update

i am only a day into my travels but it has been a bumpy start. we arrive at dwt with time to spare. in typical fashion, checking the baggage was a huge ordeal. they lost our bag right at the counter! after taking a few seconds, we asked to the clerk to go to search the baggage area. he was reluctant but mentioning our volunteer work did the trick. with the four bags found we headed for security check for our 5.30 flight - no probs. at the gate we found out that the scheduled 1pm flight had just returned to the gate. next announcement 3pm flight to o'hare canceled. o'hare was fogged in with 16th of a mile visibility - hundreds of flights canceled:

lucky for us we had the right plane with the right pilot - an advanced navigational system and an experienced pilot.

fluttering silk ... a nepalese folk song



Resham phiriri, Resham phiriri,
Udera jaau ki daandaamaa bhanjyang Resham phiriri.


My heart is fluttering like silk in the wind
I cannot decide whether to fly or sit on the hill top

kodu charyo, makai charyo, dhan chareko china,

Na au kanchi, Pachi pachi, manpareko china.


Millet is planted, corn is planted, but not the rice
Don’t follow me little girl, because I don’t like you.

Resham phiriri, Resham phiriri,
Udera jaau ki daandaamaa bhanjyang Resham phiriri.


My heart is fluttering like silk in the wind
I cannot decide whether to fly or sit on the hill top

Kukuralaai kuti kuti biraalo laai suri
Timro haamro maayaa priti, dobato ma kuri


To the dog it’s puppy, puppy, to the cat it’s meow meow
Our love is waiting at the crossroads

Resham phiriri, Resham phiriri,
Udera jaau ki daandaamaa bhanjyang Resham phiriri.


My heart is fluttering like silk in the wind
I cannot decide whether to fly
or sit on the hill top
