Siju

Many many years ago I used to live on 46th street, take 7 train to get to work at a cafe/restaurant, then called the Big Apple Restaurant, must have been 38th or some street. I lasted there 2 weeks. Then found another job at a liquor store on 44 street, on south side of 7 line, owned by 2 Israelis. One of them knew a few Nepali army officials from his days as an army instructor in Nepal (must have been in the 60's or 70's). The incentive there were free booze (2 miniatures per day, authorized), besides whatever I could sneak out, which must have added to quite a lot over time.

Very soon I will be in a similar situation as you are in. Different city, different context, but the emotions, issues, worries are just as same. You give me some hope to cope with it.

Glad to see you back on your life and college after the demise of your grandfather.

सिजु जी,
जिन्दगी को यथार्थ प्रस्तुती भनुं या प्रबासी जीवन को स्तुती। जे भने नि मार्मिक छ। अर्को भागअको प्रतिक्षामा।

Siju, afnai katha sunya jastai lagyo..I feel bad for kids here..bichara haru ko kasto jindagi hagi?

Gyanguru Ji,

If I happen to be a computer expert, I will made a device which can control human emotions. At least, record them. Unfortunately, I am not. Thank You for understanding. Friends like you who never see me , yet has his/her own imagination. I really like that.

Axara Ji,

Sabai lai bichar garda , add ra substract garda, multiply ra divide garda answer "negetive" aayo. Thank you for the comment

Rahulvai Ji,

Its all your inspiration. Seriously , I never wrote the real life situation B4. After reading Pitaji ko takma, Anuradha and Kabita and Sabita, I think e should write what we feel, not feel the way that we wrote.

Sndy Ji,

I know, my childhood is the finest memory I ever have. I always fight with my Aama that she worked " Aama , Preeti ko mam ikailen ijandaina ni office , hajur kina jane bhaya, aja office gaisyo bhane ma kaileni boldina hajur sanga" I remember when she took me with her in he night duty as I shout so much and neighbor came into my house. That was a funny story. I feel sorry for my baby, yet , whatever i am doing now is for him .I want to graduate and work part time before He will start his school. "HOPE FOR THE BEST" Thank You for the comment.
