My Martyrdom

Quite often,
I become a martyr of my good intention;
Words swirl my mind in reflection
With a blister in heart.
I inquire in naivity
Whether intentions are so un-codable.
In desperation, I recall creation myth
To inquire, if god would have used
'Let there be light'
Being afraid of intention coders!

Two prompts!

The writing I tried after two prompts (Literary Society, University of Limerick): eclipse in the sun from space & I am pregnant

Space, my granny would say, has value of peculiar type. It can be a vessel to fill in or yet-to-be-materialized terrain with curiosity. What is it going to be for me? Curiosity or vessel? Maybe it counts different for you!

Your words resound, "I find solar eclipse from space very curious."

"So what?", I had said in desperation.

Now, the space inside me has been solar eclipse for radiation gaze. You see no life in the eclipse and yet enjoy; I can't. What a pity! I have your eclipse inside and you are searching outside. I murmur, why are you away when I need you? Not even nine months!

Likely that you will find more joy than seeing eclipse. It will be your own curiosity. You will hear your sun trying to escape eclipse with my yell accompanying.

Man, your perspective needs change.

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.

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