यस्तो जाठो पात कन्स्रट त जीन्दगीमा गाको नी थीइन अब जाठो जानू नी नपरोस। बीचारा १९७४ ई.सं :) को कत्रो बेईज्जत । ड्यालसका तोर्पेहरूले ठूलो बेईज्जत गरे। थूई्ईया !

आधी गाग्रो  !

खासमा मलाई यो धागोमा लेख्न पुगिसकेको थियो, लेख्न मन लागेको कुरा लेखिसके अब जति लेखे पनि हुनेवाला केही होइन...

तर रिडल ब्रोलाई सानो जानकारी दिन चाहन्छु..

म अङ्रेजी भाषाको जानिफकार होइन त्यसकारण leg pulling को अर्थ अङ्रेजीमा अर्कै भए मलाई थाहा भएन ..

तर हामी सबैले सधैं दोहराउने गरेको नेपालीहरुको खुट्टा तान्ने बानीलाई लक्षित गरेर रिडलले leg pulling लेखेको भए यसको प्रयोगको बारेमा केही भन्न चाहन्छु

यदी मैले तिम्रो अगाडि चाँही रिडल ब्रो तिमी क्या स्मार्ट यार भनेर ठीक्क पार्ने तर तिमीले कुनै राम्रो कम्पनीमा राम्रो जब पाउन लागेको बेला सुटुक्क गएर त्यो रिडल भन्ने त लास्टै ठिस र ओजे छ, चाहिने नचाहिने कुरामा निउँ खोजेर बस्छ त्यसलाई काम दिनु हुन्न है भनेर चुक्ली लगाए भने मैले तिम्रो खुट्टा तानेको ठहर्छ ...

यहाँ त सबैले एउटा कार्यक्रम हेरेर आइसके पछी त्यो कार्यक्रम राम्रो भएन, एउटा कुरा भनेर अर्कै कुरा गरे भनेर गुनासो मात्र गरिरहेका छन् र जहाँसम्म लाग्छ यसलाई खुटा तान्नु भनिदैन होला ...

खुट्टा तान्नुको खास अर्थ अगाडि बढ्न नदिनु, प्रगति गर्नबाट रोक्नु हो ..
यहाँ त कार्यक्रम गर्नेले कार्यक्रम गरिसके, उठाउने पैसा उठाइसके... त्यसकारण खुट्टा तान्ने प्रयोग गर्नु अलि सान्दर्भिक भएन कि भन्न खोजेको हो

यदी कार्यक्रमका आयोजकहरु बुद्दिमान हुन् भने यसलाई तिमीले भने जस्तै प्रतिकार गर्नुको सट्टा स्वस्थ्य सुझावको रुपमा लिएको बेस हुन्थ्यो ।

र म तिम्रो प्रतिकृया पढेर सिरियस भएको थिइन, मज्जाले हाँसिरहेको थिए.. शायद तिमीले मैले लेखेको पहिलो वाक्य देखेन होला ....

लौ त अबलाई यो धागोमा मेरो प्रतिकृयाहरुको बिट मार्ने अनुमति चाहन्छु ....

Rofl !!

In english pulling someone's leg means fooling someone.
In Nepali, khutta taanne has connotations of back biting.

GT made it clear...by saying $25 ticket price did not justify the venue, does not mean we are pulling anyone's legs. Maybe the organizers will do a better job next time. I am sure they put in a lot of effort to get the whole thing together and for spending that time we should acknowledge them, however with lot of people complaining about the venue it does reflect that they were not happy with what they had paid for and the show the organizers short coming.

maybe ram80520 has a different opinion....he will uthi baash garing everyone if they talk too much. I am still not sure if he is talking for the organizers or against the organizer.

Geology tiger already admitted that he may not know the meaning of 'leg pulling' but the way he described 'khutta taan-ney' in Nepali context is very accurate.
btw,
'leg pulling' itself as a phrase has a literal meaning , that means grabbing someone's leg and pulling
'pulling one's leg' has a figurative meaning which means to 'fool someone'.

