कति रहर

स्कुलबाट घर फर्किंदा, ठुलो उकालो उक्लिंदा लाग्थ्यो, यस्तो भारी ब्याग छोडेर एउटा काँधमा ममीको जस्तै ब्याग भिर्न पाए हुन्थ्यो | कस्तो राम्री देखिन्थे होला, दुइ चुल्ठी फुकालेको, जुत्ता मोजाको सट्टा हील जुत्ता लगाएको, नाङ्गो नङहरुमा कालो पालिस लगाएको, केहि नदलेको अनुहारमा थोरै मकेअप  गरेको | स्कुल युनिफोर्म नभएर अस्ति भर्खरै न्यु रोड़मा देखेको ड्रेस लगाउन, कति रहर | बुच्चो कानमा बज्ने झुम्का लगाउन, कति रहर | बाटोमा हिंड्दा देखिने चिटिक्क परेका दिदीहरु जस्तै परफ्युम लगाउन, कति रहर |

कति!

सोच्दा सोच्दै उकालो नि कट्यो, घर पनि आयो | खाजा खाएँ, होम्वोर्क सुरु गरें |
गर्दा गर्दै सोच्थें, नगर्नुपरे हुन्थ्यो | लेख्न पाए  हुन्थ्यो | म लेखक हूँ भनेर भन्न पाए हुन्थ्यो | मेरा लेख मनपराउने मान्छे भेटाए हुन्थ्यो | मैले पढ्ने उपन्यासको लेखकले मेरो नाम थाहा पाए हुन्थ्यो |

सोच्दा सोच्दै होम्वोर्क नि सक्यो, अनि खाना खाएर सुतें |

दिनहरु नि बिते |
कहिले काहिँ चाही, बिहान उठ्दा रहर नै रहन्थेनन् | राम्री हुन नि मन लाग्थेन,  लेखक हुन नि  मन लाग्थेन | खाना खान नि मन लाग्थेन, खाजा खाना नि मन लाग्थेन | ठुलो नि हुन मन लाग्थेन, सानो नि हुन मन लाग्थेन | ब्रुष गर्न नि मन लाग्थेन, कपाल कोर्न नि मन लाग्थेन | स्कुल नि जान मन लाग्थेन | खाटबाट उठ्न नि मन लाग्थेन |

पटक्कै उठ्न मन लाग्थेन |

  1. 'kati rahar' perfectly justifies the ever fluctuating desires of human. Loved it. But it's too short. I was expecting a long one. However, can it not be small and cute? Certainly, just like the writer in the picture of the post. 😊😊

    Expecting more from you.

The undecided being Our tracks were never made. We will never make them either. Paths aren't  created for others to walk on. And no one, I swear no one will ever walk the same path that you have. Our lives are as vast as this land. Our paths will be just the same way. Do you make your path to walk on? You don't. You don't have a path. You don't build one. You don't follow a trail. Life was never about having a path. Life was always, always about getting lost. But life was never about losing your purpose. It was never about looking at your past or future. Life is, and will always be, about finding peace. The true meaning of existence, of becoming a human. Why do we spend hours trying to figure out what is wrong with us? Why don't we stop in the middle and realize that life is just a part of the existence? That mistakes are not worth sobbing over if we don't have much time? Do you know how close you are to death? Do you realize how morta...

The Price of Emptiness - Part I

Kiss your shoulders. Raise your hand and suck on your wrist, to know how it feels to be loved. Wait for the goosebumps, then slowly let them rest on your cheeks. Noone will know what happened. The day ends, the light rests on the hills, just like that girl's head rested on the boy's lap, you know, just a while ago? And when they closed their eyes the night was declared. Will they ever know? Clickety-clack. Your heels have made their last noise for the day. The room is just how you left it in the morning. What will you do to see the chair, maybe a little on the left? Maybe a few strange and warm wrinkles on the bed?  You're home. Someone needs to know that you're home. Your heels made noise. Someone needs to hear it.  You burnt your dinner. You wore your sweater inside out. Your socks don't match.  Noone will ever know.  And the only sound that will drown the noise of you chewing, is the sound, the terrible shreak of you, acc...

When Charlie decided

When Charlie decided to die, his bagpack lost its painful weight of monotony and helplessness. A man standing behind him shoved his way to the front, nearly pushing him out of balance. Strong stench of tired armpits spread across the bus, mixing with the smell of diesel and something rotten. But Charlie had decided to die. So it was okay.   So how should he die?   When he reached his room, he undressed himself to nothing and looked around. His clothes were either dirty or unfolded. Ramita didi who would have to clean them tomorrow. Surely, she’d be the first to know about dead Charlie, but why would she clean the clothes of a dead man now?   He washed his dirty clothes and hung them to dry. The rest were ironed and folded neatly.   The day they find Charlie’s body in the room, Paale dai might look around and see these untouched pairs of shirts and pants, then decide to take it for his son.   He opened his fridge. The old broken mach...
