मनको कलमबाट - २५

१ हेक्का गर्नुहोस यो बुद्ध भुमि हो । १७००० को हत्या /साहदात भएको देश हो । रास्ट्रपति प्रधानमन्त्री लगाएत का अफिस र घर जलेको देश हो । आफ्नो माग राख्न जम्मा भएका किसोर किसोरी हरुलाई हत्या गरिएको देश हो ।

२ हेक्का गर्नुहोस यो पशुपतिनाथले कल्याण गर्ने देश हो । संसार भर ५० बढि क्रिस्टियन, मुस्लिम लगाएत धार्मिक देश हरुको अस्तित्व स्विकारी रहदा संसारको एकमात्र हिन्दु रास्ट्र हट्यो । किन हटाइयो? जवाफ दिनुनै नपर्ने काइदा ।

३ हेक्का गर्नुहोस तिन करोड भन्दा कम जनसंख्या रहेको देशमा झन्डै डेड्सय पार्टि छन् । यानेकि दामासहिले हिसाब गर्नेहो भने एउटा पार्टिको भागमा दुइ लाख मान्छे पनि नपर्ने ।

४ हेक्का गर्नुहोस अहिले जेंजी आन्दोलन पछि केहि दर्जन निजि उद्धोग बन्द हुने स्थितिमा छन् भनेर रोइ कराई गर्नेले यो खोज्दैनाकी बहुदल आएपछि झन्डै १५० उद्धोग किन बन्द भए ? अझै यो त झन् चुइक्क गर्दैन कि सरकारी उद्योगहरु किन बन्द भए ?

५ हेक्का गर्नुहोस बिकास गर्न नीति भन्दा पहिले नियत चाहिन्छ । गलत नियतले बनेका नीतिहरु कागजका खोस्टा हुन् ति खोस्टा बनाउन मात्र हाम्रो देशले ३ पिडि र खर्बौ धनरासी खर्च भएको छ।

६ हेक्का गर्नुहोस तपाइको आफ्नो कोहि छैन मात्र तपाइँ आफै हो । यहा त सबै स्वार्थ को लागि कुदिरहेको भिडमा तपाइ पनि एक यात्रिहो । कहिलेकाही त तपाइँ आफै पनि आफ़्नोलागि काम लाग्नुहुन बाकि भ्रम हो । नाता गोता परिवार मात्र केहि स्वार्थ ले तपाइँ संग जोडिएका छन । या तपाइँ पनि केहि स्वार्थका खातिर जोडिनुभेको छ ।

७ हेक्का गर्नुहोस हाम्रो औसत आयु ७० बर्ष यानेकि ८४० महिना मात्र हो । ४० बर्ष पुगेको मान्छे ३६० महिना अरु यो धर्तीमा रहन्छ । ८४ नै गर्नुभएछ भने पनि तपाइको यो धर्तीमा बस्ने भनेको १००८ महिना हो । ५० पुगेको मान्छे अरु यो धर्तीमा ४०० महिना बस्छ। तेस्पछि लाग्छ आफ्नो बाटो ।

८ हेक्का गर्नुहोस यो घर गाडि भौतिक बस्तु केहि समयको झिल्झिलामात्र हो । तपाइँ कुनैपनि भौतिक बस्तुबाट प्राप्त हुने खुसि लामो समय टिक्दैन । हुनत तपाइको आफ्नै सरिर पनि त कहा लामो समय टिक्छ र ?

९ हेक्का गर्नुहोस तपाई दुखि हुदा लाग्छ अरुको कारणले दुखि भएकी भनेर तर सत्य के हो भने ९०% भन्दा बढि तपाइँ आफ्नै कारणले दुखि या खुसि हुनुहुन्छ ।

१० हेक्का गर्नुहोस स्वर्ग नर्क यहि भोगेर जाने पनि हो। जे रोप्यो तेही फल्छ हरेक दशकमा तपाइले आफुले अगिल्लो दशकमा रोपेको फल पाउनुहुन्छ ।

विभिन्न मुद्दाहरु बारे सामाजिक संजालमा धारणा मेरा निजि बिचारहरु हुन ।

मेरो जीवन जिउने आधार, जीवन बारे

यो धर्तीमा स्थायी केहि छैन। न तिमी न तिम्रो जीवन। न तिम्रो नाता न अरु केहि । यो संसारमा हरेक चिज क्षणिक हुन्छ, प्रेम, घृणा, विश्वास वा अन्य कुनै पनि कुरा। जीवन सुन्दर उपहार हो, तेस्लाई बुझ्न होइन जिउनमा छुटै आनन्द छ, तपाइँ काल गतिले नै मर्नुभयो भने तपाइको जम्मा धर्तिको बसाइ १००८ महिना मात्र हो , त्यसैले आफ्नो जीवनको आनन्द लिनुहोस ।

राजनीति बारे

बिकाश त जुनसुकै नीति लिए पनि हुदो रहेछ । चाहे राजा भन्नुहोस, चाहे रास्ट्रपति, चाहे तानासाह, वा अरु कुनै । खाडी मुलुकमा राजाको हुकुम चल्छ राम्रै बिकाश भएको छ । उत्तर कोरियामा तनासहाको सरकार छ राम्रै बिकाश भएको छ छिमेकी चीन मा कम्युनिस्ट सरकार छ विकास भएकै छ । विकास त नेताको नीतिबाट साथै नियतबाट धेरै निस्कने कुरा रहेछ ।

सामाजिक संजाल मा मेरो उपस्थिति निम्न ठाउहरुमा हुनेछन

2025-04-14T14:40:00.000+05:30

२०८१: अनुभूतिको एक वर्ष – २०८२: आशाको नयाँ सुरुवात
– बोधराज लम्साल

२०८१ सकियो—अब त्यो इतिहास बनिसक्यो। पोहोरको यही समय, उमंग र उत्साहले भरिएको नयाँ यात्रा सुरु भएको थियो। अहिले फर्केर हेर्दा त्यो यात्रा ज्ञान, अनुभव, उतारचढाव, संकल्प र प्रतिबद्धताले भरिएको रह्यो।

कार्यक्षेत्र

यो वर्ष सिकाइ र उमंगले भरिएको रह्यो। नेपालमै रहेर वैश्य युगको एक उत्कृष्ट संस्थासँग—ल्याण्डमार्क होटल्स एण्ड रिसोर्ट्स—आबद्ध रही काम गर्ने अवसर पाइयो। हस्पिटालिटी क्षेत्रमा नयाँ अनुभव बटुल्न पाएँ। विवेक र क्षमता अनुसार आफ्नो ज्ञान र अनुभवलाई योगदानमा रूपान्तरण गर्ने प्रयास गरें—विशेष गरी ट्रेनिङ, मार्केटिङ, सेल्स, र अपरेसन क्षेत्रमा। काठमाडौँ, पोखरा, चितवन र भैरहवा—यी मेरा मुख्य कार्यक्षेत्र बने। २०८१ मेरो कार्यकुशलता र विवेक प्रयोग गर्ने महत्वपूर्ण वर्ष रह्यो।

व्यवसायिक भ्रमण

भारतको दिल्ली र पटना भ्रमण व्यवसायिक दृष्टिले सफल रह्यो।

यात्रा

कैलास मानसरोवर यात्रा मेरो जीवनकै एक महत्त्वपूर्ण आध्यात्मिक यात्रा बन्यो।

यस यात्रामा सधैँ सम्झिरहने पात्र श्री सी. एन. पाण्डे र सहजकर्ता सन्देशजी प्रति विशेष आभार।
सम्राट टुर्स एण्ड ट्राभल्स सँगको समन्वय सम्झनलायक रह्यो।

अयोध्या यात्रा: श्रीमती, आमा र करिब ५० जनाको समूहसँगको अयोध्या यात्रा हृदयस्पर्शी रह्यो।
जनकपुर यात्रा: मेरी प्रिय श्रीमतीसँग कामकै शिलशिलामा गरिएको जनकपुर यात्रा पनि मनमा बस्ने अनुभूति बन्यो।

सामाजिक संलग्नता

लायन्स क्लब (नारायणघाट सप्तरंगी) सँग आबद्ध भए तापनि समय दिन नसकेकोमा मन खिन्न भयो।

क्लबका प्रेरक नेता श्री शिव पौडेल सरलाई सदैव सम्झिरहनेछु।

SKAL International Nepal सँगको आबद्धताले ट्राभल र हस्पिटालिटी क्षेत्रमा उच्चस्तरीय सम्पर्क बनाउने मौका मिल्यो।
Toastmasters International सँग पनि अवसर मिलेसम्म संलग्न रहने मौका पाइयो।

यसमा आवद्ध गराउन प्रेरणा दिनुहुने परिवर्तन रेग्मी प्रति आभार।

आध्यात्मिक यात्रा

विपश्यना ध्यान गर्ने अवसर मिल्यो।
आर्ट अफ लिभिङ को ह्यापिनेस प्रोग्राममा सहभागी हुन पाएँ।
ISKCON का कक्षा लिने मौका मिल्यो।

