President’s Message

Dear friends,

Namaskar and Happy New Year 2013!

It has been full year since I and my fellow executive officers took the of-fice to serve you and our great organi-zation Nepal Center of North Carolina, Inc. (NCNC). As we conclude the first year of our tenure, I feel extremely for-tunate, honored, and humbled to greet you all and have yet another oppor-tunity to express my sincere gratitude and heart¬felt thanks to you who have made great contribution to add another page in the history NCNC. Now that the 2012 is behind us, I look back and mar-vel at all the accomplishments we have achieved. I believe, we have turned the corner and with such a history of all our accomplishments, perhaps we could also start thinking on ambitious goal of building a community center here in North Carolina.

To start our first year, I wanted to look

back our journey from day one of our tenure. Our journey was a wonderful mixture of all kind of hurdles and chal-lenges as happens when an organiza-

tion gets bigger and bolder. When I look back from the enormity of the tasks, I re-alize that each and every issue, the hus-tle and bustle that we faced throughout the year, were an opportunity to learn and lead the community in the difficul-ties which have paved way to the top of the ladder of this mature community organization. My definition of mature community organization is the place where everyone pulls together to over-come obstacles and challenges to meet and exceed its common objectives. A mature organization is the one that thrives in chaos, finds a way to succeed in difficulties, and still remains humble enough to recognize that the next hur-dle is right around the corner. I think we have developed NCNC into such a ma-ture organization with solid foundation and we are now positioned to do many more great things.

We feel that we have made great strides in 2012. This year was indeed a very inspiring year for us. We had a huge turnout in each and every event that we organized. And, I thank you all hard working volunteers, NCNC executive

The Exemplary Partners in Community Service — NCNC and NASeA

Sanjeeb Sapkota

Ever since Nepali Center in North Carolina (NCNC) was established in 1999, Nepalese Association in Southeast America (NASeA) has been her unique partner in almost every area of community service. Empowerment of community members including children and women, organizing annual convention, promoting sports, promoting cultural activities and more recently blood drive.

NASeA who was established some 8 years prior to NCNC in 1991 and who has been serving the needs of both nationwide Nepali community in the United States as well as in its southeast region is committed to bringing together Nepali organizations in differ-ent states, cities and universities across the country as partners through a forum or a network. For this purpose, NASeA has been counting heavily on NCNC for examples of best practices, lessons learned and success stories to share among the organizations in partners with. Empowering children through Ne-pali School in North Carolina, promoting Nepali lan-guage and culture through its publication Sangalo, having a rented functioning office for the organiza-tion, collaboration with NASeA in its annual conven-tion and more recently the benefitting programs like discounted grocery shopping for Nepali community, online radio, statewide sports activity, adopt a high-way program, sister cities in the United States and in Nepal are outstanding achievements of NCNC that could well be shared to other partners of NASeA for their duplication in different states.

The leaders of NCNC who have helped reinforce NASeA-NCNC partnership over the span of a decade through community oriented programs and proj-ects include Ishwor Devekota, Dr. Narayan Raj Rajb-handari, Nagendra Neupane, Shailendra Devkota, Manoj Pradhan, Arun Dhital, Madhav Bhattrai, Bas-anta Khadka, Dr. Shusama Pradhan, Annupurna Deo,

Shyam Aryal , Madhav Dhakal, Narayan Khadka, Dipendra Lamichanne, Kishan Upadhya-ya, and many others who I have not mentioned. NASeA and its community service committee chaired by Dr. Lila Bdr Karki re-cently recognized NCNC presi-dent Shailendra Devkota with the ‘NASeA emerging leader award’ for several groundbreaking reforms in NCNC in a short span of time.

Every two months, external relations committee within NASeA connects via conference call the Nepali organizations in different cities, states and universities across the United States, particularly in the Southeast US, where NCNC has played a major role in sharing its best practices, success stories and lesson learned to others. NCNC has contributed significantly in realizing the rue purpose of this network. Bimal Nepal, the chair-person of the NASeA committee of External relations joins me in thanking NCNC for its contributions in the network and look forward to her continued contribu-tion.

NASeA wishes the best to NCNC to emerge as a strong statewide organization in North Carolina that partners and collaborates with numerous city and university based organizations within the state includ-ing in Ashville, Charlotte, Triad region, Duke, NC state among other. The lessons that NCNC learn in such evolution would be exemplary to other state based organization in the forum of organizations that NASeA convenes. www.naseaonline.org

An Outsider

Aastha Ghimire

I remember distinctly the time that I felt like an out-sider, a different species, an alien. I was nine years old in the fourth grade in Starkville, Mississippi. My fam-ily and I had just moved to America a month before my school started. I didn’t even have time to get ac-customed to the way Americans lived, ate, talked and most importantly made new friends.

After my dad dropped me off at my school, I walked nervously as I tried to remember where my class was meeting on the first day. My teacher, Mrs. Wofford, had told me when my parents and I had at-tended open-house a day before. But since I didn’t really grasp English back then, I had just pretended to understand and nod my head. After a minute or so of looking around, I spotted my teacher; a tall, pretty, white, blonde lady. When she spotted me, she waved her hands and motioned me to come over to the line that was forming behind her. I suspected those kids lined up behind her were my classmates, whom I was going to be close to, for a year. When I got in line, ev-eryone’s head turned back to glimpse at the new kid, who looked confused, scared and had a different skin tone than everybody else in the line, who had white and fair skin. My teacher walked back and gave me a huge hug and smile. She told me she had forgotten how to pronounce my name and asked me to tell her once more. After the fifth try or so, she had somewhat pronounced my name correctly. She said, “Did I say it right?” She looked like a kid who was anticipating to hear their parents say they accomplished the task successfully. I didn’t want to disappoint her there-fore; I lied and told her she said my name perfectly. She was very much excited; for what reasons I didn’t know. I didn’t understand why it was such a big deal; after all, my name isn’t that hard to pronounce, it is a very common name in my home country, Nepal.

