Kathmandu: Bahana Bahadur, who works for a financial service
company, used to return home by 5:30 PM every day. He did not know returning
home early will be so ‘unimpressive’ thing to do as he saw in the eyes of his
in-laws.
While talking to us on the reason for the same, Bahana
Bahadur said, “My wife's parents came here after visiting their younger
daughter and son-in-law’s house. Her mother constantly talked about how their
junior son-in-law who is a IT professional works so ‘hard’. Leaves home early
and never returns before mid-night.” After hearing to her mother’s constant feedback, his wife
also started doubting.
He added, “It was not only in the eyes of my in-laws, I was
falling rapidly in the eyes of my own wife. There I decided, till my in-laws
are here I will not return home till midnight. Even if that means I will miss
my favorite TV programs, Monaco biscuits with chiya at home, so be it. Quarter
End was a perfect reason to start with.”
Bahana Bahadur said, “my biggest challenge was to keep
myself busy till midnight. Since I am an HR professional, my usual day is well
spent playing Candy Crush. Can not disturb my office colleagues in the evening as
whatever chit-chat we were supposed to do already done at office in the day
time. Thought will catch some movies. With movies like Tiger Zinda Hein playing
in theatres, watching it once itself is challenge,”
He roamed around the malls till they are closed and then
returned home taking the long traffic route. “Every single security person in
malls knows, I am the one who roamed here five hours without buying anything.”
