Forgotten

2012-02-11T23:53:00.000-08:00

what words were they
spoken long ago
what time we lived in
that was forgotten long ago

the wind of change
has been brought today
all that we've lived through
was forgotten long ago

what song do I hear now
people singing out door
for the words have been lost
forgotten long ago

Mad land

2012-01-30T07:34:00.000-08:00

It was a long time ago,

in a kingdom of the mountain

the foothills of which homed

for the two drinking fountain

One it was for the mighty king

whence he used to dwell

and one was for the citizen's

for it was their only well

for years they lived in peace

disturbed they were by none

they loved their king for

he was as almighty as the sun

there was not a war till this day

that they've seen him lose

be it land or be it at the sea

for they would take cruise

all was good, and there was peace

and the land was getting rich

but out of now where, un-announced

landed there a wicked witch

she took a potion out of her sack

filled with all her malice

poured it in the drinking fountain

right outside the palace

no one, yet aware drank the water there

they had no other well, no where else to bring

a few days had passed when they all went mad

running down outside the road they began to sing

they were all acting weird and crazy

ran rampage outside the kings house

for their brain had been infected

by the treacherous wicked witch's louse

the king never had have such fears

for those people were about to bring

the wisest of the men were then

brought to advise the king

the wisest came from different land, all well in their head

and as long as they drank from with the palace fence

they advised the king for an unlikely thing

as the situation kept getting more tense

they told the king that, there was peace

when the land had all but normal men

it changed when they all drank wicked potion

and forgot who is a foe and who is a friend

the only choice they king had, they said

was to drink the water for the well outside

only then would it prevent him from getting killed

for, if all were mad, then nothing could divide

at last the king picked insanity over death

he drank the water from the well, there came the laughter

for now he was among all other in that land

and they lived happily ever after

Haunts me

2012-01-24T05:59:00.000-08:00

Recurring,

it has been for a year or two

one moment I forget

and next it turns out of the blue

Like a chain it gets hold on to me

never can I get myself free

holds me with a certain force it does

like its pulling me deep into the sea

the pain I cannot describe to you

nor to anyone one I know

the feelings is such a mysterious one

some time high, sometime low

And,

just when I think its over

It haunts me again and again...

It's not been

2012-01-23T19:36:00.000-08:00

It's not been a dream like,

yet not much was so real

a scar that has been left behind

for it may never heal

It's not been a day like,

yet not much was so dark

the flame that has been left behind

for it may never again spark

It's not really been a good one

yet not much bad can be found

the memories I have left behind

for I may never again turn around

A Tour

2012-01-23T06:18:00.000-08:00

A late night it was, and the crescent moon was high above. Everyone was almost about to go to sleep, as usual. But then there was a noise, a big one, a accident may be, as most of them thought. But it wasn't as you'll know later on. Since it was a big bang almost everyone woke up, the dark night was again all in lights, not for long. There was nothing outside, not an accident, but what was that? No one knew for certain, most of them thought, it will certainly make the headlines, why not sleep today and care about it tomorrow!

The sun appeared in the morning like nothing had happened the other night, but almost everyone woke up like something terrible had happened. They turned on their television but there was nothing about the big bang they heard last night. They thought may it was thunder a loud one. But It was not.

Unlike, those who waited up for the news to telecast what had happened, few knew what did happen, and one them was Guru. It was as normal day as he had spent for the last few years, until he heard a big bang, thunder he thought, but it was too loud and felt like something had crashed an accident may be he thought. He rested his pen down and stopped everything that he was writing, he went outside and saw a small light glimmering out in the dark, after all it was an accident he thought, he ran outside to see if someone was hurt. He reached with a short distance of the light, and that wasn't anything close to a vehicle he used to travel in. It resembled mostly to an electric car but was different. There was small bulb, with a red light shinning on the top. The door was circular with no particular place to pull from. It was strange. Guru was kind of scared now, he couldn't see anyone inside, for it was pitch black, and nothing suggested it was an accident, as the car or whatever it was looked brand new, not even a scratch! He was about to return back to his room, in fear but at that time, something clicked and the circular door opened, and a man stepped outside. Guru was now scared, he was shivering, his legs were shaking back and forth in pendulum motion. The man was nothing as such he was or the rest of the people on the earth. He was still in shock. The man said, in the mostly fluent way, and greeted him with "Namaste" He didn't reply, probably he didn't heard what he had said, he was still in shock.

