Yeti becomes Prez

By Kanchayeti
Snowcovered. Dec.29: Last night when the roads across Bhankuver was frozen with black ice with drivers going crazy behind their wheels, HimSoc's Advisor Yeti Ratna Rai walked victorious in his self chosen path to become unanimously declared President of Nepal Cultural Society of British Columbia, coolly called NCSBC. During his play days with HimSoc, yeti Ratna R usually played @ mid-field and made excellent passes to his fellow strikers. At times, when the pass was right, he himself made some surprise goals. Yeti RR has demonstrated commendable team spirit as a soccer player with HimSoc and was popular with some classic hamjayega jokes off the field. He has always been a well wisher for HimSoc and has provided valuable advices to HimSoc. Currently, yeti RR sits as one of the active advisor for team HimSoc.
It looks, today Nepalese community in this snowcovered Bhankuver is welcoming his josh and volunteerism to serve the society as Prez. Recently, the whole world witnessed an unprecedented wind of change sweeping across the border, now, on the lighter side, shall we call this yeti, Ratnabama? Who knows, given a right team, this yeti may score some fantastic goals for NCSBC too.

HimNite Hangama

By Sanuyeti

Raincover, Nov.15. HimSoc`s much awaited 2nd dinner and dance party: HimNite took-off with much hangama in this beautifully renovated Royal Banquet Hall in Vancouver today. The best of the guests started rolling in by 6pm through the heavily guarded entrance officiated by none other than macho Sharad with this top team. Ticketmaster Junas was seen busy counting cash and tallying names. Guests were warmly welcomed and ushered by Suman, Aangbabu, Laxman and Raju. The hall looked warm and inviting with eager audience to have a glimpse of yetis and yeti-kids performing live on stage to the tunes and styles of Hannah Montana, Michael Jackson, 50 Cents and Udit Narayan by Dechen, Biru, Karma and Susan respectively. For their love for Himal and Nepal, the Canadian rock band Sound System, rocked the Nepalese crowd with their loudest sound, for free! The impact of their loud system was literally visible on the faces of some guests who preferred to stand and chit-chat in some quieter corners, away from the cranked sound system. The young no-name band by Anish, Niraj, Pritam and Devashish stole the show with their punchy Chiya Bari Ma and Mercedez Benz.
The eight minute solo lead piece Glasgow Kiss by the coolest lead guitarist in town Anish, was the highlight of live music concert in todays HimNite. Later, the part-time band 'Yetiz' with Anish, Amrit, Devashish, Prem and Vikas tried to make some good music with Bheda ko Unn Jasto and Bir Gorkhali but the musicians were seen sliding behind the stage curtains to pretend as if the music was coming from outside. DJ-Kalden did the magic with his newly found passion of DJ`ing and made the crowd alive with trendy folk remixes, churke beats and some hip-hops. The sparkling disco lights splashing the skins of frenzied floor dancers, helped to hide the oozing perspiration on their excited skin until midnight. Unable to escape from his tough duties, yeti Nima, manning the precious liquid fort called bar was seen tapping his feet inside his well guarded haven.
The happy feets of Raato yetis will rest in peace for this winter with their minds engraved with sweet memories of posing with their Seasons Championship Cup on stage with yeti Nagesh, one of the veteran retired player of HimSoc. The august gathering of HimNite also had the priviledge of watch the body building champ, Mr. Nepal-Biru M. with his glittering gold medals on stage today. The slide-show handcrafted by Rajib, which included pictures of yetis, families and friends, collected and compiled from past himsoc moments were beautifully displayed on huge monitors from the moment party door opened until the last dance.
When the season gets hot, a yeti eagerly waits to kick every week. Believe it or not, now the yetis and their friends have started waiting for HimSoc's wrap-up party every year with the same flavour and anticipation like they do for every Soccer Sunday.

Dami Deuse

By Bhaileeram

Sorrey, Nov.1. Today about fifteen Yetis from HimSoc brought the unique Nepalese culture of 'Deuse' at the door steps of Nepalese families living in the Canadian cities of Surrey and Vancouver, British Columbia. Yetis sang and danced in the traditional Deusure dhuns bringing those Tihaar atmosphere alive in this part of the world. This culture Deuse can be compared to Halloween`s trick or treat of Western culture, except the gifts involved in Deuse is money. The culture is so unique that after the Deuse Bhais (brothers) are gifted with cash, the Deuse Bhais in-return bless the home with fairy tale wishes. It is often said, "Home is Where the Heart Is," but today Yetis felt, "Nepal is where the Deuse Is."

Raato Rocks 2008

By Kanchapele

Raincouver. Oct. 19. Today HimSoc's last game of the season ended seven minutes early because of the Fall sunset which made the ball barely visible to kick but Raato emerged bright and victorious to lift 2008 Season's Championship in a close sporting battle of 4-3. Today's game was the finale of best-of-five games in which both Raatos and Neelos were head-locked with 2-2 wins. The game turned interesting when the Neelos ended their first half with 2-1 lead. Neelos put Raaotos under tremendous pressure at times but the agile frontline Yetis of Raatos made all the difference in the end. The game seemed fair as the Neelos played with 9 Yetis against 8 Raato Yetis in the first half and with 8 Neelos against 9 Raatos in the second half. The speculations ran high after the game within Yetis, 'what-if' the ball was visible for the full game, perhaps the Raatos would have fired some more goals or maybe the Neelos would have equalized or the game would have rolled into a tie-breaker kicks but any imagination will now remain an illusion for any Yeti for eternity, as the mysterious snowman in the Himalayas itself! Whatever be it, as it is said, "May the best team win", and certainly for Raatos, it is time to say, Hip Hip Hurray!
