Huge Nite HimNite

By Nepali Ho
Hiucovered. Nov. 19. High in Himalayas it is often considered auspicious and good luck when it snows during festive events. But today, it appeared hard luck for some tipsy drivers who had consciously sipped few cans -only- to be sober under the BC`s new booze law, to maneuver their slippery wheels over the white blanket which took some drivers hours to reach home. The first snowfall for the year turned yeti`s Huge Nite into HiuNite. LOL.
The Thitis seemed to have more fun dancing round the chairs amidst loud cheers from their Yetis. Sajana Shrestha, the winner of the musical chair event one of the happiest who would soon dine free at the Vancouver`s cozy Nepali corner to redeem her prize sponsored by Café` Kathmandu. The little gals - Krishangi Dandapure, Angelica Shakya, Maya Bajracharya, Lumanti Maharjan performed their dance to everybody`s delight. A surprise performance of the night was a fabulous belly dance by Kamala Bajracharya.
The leader and the lead guitarist of band Avatara from Vancouver -Shennpen Khymsar- from the city`s death metal music scene made a cool appearance with his hometown soms to perform his fav off metal composition to entertain the guests. Anuj Singh, captain of the Neelo team lifted the Season`s Championship Trophy for the Neelos and Sai Baba Soccer Cup, HimSoc`s first ever tournament trophy, won in the city of Richmond in the month of July of this season.
Ever since Vancouver`s first Nepali band was formed, they have not been able to rock properly, the part time -Yetiz Band- made a huge comeback today. LoL. Pasang, who not only has a huge aura of hair which sits well for his rocking charisma, made a huge impact to showcase the band scene in this august gathering who jived passionately in 1974 ADs Nepali Ho cover. In his hot seat, the new drummer, Pritam beat the *hit out of those drums to get the beat going. Now, who doesn`t know –Jimmy Anish- whose fingers dance like thousand Juggas (worms) that sprout in the grazing fields after the monsoon hits the Himalayas. Poor people danced again around the same Chiya Bari Ma, cover by Niraj. Amrit with his favorite Mamamta Ma almost converted the beautiful Royal Banquet Hall into a time machine to transport all who wanted to drench in romantic hits of Himalayan Kingdom of yesteryears. Vikas tried to thank his master coach, who is popularly known as Pudke Mama in Darj, by singing Mama`s composition Yatra Nai Ho. Our very own Prem KC delivered some of his melodious goods and made many feet tap in some of his select Nepali and Bollywood beats. Soon after the party ended, a dozen Yetis got into stage and danced to their hearts content in their best -last song- and for more than a dozen best last songs! It seemed endless but finally few yetis in good spirit ended the Huge Nite with a good snow ball fight outside which almost made everybody sober for the BC`s fresh snow road. LOL.

BoF re BoF: It`s Neelo!

by Ghamasan Game

Vanchetra. Sept. 26. Epic battle of Mahabharata was fought in Kuruchetra between the bros Kauravas and Pandavas, some thousands of years ago, they believe. But today, in a tight sporting battle to win 2010 Season`s title, the HimSoc -Neelo and Raato- bros played a nail-biting critical game in Vanchetra -alias Vancouver! Raatos circled their wagons in an attempt to take a U-turn in game 3 of season`s Best of Five(BoF)Game but Neelos stuck their horns together and prevented the red bulls to shuffle the winning cards which Neelos were holding with two straight wins over Raatos. BoF 2010 reached the climax when game 3 was dismissed with some funny yet serious walkways. Todays` game proved that Yetis can play like real Peles and present handsome sportsmanship and friendship. The Raatos played extremely well with all the star players like Lhundup, Nabin who were well marked by Neelo`s formidable defenders and midfielders like Biju, Prem and Junas. Biju has also earned the distinction of The Most Improved Players of 2010. The long whistle ended with 4-2 score and heralded the winner of BoF 2010. Neelo`s captain yeti Anuj almost jumped and yelled,"This time it`s Neelo buddy!"

Raju Rocks

by Halla Chalecha

Bhayankarbha. July 30. The reigning heartthrob of Mongolian Heart -Raju Lama- flew all the way from New York, his new homeland to perform live for a charity concert to support Himalayan Children, the students of Mangal Dvip School, Nepal. The concert was organized by Yeti Lhundup Sherpa, the former student of the MDS. HimSoc was the proud supporter for this fundraising event. Raju started with his -Nepali anthem like- Mero Nepal and ended with his popular -disco like- Shayad Timro Bato Ma and made many feet go crazy, body got twisted and turned in his tune. Ke Halla Chalecha? Raju is hopping and rocking the Himalayan hearts around the world these days!

Globally, 204 countries play to qualify for the tournament which happens every 4 years. In the finals 32 teams compete tooth and nail to grab that one trophy made of gold. Locally, the Yetis of HimSoc organized a Watching Together party to watch Spain and Nederland tussle for the top spot for 2010. It's all about numbers...One Yeti provided the space, another yeti brought his Flat 42 inch screen, two yetis transported 5 items of Chinese food, about 30 yetis ate and watched The Finals together, which according to FIFA, is watched by 700 million world wide.

