Carpe Diem

After my last post, I think a proper introduction to this place should be made. I talked about Carpe Diem before though, but now I'll introduce you to its everyday nights.

My last week meant spending all the nights in here. Beer, generally good food and good music are the most attractive qualities of this local. It's run by Nepali guys, some of whom might get a bit too permissive with girls. However, they are very friendly, always trying to remember your name and always remembering your face, ready to say hi and make your stay comfortable.

On Thursdays there was always a jam session where anyone could play. I got to see two of these sessions, and though Shambo and Rohan played most of the songs, sometimes foreigners joined. And here is were I'll talk about Allister. A brit guy that seem to be everywhere. He had this awful mohawk and explained this fantastic stories which no one believed. On his turn at the Jam session, and any time he had the opportunity to do so, he played this horrible song about killing a judge and raping his wife. Not to say he was out of place most of the times, I was lucky enough not to have to talk with him personally. Bad luck for the Irish, as he had asked them if he could travel with them to Manali, and Jamie, very carefully diverted the conversation into something else. However, there he was!

Again with Carpe Diem, the rest of the nights were basically spent around a fire on the rooftop listening to the same music again and again. I must say, I started to hate Coldplay and Bob Marley, the hits of the Nepali guys.

However, it was a good place to meet people and chill out for a while. If you were not interested in the music, you could just chill out in the cushions on the roof top.
