A Short Story………………………… Hope

I met him during one of my regular trips to “Devghat”. He looked surprisingly fit for his age. In his late seventies he was walking faster than me, “almost running”. ‘I used to have “ek mana ghee” every day when I was adult’, he said with a visible pride. Daily walk across the hanging bridge of Devghat and back was his way of getting fit and releasing the hassles of life. “I have always been mesmerized by the serene beauty of Devghat”, he said. “You know, this roaring Kali-Gandaki and that quiet Trishuli always remind me of passion and realities of life. That is why I come here every morning to contemplate life with every drop of water that flows in this river”, he suddenly became poetic. “I have always been very passionate about life”, he said. Born in a farming family somewhere in the hills of western Nepal, he didn’t go to school. He was busy helping his father manage the everyday needs of their joint family. It 2

was only after he got married (“arranged marriage”, of course) to a daughter of a nearby “Pundit” clan, he realized that he needed to get some education. Being a Brahmin, he could always be a “Pundit” if he could get some basic Sanskrit education. And he left home. Devotees were bathing passionately in the spot where Kali-Gandaki and Trishuli river merged. “You know, these people really believe that they can wash-away their sins by merely bathing in this junction”, he said with a painful smile. He had been living in a riverside hut of Devghat since five years. His two sons were in “Amrika” (America) and were “too educated to look after him”. “You know, I did come home after getting education in Banaras”, he said. After all, I had to look after my aged father and mother. If I wanted, I could have stayed in Banaras and become a politician, and who knows I could have even become a “Mantri” (Minister). And there was always “the big Ganga” to wash away my sins, he smiled. “But, I knew what my priorities were”, he said. Being the only Sanskrit educated in his village he became a famous “Pundit” very quickly. At last, he could go to his sasurali (“in laws house”) with pride. The plight of not being able to live with his children and grandchildren had saddened him deeply. “It hunts me every night, you know”, he said. “I don’t know what makes them forget everything”, he murmured. “Is it that ‘languti laauney aaimai’ (that bikini clad girl)?” I saw anger in his eyes. One of his sons was living with an “Amrican” girl; he had seen them in photos. His other son was too busy eking livelihood for his family in Amrika. “You know, I miss my “nata-nati” (grandchildren)”, his eyes moistened. “I too worked hard to raise my family. “Even after the death of Radhika (my wife), I never let them feel that they didn’t have a mother”. “I gave them the education they needed”. “I never forgot my roots”. Despite the state of affairs he expressed Namaste – NNZFS Annual Newsletter

hopes. The bigger hope of humanity, tranquility and peace. The small hope that one day he would be able to hug his grandchildren, play with them, and take them to nearby “Mandir” (Temple). The hope that one day he does not have to use his ailing hands to prepare a meal for himself. The small hope that after his “Nitya Karma” (Brush and Toilet) every morning, there is always a hot “Chiya” (a cup of tea) ready for him. It is this hope that keeps him alive. Waiting for the day…. - Govinda Poudel

Nepali Gorkhali Football Team

This year’s Global Football Festival (GFF) 2009 went pretty well. We didn’t win any games but we all the players and the supporters had a great time again. It was wet start with some drizzles. But thanks to Murray – for bringing a giant gazebo that roofed us and helped to dry football gears. We are pleased to have a lot of extra players. We played 3 games on Saturday. The first one was against the Afghans it was a close game lost by 3-2. Second was with Japan we lost badly 5-0. We had beaten them 4-2 in a friendly game though. Third one was with Fiji Indian which we lost by 5-1. That was a very interesting game. We attempted a lot of shots on the goal post but missed by few inches every time. It was one of the best games of the whole festival. It was fun on Saturday games. The weather was nice & warm. We had BBQ with some nice Aachar and Chiura. Thanks to all the 3

volunteers who fed the players and supporters, and thank you Ashish for BBQ. Our junior team played really well. We expected them to reach to the final by lost against Afghan by 4-3 on extra time. On Sunday, the Chinese team did not turn up so we went to the Bowl final which was played against Ethiopia. We lost it by 4-2. That was another great game. We were in draw 2-2 till half time but we lost at the end. Some of us also went to play for the ethnic all star vs police team. We are growing as a team since last 5 years. We always welcome new and young players. We did not even have jerseys, football and shin-guards when it started at our first year. Now we have two different jerseys. Many thanks to EUREKA TRUST (Red Jersey 2006) and JANI KING (Black jersey set as well as football gears). We were the runner up in the last year’s 5th division CSSL (Canterbury Sunday Soccer League). We also won fair play team trophy (out of 50 teams) and Ashish also won the player of the tournament trophy out of all the five division players. All the credits of a successful running of Nepali Gorkhali Football Team go to the supporters and Nepali community’s continuous supports. We are all proud to be a part of it and this also gives us a very good opportunity to meet every week and also to make international friends and more importantly to keep us fit and healthy.