The man again said, Namaste

This time Guru heard him, but all he could reply was Nam..Namaa..Nam. and passed out.

It was few hours after that he woke up, and the strange looking man was still staring at him, as soon as he say Guru opening his eyes he said Namaste again.

This time he replied with Namaste. And then the Strange man explained to him, that he was from a distant land of Electricus, and the Electrians as they called themselves were keenly interested in human on the planet earth, and they've always heard about our country and always wanted to come here, and for that reason he'd been to the country. Guru couldn't believe what he had just heard, he thought may be this is a dream and will be over once I'm done with it! But it wasn't. Then the strange man said, I need to get inside my Vehicle, for I'm charged within it, and I can't stay out for too long. Then he went inside, but Guru was still lying outside, and as soon as the man entered his Vehicle, Guru ran into his house shivering like crazy.

The strange man was not surprised, he was expecting it, like he had always, when he'd travel to distant lands. He then, pressed few buttons and his car divided into to two part, something like a refrigerator and a car. Nothing like the car that we had hear on earth, a strange alien adaptable to environmental vehicle it was may be. Then he hit the road, Few hours in and he loved the hospitality of the people, he loved the local cuisine, loved the scenery and he did learn about the history and it impressed him to the most. This land was different, from most of those he had been to before, he loved it here. It was magnificent he told everyone. He had been to lot of places in short time, all he had to do is press a few of those fancy buttons and he'd be there. And, most places he had been to, everyone were kind of shocked at the first, but then they learned where he was from and most of them didn't even understand and they didn't even care to! At the end, while was just about to depart, he produced a small device from the back of pocket, turned it on, and it flashed like a camera's flash and they'd forget everything.

He back in the city, he hadn't explored the city, he had left for the last. It was almost 4 days of earth time and a single day of his own, he had no more than 2 days to spare. He was so lost in the magnificent nature and scenic beauty and hospitality he had forgotten everything else, he wished he could never go back to his land. He remembered something when he was back in the city, he was thinking about his tour, to the beautiful places and those kind people who will have no such memories of him ever being there , he was stuck in the traffic and a heard a beep, it was his battery meter, it was almost down, had less than an hour to go. And, he had to go back to the place where he landed the first day, back to that refrigerator thing to recharge! He was low on battery and he couldn't just press few buttons to be there, he had to drive. There wasn't anyway out of it, the traffic, it was crazy, it was nothing like he had ever seen, it seemed as though he could never get out of it, so he looked for another method, he could hold the battery for few more hours with normal earthly way, charging like we charge cell phone battery, then he somehow found a intersection and parked outside a shop, and asked the owner for a favor, He said if he could charge his car, and I'd give you anything you want, but sadly he hadn't learned about the load-shedding problem and the energy crisis. There was no power, and the traffic was still as jammed as a old screw jammed upon the rusty metal. 3% Battery read the display meter or whatever he called it, I had no longer time to learn about, he was fading, for he and the car needed the energy to run with, they had none, he hadn't seen the dark side, for he thought about the bright one and the red light glimmering on the top of the vehicle turned off...

Syd Barrett Tribute Poem

2012-01-06T04:52:00.000-08:00

Thoughtlessness
of an fanciful mind
camouflaged to a layman's eye

a vision with an
uptopian trance
mimicked by
the madcap laughs

Shine on,

पेट्रोल

2012-01-01T03:38:00.001-08:00

न त दिन भर बत्ती नै देख्न पाईन्छ
घुम्न जाउ, पानी ले चल्दैन बाइक तेल चाहिन्छ
पेट्रोल पम्पमा तिजमा पशुपतीमा हुने जस्तो लाइन छ
अर्को पेट्रोल पम्प जाउ, मुल ढोकामै तेल छैन भन्ने साइन छ
तेल हाल्न नि मन्त्री कै सोर्स चाहिन्छ
नत्र दिन भर लाइन बसेर नि 1 लिटर पेट्रोल पाईन्छ
पेट्रोल पम्प बाट घर जानै २ लिटर चाहिन्छ

