Celebrating Tihar: A Sister Invites Her Brother For Tika
A festival blog: Celebrating Tihar (or Deepawali or Deewali)[Wagle with Thiar Bhai Tika 2005. From that year's Tihar blog]
The live images of Nicholas Sarkozy talking about France-U.S. relations in Washington are coming on CNN as I am eating dal bhat while also talking to a friend. The talk finished, the food finished, the speech is going on. Sarkozy lauds the American ideals, the ticker on the CNN reads. He is also talking about the Atlantic alliance. I am hear him through the English translator. This beautiful girl is smiling and looking at me from my desktop. I wash my hands and brush my teeth. And while I am brushing, my sister comes from downstairs and hands me over flowers: makhmali and sayapatri phool. “Today is kaag tihar [the first day of Tihar the festival of light when the crow is worshipped],” she says. “I am inviting you for Bhai Tika.” I am almost taken aback by the invitation. I mean that was the last thing I had expected for the day. [Tihar is also called Deepawali in Nepali and Deewali in India.] (More …)

Wagle you talk too much! This is too much hain ra? I tell you frankly, I wept after reading your post. Something I remembered, something I missed and something I wish I could roll back.
I love Dipawali. I am gonna rock this tihar with lights.
Happy tihar to you! And you know I clicked on that beautiful lady’s link, I thought that must be your girlfriend because who does not talk to family, talks to girlfriend. hehehehe but really the girl is beautiful.

As I have stated in this post and this post when I started this round of blogging on WSJ, I do write on this site intending to archive myself on the web! That means, in principle, here I don’t write for others unlike what I do in UWB. I write for myself. That, however, doesn’t mean I am ignorant about the fact that this site can be accessed from anywhere in the world from a computer that’s connected to the computer. Entries in the site are picked up by search engines like Google which makes them available to the public in a click. Whenever I write, yes I try to express myself beyond any boundaries but at the same time I consciously keep in mind the possibility of someone at some point reading my writings. But I never write to make people cry even though, as it appears in your case, people might interpret the writings in their own way based on different context. So I really have no comment on that.
For your comment on that little beautiful lady, I must react strongly. The girl is too small to be considered my girlfriend. Come on, she is a sixth grader. She is so sweet, her eyes so beautiful and they are looking at my camera in such a fantastic way that I remember her as my little friend, but not as girlfriend.
But then I do not deny the fact that I met quite a few girls in the trail who were fit enough to be considered GF! And they were all beautiful and attractive!! Oh… I miss ‘em al!!! I will probably go there again!!!!

Ahh,okay. Got it now. Yea, I used to put my girlfriend’s photo on desktop until a moment before she married to, well you know to whom, Abhishek Bachhan some months ago
Then I, well I didn’t delete the photo, put that in my My Documents folder

Personal blog has some different meaning more than your usual news blog UWB.
But here is an open space for reader to comment. If u don’t block the comments , then it flows like water around the corner of your blog world.
I have 2 suggestion on you….( think personnel too )
1. Immediate marry with Someone following tradition like Bhaitika ( No other option till yet ) then someone who recognizes you confidently.
2. After finishing point no. 1, You will definitely forget Instant messages/memory cards and will jump out from digital world . ( Just guessing only ).
( sorry if anything wrong in ur personal blog, if wrong don’t publish it …there is full authority to delete it from your mouse-hand)
Thanks.

I have been approving comments that I ‘like’ or feel like approving!!
Thanks for the suggestion about marriage which is currently not in the card. But you never know when that’s going to change. So how volunteering to find a kali kali hissi pareki, dohoro jyu daal ki, 32 lakshyan le yukta yubati in Langtang region. I am planning to go there next spring.
………..
BTW, read your article in Kantipur on Jhamak which was nice.

Reality Bites, I agree with you. Wagle needs someone, may be he has, hiding for time being. I think he is planning to give us surprise. He is a digital man, so first blog lady (americama presidentko wifelai first lady bhanchha kyar!) must be digital girl. right ?
ani Wagle, tyo 32 lakshanma digital camera chalauna janne, computer chalauna janne, NY times padhne, parchha ki bhat pakauna janne, luga dhoidina janne, sasu saruralai rijhaune parchha?
ani aafuma chahi kati guna chha? aajakalka ketile ta sodhchhan ni