won all the three games. We plan to have this event every year in December. It will be a good build up for the GFF. Junior(Under 16) Nepali Gorkhali Football Team This year, in the GFF 2009, we were planning to have 6 aside junior football games as well. There were only few good players but the rest of them were really young ones under the age of 10. It needed at least 9 players for a team. Till the day before the festival, I wasn’t sure if I would have full set of team even 6 because 2 of the good players had been selected for Canterbury, who had to go for training. I really wanted that our young boys should gain experience of this Football Festival in order to build up for future. I knew a boy called Bikram. Just 10 years old small boy but could kick hard and accurate. He was just a gifted football player. I asked Nissan to team up all the young ones before the Festival. He gathered 4 boys (Ashok, Bikram, Asish and Bikram). They were all between 10 to 12 years old. I had also informed Shishir (14) and Asish (14). So we got 7 players that made me happy. I requested Moti to pick them up and drop to Bexley Reserve.

They were so excited to play their first game, which they lost with Afghan by 5-0. The Afghans were double their size. The second game was perhaps the most exciting one. It was played against Tiny Cops. There were 2 girls in their team. They were taller than our team but our boys were far faster than them. They just 4

kept on attacking us. Our team won by 30. At the end of the game even Tiny Cops coach and supporter were cheering for our team. They were already famous. The third game was played against Fiji Indian which they won by 2-3. This time we had big boys Saroj (15) and Ribu (12) playing for our team – well done guys. We went through the final which was against Afghans again. We lost with the final score 4-3. We were all proud of our young players who made to the final. Definitely, there is a bright future for our Junior Nepali Gorkhali Football Team. - Gyanendra Pradhan

Story………………………………………

An Endless Wait

only son moved abroad for studies. In spite of the load shedding in the town, she always managed to steal few minutes to come online to chat with him. She was thankful to the modern technology with which she could stay in contact with her son living thousands of miles away from home. But tonight, she could not find him online. “He did promise to come online tonight. May be he dozed off in front of the computer waiting for me. It is already past midnight there. I should have finished the cooking earlier.” She always felt the time difference so annoying. When she could get free from her household chores, it would already be midnight at her son’s place. She opened her hotmail account with a hope that Binesh might have dropped her a message. But it was empty too. “Perhaps, he is busy with his work,” she tried to console herself.

She hurriedly finished her kitchen chores and rushed to sit in front of the computer. She switched it on. It felt like the computer was taking ages to boot. “I should have asked Binesh to get a new computer when he was here last Dashain,” she murmured. After making some creaking and screeching sounds, the old Pentium III computer finally got ready. She slowly followed the instructions written down on a piece of paper and logged into the messenger. She peered through her thick glasses searching for her son in the messanger (msn) list.

She browsed through older emails in her inbox. It was her and her husbands favourite past time to read and re-read Binesh’s emails. Occasional photographs that he attached to his emails would always bring smiles to their faces. She opened his latest email with his photographs attached. “You have put on some weight,” she smiled. Time has flown so fast. It has already been 15 years since Binesh left home for his studies. Their happiness was limitless when he had announced that he got a scholarship to study abroad. It was dream come true for the whole family. She had boasted to her relatives that her son was going abroad for studies that too with a scholarship. It was not that she was not proud anymore. She was still very happy for his progress. She still never missed to exaggerate about his achievements whenever she was in a gathering. And she

secretly smiled when her relatives envied about it. But in spite of all this, somewhere buried deep inside her heart, was her wish that her son one day returns back to live with them. Without him around, there was a kind of emptiness in the house and in her heart. Her eyes often got watered when she saw her neighbours happily enjoying dinner with their children around them. She did mention to Binesh about settling down in Nepal during his last visit. “It is difficult to find any job for me here anymore. I have a good job and good pay there. Besides, the country is no more like it used to be. I would love to stay with you all. But…” Binesh had simply brushed off her idea. “He is not wrong too. The country is no longer the same. Things have changed. It is not safe as it used to be. He will not get a job that suits his qualifications. Moreover, how would he survive with fourteen hours of daily load shedding?” she had comforted herself. She had always been a strong lady. With her husband always busy with office works, it was her who brought up Binesh single-handedly. She meticulously juggled her office and family and yet she always carried a smile in her face. But that was long time back. She had already retired now and with plenty of time in hand, she often wished that she could go back to those golden days when her family was intact.

