Dashain Program in Iowa City

Today am feeling so lazy …am in office right now… one thing click in my mind that lets write a blog…haha…tara what should I write… yha of course about Bijaya Dashami Celebration this year (2064 B.S. / 2007). Last week 13^th September we had a Dashain Gathering of all Nepalies of Iowa state, US. So for that I, Madan and Rajan went to Bikram’s apartment a day before after office… it was 2 hrs drive to Cedar Rapids, IA… we didn’t planned to be in Bikram’s apartment immediately cause he was going to pick his Vinaju from Maulene airport….. we planned to go to Kushum didi’s home (Kushum didi was the coordinator for the Dashain program in Iowa) because one of my fren Rajendra was there after his surgery of tumor on his spinal cord … when I heard about the news of his surgery I was so afraid and immediately called him from office tara his Wife Asha bhauju pick up the phone and everything is fine… after reaching Kushum didi’s house we talked with Rajendra about all … as Rajendra has Key of Bikram’s Apartment we get that and drive to Bikram’s who was on his way home from airport… we reached there about 1 A.M (13^th oct)… Bikram and Sanjeeta was in home at night around 2 AM so when they came we just had a chat for couple of minutes and slept… I wake up around 8 AM so that I can practice dance with Sanjeeta which we were going to present in the Dashain Celebration but sanjeeta was sleeping…she may be tired of all that bhag daud…We practice for the dance (which goes like “Mulgin Pari..Tarera Gandali…) … we forgot all the steps we had for that song a week before so we choose some other steps for the dance…so then after having Khaila and Bhaat (Chicken and Rice) made by Bikram we went to the theater where Dashain Celebration was going to take place…we practice there also couple of times … Any way the Dashain program was super cool …we forget some steps in the stage performance but we didn’t made the audience notice it by putting our own steps that time…haha…sounds funny….after all the dance program, music and all we had a dinner then after played Bingo… it was fun I also win one prize in it which recover my ticket fee for that game… after bingo we had a dance in randomly seleted song…babal nachiyo …had lots of fun….it was around 11 PM so we moved out side said Bye to all then was about to go… some plans made of going Digo dai of Cedar Rapids and have a “jam” so we went to Digo dai’s house had some food cause we were little hungry ..may be babal nacheko lay hola…so all started singing….Digo dai…Om ..Rajan, Me , Badri ..Kpil dai,.. Pujan, Bikram,… Sanjeeta… we all were there… at around 2 AM we returned cause Bikram had to leave his Sister and Vinaju to airport …they were travelling to Nepal so… we were sleeping …all tired… after Bikram came from airport he cooked Khaila again for us and we enjoyed that a lot.. then after we planed to return home…so tired of all …I, Rajan and Madan Returned home and slept immediately as we reached home…. This was all about Dashain Celebration in Iowa city…….about my heart Runa I missed her so much there kaas she was here … I did called her and tell all about all that happened today to her….
