Angry Lord Ganesha

Last entry suddenly escalated into pornography, so this time I will try to put something bland. Is there anything worth writing about? Nope. Pretty bland, that’s my life. To get out of this monotony, I said, let’s run, since summer is in. I invested a fortune on my new pair of running shoes, that would be my month’s salary in ole’ Kathmandu after I finished my Engineering. Talk about white color servitudes in Nepal, I worked for the premium Software House in Nepal. God! Life is cheap out there, so the services. Bastards. All the proprietors had SUVs, while I had to tussle with women with young children and 60 years old grandma to get a seat in ‘Vikram Tempo’ to get to my work in time. In many occasions, I have tossed these geriatrics and even pregnant women without any compunction while fighting for that coveted seat in ‘Vikram Tempo,’ I wonder if those three wheelers are still running. It’s a jungle out there. After securing a seat, I always wanted to beat my chest like gorilla, who’s the man, who’s the man? Who’s your daddy, who’s your daddy? I found, that three wheeler ride is anything but, boring. Six people in that cramped space, reveals more than you expect to see or care to know, that you could see the layers of make up foundations on women face to hide all those zits and age. For men, you could see few missed out stubbles of facial hair that he missed while shaving, all those lines formed on his face due to the perpetual nagging of wife. Call it Murphy’s Law, I always got caught between two fat women, while opposite seats are always taken by thinnest possible people. Young girls, always conscious about their look, and fiddling with their lock of hair hundredth time, while trying to cover their cleavage with their hand bags. Old lechers, always ogling at those young girls’ sprouting boobs. Bastards. Sexually repressed Nepali men. I had my ass groped in public bus once, he was an old guy, I leaned to him and whispered in his ear, ‘did you intend to grab my ass, or was it a mistake?’ He smiles and says, ‘Mistake, bhai, mistake.’ I say, fine carry on, but not my ass old man, if you care to have rest of your denture intact. Probably, that might be his only entertainment left in life. I thought, why call for a public attention and have him beaten to death in public for grabbing a wrong ass. I have seen pick-pocket getting beaten up by 30 people or more. All those Judo and Karate chops these Nepali men learnt in their puberty, suddenly have urge to try on that poor soul, and beat the shit out of the guy, even though, the stolen wallet doesn’t belong to you, or don’t know a guy to whom it belongs to. Kind of a public service—a Good Samaritan. Sometime, you don’t even know why the public is beating the shit out of someone; you just jump into the crowd with a flying kick like Jet Li or in Matrix movie, nonetheless. I guess, it’s boredom and monotony of life, any chaos is welcomed, and such public spectacles are more than welcome, where you get to practice your Karate chops. Another good example would be, village elders and young ones making a hullabaloo while they see a dogs caught up in their sexual act. Kick them, jump on them, throw stones—it’s the curse of the DOGS that Nepali men are sexually repressed. And, there are these body builder types, in Rupa Ganzi, in three wheleers, they sit with their chest puffed out in that congested space, we get it, your chest is as big as Mt. Everst, now breathe in, and let others sit comfortably. They usually do that when opposite seat is taken by a young female. And there is another type, sweating profusely. Sweat form their arm pits run like Bagmati river. You always wish you had a rain coat. There is something wrong with Nepali women, after marriage and a few kids; they completely shed their inhibition and coyness. They don’t care anymore; they throw their weights carelessly in those constricted places like in public transports. You find their thighs on your lap and their gigantic mammary rubbing all over your face almost smothering you to death, at times, you wish, you had snorkeling gears to breathe safely. And, they always wonder (fat wives), why do their husbands visit whore houses? If you groom yourself, keep yourself appealing, take care of yourself, maintain your weight, may be husbands will stop running to different ponds to quench their thirst. But, what can you say about men, they are pigs after all, even the Lord Indra had to disguise as someone else to sleep with someone else’s wife, he could’ve fucked any of those Apsaras in heaven. Where was Urbashi? On menstrual periods. That’s why Islam is a more rational religion, you are promised 72 virgins in heaven, that way, you never have to come down to fuck someone else’s wife. What a fine example of religious scripts. By the way did Lord Ganesh ever got married? I wonder why no Hindu women keep fast to get a husband like Ganesh? Fucking vanity. Poor guy only gets remembered when someone starts a business, or at the beginning of the fiscal year, and even gets thrown into the river (if you are familiar with the Ganapati festivals in India). If I were him, I would have been mighty angry. No chicks dig you and they occasionally throw you in the river, and you are fat, and you have a trunk, when dad gets to smoke pot, you still drink milk. Pretty depressing huh? Oh! Misery doesn’t stop there, his (for the lack of an English word) choice of vehicle is a fucking RAT, while everyone else gets, cool creatures like dragon, tiger, lion, buffalo etc. etc. Wow, what a digress. Ok! I have been running regularly after I bought my new pair of shoes; need to shed few pounds over the summer, before my would be wife runs with someone else. I need to preen myself, don’t want to be Ganesh while she prayed for Shiva.

