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.

A Week After The Valentine's I haven't understood love. As we grow up, our perception of love and life differs greatly. Often, we tend to overshadow one with the other, and that is exactly where we make mistakes. Balance. Balance. Balance. It's everything we want. What's worse, is that we are flawless humans, which means we have a chain of imperfections and we constantly need someone to appreciate them. Why, I wonder, can't we do it ourselves? My greatest struggle with self is acceptance. Appreciation. I'm divided. I want to show people that I am divided. Then I want them to love me even more. That's love for me. Valentine's day comes and goes, yet not a single day do you accept yourself. We leave the job of loving ourselves to each other. We praise each other, talk at lengths about each other, find ourselves in each other. Because we chose the other, before ourselves. We tend to sink in the gravity of someone else's affection. It's ou...

Squiggles and Scribbles of Sashi

Sashi woke up today, annoyed and at 4 a.m. Her thinning blanket somehow turned over and her oiled-up feet were exposed to the ruthless chills of Magh. She angrily switched on the light, as if to scold the walls and windows of her room for the restless night.  Her belongings in the one-person rental flat are quite minimal, although symmetrically pleasing, like something straight out of a Wes Anderson movie, only, without the colours. Her clothes, from her mother's sarees to her work uniform had to put up a fight with her undiagnosed O.C.D; even the softest of the fabric was disciplined into a neat pile.  Her bathroom had nothing more than a single soap, dry on one side and slimy on the other. Her toothbrush, however, looked more worried, for the woman brushed ferociously, disappointed at her slightly yellow teeth which were now accompanied by often bleeding gums.  Her kitchen was completely empty, as she had decided not to eat in her room. The ventilation in the tiny flat ...

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...