भद्र गोल छ यहाँ
जनताको कस्ले सुन्छ
फ्रशासनले कान थुन्छ
ड्राइभर पेट्रोल नपाएर रुन्छ
मन्त्रीले पेट्रोलले हात धुन्छ

भिचित्र छ यहाँ
तेलको भाउ हरेक सेमेस्टर बढ्छ
जनता जिल्ला राम
नेता प्राडो पजेरो चढ्छ
भएको एउटा १० लटको बाइक घरमै सढ्छ

फेरी सर्टेज रे तेलको
अब फेरी पैसा सियोर बढ्छ
न त लाइन बसिन्छ, न तेल किनिन्छ
आइपड कानमा कोचेर हिनिन्छ - अनुज घिमिरे

Atom

2011-12-25T18:12:00.000-08:00

Atom
Matter that is what I am
Aggregated amount
Reacting to the energy variation

Compound
Life that is mine
Composed of
Waves and energies

Negative and positive
Cation and anions
Absorb assist metabolize
Synthesize pulverize
Transferring
To micron and micron of
Life that are atoms

Lengthy
Time duration of mine
Relatively hovering around relativity
And time and motion

Driving round and round
In the thin air of matter as I am
Until again the matter that I’ll become

पागल

2011-12-25T05:29:00.001-08:00

मान्छे भन्छन रे मेरो दिमाग खुस्किएको छ
खपरको दुई चार ओटा नट फुस्किएको छ
तर म मान्दिन तिनी हरुले जे भने पनि
मेरो अगाडि जती महत्मा बने पनि
एउटा पागलको जस्तो अवस्य मेरो हाल छैन
भनी हाले पनि कसैले मलाई बाल छैन
म सुन्छु जे म चाहन्छु बोल्छु जे म बोल्छु
चित्त बुज्दैन जब अनी मात्र मेरो दिमाग म खोल्छु
एदी मेरो बोलीको भाषा पगालको झै भए नसुनि देउ
कृपया भित्र भित्रै जासुसीको जालो नबुनि देउ
यो कालो जालो रुपी संसारमा न खेली रहेछु
मात्र चुपचाप दर्सक बनी झेलि रहेछु
तेसैले बिन्ती छ म माथि नझुकी देउ
बाटोमा आँखा कहिले जुदेमा बिन्ती नथुकी देउ
मलाई दु:खले बाधेको छ पिडा म बाट बोल्छ
भावना दिमाग बाट बग्छ आँखाले धारा खोल्छ
पिडा कस्लाई पो हुन्न र आसुँ कस्को पो नझरला
आज मेरो दु:खमा हास्छौ भोली कसो तिमीलाई नपर्‍ला
त्यो दिन थाहा पाउछौ जब तिम्रो दिमाग आँफै बोल्छ
पिडाको सागर म डुबेर आँखाले ढोका खोल्छ
संसार छ बिशाल जहाँ सुन्दर जीवन सागर
म त केबेल तिम्रो अनुसार एउटा झिङे एक्लो पागल

बहुला हुँ तर पागल होइन!!

कहिले काही भुल्छु सम्झिन
कहिले सम्झिएर भुल्छु
कहिले निदाउन बिर्सेंर सोच्छु
कहिले सोच्दा सोच्दै निदाउछु
कहिले नदेख्ने मान्छे देख्छु
कहिले देख्ने मान्छे खोज्छु
कहिले जाडोमा हुन्छ गर्मी
कहिले गर्मीमा कामी बस्छु
कहिले हुलमा चुप चाप बस्छु
कहिले एक्लै बोली बस्छु
कहिले अरुले नदेख्ने सोच्छु
कहिले सोचेर केही देख्दिन
कहिले भुल्दा भुल्दै लेख्छु
कहिले लेख्दा लेख्दै भुल्छु
कहिले