When I saw the classroom, I was amazed to see how organized and decorative it was. On each of the desks, there were name cards. I saw my name card on the desk that was closest to Mrs. Wofford’s desk. I remem-ber letting out a sigh of relief because being close

to the teacher’s desk meant the no one would have a chance to ask me questions or laugh at my English. I walked quickly to my desk and waited patiently for the rest of the class to settle. The name card on the desk next to mine had the name “Abigail” on it. I wasn’t familiar yet with American names, therefore I didn’t know if the name belonged to a girl or a guy. When everybody was done finding their seat, a white girl with curly hair and glasses appeared at the door. Mrs. Wofford said, “Hi Abigail, your seat is next to her”, and she pointed at me. The girl smiled and walked very fast to the desk next to mine. I could tell she was a very shy person, and did not like to seek attention like myself. After everybody was there, Mrs. Wofford, made all of us introduce ourselves to the class. All my class-mates said their names proudly and eagerly. When my turn came, I stood up shakily and spoke quietly, so no one could hear my accent. Later in the afternoon, the teacher told us that our first assignment was to get in groups of two and write about what we did over the summer, and later present it to the class. I wasn’t very thrilled about this assignment. When everyone got into groups of two, Abigail and I were the only ones left, so we decided to get in a group together. She started writing down what she did over the summer and asked me what I did. I was a little hesitant at first because I was afraid that she wouldn’t understand my English and make fun of me. But when I told her that I spent my summer moving to and settling in America, she wrote down what I said without asking me to re-peat. I was very happy that someone finally under-stood me. It felt really good, and my fear of being out casted was gone. When we were done writing, we had to present it to the class. Abigail suggested that I do the presentation since she wrote. I was a little diffident but my confidence was boosted because Abigail un-derstood my English. My voice shook as I read what we had written on the paper. In front of me, I could see the confused looks of my classmates. Sensing this, Abigail grabbed the paper from me politely and continued to


read as if nothing had happened. I was beginning to think that Abigail and I would become best of friends, because she was the only one who really tried to un-derstand me and saved me from embarrassments. Over the next few weeks, we started getting close and indeed became best friends. I felt like whenever she was with me, no one could make fun of me or ask me questions about my culture, religion, or family. It wasn’t that I minded answering those questions, but it just got annoying at times when I had to repeat it five times. One day Mrs. Wofford suggested that I give a presentation of Nepal and maybe even make a dish to share with the class. At first, I was a little reluctant but I decided to go for it. I thought that the presen-tation would help break the awkwardness between the class and me. I made a power point presentation about Nepal’s location, culture, religion, and I talked about my family and friends. I was very surprised at how my classmates were very respectful and they seemed interested at my presentation. I was starting to think that maybe they weren’t that rude after all and I could be part of their “group”. After the presen-tation, I served them chicken and curry, which is a tra-ditional Nepali dish. Everyone enjoyed the food, and now looking back, I can say for sure that food brings people closer and helps break the awkwardness. After that day, instead of treating me line an outsider, my classmates treated me like their friend and I enjoyed going to school from then on. My classmates helped me by telling me how to pronounce English words,

and they were really patient and helpful when it came to my English skills. In return, I helped some of them with math, and taught them more about my culture. As the school year went on, I made lots of close friends, learned to speak English better and most importantly learned to get accustomed to the “American” life. Be-fore then, I wasn’t really enjoying going to school be-cause I always felt like I didn’t belong and I longed to be with my friends in my homeland.

That experience has allowed me to make lifelong friends that I still keep in touch with to this day. I will never forget that experience and I know for a fact that they haven’t forgotten either. My friend, Abigail, has done numerous history projects about Nepal, and has included my story in her presentations. My life motto is “everything happens for a reason” and I believe that I had to experience this situation in order to learn how to overcome obstacles that at first seem unattainable but later turn out to be a life changing experience.

My experience of being out casted at first, then be-ing accepted into a “group” has taught me that no matter where one is from, what one looks like or what one believes in, there will always be something that connects them with the rest of the world that is com-pletely opposite.

QUEST FOR GOD JULIUS

Ayushma Sharma

It was March 20th 2011; the Jacob family was snug-gled up in the couch watching a movie about all dif-ferent types of gods. The oldest Jordan Jacob was a thirteen years old with blond silky hair that comes up to his forehead, blue eyes and a small nose. Jenny Jacob was ten. She had very straight short blond hair that she clipped, she always wore her favorite sapphire earrings, and she had hazel eyes and pink cheeks. The youngest of the Jacob’s, Josh Jacob was very short for his age, he had brown hair a very big nose for his age and kiddy tattoos all around his body. He also always wore the same pair of his favorite shoes, his Thomas light up sneakers. All of these kids lived with just their mom Janelle Jacob. She was very tall with brown hair and red highlights. She always wore heels and she never took off her jacket.

The whole family had just finished the movie and was ready to go to sleep. The mom tucked all 3 of them up and then told the littlest one a story. As she was about to leave the room, the biggest asked the mom a question that kept her starring straight ahead and soon brought tears in her eyes. The old-est asked her where their dad is. The mom told the oldest about his dad. She said “you were six when your dad went away. He left the day your youngest brother was born.” After she said that Jordan asked but where is he mom, where? His mom Janelle took a deep breath and said he is in the sky. Jordan gasped and said is he dead?? How and why did you never tell me? Jordan was very mad and was just screaming words out. Because it was so loud the other two woke up. Jenny asked what happened. The mom said noth-ing and told them to go to sleep. But Jordan shouted dad is dead and mom never told us! Janelle said no! That’s not what I meant. She brought the kids to the living room and said your dad is a god. He is god of all weather. The kids could not believe it. They were quiet for about five minutes and then the smallest one said so does that mean we all are gods too? The mom took a deep breath and said you are not a god yet Josh but Jenny and Jordan are. Josh started crying and saying why mommy but I want to be a god to. Janelle explained that you turn god only once you are

10 years old. That got Josh to be quiet. Josh said so that means that I will only be a god in 3 years? Janelle explained that if you are 10 in real life that in god years you are 12 and if you are 13 then in god years you are 15. Janelle said so Josh you will become a god in one god year. Josh was satisfied with the fact that he would be god in one god year.

The next day all of the kids woke up. They were on vacation from school so they did not have to go. At breakfast, Jordan told everyone that he was so curious about gods that he dreamed about his father. Then he became quiet, and soon he asked his mom is it true that gods dream about stuff that will happen or that is happening? Janelle sighed and said you are not supposed to know this yet, but since you asked me I have to tell you because you are so interested. Yes it is true whatever you or Jenny or any other god dreams about will be true or it is already happening. All of a sudden a huge smile grew on Jenny’s face. Janelle said Jenny, what did you dream about? Jenny happily said I dreamed about Justin Bieber coming to our house to give me a hug! Janelle sighed and said your dreams about Justin Bieber. Janelle then asked Josh what he dreamed about and Josh said nothing. The rest of the day the family made preparations for Justin Bieber’s arrival. Next morning, Jenny had a dream at 5am and she woke every one up. First she went to Josh’s room then to Janelle’s. They both woke up in a bad mood. But when Jenny went to wake Jordan up he wasn’t there. Jenny screamed that Jordan was not there and looked all over the house but no sight of Jordan. Jen-ny was so worried that she started crying. Soon Josh started crying too because Jenny was crying so hard. Janelle couldn’t stand her kids crying so she put on her coat and went to look for Jordan in the rain. When she came back there was no sign of Jordan and Josh was about ready to call 911. Janelle quickly stopped him before he could press enter. Janelle said if you call 911, the people will soon find out about us being gods


and they will probably capture us. At that point Josh said OK and Jenny was getting her self back together.