पारिवारिक पक्ष

जीवन रंगिन रह्यो।
बुबाको इच्छा अनुसार घर बनाउन नपाउनु अफसोस रह्यो—तर २०८२ मा बन्नेछ भन्ने विश्वास छ।
आमालाई निमोनिया लागेको थियो, तर वर्षको अन्त्यसम्ममा स्वास्थ्यमा सुधार आएको छ।
हजुरआमाको सेवामा तल्लीन बुवा, आमा र श्रीमतीलाई देख्दा मन गर्वले भरिन्छ।
बाबु कक्षा ७ र छोरी कक्षा १० मा पुगे—प्रगतिको बाटोमा।
चार पुस्ता एउटै छानामुनि, एउटै भान्सामा बस्नु अद्भुत लाग्छ।
श्रीमतीले जागिर त्याग गरी व्यवसायमा पाइला राखिन्—यो साहसिक निर्णयप्रति म उत्साहित छु।

राष्ट्र

यो वर्ष राष्ट्रिय राजनीति अपेक्षाअनुसार चल्न सकेन।
सरकार फेरबदलमा व्यस्त रह्यो, नीति र दिशा अस्पष्ट रह्यो।
केही नेताहरूको प्रयास देखिए पनि निरन्तरता र स्पष्ट दृष्टिकोणको कमीले निराशा बढायो।

२०८२ सालको योजना

कार्यक्षेत्र

अयोध्या यात्रा : एउटा आत्मदर्शन र समाजको ऐना

2025-04-13T00:22:00.007+05:30

अयोध्या यात्रा : एउटा आत्मदर्शन र समाजको ऐना

२६ गते चैत्र २०८१ — गैडाकोटबाट महिलाहरुको सांस्कृतिक समूह अयोध्या प्रस्थान गर्दै थियो, म पनि त्यसै यात्रामा संलग्न भएँ। यो यात्रा मेरो लागि केवल धार्मिक मात्र होइन, जीवन र समाज बुझ्ने एक गहिरो अवसर बन्यो। ५० जना महिलाहरुको समूहमा म मात्र एक पुरुष थिएँ — त्यो पनि आमाको आग्रहमा। आफ्नो व्यस्त जीवनको दुई दिन छुट्याउनु सजिलो थिएन, तर सायद त्यसले नै यो यात्रा अझ अर्थपूर्ण बनायो।

हजुरआमाले भन्नुभएको कुरा — "संस्कार र संगत राम्रो चाहिन्छ", यात्रा भरि सम्झिरहेँ।
दाउन्नेको धुलो पार गर्दै हामी सुनौली हुँदै भारतको गोरखपुर, अनि गोरखनाथ मन्दिरमा दर्शन गयौँ। समूहमा अयोध्याको अलावा नैनिसागर जाने कि नजाने भनेर घण्टौं छलफल भयो, निष्कर्षविहीन।

रातको ३ बजे मच्छरले निन्द्रा भङ्ग गरे। ढोका झ्याल बन्द भए पनि मच्छर चोर बाटोबाट छिर्दा रहेछन्!

अयोध्यामा अटो बुक गरियो — आधा दिनको लागि १००० रुपैयाँमा पाँच ठाउँ घुम्ने सर्तमा। अटो चालक असाध्यै इमान्दार रहेछन्। राम मन्दिर दर्शन गरिसकेपछि एक नेपाली सन्तसँग भेट भयो, जसले हामीलाई सहयोग गर्न इच्छुक देखिनुभयो।

तर, झन्डै १२ बजे एक सदस्यलाई मोटरसाइकलले ठक्कर दियो। हातखुट्टामा पट्टी गरेपछि हामी आश्रम पुग्यौं। त्यहाँ केही समयपछि विवाद देखियो — बस्ने, नबस्ने, घुम्ने, नघुम्ने, कसैले गाली गरे, कसैले सुनेन — सन्त गुरुलाई ती झमेला मन परेनछ, हामीलाई झन्डै ३०–४० मिनेट हिडाएर नेपाली आश्रमतिर लैजानुभयो।

भोजनपछि गुरुले आफ्ना असन्तुष्टि पोख्नुभयो। यसले मलाई गहिरो सोचमा डुबायो — हाम्रो टिम केवल एउटा समूह थिएन, त्यो त हाम्रो समाजको एक झलक थियो।

हाम्रो समाजको प्रतिनिधित्व गर्ने १० प्रकारका व्यक्तित्वहरू – एक यात्रामा देखिएको नेपाली समाज

यात्रा भनेको गन्तव्य मात्र हैन, त्यो त समाजको प्रतिविम्ब पनि हो। हामीले अयोध्याको यात्रामा भेट्यौं ५० जना दिदीबहिनीहरू, र तीमध्ये हरेकको व्यवहार, सोच, बोली र चालचलनमा हाम्रो नेपाली समाज झल्किरहेको थियो। तीमध्ये १० प्रकारका व्यक्तित्वहरू विशेष थिए, जसले हाम्रो यात्रालाई कहिले हास्यको स्रोत बनाए, कहिले सोचको खानी।

१. आफू नबोली, अरुको कान फुक्ने – माहोल बिगार्ने
स्वयं त चुप लागेर बस्ने तर अरुलाई घोचपिच गरेर विवाद सिर्जना गर्ने। यस्ता व्यक्ति समूहमा अविश्वास फैलाउने मुख्य कारण बन्छन्।

२. आफैँ बोल्ने, अरुको नसुन्ने – अन्तर्कलहको कारण
"मलाइ थाहा छ" भन्ने शैलीमा प्रस्तुत हुने, तर अरुको कुरा सुन्ने धैर्य नराख्ने। यस्ता स्वभावले टिममा तालमेल बिग्रन्छ।

३. ठूलो कुरा गर्ने, तर खर्चको बेला हराउने – इनभिजिबल मोडका महारथी
गफमा अगाडि, तर जिम्मेवारीमा पछाडि। बजेटको कुरामा कहिले देखिन्नन्, तर योजना बनाउने बेलामा मुख्य भूमिकामा हुन्छन्।

४. हरेक कुरा नकारात्मक दृष्टिले हेर्ने – 'नो' भन्ने बटन लिएर हिड्ने
जे गरे पनि आलोचना गर्नमै रमाउने। घाम लागे नराम्रो, पानी परे झनै नराम्रो। सकारात्मकता सँग टाढा रहने स्वभाव।

५. अरुले जे गरे पनि आफू मात्र रमाउने – सेल्फी हिरोइनहरू
समूहको सहयोगभन्दा आफ्ना तस्बिर र रमाइलोमा केन्द्रित। "म अयोध्यामा" भन्नु त आउँछ, तर "हामी सँगै थियौं" भन्न पटक्कै मन लाग्दैन।

६. जुनसुकै अवस्थामा पनि सहयोग गर्न तत्पर – जीवनका हिरोइनहरू
"के सहयोग गरौं?" भन्ने सोधेर मात्रै होइन, काम गरेर देखाउने। यिनै व्यक्ति बिना यात्रा अपुरो लाग्ने।

७. शान्त रूपमा सबैलाई मिलाउने, कसैको आलोचना नगर्ने – मायालु समन्वयकर्ताहरू
टिममा सन्तुलन ल्याउने, कन्फ्लिक्ट सुल्झाउने र आलोचनाको सट्टा समझदारी फैलाउने असली 'ग्लू'।

८. नेतृत्व लिएर अघि बढ्ने – समस्यामा समाधान खोज्ने योद्धा
काम बाँडफाँडमा अग्रसर, अरुलाई पनि सँगै लिने। "अब के गर्ने?" नभनी, "हामी गर्छौं" भन्ने प्रेरणा दिने पात्र।

९. मनोरञ्जन र उमंग ल्याउने – यात्रालाई उत्सव बनाउने पात्रहरू
गफ, जोक्स, रमाइलो र नाचगानका माध्यमबाट यात्रालाई सम्झनलायक बनाउने, हाँसोका बाढी ल्याउने।

१०. अबलोकनशील र गहिरो सोच राख्ने – साइलेन्ट बुद्धाहरू
कम बोल्ने तर गहिरो बुझाइ राख्ने। समय आएपछि चुपचाप सही कदम चाल्ने र सबैको मन जित्ने यस्ता शान्त नायिका।

अर्थतन्त्र, अयोध्या र नेपाल

अयोध्यामा मैले अटो चालक, आश्रमका संचालक, विद्यार्थी, व्यापारी, मेडिकल पसले र होटल व्यवसायीसँग कुराकानी गरेँ। उनीहरुको अनुसार राम मन्दिर बनेपछि अयोध्याको आर्थिक गतिशीलता झन तीव्र भएको रहेछ। छरछिमेकका साना पसलदेखि ठूला होटेलहरूसम्म पर्यटकको भीडले व्यापार बढेको छ। अघिल्लो वर्षभन्दा दोब्बर आम्दानी भएको धेरैले बताए। रोजगारी बढेको छ, स्थानीय उत्पादनको खपत पनि बढेको छ। हाम्रो समूह मात्रले पनि औसतमा ५००० रुपियाँ प्रति व्यक्ति खर्च गरेर २५००००, साथै बस भाडामा १४०००० — कुल झन्डै ४००,००० रुपियाँ। त्यसैले मनमा प्रश्न उठ्यो — के नेपाल साँच्चै गरिब हो कि गरिब भनी बनाइएको भ्रम हो ? सम्भावना त छ, नियत चाहिँ चाहिन्छ।

धर्म र अध्यात्म: एउटै हो त? कि फरक बाटो?

