Beyond Social Works
At some point, he asked to me about my future plans if I won the lottery. In return fire to him, I said him to launch a TV channel and forming an INGO which satire us. After the inspiration of my friends, I played lottery every week. We had to choose six numbers among the 1 - 49 numbers that could lead us from rags to riches because 15 million pound is the dream of every rag. Even I told to my friend who is in Kathamndu to selected six numbers. Of my broken fortune, there is tragedy after each result.

In the mid 2005, I have been in USA. I have magnificent chat with Swatika, an Indian young woman on youth conference in USA. 'Hey! Mr. Do you have a girl friend?' She asked me on our bus trip. I didn’t respond. She added another question to break my silence, “what do you look in a partner?” “Hummm.., physical attractiveness, warmth and affection, social skills, homemaking ability, fashion sense” I answered. Jokingly I asked her to be creative director of my organization. “Why didn't you ask me what women look for in a partner?” she asked me. “I know what you girls look for, a record of achievement, charisma, leadership qualities, job skills, earning potential, a sense of humor, ambition and intelligence. Am I right?” I replied. She just smiled. American friend Ms. Elaine who had been staring our conversation expressed her view for blue eyed, brown hair and tall man.

It is all about Bangkok tour story in 2005. We, a group of five people stay in hotel where we had taken three room, one for Mrs. Durga Sob and two for rest of us.
In the mid night, Ms. Sob called us and asked either immigration officer called or not, obviously not. “Why the people asked only to me?” with scary voice. So as to make a cool environment we said not to worry because this call is made by us. But she didn’t believe us. After that we said to her we will discuses about this issue in hotel officer by saying we have also been facing same problems.
In the next day morning at tea time, Ms. Durga Sob shared her problem that she couldn’t sleep whole night and worried because some one had called to her from immigration office to know her immigration status. Similarly, Mr. Hari Prasad Ghimire also shared that he also faced that situation. In that night, that person has made a bluff call to Mr. Hari Gyandari’s room. But Hari Prasad Ghimire received that call co-incidentally. That person had asked lots of questions regarding their visit Bangkok, concerned about passport, visa and what types of business they are doing. As well as when they will be return in their country.
Mr. Ghimire regards this as minor case because he had experience of Chief District Officer (CDO) in Nepal. However Mr. Gyandari and Mrs. Sob sound like that they can’t take this case as a normal.
Actually, Mr. Tek Tamrakar, my room partner told me to gag Mrs. Durga Sob. I dialed the Number of Ms. Durga and told her that I was Mr. Peter from Bangkok immigration office. I had talked more over ten minutes about her stay, business and concerned either she had sufficient fund to stay here or not. And I stopped these phone talkies by saying that I would inform my senior officer about it and if I need further information I would call again. Finally, she said to me, I’d love to say about my activities in Bangkok.
Within this period, my room partner Mr. Tek just laughs and encouraged me to call another friend Mr. Hari Gyandari.
Comparatively, Mr. Ghimire takes this call as a normal call. He is absolutely confidence in answering my queries. I realize that her mind is really distributed and she was more confused. The funniest thing is that they can’t recognize me until now.
In 2006, I was in Sydney. Australia. I have travel around the Sydney on the day time. Mr. Richard was my Sydney tour friend. He has introduced Dr. Simrika Sharma to me. After special occurrence, we had marvelous conversation. “Hello how your life is in Sydney?” I asked. She just smiled for my question as answer and share me her email id.
Their University exam was running even they have managed time for Sydney tour. We reached in Sydney opera house. Opera house is located in beautiful area on the theme of sea and garden that where lots of people are come to share their grief and happiness.
We stay in garden; I opened my laptop and started to take photo from mobile. Green garden, blue sea and smiley face Ms. Simrika. It’s a natural combination that seem like to a person’s creation.
We had travel in different beach for instance Bondi, Manly and Bronte. We like Bondi for swimming. We used her lotion. I said to her that I had no idea about swimming so she started to coach me. That was very fantastic time for us. Lastly, she find out I can swim.
We returned back in our home and started prepare for BBQ. We had had lamb and drinks. Then, I had opened my laptop; browse BBC Nepali service website to listen Nepali news, checked my emails and had wonderful chat with friends, especially with Dr. Sharma, who was born in Australia but looks like typical Katmandu girl. Her expression proved that she used to follow traditional Katmandu culture.
