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."