अयोध्याको यात्रापछि मनमा एउटा प्रश्न गहिरिँदै गयो — के हामी धर्म गर्न गएका थियौं? कि अध्यात्म खोज्न?

धर्म: बाह्य अनुशासन

धर्म भनेको समाजमा स्थापित मान्यता, रीतिरिवाज र आचरणहरूको समुच्चय हो।

यो अनुशासन, नैतिकता, र सामाजिक सद्भाव कायम राख्न बनेको संरचना हो।
पूजा, व्रत, जात्रा, मन्दिरजस्ता कर्मकाण्डहरू धर्मको अभिन्न अंग हुन्।

तर धर्म कहिलेकाहीं शासन गर्ने माध्यम पनि हुन सक्छ — जसले डर र दोषको माध्यमबाट आचरण निर्धारण गर्छ।

अध्यात्म: भित्री शान्तिको खोज

अध्यात्म भनेको आत्माको खोज हो — म को हुँ? जीवनको सार के हो?

यो व्यक्तिगत यात्रा हो,
जसले चित्तको शुद्धता, ध्यान, र आत्मसाक्षात्कार खोज्छ।
यो कर्मकाण्डभन्दा गहिरो, अनुभूतिमा आधारित हुन्छ।

मुख्य भिन्नता

धर्म	अध्यात्म
बाहिरी ढाँचा	भित्री अनुभूति
अनुशासन	आत्मज्ञान
परम्परा	चेतना
समाज-केन्द्रित	आत्मा-केन्द्रित

निष्कर्ष

धर्मले रूप दिन्छ, अध्यात्मले सार दिन्छ।
धर्म अनुशासन हो, अध्यात्म मुक्ति।
यदि धर्म चेतनाको बाटो बन्न सके, त्यो अध्यात्ममै रूपान्तरण हुन्छ।
तर केवल बाहिरी कर्मकाण्डमै अडिएर अध्यात्म नखोज्ने धर्म अधुरो हुन्छ।

हामी मन्दिर गयौं, तर फर्कंदा आत्मामा प्रश्न उब्जियो।
त्यही क्षण, धर्म अध्यात्ममा रूपान्तरण भयो।

यात्रा… जहाँ बाटो मात्र थिएन, भावना पनि बगिरहेका थिए।

जीवनका केही यात्रा केवल गन्तव्यका लागि हुँदैनन् — ती स्मृतिका मोती संकलन गर्ने बेला हुन्छन्।
यस यात्रामा पनि हामी केवल सहरबाट सहर जाँदै थिएनौं,
हामी हास्य, साथ, प्रेम, प्रेरणा र आत्मसमीक्षा बोकेर यात्रा गरिरहेका थियौं।

र त्यही बेला — बाटो काट्ने बहानामा मैले मनमा केहि रमाइलो गरें।
केही हाँसो झिकाउने, केही आत्माबाट निस्किएका विधाहरू तयार पारेँ, जसले यात्रा अझै जीवित बनायो।

रमाइलो विधा — हाँसोको साथमा प्रेम

समापनको भाव

यात्रा एक सामूहिक आत्माको उत्सव थियो।

कसैले हाँसो बाँड्यो, कसैले प्रेरणा —
तर सबैले स्मृति बनाउने काम गरे।

यात्रा सकियो होला, तर त्यो साथ… त्यो भाव… त्यो हाँसो… हाम्रा हृदयमा अमर बनिरहनेछ।

जिन्दगीका अनुभूति र राष्ट्रप्रति गुनासो

अयोध्याको अध्यात्मिक यात्राबाट फर्किएपछि म टोलीलाई सुनौलीमा बिदाइ गरेर भैरहवा अफिस लागें। बिहान सिमसिमे वर्षामा हिँड्दै गर्दा, उनीहरू किनमेलमै थिए—मन हलुका, मुहारमा हाँसो लिई म बिदाइ भए ।

तर साँझ आमाको फोन आयो—"बाबु, हामि हरु त जाममा परेम नि !

अचानकै मेरो मन भारी भयो।

१० वर्षे बालकदेखि ८० वर्षका हजुरआमा सम्म एकै बसमा, रातभर दाउन्नेको जाममा अल्झिएका रहेछन्—बिना सहायता, बिना जिम्मेवारी।

न सरकारको कुनै प्रतिनिधि, न राहत—एउटा बोतल पानी पनि उपलब्ध गराइएन।

आमाको प्रश्नले मन छोयो

“किन यस्तो हुन्छ बाबु?”

मेरो जवाफ

“हजुरले भोट हाल्नुभएको मान्छे नै अहिले प्रधानमन्त्री हुनुहुन्छ।”

उहाँ हाँस्नुभयो

“अबको चुनावमा म मरेपनि भोट दिन्न तिनलाई!”

तर…

त्यस हाँसोभित्रको निराशा मैले देखेँ।

मनमनै सोचे येदि आमाले "अब कसलाई दिउँ त भोट?" प्रतिप्रस्न गरेको भए ?

साच्चै, मसंग उत्तर नै थिएन।

प्रकृति आपदाहरू त आउँछन्। तर सरकारले मौन रहनु, असंवेदनशील हुनु, बेवास्ता गर्नु — के यो क्षम्य छ?

कसरी एक लोकतान्त्रिक मुलुकको सरकार यति निर्दयी र अनुत्तरदायी हुन सक्छ?

म सोच्न बाध्य भएँ—

त्यो बसभित्र रहेका ९०% भन्दा बढी नागरिकहरूले अहिलेको सत्ता पक्षलाई नै भोट दिएको हुन सक्छन।

अनि हामीले नै चुनेका हुन् भने—

के यो अवस्था सिर्जना हुनमा हाम्रो पनि दोष छैन त?

हुन त,

हामी जहिल्यै दोष अरूलाई दिन सिपालु छौं।

तर अब समय आएको छ —

सरकार बदल्नु अघि, सोच बदल्ने।

जवाफ खोज्नु अघि, आफ्नो निर्णयको समीक्षा गर्ने।

देश बदल्न सरकार मात्र होइन,

चेतना पनि चाहिन्छ।

अन्त्यमा...

यो यात्रा केवल राम मन्दिरसम्मको यात्रा थिएन।
यो थियो —
🕉 आध्यात्मिक आत्मदर्शन,
समाजको यथार्थ विश्लेषण,
र हाम्रो आफ्नै व्यवहारको सजीव प्रतिबिम्ब।

यात्राको हरेक पाइला, हरेक संवाद र हरेक मौन क्षणले मलाई सिकायो:
धर्म भनेको केवल मन्दिर र मूर्तिको पूजा होइन — त्यो त मनको शुद्धता, व्यवहारको सरलता र सहिष्णुताको अभ्यास हो।
संगत भनेको केवल साथ दिइरहने साथीहरू होइन — त्यो हो, विपत्तिमा नछाड्ने आत्मीयता।
समाज भनेको केवल भिड होइन — त्यो त हाम्रै चरित्रको ऐना हो, जसमा हामी हरेक दिन आफूलाई हेर्न सक्छौं।

साँचो कुरा के हो भने,

यो यात्रा यात्रामात्र थिएन — यो मेरो जीवनको एउटा पाठशाला थियो।
जहाँ मैले अध्यात्ममा शान्ति पाएँ, समाजमा चुनौती देखेँ, र आफूभित्रका प्रश्नहरूसँग संवाद गरेँ।

म हृदयदेखि आभारी छु
यस यात्रामा मलाई साथ दिने हरेक मन, हरेक अनुहार, र हरेक मुस्कानप्रति।
तपाईंहरूको साथले यो यात्रालाई स्मरणीय मात्र होइन, जीवन्त बनायो।

धन्यवाद तपाईंहरू सबैलाई —
म सम्झिरहनेछु हरेक क्षण, हरेक झल्को, र हरेक प्रेरणा।

सधैं सम्झनेछु —
यात्रा सकिएला, तर अनुभूति कहिल्यै सकिँदैन।

ब्यापारी बाट जग्गा दान कति सहि कति गलत ?

