Why should we celebrated chrismas? Do westerners celebrate Dashain and Tihar? Then why should we just imitate as if chrismas is our festivals?

Anyway I like to drink with my frens anytime not only in chrismas? How about you?

This also reminds me of Nepal where many non Hindus celebrate Dasain. Like Dasain, Christmas, in spite of it's religious origins, can be a pretty non-religious affair. What's the big deal in buying a tree and sending out some presents?

To Real Me: You ask: What is morality? I can give you a very clear definition. Morality is not getting on the internet to solicity sex from some under age child. Morility is not sendimg pictures of your genitalia to that child in order to get them to meet you in your home or in some secret place. Morality is acting like a real man who protects the innocense of children rather than trying to destroy their minds and bodies for you own selfish satisfaction. Morality is believeing in a higher power, being faithful to your wife and family, and acting like a decent human being. Drink anytime you like but stay off the internet with kids until you are sober and can properly judge you actions.

what a guy, you are Capt, what a guy! :-)

Greetings from the foggy Belaayat - yeah the shots at C-Regal or JD must seem like a tempting prospect but I'd better stay away from it - the liver-call you see! :-) Pretty much unchartered waters, these bottles are for me, mind you. My friends can empty barrels of them, I can assure you! Forget bottles! Blimey... and they've already taken out insurance policy for early retirement - the ailing liver may well give up any time! :-)

Come along with your bottle of nog, next time you accompany me on my expedition to the North Pole... how about that???

:-)

Have a good one, mate.

Funny that this question be asked.

I was in Nepal last year during this time and at least Kathmandu was very much in the Christmas spirit. Several people were throwing Christmas parties -- we had one at our house too. It was fun decorating a Christmas tree -- a plastic one, unfortunately -- listening to Christmas songs and just meeting loved ones and making merry. So if people in Nepal can embrace this holiday, why should Nepalis in the US complain? :-)

And New Year's eve was even better. Thamel was packed and full of lights and music. There was a street fair with vendors selling different yummies in their stalls. Momos on-the-go, wow! I had a fantastic time hogging on food, drinking margaritas at the Maya Bar (i think that was the name) and just chillin' with friends. Dec 31st is technically not our Nepali New Year's eve, but it was a helluva lot more fun than the Nepali New Year's eve! Gosh -- all this is making me nostalgic about last year :-(

A quick note before I hibernate. A warm holiday greeting to Lahureji as well, another man with a great personality! Btw when are we heading on a safari in your Land Rover? I would like to add couple of people in our venture - Captain_Haddock and Avani along with you, Anon, Scarlet and myself. It would make a perfect team? You say what Lahureji?

Happy Friday Night!

Oye bathroom wala,

This is serious question Yaar. Everyone asks me what I am doing in Christmas and why don't I take vacation. Why should I? I can have party with my frens. But why should I act like it's a great occasion.

You got it?

Morality means different meaning different people. For me, what I believe is morality and also respects your thoughts. That doesn't mean I am right and you are wrong.
Everyone is right man. Only time and circumstance makes differrence.
Merry Chrismas

It's just a holiday.. the spirits among people r good... mostly... lights and extra day off.. so why not celebrate... but, doesn't mean u've to literally celebrate as a Christian, unless u r one.. if u r not, just gather w/ ur friends and enjoy and celebrate the spirit of holiday season.

Sweet Flipu,
My apologies - I have been a tiny bit remiss with this post. My sajha surfing has been all too erratic of late - must have slipped into a long stupor this time! Christmas binge eh! :-)

""another man with a great personality!""
Hey, you don't know me half as much, do you? So beware, young lady - he's not so 'great' at times, especially when in foul mood - a hard, stubborn Lahuray as he is with his brass manners and his guff-filled 'big talks'! :)) But, thanks.

""Btw when are we heading on a safari in your Land Rover? ""
:-) Any time. Will head for the Ausie outback or the Kalahari desert? Your call. :0

""I would like to add couple of people in our venture - Captain_Haddock and Avani along with you, Anon, Scarlet and myself."
:-) My LR is,, err ahem,, 'Ladies Only' ke! :-) It's been recently retrofitted to suit their collective size and shape! No, we'll lump 'em two together in the gaadi - I will need Capt-H as me ol' 'binge buddy', and Anon as my deputy, so he can sort you lot out. :0) Why? Well, because they beat us folks to behaving really badly after having had a few too many, ke! :-) Field discipline, you see - the last thing one wants is a bunch of drunken female revellers - let loose, half-stripped, running around the bushes! :-) (I remember one funny incident from Cyprus some six years ago!) :0

""It would make a perfect team?""
Yeah, wouldn't it? More names to join the team - Sitara, John_G, Lady Croft (she appears to have relinquished her 'virtual' self!),, who else, oh Nepaali too (haven't 'seen' her for ages").. :-) Where is Scarlett these days, bhaneko? A quick exchange of emails, then she is gone for forever... busy enjoying life 'somewhere' in the Far East (?), I suppose.

Hey, banters aside... have a good new year hai ta. Hope you had a swell time - mine was as usual; went to a few dos; ate & slept loads. Take care.
*****************
Capt,
""whatever else is on your mind :) ""
:-):000))))). now I can't tell you that - better left unsaid about our Freudian moments, Capt! :0 What a guy, you are Capt, what a guy! :))
Hope your xmas was a good one... still recovering from the sore head, no? :))

*********
Real_me,
Sorry for mucking up your thread.
About the ques you ask. I see no harm in one celebrating the 'westerners' [sic] festivals as long as one enjoys the occasion. All festivals are meant to be merry, something that brings happiness to one's life; that brings families together every once in while. And it is this value that counts more than anything else. All other variables do have only a secondary role to play in the wider scheme of things - your religious belief for example. That is my take on the issue you raise.

It's sad that some communities in Nepal have given up celebrating Dashain for some misplaced religious bichaar - then again, it's a personal choice. One has every right to hold a bichaar that fails to gel together with yours or mine, or do things that you perceive to be at variance with a commonly observed value system, - insofar as one's actions do not impinge on others' freedom of doing things their own way. However, it saddens me to think that we tend to let our agendas - that of forging a so-called 'identity' out of such bichaar for example - rise above what must be preserved as a common thread that binds us together neatly: our universally cultural whole if you like, our common identity. Now I have strayed beyond the scope of your question somewhat but I think, what you ask is only pertinent in the context of what is happening in our society at present.

I do not follow religion per se, in the traditional sense of the word but I don't mind celebrating religious festivals inasmuch as I can derive something from these, which adds to a happy fulsome life. Be these Christian, Hindu or Muslim. Let me talk about my friend's neighbour; they are an interesting trans-national family - wife from New Zealand, husband from Malaysia. Husband a Hindu, wife a Roman Catholic, and on Sundays, they go to Church, and at other times, to Mandir, and they celebrate Diwali in the same breath as Christmas. Now, that for me is an ultimate paragon of a happy, fulfilled family unit which can embrace all attitudes of religious customs/traditions. I would most readily support my own children one day whatever else they want to celebrate as long as doing so makes them happy.

My two pence worth. A very happy New Year, Real_me.
Carpe diem