Hamro First Cup

by Pahilo Jeet
Richmond. June 5. The legendary warriors of this planet is often known and referred by their famous roar - Aayo Gorkhali!. Today, when the yetis of Himalayan Soccer Club of BC (HimSoc) played their first competitive soccer tournament to win the second one day soccer tournament Sai Baba Soccer Cup at South Arm Community Center soccer field in Richmond, the energy and the Josh to take the cup home was like -Aayo Yetis!
Four amateur teams from Lower Mainland participated to compete for the coveted trophy, Richmond's South Arm-I & South Arm-II, Sai BC and HimSoc. Superlatively in tune to win or atleast perform the best, HimSoc yetis meant business from the first minute to the last. Yetis reached the finals beating South Arm-I with a fair score of 5-1.
"You guys play like professionals," said one lady who was watching yetis play their game and - I was like... Sure enough, yetis appeared quite professional today in their freshly painted soccer numbers on their blue jerseys. In a nail gripping final game against South Arm-II, HimSoc took the lead with 2-1 until half-time. At one point during the second half the fate of Yetis hung at 50-50 when there was a surprise equalizer (2-2) by South Arm-II. Yetis were loosing their breath from the long day, stamina was falling apart but the golden goal by yeti Bali wrote a happy story for HimSoc, upseting the reigning champs with 3-2 score. The last whistle called the surge of yaaaaa-hee-haaaaaaa...and all the ecstatic sounds possibly human can make by players and the supporters alike. Perhaps, the taste of hard earned victory simply turned yeti`s excitement into ecstasy! Amidst the sounds hee-haa, the Sai Baba Soccer Cup 2010 was presented to HimSoc captains Anuj and Suman by the organizer, Mr. Venkat Rao himself, who is best known to all as My Friend! Soon team HimSoc posed for a group photograph and was followed by individual shoot with the coveted trophy. Yetis decided to end the long day with a short stay at The Pioneer Pub to do some quick cheers to celebrate Hamro First Cup.

Special Majja Day

By Sundar Sunday

Sooorry. April 25: Yetis are popular to maintain Nepali time -you know- but today it was a delight to see yetis showing up in dot time to kick HimSoc`s Special Game with Joos-Soos plus referee at Bear Creek Park in Surrey. But on the other side, it was catastrophic to see our lush green soccer field bustling with Fijian Soccer League! Looking at the charged atmosphere, our pro-referee Tony looked very excited and assumingly said, “So you guys are playing next, eh?”
As soon he learnt that HimSoc Yetis will now hunt for the nearest vacant soccer field, he quipped, “Next time you guys better book the field.”
Anyways, the climax of the story ended up at a beautiful quiet and cozy soccer field very next to our host Sharad yetis Ghar Party venue. Few yetis planned to play Vancouver vs Surrey by putting our new yetis from Coquitlam on Surrey side but looking at the line-up, yetis ended to play a balanced Raato and Neelo. Our referee showed up in his pro-ref garb and matchingly, our yetis entered in their Blue and Red jerseys -imported from Nepal. The sight was special, with pleasant golden sun rays beating beautifully on Blue and Red across the green field. Wow!
Tony`s whistle blew to kick-off the much awaited monthly Special Game. Neelo lead the first half with 1-0 lead and after half-time Raato equalised but soon Neelo scored to lead until the last minute when Raato again equalized to end the game with 2-2 score. Tony left and Yetis kinda debated for a Bhalle Goal but after a quick joos-soos and a quick fun photo session that followed, yeti's josh for Bhalle Goal was renewed into BBQed Bhalle Legs! By the time hungry but happy Yetis reached the Party Ghar, the host yeti Sharad had already kicked–off his second favorite sport of the day to BBQ 52lbs of masaala chicken and 2lbs of marinated veggies to host a Special Majja Day for himsoc yetis. They didn`t say loud but their faces said, "Hee-Haa!"

The Ball's Out

By Golly Crazy

Raincouver. March 21:Perhaps, hundreds of years ago those men who kicked the round thing for the first time in human history to call it soccer or football or golly -felt the same way- as the Yetis of HimSoc did today, when they kicked-off their 2010 soccer season. Hee Haa! The Best Place on Earth, so called, is notorious for its tricky weather for kickers like us who are bit shy to rub shoulders in rain, uncovered. But today, Yetis wrote history differently by defeating the drizzle and coming out all the way from their bed and kicking-off 2010 season when it was pouring! Waving his new long hair Lhundup exclaimed, "Rain on opening day is good luck."
The caps Suman, Anuj were the early birds to assemble along with yeti chaps Biju, Susan, Biman, Karma and Lhundup. Soon Golly Crazy from Surrey yeti Niraj, Pritam and Anish joined in. Nima was next. Basant came. Sharad came, minus his hyped Bhutanese footballers. Deepak showed up and later became the first Yeti to score the first goal of the season. Roshan showed up not to play. Finally, Prem graced the gravel with his sweet little Riya and they were the only spectators for the great day.
The soccer josh in Yetis was so hot and amplifying that the day cleared up soon and the pouring rain stopped miraculously, only for Yetis? Yes, kicked-off!