2024-10-12T20:44:00.002+05:30

यदि नेपाल कम्युनिस्ट पार्टी (नेकपा एमाले) जस्तो राजनीतिक दलले विवादित वा राज्यबाटै मुद्दा झेलिरहेका व्यापारीसँग जग्गा उपहारमा लिई आफ्नो केन्द्रीय कार्यालय बनाउँछ, र अझ अध्यक्ष स्वयं देशका प्रधानमन्त्री छन् भने, यो गम्भीर कानुनी र नैतिक प्रश्नहरूको मुद्दा बन्छ। यस घटनाले नेपालका कानुनी प्रावधानहरूको उल्लङ्घन गर्न सक्ने सम्भावना हुन्छ, विशेष गरी भ्रष्टाचार र सम्पत्ति शुद्धिकरण सम्बन्धी कानुनहरूसँग सम्बन्धित विषयमा। यस घटनालाई विभिन्न कानुनी र नैतिक आधारमा जाँच गर्न सकिन्छ:

१. भ्रष्टाचार निवारण ऐन, २०५९ (2002):

नेपालको भ्रष्टाचार निवारण ऐन अनुसार, कुनै पनि सार्वजनिक पदाधिकारीले आफ्नो पदको दुरुपयोग गरेर लाभ, उपहार, वा सम्पत्ति लिँदा यो भ्रष्टाचारको श्रेणीमा पर्दछ। प्रधानमन्त्रीजस्तो उच्च पदाधिकारीको नेतृत्वमा रहेको दलले विवादित व्यापारीबाट उपहारमा जग्गा लिँदा यो भ्रष्टाचारको संज्ञा पाउन सक्छ।

प्रधानमन्त्रीको पद एक सार्वजनिक जिम्मेवारी हो, र सार्वजनिक पदमा रहेका व्यक्तिहरूले आफ्नो पदको दुरुपयोग गरेर कुनै पनि प्रकारको आर्थिक लाभ लिने कार्य गैरकानुनी मानिन्छ। यदि यस्तो उपहार दलको लागि पदको प्रभाव प्रयोग गरेर लिइएको हो भने, यसले भ्रष्टाचार ऐनको उल्लङ्घन गर्छ।

२. सम्पत्ति शुद्धिकरण ऐन, २०६४ (2008):

सम्पत्ति शुद्धिकरण ऐन अन्तर्गत अवैध रूपमा आर्जित सम्पत्तिको कारोबार वा उपहार लिने कार्यलाई शुद्धिकरणका रूपमा हेरिन्छ। यदि व्यापारी राज्यबाट मुद्दा झेलिरहेको छ र उसले दिएको सम्पत्ति अपराधजन्य छ भने, यो सम्पत्ति शुद्धिकरणको श्रेणीमा आउन सक्छ। यस्ता सम्पत्ति लिने राजनीतिक दल, त्यसमा पनि सत्तामा रहेको दलको अध्यक्ष, कानुनी कारबाहीको दायरामा पर्न सक्छ।

३. राजनीतिक आचरण र जवाफदेहिता:

प्रधानमन्त्री वा कुनै पनि उच्च पदाधिकारीले कुनै विवादास्पद व्यक्तिसँग कुनै प्रकारको लेनदेन गर्दा नैतिक र राजनीतिक जिम्मेवारी अझ धेरै हुन्छ। राजनीतिक पदाधिकारीले समाजमा विश्वास र इमानदारी कायम गर्नुपर्ने हुन्छ। यस्तो घटना हुँदा जनताको विश्वासमाथि ठूलो असर पर्न सक्छ, र राजनीतिक आचरणमा गम्भीर प्रश्न उठ्न सक्छ। यसले सरकारप्रति जनताको अविश्वास बढ्न सक्छ।

४. हितको द्वन्द्व (Conflict of Interest):

प्रधानमन्त्रीजस्तो उच्च पदाधिकारीको नेतृत्वमा रहेको पार्टीले विवादित व्यापारीसँग लेनदेन गर्नुले हितको द्वन्द्व (Conflict of Interest) को गम्भीर समस्या निम्त्याउँछ। एकै व्यक्ति देशको प्रधानमन्त्री पनि हो र उसको पार्टी विवादित स्रोतबाट उपहार लिन्छ भने, यसले कानुनी र नैतिक दबाब सिर्जना गर्छ। यसरी शक्ति र प्रभावको दुरुपयोग गर्ने कार्य आपराधिक मानिन्छ, र यसको जाँच कानुनी निकायहरूले गर्न सक्छन्।

५. फौजदारी संहिता, २०७४ (2017):

नेपालको फौजदारी संहितामा अपराधजन्य गतिविधि, भ्रष्टाचार, र अवैध सम्पत्ति लिने वा दिने कार्यलाई कानुनी रूपमा कारबाही गर्न सकिने प्रावधान छ। प्रधानमन्त्रीले वा उनको पार्टीले विवादित व्यापारीबाट सम्पत्ति लिँदा यो आपराधिक गतिविधिमा संलग्न भएको आरोपमा पर्दछ। फौजदारी संहितामा यस किसिमका आपराधिक गतिविधिमा मुछिएका व्यक्तिहरूलाई कानुनी कारबाहीको प्रावधान छ।

६. राजनीतिक दलसम्बन्धी ऐन, २०७३ (Political Parties Act, 2017):

राजनीतिक दलसम्बन्धी ऐन अनुसार, दलहरूले वैध स्रोतबाट मात्र सम्पत्ति प्राप्त गर्न सक्छन्। विवादित व्यापारीबाट प्राप्त जग्गाको स्रोत वैध छैन भने, दलले यो सम्पत्ति लिन पाउँदैन। यस ऐनको उल्लङ्घन हुँदा, निर्वाचन आयोगले पनि छानबिन गर्न सक्छ र दलमाथि कारबाही हुन सक्छ।

७. प्रधानमन्त्रीको भूमिका र संवैधानिक जिम्मेवारी:

प्रधानमन्त्रीको भूमिकामा रहेका व्यक्तिले कानूनको पालना गर्नुपर्छ र राष्ट्रप्रति जिम्मेवार हुनुपर्छ। प्रधानमन्त्रीजस्तो उच्च पदाधिकारीले नैतिक आचरणमा ध्यान नदिएर विवादित व्यक्तिसँगको सम्पत्ति लिँदा, त्यसले जनताको विश्वासमाथि चोट पुग्छ र सरकारको नैतिक र संवैधानिक जिम्मेवारीमाथि गम्भीर प्रश्न खडा हुन्छ।

निष्कर्ष:

यदि नेपाल कम्युनिस्ट पार्टी (नेकपा एमाले)ले राज्यबाट मुद्दा झेलिरहेको व्यापारीबाट जग्गा उपहार लिन्छ र प्रधानमन्त्री स्वयं दलका अध्यक्ष छन् भने, यो भ्रष्टाचार र सम्पत्ति शुद्धिकरण ऐनको उल्लङ्घन गर्न सक्ने गम्भीर मुद्दा बन्न सक्छ। यसलाई कानुनी रूपमा भ्रष्टाचार, सम्पत्ति शुद्धिकरण, हितको द्वन्द्व, र फौजदारी अपराधको रूपमा हेरिन्छ। साथै, यसले राजनीतिक दलको नैतिक जिम्मेवारी, पारदर्शिता, र जनताप्रतिको विश्वासलाई चुनौती दिन्छ।

ऐनअनुसार, यस्तो कार्यले कानुनी कारबाहीको सम्भावना बढाउँछ, जसमा दलका नेताहरू र सम्बद्ध पक्षहरू दुवै मुछिन सक्छन्।

विदेश बसेको छोरा-बुहारी र देशमै बसेको छोरा-बुहारीप्रति समाजको धारणा: एक गहिरो दृष्टिकोण

2024-10-12T20:33:00.003+05:30

विदेश बसेको छोरा-बुहारी र देशमै बसेको छोरा-बुहारीप्रति समाजको धारणा: एक गहिरो दृष्टिकोण

नेपालको समाजमा परिवार र सन्तानको भूमिकालाई हेर्ने दृष्टिकोणमा लामो समयदेखि परम्परागत र आर्थिक पक्षले गहिरो प्रभाव पारेको छ। विशेषगरी छोरा-बुहारीको भूमिका र तिनप्रति समाजले गर्ने मुल्यांकनमा उल्लेखनीय भिन्नता देखिन्छ, जब कुरा देशमै बसेको र विदेश गएका छोराहरूको हुन्छ। घरमै बसेर अभिभावकहरूको सेवा गर्ने छोरा-बुहारीको भूमिका र विदेशमा बसेर कमाइ गरेर फर्किने छोरा-बुहारीप्रति समाजले फरक व्यवहार गर्ने प्रवृत्ति लामो समयदेखि देखिँदै आएको छ। यस लेखमा, हामी नेपाली समाजमा रहेको यो प्रवृत्तिको गहिरो विश्लेषण गर्दैछौं।

