I was asked, the seat no.) everything is true , I was alone too. But no Akash came to say a hello, or offer me coffee! ( tat’s heights of imagination I guess!) I decided to walk back home took the long way Kumari, Kamladi, Old bus park way ( btw its blissful to walk in Ktm during the festivals cause the streets are all so empty). Then in that 2 hour or so walk I created this character in my head. That’s the reason I termed the blog “Time Pass” as that was my way of preoccupying myself in the walk. I think I will give continuity to this Akash and Zahra association for trying my hand in fiction, how about that ? hehehe
The Sixth Edition of Film South Asia 2007 kick started on Oct 11and ended on Oct 15 here in Kumari Cinema, Kathmandu. Though I heard it is the sixth edition it was the first I ever attended. I have vague memories of having heard that the festival took place in Kathmandu whenever that happened. Then “Film festivals” sounded like places I don’t like to go like posh hotels and grand shopping malls. Those were places the elites went to so I thought. But that was earlier this time I was all excited and ready to “Adda Jamaunu” in Kumari from dawn to dusk with my sister. We had it all planned despite the fact that even Rs 30 per documentary would mean wasting more than hundred bucks if we did that. According to her the price should have been Rs 10, according to me it should have been free!! That’s because I am only used to seeing documentaries in Martin Chautari (every Thursday 3 to 5pm) for free with the discussions after that or in college when the Devs Society or Rotaract do the screening. If you just said ” The Nepalese always want a free lunch!” then I heard you! Whatever the case I have my share of questions about the shows….
(More …)
Hey!remembered those gud old days of film festivals on russian cultural centre and gopi krishna and in kumari.Missin those moments.
Regarding your blog
I’ve been reading contineoulsy from last mnth(quiet late)and even thought of writing myself and made a personalized site in blogspot.
Zaded you really rock.
I’ve a blog bout you and wagle dai on my blogspot account
check it if u’ve time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It’s “Eviction” as far as I remember. Rather than a documentary, for me, it was like a news report.
You remember how freaky Shahanara was? Her words still reverberate in my ears.
You remember the pumping heart of the slaughtered ox?
its not the organisers who keep the subtitles. its the filmakers.
wasn’t that you in kumari hall today?
i saw a girl like you.
Yup ! I was there, but I can’t say who you took to be me, cause I was with my sister and we look similar. ( if it was sb like me without specs it was me, with specs my sis). And It was You in the Kumari hall,wasn’t it? I had seen you too. You were busy taking pictures before the “Every Good Marriage Begins with Tears” documentary began.
GREAT photographs….. Keep CONTINUE with others too.
Thanks.
I took you photograph!
YOu the one wiht braces hoina ra? you were talking to a kaale kaale mote ketaa..
err….. errata…
***i took your photograph too…
Lau barbad vayecha teso vaye! I hate to be captured in anyone’s camera!!I hope you don’t put the pic anywhere in the internet . Its my humble request. Yah it must have been me then with braces. The guy’s a friend. There were four of us. You looked “gambhir” and totally engrossed in taking the pictures. But I never noticed you looking at our direction though I was somewhat observing you and had even introduced you to my friends without even talking to you!
The music videos show was good too.There were fewer ppl but it was a great experience.
Very very bueattiful!! Are u done??? now can u please go check out alive and kickin coz ive posted something about u. And do drop into my blog$#%& as well.
Thanks
Bijaya Dasami
if u look carefully, the view between the two cliffs looks like the lower part of a peninsula, maybe the lower end of africa, the way u see it in the world map. the last picture’s great too…..the slight tilt giving it a feeling of watching the sea in a stormy night out of a porthole in a ship (it’s called porthole rt? even if it isn’t u know what i mean).
happy dashain !
Dont worry!
Unfortunately your temple only could be captured….but yes your blue and sky blue t-shirt is quite distinct
And, was that beautiful lady to who you talk for a while in the tiresome crowding ( ) Sujana?
Btw there was another pair of sisters too.
shall i send the photograph? if yes shoot me a mail.
just to make you sure that your face is not captured 
Hey Hayah, chill out dude, I am busy with the mundane working on the entertainment blog too. will put it soon I hope! I will. I like what you have done on ur blog the picture at the top especially. This theme seems to have grown popular ,No?
N dear K, its so nice to hear such detailed observations from you. It looks somewhat similar to what you have said I guess. And for the last pic I wanted to capture the motion of the waves so its kind of blurry there , but its good to know that it looks like what you see from the porthole..I was standing while taking the picture though I had wanted to lie down and take the shot with some photographer style lol, I had found it so funny when my teacher had taught us the way to stand or whatever while taking pics.. Btw in the first one the three leaves that are away from the rest, the two ones at the sides look like small hearts hai. i hadn’t noticed while taking the pics but seeing that now felt good , lovey dovey
What about you putting ur fabulous pics in Picasa or Flickr. That Indian Ocean one is a knockout! The other ones you took while traveling in the boat too, the trees in the water and all.. A happy dashain to you too, I m in no mood of celebration though. doesn’t even feel like dashain. Hope you aren’t feeling that way.
N Manche ji yup I was talking to her, oh you saw that too! And I know the other pair of sisters you are talking about Well, sisters are the only “Bharpardo” sathi to go out with tesaile hola, aruko ta bharosa hunna . It would be good to see my Temple on the pic ha ha ha, Temple and T-shirt only captured is Great News!
Hehehe

But from eveything else, i like the way, u go to theatres alone…….FULL respect to you
Thank you for the respect. ( Hope you know that the happening other than watching the movie alone and walking is fiction )
Inpite of the creativity it resulted in, I suggest you find a friend to go for movies always. Its really boring to be that Respectable 
Its better to be alone when you are alone than experience that “bhid me ve tanhai”thing , hope you are getting it… travelling alone is easier( I hope) loudly thinking of trying it…