That afternoon after lunch Janelle told the kids to take a nap and dream, so may be they can get a clue about where Jordan is. The mom woke them up after an hour and asked them what they dreamed about. But they said nothing. The rest of the day was nor-mal. they ate dinner, watched TV and soon went to sleep. The next morning, when they woke up, Jen-ny screamed mooomm…. I know where Jordan is! Janelle quickly said where! Jenny said I had a dream and in that dream Jordan was on an airplane flying to India. He had also said he is going to camp god crib. And right before I woke up, he had mentioned that dad is in danger. Jenny screamed mom take me to camp god crib please mom please. We can just stay for a day but please take me there. Janelle explained that Josh and she are not allowed there because they aren’t gods. But she said that if Jenny really wanted to go she would have to wait until Josh’s birthday. Jenny wined and said but mom his birthday is not in another 2 days. Her mom said Jenny you and him are going together. Jenny said fine.

The next 2 days passed as any other normal day.

On Josh’s birthday every one packed their things and left to India. They got on an airplane and flew right over. The mom took them to camp god crib, it was located in Mumbai, India. The first gods of the world had dug a hole in the middle of Mumbai. Only gods and their kids, once they are old enough are allowed. Janelle said well this is it me as a non god cannot go further. Jenny please take care of your brother and best of luck with finding Jordan.Janelle soon had tears in her eyes but got in the car and left. Jenny held Josh’s hand and said lets go in buddy. As soon as they walked in, they saw millions of half gods training for missions. They looked all over for Jordan and finally found him next to a tall man who was wearing a suit and a shirt with all of god powers. As soon as Jenny saw Jordan she ran up to him and screamed Jordan!!! I never thought I would see you again. Are you ok?? Jordan hugged Jenny and said yea little sister I am fine. What are you doing here? And Josh, you’re final-ly a god! Josh nodded and Jenny said I saw a dream and you were in it. What is wrong with dad? Is he ok? Jordan was about to say something but the tall man stepped up and introduced himself. He said his name was Grelent and he has been running the camp since 1121. Jenny and Josh both shook their hands and said nice to meet you sir. Again, Jordan was trying to talk but then once again Grelent stopped him and said Jordan let me explain this to them. Grelent said

Jenny and Josh, your dad has been missing since last 4 days. Jordan has used his strengths and has figured out where he is. Jenny said where, where is my dad? Grelent sighed and said he is in Kathmandu Nepal. His headquarters are guarded by several stone dragons and if he senses you are on your way to save your dad, he will send the greatest stone dragon to kill you guys. And once you get in the headquarters there is no way to get out if you don’t find the 2 keys. Josh said where are the 2 keys? Grelent answered, I don’t know but here is the map to help you find the 2 keys and to go to Kathmandu Nepal. Jordan thanked Grelent and asked if the 3 siblings could leave but Grelent said not until they are trained and find their signature weapon. They said ok and started training.

After several weeks of training, the siblings had picked their signature weapons and were ready to leave. Josh’s weapon was a laser pen. Jenny’s weapon was a poison makeup box, and Jordan’s weapon was a huge sword that turns into a little box. All three of them packed their bags and were ready to leave. Since it was really dark, the kids decided that they would wakeup early morning and then leave. Next morning, the kids woke up and left. Jordan said according to the map our first stop is Mexico. It said that the key would be located in a garden. The other 2 nodded as they made their way up to the airplane. When they flew to Mexico, they followed their map to the garden that the key was in. the three siblings looked all through-out the garden, just as they were about to give up, Jenny heard a scream. As she walked towards a little door the sound got louder and louder. Jenny grasped and asked the boys, did you already look in here? The boys shook their heads and said no. Jenny pushed the door opened and then ducked just in case anything was coming towards her. Nothing came towards her so she got up to take a look. But then quickly closed her eyes. It’s Medufire, she screamed to her brothers. Jordan said I know and he told everyone to make sure they don’t open their eyes. Then Josh said I found it! I found the key. He pointed out to a lady in a red spar-kling dress. She had tons of makeup on and it looked like she had a wig on. Josh! Jenny screamed. That’s Medufire. We’re never going to get the keys from her. Jordan reminded Jenny that they were on a mission and they shouldn’t say never. Jenny agreed. Just then Medufire walked up to the 3 kids and said well, well, well don’t we have a guest here. Jenny said, what do you want Medufire? Medufire answered and said you would make a great addition to the ash pile over there. Just open your eyes one last time and nobody gets hurt. Jenny, Josh and Jordan screamed never and kept their eyes closed. Medufire said ok then you want


to go the hard way. She went up to Josh and tried to make his eyes go open. It didn’t work so she said I will come back to this one. She was about to go to Jenny and Jenny was about ready to slap her but then she got an idea. Wait!!!!! She screamed! Medufire I got you a new makeup kit as a present. See I have it right here. Jenny showed Medufire the present. Medufire said give me that in a mean way. But Jenny said if you want me to give it to you put your glasses back on. Medufire agreed and put them back on. Jenny hand-ed Medufire the kit and said can you try the gold on? I want to see you in it really badly. Medufire said oh fine and put it on but in seconds she died because of the poison. The three kids said our job here is done and grabbed the key.

They ran out of the place and looked at the map. Jordan said good thinking sis. I was just going to ask Josh to use his laser but that was way better think-ing. Our next stop is Tokyo Japan. I think we better hurry if we want to catch the flight. The 3 kids left the garden and flew to Tokyo. It said in the map that the next and final key before leaving to Kathmandu is in the mountains. Josh sighed and said I hope we come back alive because if it wasn’t for Jenny over at Medufire’s we would have died. The kids chatted as they made their way up to the mountain. Stop Jor-dan, yelled the place is right here. The key should be anywhere within feet from here. Just as they were searching for the final key, a huge roaring stone dragon appeared in front of them. It was 30 feet tall and it has 25 scales going down its back. It had a very powerful red eye that if it ever looks at you; you turn into stone for 35 days. Stone dragon also had 3 wings instead of 4 because it lost one of them while fighting Julius (missing god of all weather). The dragon roared and huffed and puffed at the kids the 3 kids had to do something fast because fighting a dragon without looking at it is hard. So Jordan told Josh to use his laser! Josh took his laser out and tried to slice the dragon. He missed in his first try and on his second but Josh had sliced the dragon in half in his third try. After the kids were sure the dragon was dead, they kept on searching for the key. They looked everywhere and finally found it under some snow near the peak. They grabbed it and headed back to the airport so that they could fly back to India then get a cab to go to Kathmandu Nepal. They arrived at 1am in the morning so they decided again to sleep at camp god crib and then leave early morning to Nepal.

The next morning they woke up, discussed the trip once again this time with Grelent. They left around 5am and got there after several hours of cab riding.