“Perhaps I should again try to convince Binesh to move back home,” she thought to herself. “He sure can find a work here or even he can start a small business. After all, so many people are having a good life here as well,” she started planning. “Hey, are you again dreaming in front of the Computer?” Her husband’s voice brought her crashing back to the reality. “There has been an incident. The news says that there was another bomb blast in the centre of the city. Seven people were hurt. Thank god no one was killed. I just don’t understand where this country is heading to,” he lamented while walking out of the room. The news shattered all the plans she had been weaving. “It is good that Binesh stays abroad,” she whispered with a heavy heart. Her hands hurriedly started to type him an email: Dear Babu Subha Aashirbad I hope your work is going fine. Take care of your health. You just concentrate on your work and be happy wherever you are. You do not need to worry about us. Both of us are very fine here. Do write emails sometimes. We reading your emails.

She still hated to admit that she is getting old. But she knew it very well that she is weaker than she used to be. Her backache seemed to get worse every passing day. Doctors had no answers for her leg pain either. Years of hard work seemed to have weathered her husband as well. Even she felt that her husband had suddenly grown old in the last couple of years.

Wish Of The Unborn

sleepless nights. “Oh mother, please be at ease, at least, for me. It’s already late for prayers and your worship. But don’t you worry. I’m coming for good. God has made me a female but he has not done injustic to me and you. It’s only a matter of time before you’ll realise that there’s no harm giving birth to a daughter”.

It’s too dark in here, though cozy, warm and safe. I’ve been growing day by day, week by week and months. I’m not sure about my age and but I might be possibly 7 or 8 months old. I’m being raised with such love and tender care at the moment inside mother’s womb. I get my daily feeds, daily bath and my face, my hands and legs – the whole body is growing into such a fine shape. I love my home. I’m the sole ruler right now. I can swim where I like, I can kick any time I like and nobody is here to disturb me. I have the best mother in the world. But I’m worried too. Soon, I’ll be going out in the new world totally foreign to me. I’ll have to adjust myself to it and it might be difficult. Besides, I’m a female. I’m not sure what my family might feel when they see another girl added in “an already full of female” family. I’ve an uncanny feeling that my grandma and my father are anxiously waiting for a small brother. Grandma has even consulted a fortune teller and she was told of the arrival of a new member in the family – finally, a male one. I can hear the strange faint sound from here perhaps they are enjoying the good news. But, what about my mother? Is she happy too? Or is she worried more? I can sense the latter in her because I know she visits the temples daily. I can make out the bells ringing, her prayers and her Namaste – NNZFS Annual Newsletter

“I want to feel your warmth and your heavenly care and compassion as soon as I’m born. I want to look right into your eyes and smile at you and see the same in you. I’m your flesh and blood. I promise you that one fine day, I’ll bring happiness and pride in you and that moment will be the most important and precious one for me. Please do not hate me, when you see me, dear mother. Do hold me on your soft hands and love me”. “You’ll take good care of me, won’t you?” “You’ll always mother?”

2. A physicist was visiting his best friend who was a mathematician, whom he had not seen for several years. He asked his friend that how old are their children. The mathematician replied, well, we have three children and the product of their ages is 36. The physicist said: with this information I cannot tell their ages. The mathematician said that the sum of their ages is his house number. The physicist had probably known his friend’s house number but still he could not give him the answer. The mathematician then said that his eldest son goes to Piano class. Now you find out their ages. 3.

This has the power to make one fall for Physics, all over again! Sir Ernest Rutherford, President of the Royal Academy, and recipient of the Nobel Prize in Physics, related the following story: Some time ago I received a call from a colleague. He was about to give a student 8

a zero for his answer to a physics question, while the student claimed a perfect score. The instructor and the student agreed to an impartial arbiter, and I was selected. I read the examination question: "Show how it is possible to determine the height of a tall building with the aid of a barometer." The student had answered: "Take the barometer to the top of the building, attach a long rope to it, lower it to the street, and then bring it up, measuring the length of the rope. The length of the rope is the height of the building." The student really had a strong case for full credits since he had really answered the question completely and correctly! On the other hand, if full credit was given, it could well contribute to a high grade in his physics course and certify competence in physics, but the answer did not confirm this. I suggested that the student have another try. I gave the student six minutes to answer the question with the warning that the answer should show some knowledge of physics. At the end of five minutes, he hadn't written anything. I asked if he wished to give up, but he said he had many answers to this problem; he was just thinking of the best one. I excused myself for interrupting him and asked him to please go on. In the next minute, he dashed off his answer, which read, "Take the barometer to the top of the building and lean over the edge of the roof. Drop the barometer, timing its fall with a stopwatch. Then, using the formula x = 0.5at2, calculate the height of the building." At this point, I asked my colleague if he would give up. He conceded, and gave the student almost full credit. While leaving my colleague's office, I recalled that the student had said that he had other Namaste – NNZFS Annual Newsletter

