Marriage


Come on,
Let’s get married!
But
You not to me
Me not to you
Rather
Let’s marry our dreams
Our future plans

Because gone are the days
Of husband and wife
Now we shall be partners
Shall befriend ourselves
To grow old together

Sometime I will wash dishes
And you cook the dinner
Sometime I will take care of baby
And you be the breadwinner
You may ride my bike to job
And I will take your scooter

Let’s not dream of being Romeo-Juliet
Let’s not pursue Bollywood vibes
Let’s make our own world
And live practical life
Your friend's birthday party- backless top
Barcelona vs. Real Madrid- Me with Carlsberg
Let’s accept our freedom!

Let’s break the stereotype
H-u-s-b-a-n-d and W-i-f-e
With trust
With love
Let’s write the pages of our life!!

एक पत्र– सम्पादकलाई (A letter to the Editor)

Still working on it to make it better! Mani Daju!    You have asked me to give an article for the special issue of ' Samaj , especially by critiquing journalism and particularly ' Samaj ' itself. For about two hours, I have been flipping the pages of 'Samaj' from my collection and thinking to write something. As a friend, you want me to review your work. I continued thinking for two hours, but I couldn't come up with anything worth printing. You may say that it's the right of Editor to decide the publishablity of any ...

के नेपाल सानो छ (Is Nepal Small?)

Original text by Laxmi Prasad Devkota “ के नेपाल सानो छ ”   Translated by:   Biranchi Poudyal Note –     I’m looking forward for comments and reviews from readers to improve this translation. Still working on it to make it better! Nepal! Beauteous, serene, vast! One day I wrote myself, I can't say how I got this feeling of "vastness". Go through the map of world and behold the size of Nepal.  This little droplet seems like vanishing in the ocean. This small piece looks like a small cave lying on the Himalayan mountain range. People from many countries and races may not have even heard its name.  This tiny lovely slice of earth existing like a green capital of peace tends to hide itself than exposing its treasure to the outer world.  It adores solitude. It's more interested in enjoying the icecap of knowledge and wisdom than taking part in scorching struggles of the world. Despite some curiosity in modernity, it's the worshipper ...

Sayonara

          T he village stretched before me like an animated portrayal of rural houses featured in cartoons, knitted together by the stitching of green bush and stone craved pathways. It felt as if the vast wave of grassland is dotted with colourful houses, farms and animals. This place appears so divine as always. The narrow boulevard drifts like rustic brown metal, ancient and broken with age. On each side, small houses were parted by yards wide enough to hold the movement of cows and goat folks.   The traditional home-design looked typically identical in shape but no two had same coloured roofing. They were either zinced or tiled in red, grey, blue and even brown like the ground. Most houses were not only a resident but have been capitalized by village entrepreneurs. Many ground floors were vending homemade liquor and duck’s sukuti, followed by other vegetable shops, fruit stalls, Panipuri/Chatpate and some grocers retailin...
