Last week, SLC results were out and gone. Yea! Gone is how I would like to define it. Let me take you back to the 90's.( If you are not the baby from that millennium, you will not get the feel of it but again we all have our own perks of growing up in our own decades.)

I don't know how kids these days feel about SLC but back in our time ( yes I am as old as a fine wine) the only thing our parents, family, relatives, neighbors, neighbor's cousin and their relatives and then the uncle from your dad's office, and the aunty you meet at the vegetable vendor had one thing and only one thing to say, “ SLC ma ramro marks lyaunu parcha ani pugyo”.

This was the only argument mum used to give,” SLC sakka ani J garna chha garlas”. Like life will be adventure after SLC. To some extend that 3 months were fun. I don't know about others but I had my share of fun of loitering in newroad, bishalbazzar and kingsway (side hanna lai) and attending every concert happening in Kathmandu, having momos in the nook and corners of the city (that is fun for kids from the 90s DUH)

Anyway, the anticipation arises, when there are rumors that the results are going to come either this week or next week. There were never a particular day allocated, like these days they declare the time and date of the results. So, it could be today, tomorrow, Thursday.....Na not on Saturday coz no government work will be done on a holiday.(it has not changed till today, LOL). And what is this app and online thing?? NOOO I come from an era where there is 1 phone line for the whole family, joint or nuclear, that is if you belong to a privileged family of K-town. Or else you have to rely on your neighbor's phone.

During my didi's SLC year, one of my cousin, who is an engineer was hired by NTC on a temporary basis for the data tabulation of the results. He was in the office for 2 whole days, because the government thought these guys know the results and they would leak it out. (you remember the system of board 10?). So that year as soon as he was released, he came to our place at 4:30 in the morning to tell my sister her results. I didnt have that privilege in my year.

And one fine day, you get an early morning call from your super smart aunt who lives in new road that the results are out. I am sure some of your will related to what I am going to say next, is this ritual of rushing to Newroad, to Gorkhapatra Sansthan to get your copy of the newspaper. The entire city has poured into that one place. And people who are not from Kathmandu, would give their relatives their symbol no. to be checked asap.( Coz they would have gotten the papers, in 24 hours to the earliest).

(rumor:- Gorkhapatra Sansthan used to earn so much in that one day which was enough to run the corporation for a year. )

Now, when I got my copy, I looked for my no. in the list of second division, just in case I got REALLY unlucky. When you don't find it there, you are confident that it is surely in the first division if not in the distinction part. Well to dream of distinction during our time was for the top 10 students of the whole batch and I am not one of them.And dhak dhak dhak dhak!! I found my no. YEAAA first division!!!! No GPA shit back then.....plain first division. My mum hugged and squeezed me ( I wonder if they hug their kids for just 1^st division these days *ponder * ) and I was happy.

I look back every year when SLC results are out and curse, how the kids are being lied that, it is the end of their struggle when it is JUST the beginning of a stressful life where you need to start thinking of your career and shit. A big f#%k to those people who started this lie. How happy I was when I was throwing a party and treating everyone with laddoos and mithais as if I have won a war. TAIT!

I say Good luck rather than Congratulation these days coz they need it more for the future endeavors! For the rest who have been there done that....well well just remember your own time and laugh about it like I just did :P.

Thahachaena,

ma sadhai Almond khanchu tesaile hola memory sharp bhayeko :P
khai hamra pala ma chahi thiyo hai distinction section....but funny is that they change the pattern everyyear..this year SLC is gone for GPA system.

no more crush,

thank you for taking out time for the reply....if I ever go to SLC aka Salt Lake City...will visit Nostalgia cafe...."I apology"(feeling Karishma Manandhar) if I have triggered any lost memories for you.

My fellow aquarian,

Saprasang byakha sochda aahile feri tauko rananananana dukhyo....jatti lekhey ni marks na aaune....i never cursed the poets though.....I they they are sooo creative :) but yea....the bubble was busted that it is the iron gate.

JamesBonds chahi bhai nai paryo jasto chha ( dont worry bhai bhandina)

tehi ta timile bhaneko kura pani sahi ho k....jpt distinction lyayeka haru le nai sansar dhanla bhanera garchan k.....I think it is important that the kid who had scored a second div needs so much more motivation than the distinction holder. he is the one who is disheartened. Schools always forgets that.

James bhai..... figure salary....decent house...and you seem like a good guy.....gf cha ki nai....nabhaye bahini haru chan mera....kura chalau? SLC markssheet magdina :P

opps I was wondering why sojoketo is calling me Aunty but its SOJOKETI.....well sister...I love your attitude and your confidence....Yes we women do have the ability to manupulate guys if I needed....tan dhan mann le manipulations.

for me I was on the other side....I used to help my friends with the answers....even if i am pretty....Not as much as you are though :)

keep your breasts tight and natural.....you are beautiful!

haha Ambrosia,
I do not mind being called bhai.

gf हरु त थिए पहिले तर struggle को टाइम मा टिकेनन, अब राम्रो दिन मा सम्झन मन छैन.