१. घरमा रहेका छोरा-बुहारीको भूमिका: परिश्रम, प्रतिबद्धता र अपेक्षा

घरमा बस्ने छोरा-बुहारीको भूमिका अत्यन्तै महत्वपूर्ण छ, विशेषगरी नेपाली समाजमा जहाँ पारिवारिक मूल्य र एकता बलियो मानिन्छ। घरमै बसेर दैनिक कामकाज सम्हाल्ने, अभिभावकको स्याहार गर्ने, खेतीपाती, व्यवसाय वा अन्य कामकाजमा सक्रिय संलग्नता जनाउने छोरा-बुहारीको भूमिका निरन्तर हुने गर्छ। यस भूमिकालाई निर्वाह गर्दा उनीहरूले शारीरिक, मानसिक, र आर्थिक रूपमा परिवारलाई सहयोग पुर्याइरहेका हुन्छन्। बुढा बाबु-आमाको स्याहार-सुसार गर्नु, परिवारको सुख-दुःखमा भाग लिने, र दैनिक आवश्यकताहरू पूरा गर्नु उनीहरूको नियमित जिम्मेवारी हुन्छ।

तर, यो निरन्तरता सधैं सकारात्मक रूपमा हेरिँदैन। समाजमा घरमै रहेका छोराहरूको परिश्रमलाई सामान्य रूपमा बुझ्ने प्रवृत्ति देखिन्छ। उनीहरूको निरन्तर प्रयासलाई बिर्सिएर, बिदेशमा बसेका सन्तानको अस्थायी सहयोग वा भेटीलाई बढी महत्त्व दिने गरिन्छ। घरमा बसेर सम्पूर्ण परिवारको दायित्व बोकेका छोरा-बुहारीलाई कहिलेकाहीं उनीहरूले गरेका साना त्रुटिहरूलाई लिएर आलोचना गरिन्छ। "विदेश बसेको छोराले जस्तो सहयोग किन गर्न सक्दैन?" भन्ने प्रश्न उनीहरूको योगदानलाई कम आँक्ने दृष्टिकोणबाट आउँछ।

मनोवैज्ञानिक दबाब

घरमा रहेका छोरा-बुहारीले समाजमा सधैं सेवा र हेरचाहको प्रतीकका रूपमा भूमिका निभाए पनि, उनीहरू मनोवैज्ञानिक रूपमा ठूलो दबाबमा हुन्छन्। विदेशमा बसेका छोराबुहारीले मात्र कहिलेकाहीं घर फर्केर उपहार ल्याउँछन्, तर उनीहरूको उपहार र कमाइको चर्चा घरमा निकै हुने गर्छ। “यो त फलानो देशबाट आएको हो” भनेर बारम्बार सुनाउँदा घरमै बसेर सधैंको सेवा गर्ने छोराबुहारीलाई उपेक्षित महसूस हुन्छ। उनीहरूको प्रयास र योगदानले समाजमा उचित सम्मान प्राप्त नगर्दा उनीहरूको आत्मसम्मानमा असर पर्न सक्छ।

२. विदेश बसेका छोरा-बुहारीप्रति समाजको आकर्षण: सफलता र आदर्शको प्रतिनिधित्व

विदेशमा बसेका छोरा-बुहारीलाई प्रायः समाजले सफलताको प्रतिकका रूपमा हेर्ने गर्छ। उनीहरू समय-समयमा घर फर्कंदा, विशेषगरी केही उपहार वा भेटी लिएर आउँदा, समाजमा उनीहरूको चर्चा हुन्छ। उनीहरूको सफलताको कथा, विदेशमा गरेको संघर्ष, र आर्थिक प्रगतिको कुरा समाजका लागि चर्चाको विषय बन्छ। नेपालमा काम गर्नुभन्दा बिदेशमा गएर काम गर्नु ठूलो उपलब्धि मानिन्छ, जसले गर्दा घरमा भएका सन्तानको योगदानको तुलना गर्दै समाजले विदेशमा बसेका छोराहरूलाई विशेष महत्त्व दिन्छ।

विदेशमा बसेका छोराबुहारीले घरमा धेरै समय दिन नसके पनि, कहिलेकाहीं मात्र आउने हुँदा उनीहरूलाई सधैं सकारात्मक रूपमा हेरिन्छ। "विदेशबाट केही न केही राम्रो ल्याएका होलान्" भन्ने अपेक्षा समाजमा हुन्छ, र उनीहरूले परिवारलाई केही आर्थिक सहयोग गरेमा त्यो ठूलो योगदानको रूपमा हेरिन्छ। तर, यो अस्थायी सहयोगलाई निकै महत्त्व दिइन्छ, जसले गर्दा घरमा रहेका छोराबुहारीको निरन्तर परिश्रमको अवमूल्यन हुन्छ।

तुलना र सामाजिक दबाब

विदेश बसेका छोराबुहारीको सफलता र उपलब्धिलाई समाजले खुलेर प्रशंसा गर्छ, तर यो तुलना घरमै रहेका छोराबुहारीका लागि मनोवैज्ञानिक दबाबको स्रोत बन्न सक्छ। विदेशबाट आउने छोराबुहारीले ल्याएका सामानको गुणस्तरलाई बारम्बार तुलना गरिन्छ। "विदेशबाट आएको यो चिज कति राम्रो!" भन्ने भनाइ घरमा बसेका छोराबुहारीले दिनहुँ सुन्नुपर्छ। उनीहरूले जे गरे पनि, त्यो स्तरमा पुग्न नसकेको महसुस हुन्छ, र यसले उनीहरूको आत्मग्लानिलाई बल पुर्याउँछ।

३. माइतीको सम्बन्ध र समाजको दृष्टिकोण

नेपालको परम्परागत समाजमा बुहारीको माइतीसँगको सम्बन्धलाई पनि फरक दृष्टिले हेर्ने गरिन्छ। घरमै बस्ने बुहारीले नियमित रूपमा माइती जाने कुरा सामान्य मानिन्छ, तर कहिलेकाहीं यो व्यवहारलाई आलोचना गरिन्छ। "सधैं माइती जाने" भन्ने आरोप बुहारीले सहनु पर्ने अवस्था हुन्छ। विशेषगरी, बुहारीको माइतीको आर्थिक प्रगतिको खबर सुनेपछि समाजमा हल्ला हुन्छ कि यो ससुरालीको कमाइबाट गरिएको हो। यस्ता आरोपहरूले घरमा बस्ने बुहारीप्रति नकारात्मक धारणा सिर्जना हुन सक्छ।

ससुरालीमा बस्ने बुहारीको नियमित घरको कामकाज, माइतीसँगको सम्बन्ध व्यवस्थापन, र समाजको चासोलाई उचित मूल्याङ्कन नगर्ने परम्परागत समाजमा, टाढा बस्ने बुहारीको स्वतन्त्रता र जीवनशैलीलाई भने सहज रूपमा स्वीकार गरिन्छ। यसले घरमा रहेका बुहारीमा असन्तोषको भावना जन्माउँछ।

४. आर्थिक विभाजन र समाजको धारणा

नेपालमा गरिबी र बेरोजगारीका कारण, धेरै युवा विदेश जान बाध्य छन्। विदेशबाट आउने रेमिटेन्सले देशको अर्थतन्त्रमा ठूलो भूमिका खेलेको छ, तर यसले पारिवारिक सम्बन्धमा आर्थिक विभाजन पनि ल्याएको छ। विदेशमा बसेर घरमा पैसा पठाउने सन्तानलाई समाजले विशेष महत्त्व दिन्छ, किनकि उनीहरूले आर्थिक रूपमा परिवारलाई सहयोग पुर्याइरहेका हुन्छन्। तर, घरमै बसेर निरन्तर काम गर्ने सन्तानलाई समाजले उतिनै महत्त्व दिन नसक्दा, आर्थिक विभाजनका आधारमा पारिवारिक सम्बन्धमा दूरी बढ्ने गर्छ।

विदेशमा बसेका सन्तानलाई मात्र सफलताको प्रतीक मान्ने समाजको यो धारणा समयसँगै परिवर्तन हुँदै जानु पर्छ। चाहे घरमै बसेर परिवारको स्याहार गर्ने होस् वा विदेशमा गएर कमाइ गर्ने, दुवै प्रकारका योगदानहरू महत्वपूर्ण छन् र समाजले यी योगदानलाई सम्मानपूर्वक मूल्याङ्कन गर्न आवश्यक छ।

५. समयअनुसार परिवर्तन आवश्यक

समाजले हरेक प्रकारका योगदानलाई समान रूपमा हेर्न सिक्नुपर्छ। हरेक व्यक्तिको भूमिका फरक हुन्छ र तिनका आ-आफ्नै चुनौतीहरू छन्। विदेश गएर आफ्नो भविष्य बनाउने सन्तानले देशमा आउने रेमिटेन्सबाट सहयोग पुर्याए जस्तै, घरमै बसेर परिवारको हेरचाह गर्ने सन्तानको भूमिका पनि अत्यन्तै महत्वपूर्ण छ।

समाजले अब यो बुझ्न आवश्यक छ कि दुवै प्रकारका भूमिकाहरू बराबरी महत्त्वका छन्। कुनै पनि भूमिकालाई ठूला-छोटा गरेर हेरिनु हुँदैन, किनकि परिवार चलाउनु र सम्हाल्नु सामूहिक जिम्मेवारी हो। समयअनुसार समाजले पनि आफ्नो दृष्टिकोणमा परिवर्तन गर्न आवश्यक छ, ताकि हरेक सन्तानले आफ्नो भूमिकालाई सम्मानपूर्वक निभाउन सकून्।

निष्कर्ष

विदेशमा बसेका र घरमै बसेका छोराबुहारीप्रति समाजको धारणा फरक छ, र यसले पारिवारिक सम्बन्धमा विभाजन ल्याउँछ। परम्परागत सोच र आर्थिक आधारले समाजमा विभाजन ल्याए पनि, समयअनुसार यो दृष्टिकोणमा परिवर्तन गर्न आवश्यक छ। दुवै प्रकारका योगदानलाई समान रूपमा मूल्याङ्कन गरेर, पारिवारिक एकता र सहकार्यलाई प्रोत्साहन गर्नुपर्छ। समाजले हरेक व्यक्तिको भूमिका सम्मानपूर्वक स्वीकार गर्नुपर्ने बेला आएको छ।

Empowering the Future: A Message to the Youth

Empowering the Future: A Message to the Youth

By Bodh Raj Lamsal
23 June 2016

As we stand in the middle of 2016, the world continues to change rapidly, and the role of today’s youth is more critical than ever before. Young people are at the forefront of shaping the future — the leaders, innovators, and change-makers who hold the potential to transform societies and redefine success in ways that matter. Yet, with all the opportunities and challenges that lie ahead, how can the youth of today harness their potential effectively?