The map had said that Zeuezes place was located in Kathmandu. So the kids landed there and walked till they arrived at Zeuezes place. They had to take a se-cret tunnel unlocked by the 2 keys they had gotten. They had to walk about another 15 minuets before they got to Zeuezes living room where he was sitting enjoying a nice cup of tea. Right after he saw Jordan, who walked first, he made his guards go catch him. But Jordan took out his sword and sliced all 3 of them. Zeuezes then stood up himself and asked what do you need Jordan? Jordan replied I am here for my father please let him go! Zeuezes asked who told you that I have Julius? Then before Jordan could say anything, Jenny said Zeuezes you are an evil guy. You should know that you are doing something wrong. Now that you have made a mistake, you shall say bye to your life. Jordan opened his sword and started aiming for Zeuezes. But Zeuezes got up and started fighting as well. He took his million dollar shield and an even bigger sword and slashed Jordan’s arm. Jordan was on the ground for a minuet but then he jumped up and fought even more. Jordan’s sword was about to slice Zeuezes’s leg. But Zeuezes used his big shield to guard. Then, Josh who had been sitting back in anger jumped up, used his laser and sliced Zeuezes’s head in half. Just then jenny heard some pounding by the back exit. It was god Julius. He had been yelling for help and he had created a river with his tears. When Jenny opened the door Julius sprung up and hugged Jenny. He said my Jenny, oh my dear daughter, you were just three the last time I saw you. Jenny hugged her dad and said I am so glad that I finally got to see my dad after so many years. Then Josh and Jordan walked up. Josh walked up to his dad and said I can’t believe you are it. You are the dad I have never seen. Julius said it is me son and I missed you so much. Then he moved Josh aside and looked at Jordan. There was a moment of silence and then Julius said son! I have not seen you since you were 6. Do you still remem-ber me? In the rain, we used to play as you jumped in to puddles. Then Jordan asked why dad, why did you leave us? The dad replied, I had been paying so much attention to you guys that I never controlled the weather, it got so wild that I had to leave. I just had to. At that moment Jordan gave his dad a big hug and said I missed you so much. Every single birthday, I used to wish that I can see my dad one time even if it is the last time. Then Jenny said we better leave before anyone else tries to get us. On their way out, Jordan asked dad how he got in this trap. But dad said past is past. Let’s think about future. They got out safely and lived together forever. Three years later, they had a lit-tle sister to play with and to tell all about their journey.


Mission A 1339

Prashil Dulal

Day 1, September 9, 3012 Today is the second time that NASA is going to launch

the rocket, A1339. I am feeling very nervous because this was the first time I am ever getting sent out to space! Let me introduce myself to you first. My name is Jack Sullivan and I was born and raised right here in Houston, Texas.

“Hey Jack!” Ashley Kaufmann yelled to me. “Are you ready to go to space?”

“Well, yeah… I mean it’s the first time I am getting sent but I do feel very nervous,” I replied back as Phobos, our robot, came up to us.

“Jack, Ashley please report to the launch base for take-off at 12:00 PM,” he said. Ashley and I ran to the launch base as fast as a rollercoaster. Once we got there, I saw the crew of A1339. Me, Ashley, Herb Fonzo, and Chris Gale.

“Hey guys!” I yelled. “Y’all exited to go to space?”“Well duh…” Chris said. Then suddenly, the monitor

above Ashley’s head beeped. It was time to get sent to space.

We all put on our space suits and climbed onboard the rocket ship that I was flying. “All right guys,” I said. “We’ll be back in no time at all!” I pressed a few buttons and the rocket ship was ready, and so were we. I looked at the clock and saw that the time was 11:59 AM. Suddenly we heard “T-minus 55 seconds.” The count-down had begun. I started to pray that we get back here safely and not die. There was a guy named Nick long ago who got sent to space with the same ship. He is lost in space somewhere. He could be anywhere. He could be at our destination. Our destination was Gliese 581.

“T- minus 10 seconds, 9 seconds, 8 seconds, 7 seconds, 6 seconds, 5 seconds 4 seconds, 3 seconds, 2 seconds, 1 second.”

“Here we go guys!” I shouted“Houston to A1339, good luck on your mission

and have a safe and wonderful journey!” The radio crackled. Suddenly we heard a loud “BWWWWWW-WWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA” I felt the rocket lift off the ground.

“Houston to A1339, you have just taken off!” The radio crackled again. I looked out. I saw clouds and space. I

looked to the right of me and saw an ocean. We had just reached Space!

“A1339 to Houston, we have just reached space,” I yelled on the radio. I took off my seatbelt and floated.

“Yahoooooo!” I yelled loudly. “I’m in Space!” I looked back at the guys and they looked at me like I was crazy or something. Ok, I admit I was being crazy but I was in space for the first time ever! Then, they also took off their belts and they floated as well. I turned my head to look out the window then… I saw Neptune.

“Dang guys! We’re pretty far out in Space! I mean… I can see Neptune!” I said.

“Um… Jack,” Chris said. “We’re not in the Neptune orbit anymore… we’re out of the solar system…” I opened my mouth and dropped my jaw pretty low. I was totally freaked out.

Day 2, September 10, 3012 “Computer, how long until we reach Gliese 581?” I

asked. “15,000,000,000 miles until we reach Gliese 581 A,”

the computer replied. “Black Hole alert… Black Hole Alert… Black Hole Alert… Black Hole approaching in 200,000 miles. Time remaining until we reach the Black Hole… 32 minutes,” the computer said. We all froze. I got scared. All this time I said we’ll live and make it to Gliese 581 and back… but now we are going to die before we even get there!

“Guys?” I asked. “Black. Hole. In. Front. Of. Us.”“A1339 to HOUSTON, NASA we have a Black hole

approaching in 125,539 miles. What do we do?” Chris screamed on the radio.

“HOUSTON to A1339, we see you on the satellite and we also see the Black Hole,” NASA said on the ra-dio. “Ok so all you guys need to do is turn on the Black Hole protection. Press 1877Z on the telepad and you will get the Black Hole cover which won’t allow any-thing to happen to y’all.”

“A1339 to HOUSTON, has it been tested in an actual Black Hole?” Herb asked.

“HOUSTON to 1339, no but we have tested it on the force of the Black Hole,” the radio crackled.

“We’re going to die,” I said. “We’re going to die.” “Jack! Just put on the protection! It may work… It

may not…” Chris screamed. I sighed and walked over to the control panel and pressed the button. Sudden-ly I heard a loud boom and a crack.

“What in the universe was that?” Herb asked. “Um… I’m pretty sure that was the protec-

tor,” I said. “Black Hole approaching in one minute,” the

computer beeped. “Guys,” I yelled. “Get down and pray. Just

pray!” I ducked after that and watched as everyone else also ducked.

“Just stay down,” I said as I got up to see what had happened. As I looked outside, I saw all dark-ness… no light at all. Then I realized, we were in the Black Hole.

Day 3, September 11, 3012 “Um… guys?” I said. “We’re in the Black Hole.”

