To my Bride-To-Be Best Friend



I cannot believe the day is already here! I am ecstatic! You have waited so long for this day; we have waited so long for this day! It’s crazy, how we used to talk so much about this day happening, about finding the one, about how the day would be and now when it finally is, I just wow……it’s just a lot of emotions mixed up! Where do I even start?

I cannot wait to see you in that beautiful bridal attire, you’d look so beautiful. I will take so many pictures of you that my gallery will be full of you, just like it always is. I’ll be one of the happiest on that day, I swear, except your significant other of course. *wink* *wink*. I’ll run around doing errands for you, because it’s your day, you’re the queen, you deserve it! I’ll be the one dancing around in my own stupid way. I’ll be the one helping your family in any way I can, because it’s my family too. And at the end of the day, when you actually leave, I’ll be the one silently crying alone.

Wow, that got real so fast, didn’t it? I am just so happy for you! I really am, there is no denying of that. If there were any way I could tear open my heart and show you just how much love and pride I have for you, and how much you mean to me, I honestly would. Believe me. You two look so good together, and he’s going to make your life so much better. But there is also the bitter truth that I am just going to miss you so so much!

I can see that this step is going to bring so much drastic changes in your life. I know that now, I cannot call you anytime I want. I cannot just barge into your house and lay off in your room. I cannot just drag you out of bed in the early hours of the morning to go riding around the valley. I cannot just pick you up after work in the dusk hours to go paint the town. I cannot just call you up for coffee and spend hours talking and laughing so long, that it’s almost time to close. I cannot just drop by your home and borrow that dress of yours that I’ve always wanted to. Because now, you have another family to take care of, a significant other who needs you, you will have other responsibilities. Of course, we’ll make time for each other, I know we will, I know you will. I expect you to. Hehe. I expect long telephone conversations and meetups every now and then.

I’m sorry if I sound possessive at this point, you know I can be sometimes, when it comes to you. But now, you’re going to have someone to share your life with; your better half! Wow! I might just have to compete with him, to see who loves you more. But this is one competition that I really hope that I lose. I’d love to lose because that means you would win. And he is one lucky guy because he’s got the best girl in the world.

May you get all the happiness, may you both be blessed, and as cliché as it sounds may you get your “and they lived happily ever after!”

I love you so much!

Love,
Upps

Rajamati

I think we’ve all heard the song of Rajamati growing up. It is so popular that many people in Nepal claim this is the only Newari song that they have heard. The song was written some 200 years back. The first few lines go like this, which I’m sure you must have heard of, unless you’ve been living under a rock: Rājamati kumati, jike wasā pirati Hāya bābā Rājamati-chā Rājamati mabila dhāsā Kāshi wane tela bubā Hayā biu Rājamati-chā. San dhāsā kuli kuli, mikhā dhāsā bālā bālā Sakumi yā mhyāy machā lā Khwā dhāsā tuyu khwā, khwālay niga tee du Tāhā Nani yā Rājamati-chā. It is said to be written by or rather from the perspective of a man who was infatuated and in awe of the beauty of Rajamati. He describes with great admiration: her hair, her eyes, her complexion and the little moles on her face. However it is unknown who the writer of this beautiful song is. The song rushed into popularity after it was played in England in 1850 when Prime Minister Jung Bahadur Rana vi...

Everyday Phases by my Mother part 2

  I have been meaning to write this part 2, especially after Every Day Phrases by my Mother , the first part was liked by so many and also because, well, the phrases and the dialogues never end with my mother. I did tease her about writing a book or making a scrapbook about all her phrases, but we never got around to it. So here we are, after almost 4 years, apologies if the Nepal bhasa wordings are incorrect somewhere Ne tha ne masau Bhwauthau pwa This is basically saying, not being able to take advantage of the situation or not doing what you are supposed to do at the event. If you get invited somewhere that has food, you should eat there. Neu twanyu tha yu yethe, jui chwanyu kata pinyu yethe I have heard this one many times. In the society that we live in, impression and your social image matters a lot, especially when it comes to family prestige. So it does not matter what you do at home but once you step outside, there is this social obligation of dressing appropriately, behav...

The Oldest Kumari

Dhana Kumari Bajracharya resides amidst the hustle and bustle in Gabahal, Patan. She is a 70 year old woman, who you would think is much younger at age, if you look at her. Age seems to have done justice to this beautiful woman. What makes this wise old woman different than other wise old women in Patan? She is the oldest Kumari of Patan. Kumari, the living goddess is a tradition or a practice that has been around for many years and that has been celebrated widely in the Kathmandu Valley. The very first Kumari goes back to 17 th Century. The process to choose the Kumari is divine and a girl must go through several tests to get chosen as the Kumari. Dhana Kumari Bajracharya is the longest serving Kumari of Patan having been established as the Kumari from 2010 B.S to 2042 B.S. A whooping 32 years. Perhaps her case is the most rare that we might come across. A girl serves as a Kumari until she reaches puberty, or she has her first menstruation. After that, it is believed that th...