Having navigated both personal and professional challenges myself, I want to share some reflections and advice that I hope will resonate with today’s youth, as they chart their course for the future.

1. Lifelong Learning: The Key to Future Success

In a world where change is constant, the ability to continuously learn and adapt is the most valuable skill. Today’s youth must embrace the mindset of lifelong learning. Whether it’s learning a new skill, developing a new habit, or staying informed about global trends, continuous growth is essential.

As I reflect on my journey, starting in the IT sector and then transitioning into hospitality, I realize that each new skill, challenge, and lesson helped me progress. The world doesn’t wait for anyone, and the more adaptable and curious you are, the more prepared you’ll be for future opportunities and challenges.

2. Purpose Over Popularity

One of the most important questions you can ask yourself is: What do I want to contribute to the world? It’s easy to get caught up in the pursuit of fame, money, or temporary satisfaction, but finding your purpose will provide clarity and direction. Align your goals and actions with a deeper purpose that not only benefits you but also creates value for others.

In my own career, I found my purpose in hospitality — serving others and creating memorable experiences. This has been my guiding force, helping me stay focused through successes and setbacks alike. It’s vital for young people to take time to reflect and discover what truly drives them.

3. Embracing Challenges with Resilience

Challenges are a part of life, and failure is often the best teacher. Many young people fear failure or rejection, but it’s important to understand that resilience is what separates success from stagnation. Every setback is an opportunity to learn and grow.

In my career, I’ve faced numerous obstacles, but those experiences have shaped who I am today. Whether it’s economic downturns, industry challenges, or personal struggles, resilience is what will keep you moving forward.

4. Harnessing Technology and Innovation

The youth of today have an incredible advantage — technology. The digital revolution is reshaping industries, economies, and societies. From the rise of social media to the transformative power of artificial intelligence, the tools available to young people today are unprecedented.

As of 2016, technological innovation is opening up new possibilities across sectors. I encourage the youth to leverage these advancements not just for entertainment, but to solve pressing problems, create businesses, and connect with others globally. Technology is the key to unlocking a future where your ideas can reach millions of people.

5. The Power of Giving Back

While it’s essential to focus on your personal growth, giving back to your community is equally important. A meaningful life isn’t just about individual success — it’s about how you contribute to the well-being of others. By participating in community service, supporting social causes, or mentoring younger generations, you create a ripple effect that benefits society as a whole.

Throughout my own journey, I’ve always believed in the power of collective action. Whether through my involvement in organizations like Lions Club or other community initiatives, I’ve seen how supporting others helps build stronger, more resilient communities.

6. Curiosity and Humility: Pillars of Growth

Stay curious. The world is full of opportunities waiting to be explored. Curiosity drives innovation, creativity, and a desire to explore new ideas. However, humility is just as important. No matter how much success you achieve, staying grounded and acknowledging that there’s always more to learn will keep you growing and evolving.

7. Taking Ownership of Your Future

Finally, the most important message I can give to today’s youth is to take responsibility for your own future. While the world around you may present challenges, your future is ultimately shaped by the decisions you make today. Don’t wait for change to happen to you — take charge, be proactive, and make bold moves toward your dreams.

As we look to the future from June 2016, the opportunities ahead are vast. The world needs young leaders, innovators, and creators who are driven not just by personal success, but by the desire to make a meaningful difference. It’s time for the youth to rise to this challenge, embrace the journey, and create a future that reflects their highest aspirations.

The future is yours to shape. Go make it extraordinary.

My 50 Dreams: A Journey of Fulfillment and Self-Discovery

2024-10-06T22:30:00.003+05:30

My 50 Dreams: A Journey of Fulfillment and Self-Discovery

When I was 18, I made a list of 50 dreams I wanted to achieve in my lifetime. My first dream was to become self-dependent, and my 50th was to own a house. By the age of 36, I had accomplished them all. But once I reached the summit of those goals, I was left wondering: What’s next?

After achieving all my material goals, I began searching for a deeper purpose. I realized that life is fleeting—we are here for only 1,008 months. Everything we accumulate, no matter how significant, is temporary. The house I thought was mine will one day belong to my children, and eventually, to others. Life itself is impermanent—not just our possessions, but our relationships, and even the essence of who we are.

This insight shifted my perspective. Instead of overthinking life, I decided to live it fully. Life is about embracing its ups and downs, accepting that it cannot always be understood. I realized that what truly matters is continuous karma—doing the work we are meant to do without being attached to the outcome.

I also came to understand that religion and spirituality are two distinct things. Religion often divides, while spirituality unites. Spirituality transcends beliefs and brings people together, reminding us of our shared humanity.

But my journey didn’t stop there. Recently, I added two new dreams to my life’s path:

Hospitality – My passion for serving people led me to the hospitality industry, where I now work with Landmark Hotels and Resorts as the Group General Manager. I view hospitality as a way to make people feel valued, cared for, and at home, no matter where they are.
Club Sixty – I want to understand the life cycle of aging, particularly for those aged 60 and above. Through Club Sixty, I hope to serve this group by creating an environment where they can find purpose, joy, and companionship. This is a crucial time in life, often filled with reflection and wisdom, but it also requires attention, care, and connection.

In addition to these dreams, I’ve come to realize that I am, and will always be, a learner. Life constantly teaches us, and I’ve embraced this understanding with humility. I’m always open to new insights, new perspectives, and new ways to grow.

I kindly ask all of you to connect with me and share your advice on these two subjects—hospitality and Club Sixty. Your thoughts will help me grow, continue learning, and better serve people with passion and purpose.

Let’s join hands and make a difference!

"Nothing is permanent in this world. Neither you nor your life. Neither your relationships nor anything else. Everything is temporary — love, hate, trust, or anything else. So enjoy your life, live it fully, and rock it! Life rocks.

Development can happen under any form of governance, whether monarchy, republic, or dictatorship. In the Gulf countries, monarchies have led to significant development. North Korea, despite being under dictatorship, has its own progress. In China, a communist government is driving development. It’s not the political system but the intent of the leaders that matters. It took nearly 30 years to understand this."

"यस संसारमा स्थायी केही छैन। न तिमी न तिम्रो जीवन। न तिम्रा सम्बन्धहरू न अरू केही। प्रेम, घृणा, विश्वास वा अरू कुनै पनि चीज अस्थायी छन्। त्यसैले आफ्नो जीवनलाई आनन्द लिनुहोस्, बाँच्नुहोस्, र यसलाई रक गर्नुहोस्! जीवनले रक गर्छ।

विकास जुनसुकै शासन प्रणालीमा पनि सम्भव छ, चाहे राजतन्त्र होस्, गणतन्त्र होस्, वा तानाशाही। खाडी देशहरूमा राजाको शासनले उल्लेखनीय विकास गरेको छ। उत्तर कोरियामा तानाशाही भए पनि विकास भएको छ। छिमेकी चीनमा कम्युनिस्ट सरकारले विकास गरिरहेको छ। यो नेताको नीति होइन, उनको नियत हो, जसले विकासलाई गति दिन्छ। यो बुझ्न करिब ३० वर्ष लाग्यो।"

How to make peace in mind?