ओह्हो, अहिले उमेर नै त्येस्तै भएर हो कि, यो "बिहे को कुरा चालाम" भनेको सुनेको सुनेइ छु. काकी, भाउजु, सानिमा, छिमेकी आन्टी, रूम मेट, अफिस मा संगै काम गर्ने साथी, भए भर ले कुरा ल्याउदै छन् अहिले लोल. सबलाई next year , next year भन्दै बसेको छु. हेर्दै जाम, के थाहा कुरा मिलिहाल्छ कि? साथी हरु नेपाल जादै भर्खर १२ सक्कको १७-१८ क फुच्ची हरु बिहे गर्दै आउदै छन्, मलाई चाहिं अलि पचेको छैन त्यो कुरा.

Ambrosia Dijjuu,
sojoketo vs sojoketi: he might have a thing(LOL), i have a girly stuff that almost all guys crave for 24/7 :)
Oh Yea! My breast is natural and pretty tight although my bf keeps playing with it like a kid all the time and says he couldn't sleep unless he put his hand inside my bra. what a jerk he is, sweet and nice one though.

ब्रो ले जस्तै मैले पनि ISc (नेपाली मा त 'इस्क' रे :) ) पछि पढेको थिए 'सम्भोग हे समधिके ओर ' \ तर प्रेम वियोग भएर होइन \ तेसबेला साथीहरु को circle मा येस्ता धेरै पुस्तक पढेर बिद्द्वन भै टोपल्ने fashion नै चलेको थियो \ धेरै वर्ष बाद ब्रो ले याद दिलाइदिनु भो \ फेरि पढ्नु पर्ला \ तर आजकल जन-जीविकाको कारणले अलि time लिएर पढ्नु पर्ने serious पुस्तक पढ्न पाएको छैन वा mood तेती छैन \ तर पनि स्वामी आनन्द अरुणको interview र प्रबचन कहिले कहिँ सुन्छु \ गुरुदेवको message एकदम सहि छ ब्रो \ जे कुरा लाई बर्जित गर्न खोज्यो तेसैले दिमागलाई बन्धक बनाउछ \

bond bhai,
aaba 30 tira pugna lagyo bhaneko le.....17-18 will be too much for you....jo sukai biha gara tara compatibility chahi hunnu parcha hai....that is a must!

अब यहाँ SLC को कुरो चल्दै गर्दा अनि सबै महान विद्वान् तथा उच्च शिक्षाको लागि बिदेशीयेका लहुरेहरुको गन्थन चल्दै गर्दा, SLC को अब्मुल्यन तथा घोर अपमान हुन थल्यो जस्तो छ। लु यहाँ पढ्नुस real Nepal कहाँ छ र त्यहा यो Slc को कत्तिको महत्त्व छ।

मुगुको पिना गाविसको मुन्दु गाउँमा अहिलेसम्म एक जनाले पनि एसएलसी उत्तीर्ण गर्न सकेका छैनन् ।

करिब ५३ घरधुरी रहेको गाउँ एसएलसीविहीन छ । गाउँमा प्राथमिक विद्यालय छ । कक्षा ५ देखि माथि पढ्न चार घण्टा हिँडेर टोप्ला नामक गाउँ पुग्नुपर्छ । टाढा भएकाले प्राथमिक तहमै पढाइ छाड्ने गरेका छन् ।

यस गाउँबाट अहिलेसम्म १२ जनाले एसएलसी दिएका छन् । उत्तीर्ण भने कसैले गर्न सकेका छैनन् । गाउँमा लेखापढी गर्नु परे छिमेकी गाउँ कोटीलाबाट मान्छे खोजेर ल्याउनुपर्छ ।

‘लाजमर्दो अवस्था छ, यत्रो गाउँमा अहिलेसम्म एक जनाले पनि एसएलसी पास गरेका छैनन्,’ ६० वर्षीय सिहरूप बोहराले भने, ‘चिठीपत्र, तमसुक हेर्ने र लेख्न मान्छे छैनन् ।’

युवा जति पढाइ छाडेर खेतीपाती र भेडापालनमा लागेका छन् । गाविसका समाजसेवी हरिचन्द शाहीले भने, ‘पढाइलेखाइ छैन, स्वास्थ्यको स्थिति राम्रो छैन । राज्यको सेवा सुविधा पनि पुगेको छैन ।’
