dada's day started out on a quiet note, with fewer people turning up in the morning, as most were coming in the evening for the party
those who came blessed deviji too.. who was not feeling too good physically today.
ball bahadur presenting his offerings to dada
while deviji was being fed brunch...
others sat around the table to have their food
after endless days of scanning pictures for presentation.. miku finally relaxes with snacks
the team from rato bangala...
mami lit the panas....
.. made very nice remarks about dada.. pulling his leg.. and also saying that there is a deep spiritual person behind all the nay-saying!!!
then there was soft music being played in the backdrop of the candlelight palas
then two strangers arrived.. an old man with a young bideshi wife
pretty big bummed old guy who claimed to be dada's great grandfather
the budho claimed he had found his budhi during a trip to yumrika
he advised his great grandson.. to take care of old brittle bones and not frolic about too much
.. and also warned him not to cast his eye on his wife whom dada claimed to be his sali...
it was later revealed that .. the bideshi wife was played by madhu nepal
and rupa joshi was the person behind the daari jungaa playing her father's baraju
then began a nearly 200 picture long presentation entitled "ka. di. ko naalibeli" the presentation had to be stopped midway as the laptop's RAM gave up and stopped displaying picture... that gave guests time to catch up with dinner...the presentation was continued to a more intimate crowd after dinner...
some of the the guests....
the all fortified chef team at dhokaima who served the most gajjabko dinner
..oooops.. the children overcame their near oversight of their fathers' babu ko mookh herne with a hastily improvised present!
the nimta had said not to bring presents.. so many came with flowers (there were presents too!).. mr. kathmandu valley waves to the crowd after the ceremony was done...
as miss bagh bazar showers flying kisses too.. so that is how it went... dada's belated junko birthday...
guests, from all spectrum of dada's acquaintances, friends and relatives. really had a nice time.. a unique programme.. very informal fun, with good weather, food and entertainment...