2023-08-26T19:07:00.001+05:30

Mindfulness and Meditation:
Practicing mindfulness and meditation can help you stay present and reduce anxiety. These techniques involve focusing your attention on the present moment, which can help calm your mind and reduce racing thoughts.
Deep Breathing:
Engage in deep, slow breathing whenever you feel stressed or anxious. Deep breathing activates the body's relaxation response and can help you regain a sense of calm.
Healthy Lifestyle:
Regular exercise, a balanced diet, and adequate sleep contribute to a healthier mind. Physical well-being has a significant impact on mental well-being.
Positive Affirmations:
Use positive affirmations to challenge and overcome self-sabotaging thoughts. Replace negative self-talk with uplifting and empowering statements.
Gratitude Practice:
Cultivate gratitude by regularly acknowledging and appreciating the positive aspects of your life. This can shift your focus from what's lacking to what you already have.
Limit Information Overload:
In today's digital age, we're bombarded with information. Limit your exposure to negative news and social media, as they can contribute to stress and anxiety.
Set Boundaries:
Learn to say no when you're overwhelmed. Setting healthy boundaries helps prevent burnout and maintains your emotional well-being.
Simplify Your Life:
Reduce clutter and simplify your environment. A tidy and organized space can have a positive impact on your mental state.
Practice Acceptance:
Accept that life is full of ups and downs. Trying to control everything can lead to frustration. Embrace uncertainty and learn to adapt.
Engage in Activities You Love:
Make time for hobbies and activities that bring you joy. Engaging in things you're passionate about can have a therapeutic effect.
Seek Support:
Don't hesitate to talk to friends, family, or a mental health professional if you're struggling. Sometimes, discussing your feelings can provide relief and perspective.
Self-Compassion:
Treat yourself with the same kindness and understanding that you would offer to a friend. Avoid self-criticism and practice self-compassion.
Practice Letting Go:
Holding onto grudges, resentment, or past mistakes can weigh you down. Practice forgiveness, both for yourself and others, to free up mental space.
Engage in Relaxation Techniques:
Explore activities such as yoga, progressive muscle relaxation, or aromatherapy to relax your mind and body.

Remember that achieving peace of mind is an ongoing process and requires consistent effort. Different strategies work for different people, so feel free to experiment and find what resonates best with you.

10 Surprising Benefits of Yoga and Meditation

2019-09-15T22:56:00.002+05:30

1. Improved Brain Function

Regular yoga and meditation stimulate brain activity, improving memory, focus, and mental clarity. This is linked to increased grey matter and better neural communication.

2. Enhanced Emotional Well-Being

Yoga and meditation help regulate emotions, reduce anxiety, and improve mood by balancing neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine.

3. Boosted Immunity

Both practices reduce stress hormones like cortisol, which can suppress the immune system. Yoga and meditation also promote healthy breathing, helping to remove toxins.

4. Better Sleep

Mindfulness from yoga and meditation enhances melatonin production, helping individuals fall asleep faster and enjoy deeper, more restful sleep.

5. Pain Relief

Yoga and meditation help alleviate chronic pain by promoting relaxation, reducing inflammation, and increasing the release of endorphins, the body’s natural painkillers.

6. Increased Flexibility and Mobility

Yoga improves the body’s flexibility and joint mobility, which is essential for maintaining muscle health and reducing the risk of injury as we age.

7. Reduced Blood Pressure

Studies show that meditation, combined with yoga postures, can significantly lower blood pressure by reducing tension and calming the mind and body.

8. Strengthened Relationships

Practicing mindfulness fosters better emotional control, active listening, and empathy, which can improve communication and strengthen relationships with others.

9. Enhanced Creativity

Yoga and meditation help reduce mental clutter, fostering greater creativity and problem-solving by allowing new ideas to flow more freely.

10. Slower Aging

Yoga and meditation are associated with longer telomeres (protective caps on chromosomes), which can slow cellular aging and promote longevity.

By incorporating yoga and meditation into your daily routine, you can experience profound physical, mental, and emotional transformations!

Find Your Own Way: The Power of Personal Responsibility

Find Your Own Way: The Power of Personal Responsibility

In life, one universal truth remains: you are responsible for your own path. Whether you're thriving with success or facing challenges, every experience is shaped by your actions and mindset. Understanding this can be both empowering and daunting, but it’s the key to unlocking true happiness and achievement.

If you are happy, it’s because of you—your choices, your attitude, and your efforts. If you find yourself unhappy, again, it’s a result of your decisions and how you view the world around you. The same goes for financial success. If you are earning well, it’s because of your hard work, strategic thinking, and persistence. Conversely, if you're struggling financially, the reasons may lie within your habits, mindset, or lack of focus.

The critical takeaway is that everything happening in your life is a reflection of you. Your thoughts shape your reality. If you train your mind to focus on happiness, you will naturally seek out ways to achieve it. Once you start this journey and consistently work in that direction, you will find the solutions, doors will open, and opportunities will present themselves.

It all starts with your thoughts. Once you think about becoming happy or successful, you begin to align your actions with that desire. And this is where the magic happens—you find the way. No one else can do this for you, because no one else is living your life. The moment you take full responsibility for both your successes and setbacks, you become the architect of your destiny.

The journey to finding your way may not always be smooth, but as long as you persist in moving forward, learning from failures, and staying focused on your goals, you will get there. Success, happiness, and fulfillment are all within reach. You just have to believe in yourself, take responsibility, and keep going.

So, no matter where you are right now, embrace the fact that you hold the power to create the life you want. It’s your path to walk, your story to write—find your own way.

संबिधान पछी देश

2016-07-11T17:12:00.002+05:30

संविधानपछिको नेपाल: अवसर र चुनौतीहरू

२०७२ सालमा नेपालको संविधान जारी हुँदा यो ऐतिहासिक क्षणको रूपमा स्वागत गरियो। लामो समयको राजनीतिक संक्रमण र द्वन्द्वपछि संविधानले देशलाई नयाँ दिशा दिने अपेक्षा गरिएको थियो। संविधानले संघीयता, समावेशीता, लोकतन्त्र र मानव अधिकारलाई सुनिश्चित गर्दै मुलुकलाई स्थायित्व र विकासको मार्गमा डोर्‍याउने आशा व्यक्त गर्‍यो। तर, संविधानपछिको नेपालको अवस्था जर्जर छ भन्ने जनताको आवाज अहिले व्यापक रूपमा सुनिन थालेको छ। राजनीतिक स्थिरता प्राप्त भए पनि विकासका क्षेत्रमा उल्लेखनीय प्रगति हुन नसकेको र देशले आर्थिक संकटको सामना गरिरहेको यथार्थ पनि छ। यस लेखमा, संविधानपछिको नेपालको अवस्था, समस्याहरू, र सम्भावनाहरूलाई छलफल गरिनेछ।

१. राजनीतिक स्थिरता, तर आर्थिक संकट

नेपालले संविधानपछि तीनवटा चुनाव (स्थानीय, प्रादेशिक, र संघीय) सम्पन्न गरेर लोकतान्त्रिक प्रक्रियालाई बलियो बनायो। तर, राजनीतिक स्थिरता कायम गर्न यति लामो समय लाग्दा आर्थिक सुधारका मुद्दाहरू पृष्ठभूमिमा परे। विकास बजेटको अभाव र गलत आर्थिक व्यवस्थापनले मुलुकको आर्थिक प्रगतिको गति निकै सुस्त भएको छ। देशको कुल घरेलु उत्पादन (GDP) अपेक्षाकृत कम रहेको छ, र बेरोजगारी दर उच्च छ। अधिकांश जनशक्ति विदेश पलायन भइरहेको छ, जसले देशभित्रको उत्पादकत्वमा प्रतिकूल असर पारिरहेको छ।

२. विकास बजेट र खर्चमा असक्षम व्यवस्था

नेपालको विकास बजेटको व्यवस्थापनमा व्यापक समस्या देखिन्छ। बजेटको पर्याप्तता भन्दा पनि यसको सही व्यवस्थापन र खर्च गर्न असक्षमता प्रमुख चुनौती बनेको छ। विकास निर्माणका लागि छुट्याइएको बजेट समयमै खर्च नहुनु, ठूला आयोजना समयमा सम्पन्न नहुनु, र भ्रष्टाचारको जालोले विकासको गतिलाई ठप्प बनाएको छ। ठूला परियोजनाहरू, जस्तै पूर्वाधार निर्माण, जलविद्युत् आयोजना, र सडक विकास, लागत वृद्धिका कारण सम्पन्न हुन नसक्दा देशको आर्थिक अवस्थालाई थप कमजोर बनाएको छ।

३. संघीयता कार्यान्वयनका चुनौतीहरू

संविधानले संघीयताको अवधारणा ल्याएर शक्ति विकेन्द्रीकरणको दिशामा कदम चाले पनि यसको प्रभावकारी कार्यान्वयनमा चुनौतीहरू देखिएका छन्। संघ, प्रदेश, र स्थानीय तहबीचको शक्ति बाँडफाँट र समन्वयको अभावले विकासका योजनाहरूमा ढिलाइ भएको छ। प्रदेशहरूमा उचित संरचना र स्रोतहरूको अभावले संघीयताले अपेक्षित लाभ दिन सकेको छैन। संघीय संरचनालाई सुदृढ गर्न आवश्यक कानुनी तथा प्रशासनिक सुधारको खाँचो अझै प्रस्ट देखिन्छ।

