Graduation day.... Revisited!

It was the day of my graduation! One whole grueling year had passed since I had come into DC. It was also my last day/night in DC before I left for Nepal. Mareea, my Bolivian friend, and I came to the US for the same accelerated program in Education counseling. The year had been rough as we both had fallen ill while practice teaching. And now, it was all over! Time to say goodbye to all and sundry and head back home!

"Chitara, les go aan parrti toniie!" said Mareea. "Wha abou hangin ou wee yurr Nepalee frens?". My Nepali friends were a group of Nepali guys, I used to hang around with playing basket ball and hiking; really cool, fun guys.... wonderful! Not having grown up with brothers, adored them. They had sort of adopted me when I had arrived at DC and took me everywhere except to strip bars and guy thangs! Many a times, I was also the butt of many jokes... especially while playing basketball. Every time I dribbled the ball they would hollar....watch out for her nails, manche ko hawa phuskai dincha! Or hiking ma, "Sitara phaint bhayo bhani bokney jimma kasko?". And in exasperation, I would threaten them to line them all up and put bhaitikka on each one! The answer would be, "euta bhako chwank le pani tikka lagayo bhane kaslai jiskaoone?" But they would back off.

So, here was Mareea asking to hang out with my wicked bunch of friends! I looked at her said..."Are you sure? Can you handle them? Their merciless teasing??"... She gave a wicked grin and said " Thriee me babeee!".

So, I called up my best friends, two who had attended the Commencement...." Aatish, Mareea wants to hang out with us tonight as she is also flying out tomorrow!". Aatish Jhan ke kam " Senoritaaaa Mareea, oooooooh babee! But Sitara, please don't wear your graduation ceremony ko saree to the club hai.... pheri you might be over-dressed ni! haha!" Kyaaaaa mora raicha. So, I thought ok.... I will just shock and awe them!

Late evening came..time for me to get dressed. I was still at the small studio apt in Dupont Circle/Adam's Morgan and my dad had come for my graduation. "Daddy, hajur ko shirt ra tie laoonchu ni!". I explained to my dad about my friend's comment on my sari and he started laughing.... "Hey, its your day...go out and have fun!". I wore his off-white shirt and took his best tie, black jeans and black combat-type boots with heels, a female terrorist in makeup! Hehe! boy were those guys going to get a shock! My dad took one look at me and started laughing. Then Mareea arrived.... she looked stunning in a little black dress all ready to go out and boogie. "Chitara, no baad! but, yu won be dancin too mooch too nigh!...if I ware a guy...I woo be scare too as yu..wee those boots!" she exclaimed in her Bolivian accent. I smiled wickedly and said, "you wanna bet Mareea??????"

HI Mili! woooooohoooooo! 2 years, eh? Been two years since I joined Sajha and went into my "much ado about nothing" spree. You have a great day too.

Indi... damn! you don't miss details do you! :) Binay was... special. As for Atish,... we'll let the whiff of suspense float around, ki kaso? Tyasto last minute changes in plans have occured far too many times (not always for the better ni). Sometimes, I am convinced there is a divine conspiracy going on concerning us mere mortals.

:(

Nice one sitara, you always keep it coming,

This is my third time reading it. Wonder who was that tall guy dancing with you...any details? And for some reason I can see you were the heart breaker instead of miss La Paz, the way you portrayed her, she looks like Kelly Osbourne. I can see that tall dude's heart was bleeding after that oh-so-synchronized pelvic twirl and whirl that ended up flat on the floor.... I bet santa would have stopped playing and sat agape seeing you guys dance. Too bad...Sanata Sang for "maria" and her friend stole the show.

Can't say the same about Atish, he might have been your husband by now..sitara...ki kaso???

Geez, Girl's Night out>>. Last Day in DC>>>Guys I like>>Binay and me>>. Ateesh and me>>> That's right. Keep it coming Miss Sitara. Duh. It's getting old and boring.

Peace out

sorry another typo..it was santana..not santa

Get life. Duh.:p
( No sexual graphics please. Warning in advance.)

Yeah you need that Indisguise. a life. are you the new body guard hired by sitara. lol.

Sonika. Please do not try to flatter me. why would I leave this wonderful job of being your BODY-G ;) and go to sitara:p ( well she already has LittleBudda ho ki ke ho LMAO, confused knows abt it).

Sonika, I know you hate yourself for loving me, girl! Happy New Year! May you finally get a glimpse of the taillights a real Porsche and not a Porche! ;)

John, My, what a romantic you are! :) The tall man was last seen heading for the bar, to drown his sorrows. As for Atish, I never quite had a crush on him to take it to the alter.
Indi, control your woman sweety, she is bucking at the reins.

Cool keta, thank you. And, good luck with your life and music.

My woman?
she wishes. Haha. Don't you Chonika:P

Arka ko chitta dukhai dine Chitara? But Sonika's effort to be a girl with an Atti-tude is praise worty.

In jest,