Everyone looked up at me and then, stood up. “So the protection worked?” Ashley asked. “I guess so…” Chris replied. “A1339 to HOUS-

TON, we are in the Black Hole and we are also alive!!!” “HOUSTON to A1339, that’s good news!” The

radio crackled. I got back in the pilot seat and then, I saw… Gliese 581’s star right in front of me…

“H-h-h-hey Ashley,” I said. “Is it just me or is there a star in front of us?” Ashley walked up to me

looked outside and said “Yeah. There is a star in front of us…” Her eyes opened wide. “A STAR? IN FRONT OF US?!”

“Chill out…” Herb said, as he walked up to us. “Just chill.” I looked forward and saw… the star.

“AAAAAH!! Jack turn the rocket!” Ashley screamed. I turned it hard! Finally, after three minutes the rocket turned fully.

“Ok guys…” I said. “We’ll be on Gliese 581 A in a couple of minutes.”

“Ok…” Ashley said. “Thank god…” Chris and Herb smiled. I continued flying and after a couple of minutes I saw Gliese 581 A.

“Guys… I’ll land the rocket in a couple of min-utes,” I said. “The destination is approaching.” I looked to the right of me and saw a red light again.

“Hey guys…” I said. “Is it just me or is there a red light out there?” Everyone turned to look but then the light went out.

“Where is it, Jack?” Chris asked. “It was right there just a minute ago…” I said

as everyone looked at me like I was crazy. “Jack!” Ashley screamed. “Look out!!!” I turned

my head but it was too late… BOOM! We were all thrown forward. Hard… Like… Really Hard. I thought I heard the radio crackle. I didn’t feel anything. I felt like I died.

Tihar is a festival of lights in Nepal This festival is cel-ebrated for five days and each day devoted to worshiping crow, dog, cow and wealth, nature or in some ethnic groups self, and final day to brothers. One of the rituals during third day and fourth day is that people sing and dance as they go around to various individual homes in their community to collect money, and food and offer blessings for prosperity in return. In modern time it’s common for many social groups to collectively raise funds this way. NCNC has a similar pro-gram here in the Triangle.

This is one of the many ways NCNC has been contributing to the community. Main International Festival is conducted by International Focus, Inc of Raleigh, NC. Please see their website http://www.internationalfestival.org/. There are about 50 local ethnic groups taking part in this function often attended by more than 30,000 visitors.

Theme of festival changes every year. NCNC has a show case depicting our contribution to the theme of the festival in our own way i.e. a Nepali Way. NCNC has Nepali food stall (Momo is a popular item), and a bazaar for Nepali arts and crafts items.

NCNC has also participated in several Arts and Crafts fes-tivals of towns in NC such as Durham Center Fest, Fun Four Festival in Greensboro, Lazy Daze and Spring Daze festivals of Town of Cary.

NCNC thus far has also hosted two joint conventions of Ne-pali Associations of North America who have similar purpose. These conventions were held in Raleigh in 2001 and 2009. These programs are unique among Nepali Diaspora and pro-vide an opportunity to meet other Nepali living in different parts of America and share their experiences. It provides an op-portunity to learn about them, their life styles, compare scope of things, and their area in general. These are widely attended programs and provide opportunity to interact with large num-ber of participants. There are programs for everyone including children, youth, and seniors, and for American guests. Often musical concerts, movies from Nepal are presented along with a bazaar of nepali handicraft and art items. NAC is Nepal America Council, ANMA is Association of Nepalis in Mid-West America, Nepal Pasa Pucha Amerikaya is association of Newa folks in America, FNA is Florida Nepal Association.


Charity in

TragedyIn USA

&Worldwide

and Other charity

efforts

NCNC encourages members to donate funds on case by case basis and rarely donates from its regular funds. Funds were collected for: India - Gujarat Earthquake Victims Fund, 2001; USA - Terrorist Attack Victims September 11, 2001; Nepal-Flood Victims, Prime Minister’s Relief Fund, 2002; Srilanka Tsunami Victims Relief Fund, 2005; Haiti Earthquake Victims fund, 2010; Pakistan Earthquake Relief fund (NCNC- children initiative), 2010; Japan Earthquake Funds 2011; Dilshova Shrestha Amaghar Fund 2012. NCNC also raised funds on individual basis for very poor and destitute here in US and in Nepal.

NCNC started Blood donation program with a huge success during 2102. NCNC has spon-sored Health Fairs in its programs and hope that this will also become a regular annual event. Recently

NCNC has adopted a highway to keep it clean and we hope that NCNC members will en-joy volunteering on it in future. NCNC has also helped and volunteered in providing Nepali Translations in various occasions and of course providing information for folks going to Nepal.

Nepali Learn-ing

and otherEducational

Activities

NCNC sponsors and coordinates Nepali language lessons for members (mostly children) and others interested. Members of NCNC have taught these lessons at the Hindu Temple in Morrisville, NC for a short period. Two levels of Nepali classes have been offered at NSCU, Raleigh, and at UNC, Chapel Hill by a Nepali Professor. NCNC supported this effort by involv-ing students in various NCNC activities and also disseminating this information to general public. Besides Nepal, Nepali is also one of the national languages of India and is also spoken in Bhutan and other countries of Southeast Asia. Growing number of immigrants in the area and growing number of NCNC members provide good participation for this effort. Nepali Learning School is restarted again in 2010 and is open to children of NCNC community and all interested. All classes are sponsored by parents, volunteer teachers, donors, and NCNC.

NCNC has also conducted essay contests, poster/art competition often with themes related to Nepal, Culture, and Traditions. NCNC has also conducted poetry festivals in collaboration.

NCNC has collaborated and or taken part in activities in NC State University, Duke Univer-sity, UNC, Chapel Hill, Salem College, Davidson College and we hope this kind of effort con-tinues. Connection with University and being in educational environment is quite important for our youths.

Saraswati Puja is observed in Nepal by worshiping the goddess of knowledge - Saraswoti puja d falls on the spring equinox day. Students worships their learning gears like pen and books, perhaps computer these days! NCNC has celebrated this festival for our youths to em-phasize value of education. And NCNC plans to continue this tradition together with other activities.

popularity

NCNC has hosted receptions for dignitaries and conducted interaction programs with na-tionally known individuals in Nepal passing thru this area. NCNC also hosts drama, musical concerts, movies, comedy shows and poetry festivals from artist travelling from Nepal. These functions often motivate attachment towards Nepal in general and reinvigorates our mem-bers’ cultural awareness. Some of the dignitaries hosted by NCNC are Mr. Madhav Kumar Ne-pal, former Prime Minister of Nepal, Mr. Puskar Shah, World Cyclist and Mount Everest Climber; along with others here locally with similar mountaineering excellence; Ambassadors; other spiritual personalities like Khem Raj Keshav Sharan; Gulab ji Maharaj; Yogi Chita Mani; Nepali Baba Pundit Tej Nath Sharma; and Concerts by Deep Shrestha group; Shambhu Jeet Banskota; Nabin Bhattarai; Nhyo Bajracharya, Sabin Rai et. Al.; Shringara Nepal; Comedy shows by Ma-Ha jodi; Manoj Gajurel; movies by Bhuvan KC etc. NCNC has also honored local American Friends who have contributed to NCNC and Nepal thru various programs.


