Had always heard and actually been prompted time and again in the movies or ads that there are things money cant buy! Well i was very fortunate to have a similar experience which is priceless. Well being among own people after 4 years sure felt good but what really was priceless was that we had had our dinner at my didi's(Babita raypa) place in delhi and then sat down talking. It was my cousins and jiju and puni and my sis who is gettin married (kavita di). Being the youngest member of the family my little kid bhaanja (swapnil) was lured into dancing. Mann he started with this nepali song which was followed by some bollywood songs. I was at awe seeing the little kid dance so well and he twisted his hip in such funny ways eveyone in the room burst into laughter. We laughed till my stomach ached and i was actually looking at my sisters and old puni and cousins all soooo happy and full of joy i literally had tears in my eyes. Couldnt contain them so actually felt khushi ke aanshu. We sure missed ambu da. But yeah i would give up anything for such kinda PRICELESS moments.

Well traditions are very important and we are responsible to preserve them. Its true that some traditions change with time for good i.e barbaric wedding style , sati etc. It sure is very painful to see those pictures but we gotta keep it documented somewhere; so that we can refer to it later or our grandchildren would see how yesteryears were even though it maybe barberic. Arguments and debates are healthy but when it becomes personal its bad for all. So i would like to propose two solutions i could think of - SOLUTION 1: - 1) Keep the pictures in a seperate folder with appropriate heading - it should not be seen in the last up-loads section - comments on it should remain in that folder - everything regarding to it should be contained in that folder OR if ya still think its too offensive SOLUTION 2 : - 2) I will personally make elaborated and detailed sketches of rituals like mala sam and other rituals of the same nature. - if u all dont trust my artistic capabilities Rungmung can hire a professional artist - am not even kidding here dead serious!

I really don’t know how to start this one! I don’t know if we have any rules stating that such and such is a right age when you can like someone. Well this kid Rakesh was in class 1 in Steiner Memorial School and his angel was a class senior to him. I am not sure about the source of his feelings. Now as I think bout it I wonder weather the source of kid’s feeling was the girl herself or the bollywood movies. But what I can say is that it was all mushy and very innocent. I remember the kid watched a movie named “ Sanam Bewafa” and he used to compare the actress with his angel hahhaahaha. As a kid one or two things Rakesh knew about love was that guy has to be older than girl. So one fine day he went up to her and asked her, her age. Her reply broke kid’s heart. (most innocent moment of my life )She was bout 6 months older . Well this little Rakesh kid was so in love that he made himself believe that she must be not sure bout her age. He used to find the slightest excuses to talk to her and believe me he clapped the hardest when she got a prize. Well the kid changed his school and never told her bout all this, infact didn’t see her for 12 yrs after that. Now Rakesh the nomore kid is here writing this blog and is sure that she still has no clue. Don’t remember my first day in school but this is the best memory of my Steiner Memorial School which amuses me a lot coz I was in class ONE then.. And yeah what happened in class ONE stayed in class One.