Voices

2011-12-22T08:29:00.000-08:00

The road spreads wider than ever
and the voices seem to fade
the victims rise up to their throne
kneeling down before the blade

step by step they keep marching on
for a voice commands so loud
a stream of tears running down
from the heart filled with cloud

the end has never been close
and the sun's about to set for good
the heart is not a faint one
even for the final time they stood

फोटो हेरेरै फस्नेलाई मैले के नै गर्न सक्छु र

2011-12-21T06:58:00.001-08:00

ग्र्याभिटीले खस्नेलाई मैले के गर्न सक्छु र
फोटो हेरेरै फस्नेलाई मैले के नै गर्न सक्छु र

नाम मात्र थाहा छ, अरु कस्ले जानोस
नचिनीनै मनमा बस्नेलाई म के गर्न सक्छु र
फोटो हेरेरै फस्नेलाई मैले के नै गर्न सक्छु र

इन्ट्रेस्ट छैन मलाई, बालाई छैन मलाई
भन्दा भन्दै मनमा पस्नेलाई म के गर्न सक्छु र
फोटो हेरेरै फस्नेलाई मैले के नै गर्न सक्छु र

न भन्नु नै छ मलाई, न अरु कसैलाई केही खबर छ
नजानी कनै मनलाई डस्नेलाई मैले के नै गर्न सक्छु र
फोटो हेरेरै फस्नेलाई मैले के नै गर्न सक्छु र

जोकै त हो जिन्दगी

2011-12-19T07:43:00.001-08:00

जती जे खाए पनि भोकै त हो जिन्दगी
गफ जती हाने पनि जोकै त हो जिन्दगी

जती सुकै अक्सिजन ताने पनि आखिरमा
ग्यास उडेको तातो कोकै त हो जिन्दगी
गफ जती हाने पनि जोकै त हो जिन्दगी

चली रहन्छ, चली रहन्छ भने पनि आखिरमा
नेपाल बन्द झै एक रोक कै हो त जिन्दगी
गफ जती हाने पनि जोकै त हो जिन्दगी

सुन्दर छ , बास्ना आउछ भने पनि आखिरमा
मन्दिरमा बानी राखेको गनाउने बोकै हो जिन्दगी
गफ जती हाने पनि जोकै त हो जिन्दगी

फेस्बुक को फोटो ट्याग

2011-12-14T06:58:00.001-08:00

ओह! फेरी एस्ले रयाग गर्‍यो!

अर्को फोटो मा ट्याग गर्‍यो

के आयो? के आयो?

सोचे मैले रेल आयो

रेल जत्रै लामो नोटिफिकेसोन को मेल आयो

नोटिफिकेसोन को ट्यब रातो भयो

मेरो टाउको तातो भयो

किन कि

फेरी तेस्ले रयाग गर्‍यो!

अर्को फोटो मा ट्याग गर्‍यो

के के न हाल्यो के के न होला

भनेर फोटो हेरे

बाँदर को पो तस्बिर थियो

जिउ बाँदर को तर सिर चै मेरै थियो

नोटिफिकेसोन को ट्यब झनै रातो भयो

मेरो टाउको उग्रै तातो भयो

नोतिफिकेसोन ले आकाश छुदै गयो

अत्ती भयो अत्ती भयो

अन्त्य म मैले रिमुव ट्यग गरे

जस्ले मलाई रयग गर्‍यो मैले तेस्लाई रयग गरे

मैले तेस्लाई नै तेस्कै फोटो मा ट्यग गरे!!

माफ गर्नु होला तर मैले नै तपाईं लाई ट्यग गरे

I don't care

2011-11-25T06:14:00.000-08:00

I was drowning
in the cold water
of hate
and despair when you
pulled me,
offered me your hand
and warmth that
pushed into my heart
and,
forged a smile in my heart
with the warmness and
the joy of being found
the joy of you being around

Im not afraid of falling anymore
not even in all of the ocean
at once,
I'm not afraid of being sad anymore
for i have you in my mind, a mental art
i have a picture of you deep within my heart
im not afraid anymore
no more i have fright
for you are there to shed all the light