Future Activities

NCNC perhaps should also have a vision for long term and some sustainable activities. For example one event that could be added is: Buddha Purnima celebrations.

Buddha Purnima day commemorates the birth, enlightenment and attainment of Nirvana of Lord Buddha. It falls on the full moon day of April-May. Hindus and Budhists in Nepal visit Lumbini, Nepal, the birthplace of Buddha, and other famous buddhist monasteries like Swayambhunath and Bodnath in Kathmandu. NCNC perhaps may make regular volunteer-ing day for their “Adopt a Highway” program here in the triangle as symbol of service to the community

Other area NCNC perhaps can consider on long term is a program to facilitate observations

of our life events ceremonies or our Sanskars: Like in any culture, Nepali culture has also a list of life events that every one is entitled as one passes thru life cycle. They include pre-birth, childhood, student, adolescence, adult/marriage/householder, and finally death functions and post death functions (Sraddha). While these functions are performed individually ac-cording to every individual’s own and family desires, NCNC at the minimum, perhaps, may fill the gap by facilitating members to carry out these events in dignified and honorable manner. As new immigrants in this new society, we are kind of cultural orphans due to lack of cultural amenities. Our children will be even more in confusion. Its our responsibility to create an environment for our children so that they can grow up culturally, and are not short changed in social up-bringing compared to the children of other communities here. Community and supporting facility have not matured like in Nepal where help is available, sometimes, by de-fault. NCNC, perhaps should take up on its shoulder to provide this kind of transitional relief for our generation here.

Building our own Community Center: Eventually, and one day, I hope that NCNC will be able to have our own space where many of our community activities can be carried out. I have posted a presentation in youtube on formation of a “Cooperative” here in the Triangle area with a hope that this could be one way to have our community center. Please visit the link or search on NCNC-coop on youtube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jg8AfRVMAYw). Please do note that its an idea for NCNC and not a NCNC prepared Video. On-line Radio “Mirmire” has started and perhaps it can be regular weekly radio station of our own which can keep our community tied together.

His Excellency Dr. Shankar P. Sharma, Ambassador to the United States of AmericaEmbassy of Nepal2131 Leroy Place, NWWashington, DC 20008Tel: 202 667 4550, Fax: 202 667 5534 Subject: Keynote Speaker and Chief Guest

Dear Ambassador Dr. Sharma,

This is my pleasure to introduce the Nepal Center of North Carolina, Inc. (NCNC) to you. NCNC was established to blend and foster friendship and cordial relations with the local community, protect Nepali culture and iden-tity, extend helping hand to Nepal and the Nepalese around the world in any way possible. We also endeavor to disseminate information and advice to new and potential comers to North Carolina, as well as to those with a desire to learn about Nepal, Nepali culture or those that are ready to embark upon a trip to Nepal. NCNC has more than 500 members.

Every year, NCNC has been hosting Nepali New Year and Dashain Festivals with cultural programs, ethnic cuisine, pageantry of traditional costumes and brief speeches and presentations as a token of our cultural exchange with our fellow North Carolinians. NCNC has thus provided a forum for interaction and introduction of Nepal to our own growing youths in particular as well as all our North Carolinian Friends and also to rest of us. It has been very successful to date and has been unique for personal level interactions among interested members. NCNC is also involved in many other community activities in a regular basis and some of the detail is available on our website www.ncnepal.org. On behalf of our organizing committee and NCNC, I take great pride in invit-ing you to address our cultural exchange function as the keynote speaker and to grace the function as our chief guest. This years’ function is scheduled on

October 21st, 2012 between 5:30 to 10:00 PM.

We do not have any speci�c theme for the key note address but as always our attempt is to empower our youths to face challenges and opportunities in this new land with education and knowledge of their culture. Often they have their roots to uphold while they merge with day to day American life style, and we �nd that direction along these lines are very meaningful for them. We expect about 500 people in attendance including some distinguished person-alities that have been to Nepal or associated with Nepal in some ways such as former Peace Corps volunteers/Directors, UN representatives, Missionaries/volunteers, college professors/students and many of our own senior members locally from all around the state, and also from nearby states.

We are certain that your presence and speech will be illuminating to all our participants and a source of encouragement to our NCNC BOD and the orga-nizing committee. We hope that you will be able to �t our program in your busy schedule.

Thank you for your kind consideration and we eagerly look forward to your presence at the function.

Respectfully,

Shailendra DevkotaPresident, Nepal Center of North Carolina, Inc. (NCNC)

Give Blood Save Lives

Lila Bahadur Karki

Facts about Blood

Someone needs blood every two seconds.

About 1 in 7 people entering a hospital need blood. One pint of blood can save up to three lives.

Healthy young people who are at least 17 and weigh at least 110 pounds may donate one pint of blood every 56 days (eight weeks).

Sixteen year-olds may donate with written paren-tal permission.

Momentum in the community servicesNepalese Association in Southeast America (NA-

SeA), through its partners in the southern states and beyond, has collected over 400 pints of blood in less than two years. This collection will be enough to save up to 1200 lives in need. NCNC is one of them. Thank you NCNC for being a great partner in hosting such a great social event.

This momentum of giving back to our communi-ties through our Blood Drives keeps on moving for-ward. Our partner organizations in southern states are truly dedicated to continue such a noble task solely for the cause of saving lives in need. Also, we are coordinating with several partner organizations beyond the southern states to giving back the most precious gift of life to the community. We have been

energized by the active participation and great en-thusiasm shown by Nepali organizations during all the blood drives organized so far. Seeing is learning and doing is believing.

Scarcity of blood has been invariably seen in most of the cities of the US. NASeA through its partner or-ganizations is proud of making significant contribu-tions to fill a part of the constant blood scarcity for saving lives. The Community Services Committee of NASeA that coordinates blood drive has left a unique impression on the minds of Nepalese in the United States and joining hands with the Blood Donors of America to reach out many more Nepali organizations to keep on hosting blood drives.

Giving blood by a healthy eligible person does not harm him or her. Though there is an instant loss of volume and blood cells but our body system handles the loss quickly in a number of ways so that the do-nor regains status quo within few days. Volume loss is recovered quickly by drinking enough liquid. Further, the life span of red blood cells is 120 days. These cells are going to go ‘wasted’ anyway, so why not donate these cells to someone who needs them rather than let them go wasted.

In closing, we appeal you to join hands in collabora-tion in this noble task of saving lives and to promote the donation of blood -- the priceless donation, which is beyond and above any other donation and admira-tion.

Preserve with Values

Simran Khadka

Out of all the values my parents have taught me so far, respect, appreciation, and preparation have mostly made me who I am as a Nepali American. With those values, I have learned to treasure Nepali festi-vals, like Dashain and Tihar. For now, my plan of pres-ervation simply requires the ability to keep practicing what I know, to learn as much as possible, and to edu-cate the future generation. Preserving my identity is important since it holds years of inheritance from the past.

