Laxmi Pd. Devkota's birthday anniversary. The dude's my hero.
Also: I still know A LOT of verses from Muna Madan by heart. And from Ramayan. And from Misc.Nepali poems by other poets. But specially from Muna Madan, because singing it aloud
So...
Nachodi jaanus, hey mera praana, akeli malaai
Manako banmaa nanibhne gari biraha jalaaee
Lochan kaa taaraa hey meraa pyaaraa yo jyoti bilaaye
Bhanu kayy, bhanne ma thieenaa bisha nai pilaaye
Pyara Bisha nai pilaaye
And I am singing it aloud. Like, right now.
Also, Devkota is one of my big dream projects. I am making a frikkin' big 'biopic' on it when I have can...
Ad for the film Devkota...
An unseen voice:
You don't understand! Setting a Mars base is no big deal. I bet we'll do it within our lifetime...
['From the makers of blah blah blah, produced by blah directed by blah', and some very very dramatic music. Sky cityscape shot of Kathmandu, zooms into a party where a dude with HUUGE forehead is talking to someone, a cigaret in one hand, whisky in another]
[It becomes obvious that the man was previously speaking. He's of course, Devkota]
Devkota, surrounded by thick cloud of some[loudly and more fiercely this time]:
Our relations with Korea need not depend on what they they want. We must go on with the deal.
[really fast music, and some more quick shots of important scenes]
[A large cloud is giving a standing ovation in a posh hall to Devkota, as he speaks]
Devkota[histrionics, and overacting, slightly drunk]:
Our rivers flow into each other. Our history is an intermingling patchwork of cooperation. WE have never been closer. Lets all of us celebrate our fate which we were all ultimately destined to. We are together, and we always will be. WE ARE TOGETHER AND WILL ALWAYS WILL BE....
[subdued music]
[in some park, Devkota's talking to some person in overcoat]
Devkota[surrounded by a thick cloud of smoke]:
I am not in a position to give the secrets to you, but let me assure you, they really have perfected fission. Humanity will never be the same again. [The other person gives a nervous laugh]
[Camera does some more quick shots, and then a cityscape from high above the ground. Zooms into a house which seems to be on fire... Camera circles around Devkota for several seconds. A pile of paper burns fiercely as he tries pulling his hair]
Devkota[sobbing and crying]:
HO SAATHI, MA PAAGAL! HO MA PAAGAL, SAAATHI! MA PAAGAL! MA Paaa-Gallll......
[Hushed voices, cries, random shots, shots from Aryaghat. A TV is on. The voice becomes increasingly coherent as the shot moves towards the corpse of Devkota]
Anchor:
... NASA has confirmed that the first permanent human settlement in MARS has been established 7.49 Nepali local time.
[an alarm clock is broken at 7.50, and it keeps on beeping]
DEVKOTA IS DEAD! DEVKOTA IS DEAD! DEVKOTA IS DEAD!
Intro ends... Date of release, et al.
