Great Moments In Nepali History: Episode V

A Day to Give Thanks

The Nepali thought the he had experienced most of American Culture. He had seen the American movies, had drank beer from a keg, and had even watched a little American football. He, however, hadn't experienced a true Thanksgiving dinner. That was soon to change.

Ironically, his first Thanksgiving dinner did not take place in America or even on Thanksgiving. It took place in lovely London, England and was the Sunday before Thanksgiving. It was at a former roommate's house whose parents and along with the roommate felt compelled to follow the Nepali on his year abroad in London.

The Nepali arrived for the dinner impeccably dressed as always. He familiarized himself with the layout of the house, and decided to set up shop downstairs, near the food and the TV. Being Hindu, Sundays were not a day of rest for him. The Nepali had a complicated business assignment to do for class. After boggling his host's mind with the complexity of the assignment, the Nepali decided to have some salmon rolls as an appetizer accompanied with a couple of refreshing bottles of lager.

His homework needed to be done so the Nepali deftly called his partners on the project, encouraged them to complete their tasks, and was also able to receive guidance on how best to complete his task. After three minutes of conversation, the Nepali knew that he could put his homework away for it was as good as done. He had made his expectations clear to his partners and he was sure that both his part and his partner's assignments would be completed to satsifaction.

After finishing up with some ale, the Nepali sat down for some light Xboxing. When he was through obliterating the evil Covenant forces and becoming the savior of the human race, the Nepali ate his turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, and his favorite, cranberry sauce. After eating a healthy amount of food, the Nepali was feeling a bit drowsy. His hosts thanked him for coming and the Nepali journeyed back to his quarters where he enjoyed a satisfying nap. For the Nepali, his first thanksgiving was a truly joyous occasion.

Moral of the Story: Food, beer, video games, and delegating equal one jolly Nepali.