Respect, appreciation, and preparation are the cen-tral values taught to me by my parents. Starting out with respect, my parents have taught me that respect is vital since it determines the way I am treated. The respect each person receives is meant to grow, but it can only grow along with the proper treatment from other people. For example, I have respect for my par-ents because they take care of me, and by following them from the beginning, I have gained their respect as well. Over time, what one is told to follow becomes the question, “Why should I follow?” At this moment, appreciation plays its position as the second value be-cause it bestows the answer to why one should keep following. Appreciation makes one recognize all the things that others have done for one's own benefit. For instance, following my parents makes me under-stand that they are living and working in the United States to ensure that I have a better future. The least I could do is appreciate their efforts and continue fol-lowing them. In addition to appreciation, preparation is important because everyone ultimately stops be-ing a follower and becomes the followed. Although many activities in the present require preparation, I have used preparation to organize my future as a Ne-pali American. Even though my parents have told me that no one can prepare for everything, I believe that one can at least organize how one will accomplish certain goals in the future. For instance, preserving the inherited Nepali identity is one of the goals I must accomplish, and the best I could do right now is pre-pare a plan to ensure that the future generation will embrace their identity as a Nepali American. On the contrary, I must first understand and provide a solid

case as to why I want to deliver certain festivals, like Dashain and Tihar, to the future generation.

Importantly, my intention to preserve Dashain and Tihar lies among the values I believe in. Both of these festivals require respect, appreciation, and prepara-tion. Beginning with Dashain, it is essential to respect your elders during Dashami, appreciate Goddess Durga’s protection by making sacrifices, and prepare for all the daily events on this fifteen-day celebration. Although shorter, Tihar is parallel since you respect your surroundings by worshipping animals, such as dogs and crows, appreciate your brother for the protection he provides, and prepare for all the daily events as well. As a child living in Nepal, I have always enjoyed these festivals since everyone seems happy and relaxed during this period. Once I moved to the United States, celebrating Dashain and Tihar was dif-ferent. The celebration was always filled with con-cern on fulfilling all aspects of the festival and often restrained compared to celebrating in Nepal. Since Dashain and Tihar are not recognized as holidays in the United States, some rituals were often hastily or quickly practiced for the sake of time, school, and work. Although my parents tried to carry out all the rituals, some of the minor rituals were always left out. Seeing their efforts to preserve our culture made me want to follow their footsteps. Since Dashain and Tihar are the most important Nepali festivals to my family, I am determined to pass them to the future generation regardless of the challenges these festi-vals face. Mentioned earlier, my goal of preserving Nepali values and culture requires preparation.

My plan of preservation includes the ability to keep practicing what I know, to learn as much as possible, and to educate the future generation. This plan explains how preparation, the last value, plays a role in my life. To introduce this plan, I must main-tain practicing the cherished culture taught to me. In this case, being involved yearly in Dashain and Tihar events will be my first step of preservation. It is sim-ple, yet crucial since it begins my plan to preserve my Nepali identity. Eventually, the second step includes


learning as much as possible. Dashain and Tihar are imperative, but there are still additional festivals, like Teej, Buddha Jayanti, and Maha Shiva Ratri, which be-long in my identity as well. If I am willing to continue practicing Dashain and Tihar, I can definitely learn more about other festivals and practice them as well. As I continue educating myself as much as possible, I will become proficient to educate others. For this last step, I need to step into my parents’ shoes, and teach the future generation about the importance of our values and culture like they did to me. I would like the future generation to grasp the reasoning behind why we practice certain festivals so they are more likely to uphold Nepali identity. Just like myself, I want my own children to follow first, and then become the fol-lowed after they have gained their knowledge. When I create my own home and family, I hope to preserve the Nepali culture and values that have become my identity.

Preserving my Nepali identity is important to me because forgetting my unique identity while living in this country will eradicate generations of hard work. As a Nepali American, values like respect, apprecia-tion and preparation were passed down to me from

my parents, and I was simply told to practice them. Eventually, I started appreciating those values since it gave me a reason to cherish Nepali culture even more. Sooner or later, I used those values to plan and educate the future generation, so they will benefit and preserve their Nepali identity as well.

Sukrity Dhungel

"Home is where the heart is." Six words said by Pliny the Elder, a Roman Philosopher that are very simple, yet very significant. To my family, home is their home country, Nepal. Although I was born here in America and have celebrated all my holidays here in the U.S, I have drawn a pretty accurate picture of what holi-days are like in Nepal. Let me tell you what I mean…

In January, here in America, it is the start of the New Year, thus we get together with our friends and family and celebrate. When we get together, I miss my family in Nepal. However during April, over in Nepal it’s the Nepalese New Year, so they get together and dance and sing, and they have delicious food and drinks.

The next thing I would like to mention is that no matter which culture other people in your life are from they are always respected. “What do I mean by this?” In Nepal there is a saying “Mata, Pita, ra Guru lai devata saman mannu”-Treat your mother, father, and teacher like God. Well, here in America, there is Mother’s Day, in which the children take a day out of the year, to show their mothers just how thankful we are to them. Similar to this day, in Nepal there is Ama Ko Mukh Herene Din. Even though mothers are high-ly respected, it doesn’t mean that we have forgotten about our dads. Here in America, we have Father’s day and we take time to be with our loving dads whom always shower us with happiness, and this happens in Nepal during Buwa Ko Mukh Herne Din.

My next thing actually has to do with religion. Most of my friends at school go to Church on Sundays to pray, which I think of as me and my family going to the Temple on Tuesdays to Pray to Lord Ganesh. Some of my friends at school sing Gospel songs at church, and they even dance with the music some-times. Now, this to me seems so much like our Nepal-ese traditions of singing Bhajans and dancing along! Also, I’m sure you have heard of the Bible, the holy book which Christians follow. This reminds me so much of how we Hindus read the Geeta. My last re-ligious similarity is of how Christmas reminds me of Dashain. Well, how I think of it, is that we celebrate

Dashain because our Gods had a great victory, and the Christians celebrate Christmas because their God was born. Here in America, we get about fifteen days off for Christmas break. Similarly in Nepal, during Das-hain, students and workers get fifteen days off. Also, during Dashain, traditionally speaking, that is when the children get their gifts and their new clothes. Ex-actly like this, in America during Christmas, children get presents from” Santa Claus.”

“Boo!” Did I scare you? Well, here in the U.S, on October 31st, little kids go “Trick or Treating”, where they go door to door and ask for candy. This trig-gers a thought in my mind about “Gathe Mangal” or “Gatha Muga” back in Nepal. This is a time that falls roughly around July 29th and it’s celebrated to cast away the evil ghosts and bring happiness and joy to the society. Actually, Halloween also reminds me of a time during Dashain where the young ladies go to their neighbor’s house and sing and dance and in re-turn they get prasads, some other sweets, and even money! This is called Bhaili. But it is not just the fe-males that get to have fun…The young men also do the same thing, but on a different day, and it’s called Deusi.