Ramballing as in Rambling

What’s with British people and Zombies? Fucking, wasted my $9 over that shit movie—28 Weeks Later. Worse, I still have that bad taste lingering in my head, senseless gore and graphics. Looks like the sun has entirely set on the
British Empire, the best they could do is Monty Python or hordes of Zombie movies. But have to give them one thing—music, they still have a better sense than Americans. The other day I was watching TV, and pbs had ‘

Faulty
Tower’ running, if you remember the British serial, Nepal TV used to run those on Saturdays. It was pretty funny, but ugly people. Sorry, Queen. Beside, Elizabeth Hurley, everyone there seems to be characters out of Charles Dickens novels. Eh! Enough of dishing English people, just because they make bad movies.  Last week was the movie week for me; I watched all the movies running on TV. Watched Lord of The Rings for 81st times, Matrix for 145th times, The Chronicles of Riddick 28th times, Scent of a Women for 30th times and Dead Poet’s Society for 25th times, well, you got my point. So, this week, I have made a contract with my flat mates, that if they catch me watching TV for more than 30 minutes in one sitting, I will scrub the toilet bowls. That has kept me away from TV for at least last two days. Remarkable feats need remarkable determination.  Nothing interesting happening in my life, very bland. The major event could be–my passport expired, had to make a new one. Downloaded an application form from the Nepali Embassy in the
US. Their site has been under construction over one year, probably they are also waiting for the CA election, back home to fix it.  The queries in the forms are very ridiculous. Color of my hair, eyes, my complexion etc. etc. full of irrelevant information. 99% of Nepalis’ hair color would be black, with a few exceptions of albino, and eye color brown. If these characteristics are so prevalent, why have it there? What’s the purpose? I was baffled, when I had to fill in my complexion. What am I by Nepali standard? In my previous passport, I had, Olive. What would be the people of Taria? Oliver, Olivest? I presume, they go by dark—light dark, kharani dark or charcoal dark.  

I believe; the whole idea of this information is to identify, which population demography you fall into, not certainly for lost and found. A description like this wouldn’t help: A gentleman with black hair, brown eyes, olive skin, and of height 5 feet 2 inches, lost his passport in Ward No. 4, please, return if found. That would fit for all the Pahadis men. Fucking idiots of coveted Foreign Services, haven’t they heard of the word called ETHNICITY?  That single query would have sufficed.  And, the most amusing one was: Any peculiarities? With a big box to fill in, I was very tempted to fill in these, but I didn’t, since I needed to get my passport back.My peculiarities, not necessarily in order:

  1. I hate Vyantak ko tarakari.
  2. I get bad dreams when I am constipated.
  3. I would want my girl friend to wear edible undergarments, possibly sprinkled with vanilla.
  4. I can fart and sneeze at the same time.
  5. And many more…

Surprisingly, I got my passport back in two weeks, as stipulated. For another ten years, I don’t have to answer these questions. So happy.