I dont care if the world ends tomorrow
I wish I have the rest of the time for me to borrow
I can fly even without wings when your in my mind
to a place, where its just you and I and
your hands i can find,
and all the world together we can see
the world is a happy place to see
along as you you're standing by me

Sun in the sky

2011-11-16T02:29:00.000-08:00

floating down

in the dreams

of a land

where those eyes

will be staring not through

a medium

and where

I would hold you hand

and the darkest of day would

turn bright as sunny day sky

and there would be a happy

ending

one with the smile

like the sun,

smiling up above us

bringing warmness

in our hearts

and lights in our dreams

Staring

2011-11-15T08:21:00.000-08:00

I lay awake

even though it already late

the sun is knocking bright

at the west side of the gate

the stars are dancing up high in the sky

same way, as before, as long as I have seen

and I'm writing down the things on my head

with your picture in front of me

staring at the electronic screen

Hike to Nagarkot

2011-11-15T06:42:00.001-08:00

I have to go through the old memos and calendar to check the last that I went out, in a way that's fun, biking or hiking. But recently with, lots of free time in the bags and studies put aside for a while. I was given an opportunity to work for the right cause and learn and to improve and understand, the way of working on different approach of Environmental Cause, as been recruited as the Enviro Crops for the year 2011, we were invited for a orientation program, in a form of hiking, starting form Sankhu to Nagarkot. The most interesting thing about it was, no one really knew anyone, not even the names or the faces, apart from the interview/workshop day, no one had never met each other, and had no idea who were among the six people to be selected. Everyone reached the destination, Old Bus park at 7:30 , this where everyone knew who were selected, still no names. As soon as everyone has arrived we took the local bus to Sankhu, an hour or less of bus ride. The morning had already shown the signs of what the day would be, so had the weather, which didn't really helped us all but at the end of the day it didn't really matter much to us.

The hike started from the bus stop at Sankhu, with the temperature cold, and faint rain, we started our journey towards Nagarkot, after having a cup of tea and few things to eat. The first few kilometers were mostly a double lane road, we walked along the slippery road. Finally, we picked a detour, as per the suggestion of locals, who by the way were extremely helpful. Upon reaching some sort of suspension bridge, we were all gathered and described about what the hiking was all about and how it was going to work. We were told that, we had to play different role and observe different environmental and social factors along the hike trail and express one's feeling about it at the end of the day. 3 different groups with every single group being assigned different roles, A tourist, A politician and Students researching in Environmental issues. After the short briefing, we started walking up the steep hill, along with our group members, discussing about what we were to observe and present at the end of the day. It was about 3 hours long walk up the hill, a steep one at some places but, it felt like it just took few minutes to reach out destination. Even though few hours before, no one knew anyone, even before the end of the day everyone were connected with each other and knew a little more than before.

Sharing stories about the past hiking experiences, educational background, hobbies, likes and dislikes about particular genre of music and almost every field possible. Finally, we reached the destination, after interesting walk for some 2-3 hours or more, tiring for some. Almost everyone was hungry by then, so we decided to gather for potluck. Everyone had brought different home made foods, snacks, and even fruits, we picked a rain tormented field, still wet, and sat in a circle enjoying the foods and sharing different stories and views, and then sharing one's experience and the role playing that we had to do. The politicians started up the conversation with what they have seen and what improvement they need to focus on more to change the living standard, without disturbing the natural habitat and a perfect one day hiking route. The students added up their views about how the vegetation and animal habitat of that place was undisturbed till now, and explained about different species of plants and animals they observed during the hike, finally the tourist shared their first time experience of that particular hiking route and the greenery, natural resources, scenic importance of that area. Everyone generated great ideas of what the place holds for development of Tourism, balance in Ecosystem, environmental issues and overall a very productive ideas. The discussion ended along with the hot tea in the cup along with our role playing conversations. Then, we gathered our self, took some group photos and started walking again. And, as always, like the saying, save the best for the last, the best part was to return home in a gigantic sand layered Truck rocking back and forth down the hill hanging tightly to the steel frame so tightly that the marking remained till few hours like it had been tattooed up in our palm and singing and dancing (partly) enjoying so much that we actually lost the thoughts of where we ended up at the end of the day and almost took a bus opposite to the way we should have!

