Putalisadak Revisited
The continuous beep of the alarm and I was off the bed. As the matter of fact, I just completed my studies and I’m waiting for the transcript. So what more, it’s time to head towards same old destination; Putalisadak. When you are in between the studies it’s the best place to hang out. Reasons, I can give few of them. First agree or not everyone’s cooking something big in their head so it’s Putalisadak which help you to provide the fine recipe. Second you have a dream; Putalisadak will give you even the bigger one. And the cost, 10 grand for the trimester. No matter which door you went through the cheerful girl on the front desk will draw a browser toward you and says ‘It’s ten thousand for the course and I bet it’s the best you can get’.
The best thing I enjoyed while walking on the street of Putalisadak is reading the hoarding board. From Statue of liberty to Eifel Tower, Sydney Opera to London Bridge the dream Putalisadak shares are bigger than the seven wonders of world. I bet 90% of them say they make dream comes true. Other 10% I think I remember them easily. Five years back, the big one on new plaza by the side of Padmodaye High School always showed latest release in Jay Nepal and Kumari Hall but now it’s the latest release in QFX Cinema. Back then it was Manisha Koirala with the cute smile in Pepsi Ye Dil Mage More but now its Katrina Kaif and her sexy lips in Mango Slice Rasile Aaap ki Swaad. Apart from the changes there are some addition, like Rajesh Hamal in Prime Life Insurance Sunnya wa Tin Bichar Garau ek chin, Rekha Thapa in UTL, and not to forget the big fish NCell with its latest scheme.
Considering about the success, I can’t say much because I’m not he lucky one. But after so many years my belief on Putalisadak has not decrease a bit. Many things have changed in last five years, my hair got less and brain grew bigger. I was the confused teen now I’m a clear headed guy. I know what I want. But one thing never changed for me and I hope for thousands of young brains who scale the street between Singha Durbar and Kamaladi everyday. It’s the belief in Putalisadak. No matter whether you are a good or bad cook, you never think twice about spending that 10 grand on the recipe the Putalisadak offer you.