Although these are just some of the things that bring me memories of things that are in Nepal, they all make a huge impact on being a liaison between me and the country where my family is from. It has also made me realize that no matter which culture you are, what religion you believe, or where you are from, it may seem like we all have completely dif-ferent perspectives on everything, but we are all humans, and things may not be as different as they seem.

Me and My Nepal

Sushil Sharma

Nepal is a very small country in Southeast Asia, but it is home to many people and also the tallest moun-tain in the world. It has many traditions and cultures that people celebrate (Tihar, Dashain, etc.). While I live in America, there are many things that help me remember Nepal and its customs.

Americans have a holiday that they celebrate called Christmas. It is a holiday that is very important to them because the day that they celebrate it is also the day that Jesus (Christian God) was born. When I celebrate Christmas, all I really celebrate is getting presents. The reason people get presents on Christ-mas is because it is a recognition of how Jesus’ spirit of giving. When I get the presents, it always reminds me of how people in Nepal give gifts to each other in the Nepali holiday similar to Christmas, Dashain. If you call your family members to celebrate Dashain with you, then most likely they will come from all over the world to celebrate it with you. On Christ-mas, it’s the same thing. So both of these holidays are also meant for family gatherings. So when my parents invite people to come celebrate Christmas, I always remember of how everyone in Nepal invite each other to celebrate Dashain.

There is a store called the Flea Market near my home. People go there to shop for things that they want. When I went there for the first time, I was amazed of how many people there were there. It was an outdoor market (with some indoor shops) and it was just like every single shop (or bazaar) in Nepal. I remembered how there were shops in Nepal outside and how many people were shopping for food, ac-cessories, etc. For a moment, I actually thought I was in Nepal at that time. There were many shops that you could buy things from. It’s like someone brought a Nepali bazaar to America. There is also another shop called the Farmer’s Market. It’s where people sell their fruits and vegetables to other local people. It is similar to how people just sell their food in Nepal and how people come to buy it. So now, if I ever need

to see what a Nepali bazaar is like again, then I can just visit the Flea Market to remember.

Funnel cake is eaten by many Americans. It is a dessert that is round-shaped with powdered sugar on top. There is another food similar like that in Nepal, but without the sugar. Sel roti is a food eaten by Nepalese people during festivals such as Dashain or Tihar. During Tihar, sel roti is a main food that people eat. It is made by pouring a batter (made by rice and other ingredients) into a frying pan in a circular shape, and when the batter gets cooked, it turns into sel roti. Whenever I eat funnel cake, I always think that I’m eating sel roti because of how sel roti and funnel cake look almost the same. Eating funnel cake ALWAYS reminds me of how everyone in Nepal eat sel roti during some festivals and I can taste the delicious taste of it in my mouth. From now on, when-ever I eat something in the shape of sel roti, I imagine I’m in Nepal celebrating Tihar with everyone else while eating the one and only, sel roti.

So in conclusion, those three things help me remem-ber everything about Nepal. Celebrating Christmas helps me remember how people celebrate Dashain and have family gatherings, going to the Flea Market helps me remember of how people shop in outdoor shops, and how there can be a lot of people there. Last but not least, eating funnel cake makes me remember of how Nepalese people eat sel roti and the delicious taste of it. So if I ever need to remember things about Nepal, then I can think about Christmas, the Flea Mar-ket, and funnel cake to help me remember.

Me and My Nepal

Rojal Adhikari

My very own precious country Nepal, attributing an angelic beauty is located between India and China. Being an inhabitant from such a country which is one of the most beautiful countries in the world with many mountains, rivers, lakes, and natural scenarios, I am swollen with pride to belong from Nepal.

When my family decided to culturally diverse to North America, I thought it would be very difficult for us to adjust in such a highly developed country. But when I started observing many similar traditions, culture and ritual practices in America, then I realized it isn’t going to be as difficult as I think it would be.

Even though Nepal and America are situated in different continent with different culture, tradition, heritage, races and physical features, there are many scenarios, cultural events, hospitality that remind me of my homeland. For an example, last year we were invited to my brother’s house for thanksgiving. We ate various types of food like turkey, pumpkin pie, etc. That night it reminded me of ‘Makar Sankranti’ & ‘Dashain’. It also reminded me how our whole fam-ily used to get together during Dashain and have a great time. Eating Turkey that night took me back to memory of Dashain and Makar Sankranti in Nepal where we ate tons of ‘Sel Roti’, ‘Sesame Seeds Balls (Til ko Laddu)’and different kinds of ‘Yam’ (Tarrul).

Halloween is one of my favorite festival/holiday. This festival is celebrated on October 13. Last Hal-loween I went to many different houses for trick-or-treating with my friends. That day, I was reminded of ‘Duesi and Bhailo’ that we celebrate during Tihar. Instead of doing trick-or-treat on that day, we sing Duesi Bhailo and dance as we go to various houses in our society, collecting money, food and giving bless-ings for prosperity. Decorating houses with lighting during Christmas instantly reminds me decorating my house back in Laxmi Puja.

Every Sunday morning, I see a lot of people going to the church to pray to god. That flashes me back to the time when I used to go to ‘Pashupatinath Temple’ with my parents during Saturday morning and wor-

ship. It really surprises me that even though we di-verse to a country which is across the globe from my homeland, we are still able to go to Hindu Temple and do many things that we used to do in Nepal. Wow! What a developed country!

There are many scenes, landscapes of North Amer-ica which constantly reminds me about the beauti-ful scenarios of Nepal. When I saw Mount Elbert in Colorado the first time, it reminded me about our Mt. Everest. It felt like I was in Solukhumbu district. Many memories like this always make me feel like I want to go to back to Nepal. The view of Jordan Lake reminds me of boating in Fewa Lake in Nepal.

Another thing that really amazed me is ‘Farmers Market’. It is a place where farmers transport their production and sell it to people. When I first went to farmers market with my parents, it reminds me when I used to go to ‘Haat Bazar” with my parents back in Nepal. The selling style in Haat Bazar and Farmers Market is very similar. It totally surprised me when I saw people bargaining the price of vegetables with the farmers.

July 4th the Independence Day when United States of America declared independence from the King-dom of Great Britain. Independence Day in America, jogs my memory back when Shah Dynasty declared the Democracy in Nepal. According to my opinion, even the local governing system of Nepal and Ameri-ca are same. For an example, different counties of this state are like as the Village Development Committees and Municipalities in Nepal.

With all these similar cultures, traditions and ritual practices of United States and Nepal, it has helped me a lot to adopt here in America. Therefore, no mat-ter where we go or where we live, our culture, heri-tage, and our nation should never be forgotten.

Thank you!