answers to the problem, so I asked him what they were. "Well," said the student, "there are many ways of getting the height of a tall building with the aid of a barometer. For example, you could take the barometer out on a sunny day and measure the height of the barometer, the length of its shadow and the length of the shadow of the building, and by the use of simple proportion, determine the height of the building." "Fine," I said, "and others?" "Yes," said the student, "there is a very basic measurement method you will like. In this method, you take the barometer and begin to walk up the stairs. As you climb the stairs, you mark off the length of the barometer along the wall. You then count the number of marks, and this will give you the height of the building in barometer units. A very direct method." "Of course. If you want a more sophisticated method, you can tie the barometer to the end of a string, swing it as a pendulum, and determine the value of g [gravity] at the street level and at the top of the building. From the difference between the two values of g, the height of the building, in principle, can be calculated." "On this same tack, you could take the barometer to the top of the building, attach a long rope to it, lower it to just above the street, and then swing it as a pendulum. You could then calculate the height of the building by the period of the precession". "Finally," he concluded, "there are many other ways of solving the problem. Probably the best," he said, "is to take the barometer to the basement and knock on the superintendent's door. When the superintendent answers, you speak to him as follows: 'Mr. Superintendent, here is a fine barometer. If you will tell me the 9

height of the building, I will give you this barometer.'" At this point, I asked the student if he really did not know the conventional answer to this question. He admitted that he did, but said that he was fed up with high school and college instructors trying to teach him how to think. The student was Niels Bohr (1885-1962), Danish Physicist, Nobel-Prize winner in 1922, best known for proposing the first 'model' of the atom with protons & neutrons, and various energy states of the surrounding electrons - the familiar icon of the small nucleus circled by three elliptical orbits ... but more significantly, an innovator in Quantum Theory. - Dr. Rajesh Dhakal

Our home for the next two days. Come over here and help me out with the tent.” This was the most difficult task we had to do. The tent! It wouldn’t stay upright in the brown sticky mud. After a very hard task of putting up the tents, we decided to take a nice long sleep. For the 16th time, I woke up in the freezing night. The rain was still pouring down. The winds were roaring louder than a pack of lions. I looked at my dad. He was shivering in his weak sleep. I opened my eyes. I saw a beam of light hitting my face. I slowly stood up. I opened the tent, when suddenly I felt like I was going blind. I couldn’t see a thing. It felt like my eyes were just ripped of me. I tried opening my eyes again and this time I had a better reaction. My eyes were adjusting to the most powerful thing on the Earth. The sun!

A Short Story

After the brilliant breakfast that my dad made, we headed off for some canoeing. We carried the bright yellow canoe down to the river. The river was sparkling with the sun. The reflection of the sun was just floating calmly in the blue river. We carefully put the canoe in the water. I hopped in. I could already feel the canoe trying to float out with the river. After my dad had got in, we slowly headed downstream.

It was dark. The sun was fading towards the unknown. The rain was like mini thunder bolts and was smashing hard into our small car. It looked like we were heading nowhere. The journey so far had taken only one and half hours but it felt like one and half days. A second to me felt like a minute. I was getting impatient. “How much longer?” I asked my dad who was driving the car. “Not much longer now.” The journey had just edged past 2 hours before we reached the camp site at the mighty Waimakariri River. “Here we are. Namaste – NNZFS Annual Newsletter

We had been canoeing for just over an hour when the weather started to go ugly. The light blue sky got covered in grey clouds. The winds picked up. The river was getting stronger and stronger. It was now at the dreadful time of which we couldn’t control the canoe. “Quick! Give me the radio!” I handed my dad the brick like radio. “Mayday! Mayday! We’re at the Waimakariri river canoeing. We’re at the point at which we can’t control the canoe!” A gentle voice came back from the radio. “OK. A helicopter will be there in about 10mins.” My dad put the radio down. “A helicopter will be here in 10mins but until then just hang on to the sides.” I did what 10

I was told. • Every minute we seemed to pick up speed. About 6mins after my dad had made the mayday call, we were in a course of some rocks. “Hold on son!” my dad yelled over the roaring water. It looked we had just missed some rocks when a huge wind gust came from the south. The wind gust was too strong for the canoe. We crashed into a gigantic rock. “Dad!” I yelled in horror as I saw blood gashing down out of his head. I tried to go over to my dad’s side when suddenly my head hit the side of the rock. It felt like I was running around in circles. I then fell on to the floor of the canoe.