With the empty glass in my hand

2011-11-15T02:44:00.000-08:00

Silently on a wooden chair
raising a toast to me
memories, swing around
the soft warm air
It’s not hard anymore
not with a glass in my hand

every thing’s still the same
but the time is moving
forward back
and with pictures still in the wall
It’s hurt sometimes, but not now
not with a broken glass

I’m here thinking about
those days spent
and those that I am spending now
and the difference seem
to fade away with a glass in my hand

but the music seems to fade away
so does the remedy in the glass
the time seems to fade away
and slowly does the memories
With the empty glass in my hand

Waiting for a word

2011-11-06T07:03:00.000-08:00

I see those blue eyes

staring down at me

as look for the answers

so close yet so far

a wait so long

with a silent

complexity of thoughts

expression, un-understandable

yet a bridge

lies there

observing all the way

finding the right component

every single day

but no a single help here comes

from the bystander

as the passer by

stares at the world

as he waits for a word

Melody

2011-11-06T06:57:00.000-08:00

A shivering hand
pressed against machine
a empty mind
thoughtful
follows the light
as the raindrops
fell silently
against the shelter
of the eye
blurring the picture
with the neon light

And
in the middle of the road
lies a stone
perfectly camouflaged
yet so alone
rain drops dripping
down the top
bringing the
melody to a stop

School days

2011-10-30T21:54:00.001-07:00

The elastic energy of my ears were increasing
When the teacher was pulling my ears
This was connected later to the earth
When I was doing up and down touching my ears

There was an expansion on my anger
And exponential decay of my knowledge
The faster diffusion of C6H12O6
And I was being pulled down by the gravity

His theory said he was trying to change
The electron that I am to proton that we all should be
But I knew I was an element that
Cannot be broken down by any chemicals

Knowledge is everything he said,
His knowledge was gigantic
You bloody fools you knowledge is in billion X micron's
Even electron microscope cannot see

I can't find the latent heat, to change your mind
I know that an object remains at rest or in uniform motion
Unless acted up on by external force
I can't change the damn object that you are
You are disgrace to the law

You'll learn on your way to ontogeny
The physiology of life
The world is a vast sea to live and
You are nothing but mere plankton
That day will come when you metamorphose
Into adult from puparium

He used to talk about some kind of symbiosis crap
And I used to press my phalanges against my pinna
You are nothing but a pathogenic micro organism
For which the antibiotics can never be found
You are a parasite and this world is a host

Your friends are like the rotten potato
That creates a chain reaction
We must pour some alcoholic KOH on you
Also perform dehydrohalogenation

Your brains were made chloroform by god
But you have turned them into phosgene
Your brain is fermented by sacchromyces
The fresh water that you were born is dying
As a pure distillation of C2H5OH

The qualitative and quantitative analysis
On you will result as a major disaster
You deoxyribose sugar must really code you to be a liar
Dear fool child your solubility product must be really higher

Sky

2011-10-30T07:02:00.000-07:00

Filled with memories

rushing up to the heads

I dream of you and I

me staring at your beautiful eye

as majestic as a star filled night

oh so bright

and so vast as the limitless sky

The images are

distorted

may be its been a while

I've lost the count of you and I

yet the pain feels like

it was tomorrow

still the faint knocks

on the door

stand there a knocking sorrow

memories of life time

yet, regret for tomorrow

And, the feelings come

rushing up to the head

floating up so high

like lost, with any destination

the ever flying clouds in the sky

as the memories pass me by

Tough

2011-10-28T07:27:00.000-07:00

As I lay thinking about

the smile on your face

the shinny picture on the self

so close to me, my heart

yet so far away

I wish for a word

I wish for a walk

yet so tough it is

even for me to talk

the boundaries and

the lines

there are to prevent me and you

and it makes it even tough

than it is already

Shine

2011-10-28T07:09:00.000-07:00

Shine,

as the lights start to dim

and voices fading

with the time

to catch the dream

at another

end of the road

where the lights are

shinning

with hope

for today

the day must end

leave behind the sorrow

and shine

for there's always tomorrow
