Dear ~~~~,

The clean and clear sky. The whitest Machhapuchhre standing straight as if it is trying to pierce cloudless sky. The chirping of birds. The quivering pink and red roses. The roaring Seti River. The crystal clear day. The season of Dashain. I like the season because of Dashain or I like Dashain because of this season. It is very difficult to say!!!!!!!People attired in new dress with their leisure times wandering here and there.This Dashain indeed came with the glimpse of hope, peace and compassion throughout the nation. This year’s Dashain remained special in many cases because democracy has been restored and people from all walks of life seemed to be flocking to villages without fear. In my village the number of youth increased this time. Especially Lahures and those who were living outside the country came to join their families with cheerful faces. Police and armies of own land had to be away and it was hard and almost impossible for them to go back to their villages yesteryears but in this Dashain, I found remarkable number of police and armies to receive blessings from elders and share some moments together with their family and friends.One of my woman villagers seemed to be happier than anyone this time. Her son is in army and she was leading a lonely some life for her husband had deserted her some years ago. But relying completely on only son who joined Nepal Army some years ago, she was living in the desperate world. She was filled with great fear, grief and misery of the probable loss of him in battle. But this time, she got him in Dashain. Due to peace in country, it was boundless happiness that the Dashain brought in her and her family.In village, one could see kids and youth having gala time on Linge Ping. Some adults seemed to be enjoying beers and drinks in chowks and pubs.This Dashain is something special not only because of peace restored in country but also it came breaking with the two centuries old tradition. King Gyandra kept away from Phoolpati Badai ceremony. In the past, he used to attend ceremony to observe special performance by the army, receive the salute and confer the king’s baton on a special battalion of the army.In my home, as you know, brother Amar was having Dashain time after about four years of his foreign stay. He seemed to be quite cheerful and visiting all the relatives along with his beloved wife.But beside this, something was lacking in me. I was desperately waiting your call during Dashain. I was in great expectation to get your call at least but I couldn’t. And I conjure up that it was due to network busy. I am sure that you tried a lot but you couldn’t be able to link us through call. Anyway, I hope you might have enjoyed a lot with your friends over there. With Love

Can you break this email into several paragraphs? Space is free, this is not a newspaper add where you have to pay for every character used.

Okey! Here is the best dashain greeting email I got this year. It's from a friend of mine who went back to nepal just couple of months ago after staying here in US for 4-5 years. Here it goes...

Hey ya all,

So finally I am HOME after a long time. It's freking sheet hole. And the fakking Dashain and Tihar is here. So WOOOO HOOOOO!! Just wanna burn down the whole dyamm country with Tihar's fireworks and lights. If only I could be like Hitler. The fakking Nepalese people are DYAMm rude. Yes including me. I am one of THEM.

Anyhow, I hope you all Nepalese who are aboard and not wanting to come back (don't blame ya but at the same time don't pretend that you love your country cause if you did you would be here not there) a happy Dashain and tihar.
