he read my last name and asked

"Oh, are you in anyway related to Bhupi?"

and i think "there we go"

if i were in any way related to Bhupi,

I would not have had to learn who he was through Sankar Lamichhane's book.

I am telling you,

it brought out the funny, the generous, the carefree, the humble out of Bhupi.

I envy Bhupi for being who he is.

I envy Lamichhane for knowing him well enough to write about him

and I envy those who could have actually answered to that question in affirmative.

My father once told me Bhupi used to go to a restaurant where he used to stay and drink a lot.

i dont think he understands that Bhupi is a poet

(Bhupi is a poet not was a poet)
