New Year trip to Namo Buddha

Jan 1, 2012 (Sunday)

It’s Sunday and is the starting of the New Year 2012. Our plan was to visit “Namo Buddha” as celebration of New Year. We’d already reserved a micro bus for that. We are going to be 9 altogether including me, Mohan, Kamla, Pragya, Bikash, Ananta, Khem, Khem’s wife and Khem’s brother. But, unfortunately we were just 6 ((me, Mohan, Kamla, Pragya, Bikash and Ananta) as Khem, his wife and his brother couldn’t join us due to some urgent work.

I reached Balkhu at 7:30 a.m. and went to Baneswor with Mohan. On the way to Baneswor, DP called me. I asked him to join us in our plan knowing that he won’t. As soon as we reached Baneswor (in Mohan’s room), DP called Mohan saying that he’s also coming there to join us. It was the happiest moment for us that DP bunked office to join in our plan. Me and Kamala prepared breakfast (new item “Paapad Bharuwa”) and tea. At around 8:30 a.m. Pragya and Ananta reached and after a while Bikash and DP reached. Pragya helped us to prepare breakfast.

After having breakfast at around 10 a.m., we moved to Namo Buddha in a micro. Now, we are 7 altogether.  It might be a stupid idea to reserve a micro bus of around 20 seats for only 7 persons. May be that’s the reason that the driver and the conductor were looking us surprisingly.

It was too cold on the way. We’d lunch break at Dhulikhel. At around 12:15, we reached Namo Buddha. The place was too beautiful.

We roamed there taking photographs around 2 hours. Then, had Pringles and oranges along the way.






It was too cold so had tea there. The moment with all of them was too fun and enjoyable. The most important thing for all of us was that DP was also there today. We all enjoyed teasing DP as usual. While returning from there, we bought some oranges. At around 3:00p.m. we returned from there. We reached Baneswor at 5:00 p.m. only due to traffic jam on the way. Then, had tea at Mohan’s room as Bimala prepared tea for all of us. Then, at 6:00 p.m. returned to home. Mohan and Bikash came to drop us at Kirtipur and DP went with Ananta. The starting of New Year was too perfect with my dear ones. Hope so in the following days also.