In the context of 'leg',
खुट्टा निदाउनु - which is the tingling feeling due to the lack of proper blood circulation
I've heard some of my Nepalese friends saying 'my leg sleep', or 'my leg slept', being Nepalese I made a sense.
I think the proper use would be, "my foot fell asleep"

Am not trying to be a English lecturer, just sharing what I know. Hope you take it not in another way.

 Whoa, smart asses! I know the difference between leg pulling and khutta taning. And I do stand corrected. 

Anyway, GT bro, I found a bit insulted by this. "ani katipaye afule thaha nabhayeko kura ma boleko bhanda nabolekai ramro bro"

What's there to know on this context? If anything, you seemed to have completely ignored the reason why I found some criticisms as unreasonable. Whilst I totally agree that the organizers should probably own up if they failed to live-up to the expectations, I still don't find it plausible that asswipes like fat beast are complaining about "expensive" ticket prices. And there were some who took it down to a different level - by comparing ticket prices to concerts of Coldplay and Aerosmith. These geniuses seemed to have completely ignored the fact that when 10-40 thousand people go see a big concert, it's reasonable for a concert price to be so low (kinda like Times of India being sold for 2 rupees while Kantipur's being sold for 4)? 

I can't see how organizers would've managed to cover all the costs incurred to sponsor Nepal's greatest rock band, pay for their accomodation and on top of that, make profit. If 10,000 Nepalese were going to attend the concert then there's no way the cost would've been 40 bucks. 

And I hadn't really read any of your posts prior to the one addressed to me. If you're gonna nitpick on petty things like ticket prices, you're likely to find shortcomings in anything else. 

Guys,

I have attended many nepali concerts here in US where the ticket prices were $20 - $30. Those concerts were held in a college auditorium, highschoold auditorium or a local community auditorium. I attended those concerts in places like Omaha, Denver, and Minneapolis where there are very few Nepali folks compared to Dallas. Those organizers were able to give mediocre bands of Nepal some respect of being a musicians. The issue is not whether the ticket price was fair or not. The god damn issue is that how dare they bring 1974 AD in an Indian Dhaba Resturant hall. Do none of you see this as an insult to the band and its fans.

Now, it has made me think about 1974 AD band itself. Do they not check the background of the organizers? Do they not have any standards? or do they just go wherever they are called by whomever??? If they want to stay number # and be respected as a number one band they need to say no to performing at Indian Dhaba.

The band doesnt have an issue with playing in an indian dhaba...why should you?

I'd imagine 1974 AD not doing a concert for a mediocre some, unlike many Nepali artists and that could be the reason why their price had to be set high (GT bro probably knows all about this though, I'm only guesstimating). 

Re: Venue, maybe it's not easy/cheap to rent big halls in Texas as opposed to other states? I know for sure that it's almost unimaginable to rent big halls for concerts in states like CA because you won't be able to collect the cost incurred to rent those places alone! 

you found it bit insulting wheen GT daaai said. "ani katipaye afule thaha nabhayeko kura ma boleko bhanda nabolekai ramro bro"

tell me that was the first time someone ever suggested thou not to try and shit above your ass! आधी गाग्रो !

 28th, I wasn't serious about what I said. Why so serious, son? Chill. 

no no, you were serious! i know you were serious. you just werent sure, just like most of the time when you are posting ur meaningless "i know it all" comments in sajha. so, next time when you are about to post something, pls make sure you dont have to end an arguement with a 20 year old saying "i was just saying, son".

lots of love
28th

 I can see that you edited your original post, too. We'll go for beer when I come down there for ANA hai. 

That's the spirit folks.. We would make a good friends.. ha ha ha..

A clip for 1974AD Dallas TX concert, No matter how the concert was organized, everyone seem to enjoy it. NOT intended to start a discussion.. just posting a vdo. thnx

Hehe all I can see in that video is an awesome band playing awesome music with crappy instrument and 5 retards from nisarga band head banging where it seems completely unnecessary! I couldn't  see any normal audience enjoying like you mentioned, sir. Sorry!

I personally didn’t mind the venue but the sound for me was crappy and of very low standards. Maybe because of the speakers or lack of Sound Engineer at the venue.

Headbangin??? Somebody plz shoot me!

US Consulate don't want to give visa to Sound Engineer. LOL!
