I have finally settled in beautiful Dhulikhel where I will work for a year. The place is about an hour to four hours drive east of Kathmandu depending on the traffic. On the first day of work, I met with all of my new colleague and I had a tour of the Campus. There were a lot of Nepali names to comprehend so I usually mixed it up or pretended to remember by coughing when uttering names.
I have several bosses; my FK boss in Dhulikhel is Subodh Sir, who is a dedicated and energetic scientist and professor. Roshan Sir is Subodh Sir’s colleague and shares responsibility for me. He is the person to go to for all pratical things like paying bills etc.
The there is the department of Language and Mass Communication that I work in, my boss there is Janga B. Sir, and is a pleasant older gentleman, who managed to make me read Norwegian poem at the Russian Cultural Center the first week of work. I had chosen Arnulf Øverland’s Du Må Ikke Sove, and I read it in front of twenty well know Kathmandu poets, as well as some Russian and Chinese guests. The event was also covered by Kathmandu newspapers that put my name in the paper the next day…
Then there is Nirmala Sir, how is my boss within media studies, a workaholic who by the age of 31 has managed to publish 26 books! He is a dedicated Hindu who has worked on a Hindu based model of communication, very fascinatingJ Nirmala have together with my colleague Kangendra, given me a schedule of classes that they would like me to teach, including Crisis Management in PR and journalism, its been a while, but I will do my best.
This week, was also a week of practical things. Subodh and Roshan Sir took me around Dhulihel to visit a couple of potential places that I could move into. The farmhouse, that I had hear about even before arriving in Dhulikhel was a very
sharming little hide out on the outskirts of campus, it had a common room with a stove, sofa and TV, and a bedroom. The bed, however, had to be made my size before moving in, and the shower was located outside in the garden. It had a brilliant heating system that used gas to heat the water as it passed through, but there was almost no pressure, so I requested some modifications to the facilities.
The second location was in outskirts of Dhulikhel and quite far from KU. It was the place where Siv and Vegard, my predecessors had lived. It was a beautiful flat with balcony, kitchen, an extra bedroom etc. but the thought of having to spend 45 min to get to work every day discouraged me. Subodh Sir told me that they also had I third option in mind, but until now they have not managed to set a date for viewing it. Until then I have decided to stay in my hotel room at the KU International Center.
