एउटा प्रश्न

जलेर अंगारिएको तिम्रो मन,

सबै अंग फालेपछि 

निको सम्झेर

आत्मरतिमा रमाउदा

म के भनू  ?

Translation
A Question
Your ember heart,
After having all organs thrown
If gets elated
Should I say anything?

I am in your country to answer!

"Why did you choose?"
Dazzled I was to respond.
What drove me then?
Enthusiasm! Would be a teenager's response!!
Then why?

Trauma of Maoist Insurgency in Literature

Ten years of Maoist insurgency in Nepal, launched by Communist Party of Nepal-Maoist (CPN-M) from February 1996 to November 2006, has inflicted some horrendous cases of traumatic experience. In statistical terms, around 17,000 were killed, 1500 disappeared, 75,000 injured and 250,000 internally displaced. The reality not acknowledged by the numeral above sounds equally horrible: countless people were tortured, raped,abducted and physically brutalized. Simply, it means the period has punctuated memory of a large number of people and become the subject of fairly substantial body of writing. The writings reveal variety in both the subject matter and the perspectives: a number of accounts record views of combatants/security forces; many other present reporting of media correspondents and a considerable number provide findings of researchers. In brief, the texts that ground on insurgency vary from analytical accounts to narrative representations.

Retrospecting Chandigarh to Goa

We had to leave Nepal and to leave! The first was not easy but the second one was more difficult as it needed avoidance due to a compulsion to retort.

My friend Hem Raj Kafle and I had decided to escape in winter vacation to join conference in Chandigarh via the west of Nepal: an untrodden path in our series of journey to India. Earlier, we had been together to Gujarat. 

One and half day bus journey from Kathmandu till we met Bal Krishna ji in Mahendranagar was not an adventure for us. Neither was it tiresome may be because of Bal Krishna ji's sense of hospitality. 

The real adventure began across the border: around half an hour journey by a cart pulled by horse in very rough road. Any traveler via this road surely agrees.

(No/know)ledge

just a crack!
when you fail to mend,
you spill the world
to become nothing.
A destiny for (no)ledge!

उसको मोबाइल

साइलेन्ट मोडमा नराखेको उसको मोबाइल

मौनधारण गर्दागर्दै बज्न थालेपछि

गरोस् के बिचरा उसले ?

सबैले उतिरै आँखा तेस्र्याएपछि !

घडी हेरोस् कि, बाहिर निस्कियोस् ?

मोबाइल अफ गरोस् कि, धन्यबाद पर्खियोस् ?

सोच्यो, अनि गालि ठोक्यो मनमनै

त्यो साले नमरेको भए हुन्थ्यो नि !