४. विदेशी ऋण र लगानीको अभाव

नेपालको आर्थिक व्यवस्थापनमा मुख्य चुनौतीमध्ये एक भनेको विदेशी लगानी र ऋणको सही उपयोग हो। संविधानपछि सरकारहरूले विदेशी ऋणको सहारा लिएर विकास योजनाहरू अघि बढाउने प्रयास गरेका छन्, तर यी ऋणहरूलाई कुशलतापूर्वक प्रयोग गर्न नसक्दा समस्या बल्झिएको छ। विदेशी लगानीकर्ताहरूको लागि राजनीतिक अस्थिरता, संरचनात्मक समस्याहरू, र भ्रष्टाचार मुख्य अवरोध बनेको छ, जसले नेपाललाई आर्थिक आत्मनिर्भरताको दिशामा लैजान कठिन बनाइरहेको छ।

५. बेरोजगारी र जनशक्ति पलायन

संविधानपछि पनि नेपालले बेरोजगारी दरमा उल्लेखनीय सुधार गर्न सकेको छैन। शिक्षित युवाहरूको लागि देशभित्र रोजगारीका अवसरहरू सिर्जना गर्न नसक्दा ठूलो जनशक्ति विदेश पलायन भइरहेको छ। यसले देशभित्रको श्रम बजारमा कमी ल्याउनुका साथै उत्पादनशीलताको गिरावट निम्त्याएको छ। रेमिट्यान्सले देशको अर्थतन्त्रलाई टेवा दिइरहे पनि दीर्घकालीन रूपमा यो स्थायी समाधान होइन।

६. समावेशीता र समानताको सवाल

संविधानले समावेशीता र समानताको सिद्धान्तलाई सुनिश्चित गरे पनि व्यवहारिक कार्यान्वयनमा अझै चुनौतीहरू छन्। विभिन्न जातीय, लैङ्गिक, र भौगोलिक समुदायहरूले संविधानले सुनिश्चित गरेका अधिकारहरू प्राप्त गर्न संघर्ष गरिरहेका छन्। सामाजिक समानता र समावेशीता तर्फको यात्रा अझै अपूर्ण छ, जसले गर्दा केही समुदायहरू संविधानप्रति असन्तुष्टि जनाइरहेका छन्।

७. भौतिक पूर्वाधार र विकासको गति

भौतिक पूर्वाधार निर्माणमा भने संविधानपछि केही सकारात्मक परिवर्तनहरू देखिएका छन्। तराई-मधेशको फास्ट ट्र्याक, जलविद्युत् आयोजनाहरू, र सडक विस्तारका योजनाहरूमा प्रगति भएको छ। यद्यपि, तीव्रता र गुणस्तरमा अपेक्षित परिणाम प्राप्त नभएको गुनासो पनि उतिकै छ। ठूला परियोजनाहरूमा ढिलासुस्ती, बजेट अभाव, र कमजोर नीतिगत व्यवस्थापनको कारण यी आयोजनाहरू पूर्णरूपमा सफल हुन सकेका छैनन्।

८. प्राकृतिक विपत्ति र पुनर्निर्माणको चुनौती

संविधान जारी भएपछि भूकम्पपछिको पुनर्निर्माणमा पनि चुनौतीहरू देखिएका छन्। विपत्ति व्यवस्थापनमा सरकारको ढिलाइ र प्रभावकारी योजनाको अभावले पुनर्निर्माण कार्यमा अपेक्षाकृत गति दिन नसकेको आरोप लागिरहेको छ। साथै, प्राकृतिक स्रोतहरूको सही उपयोग गर्न नसक्दा आर्थिक समृद्धिको मार्गमा अवरोध उत्पन्न भएको छ।

९. भ्रष्टाचारको विकराल समस्या

संविधानपछिको नेपालमा भ्रष्टाचार प्रमुख समस्या बनेको छ। भ्रष्टाचारले सरकारका हरेक तहमा असर पुर्‍याइरहेको छ, जसले विकासका कार्यहरूमा ढिलासुस्ती ल्याएको छ। सार्वजनिक बजेटको दुरुपयोग र पारदर्शिताको अभावले मुलुकको आर्थिक स्थायित्वलाई कमजोर बनाइरहेको छ।

१०. सम्भावनाहरू र सुधारको बाटो

यद्यपि, संविधानपछिको नेपालले विकासको मार्गमा केही अवरोधहरू सामना गरे पनि सम्भावनाहरू पनि उत्तिकै छन्। नेपालको भौगोलिक अवस्थिति, जैविक विविधता, पर्यटनको ठूलो सम्भावना, र जलस्रोतका धनी देश भएकाले उचित नीति, सुशासन, र भ्रष्टाचार नियन्त्रणमार्फत देशलाई आर्थिक प्रगतिको मार्गमा अघि बढाउन सकिन्छ।

निष्कर्ष:

संविधानपछिको नेपालले एकातिर राजनीतिक स्थायित्व र संघीय संरचना जस्ता सकारात्मक परिवर्तनहरू अनुभव गरिरहेको छ भने अर्कोतिर विकास बजेटको अभाव, आर्थिक संकट, र भ्रष्टाचारले जनतामा असन्तोष ल्याएको छ। यी चुनौतीहरूको समाधान गर्दै समृद्धिको मार्गमा अघि बढ्न नेपालले सुधारात्मक कदमहरू चाल्नुपर्ने समय आएको छ। सुशासन, प्रभावकारी नीतिगत सुधार, र आर्थिक व्यवस्थापनमा प्रगति गर्न सके मात्र संविधानले कल्पना गरेको समृद्ध नेपाल सम्भव हुनेछ।

The Future of Hospitality in Nepal and India

2016-07-07T19:23:00.003+05:30

The Future of Hospitality in Nepal and India

The hospitality industry in both Nepal and India has seen significant transformation over the years, and as of 2016, the sector holds immense potential for growth. With both nations being rich in cultural heritage, diverse landscapes, and unique tourism opportunities, the hospitality industry is poised to evolve into a more dynamic and competitive sector in the coming years. Let's examine the key trends and opportunities that define the future of hospitality in Nepal and India, particularly as seen from the perspective of July 2016.

1. Post-Earthquake Recovery and Growth in Nepal

Nepal's hospitality sector, though heavily impacted by the 2015 earthquake, is on the road to recovery. The devastating earthquake caused significant damage to the tourism infrastructure, resulting in a sharp decline in tourist arrivals in 2015. However, 2016 has seen signs of recovery as global support and government initiatives to rebuild key tourism sites have encouraged tourists to return. The government’s focus on promoting Nepal as a safe and attractive destination, especially for adventure tourism, spiritual retreats, and eco-tourism, is expected to fuel the growth of the hospitality industry in the years ahead.

Moreover, the "Visit Nepal" campaign, initially planned for 2018, is likely to contribute to a surge in tourist arrivals as promotional efforts gear up. The introduction of modern hotel chains, resorts, and boutique hotels in key tourist destinations such as Kathmandu, Pokhara, Chitwan, and Lumbini will add momentum to the revival of the hospitality sector. Investors, both local and international, are seeing opportunities in rebuilding and expanding hospitality services in the country.

2. Rise of Adventure and Eco-Tourism in Nepal

Nepal is renowned globally as the land of the Himalayas, with Mount Everest being its crown jewel. As interest in adventure sports like trekking, mountaineering, and river rafting continues to grow, the hospitality industry is focusing on developing eco-friendly resorts and lodges catering to adventure enthusiasts. Post-earthquake, there has been a shift towards more sustainable and environment-conscious development, with a focus on preserving natural heritage while enhancing guest experiences.

The future of Nepal’s hospitality sector is likely to revolve around nature-based tourism, wildlife safaris, and community-based tourism, where guests can immerse themselves in the local culture. As infrastructure improves, particularly in remote areas, these niche segments will further expand, attracting a different profile of tourists looking for authentic experiences.

3. Boom in India’s Hospitality Industry

India’s hospitality industry, already a key player in the global market, is poised for remarkable growth. As of 2016, India ranks among the top tourist destinations in the world, thanks to its rich cultural heritage, diverse ecosystems, and growing global connectivity. The Indian government’s focus on developing tourism through initiatives like “Incredible India” and “Make in India” is playing a critical role in transforming the hospitality sector.

Several factors point to a bright future for India’s hospitality industry:

Expanding Middle Class: With India’s rising middle class and increasing disposable income, domestic tourism is expected to flourish. This will drive demand for both budget and luxury accommodations across the country. Domestic travelers are exploring not only popular destinations like Rajasthan, Goa, and Kerala but also offbeat locations, thereby expanding the hospitality market in smaller towns and cities.
Growing International Tourist Arrivals: India is increasingly attracting international tourists for its cultural experiences, historical monuments like the Taj Mahal, and wellness tourism (Ayurveda, yoga retreats). The country’s enhanced airport infrastructure and visa facilitation, including e-visa schemes for over 150 countries, are expected to boost tourist arrivals.
Business and MICE Tourism: As India continues to emerge as a global economic hub, its hospitality sector will benefit from the growing Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Exhibitions (MICE) tourism. Cities like Mumbai, Delhi, Bangalore, and Hyderabad are already seeing growth in business travelers, leading to a surge in demand for world-class hotels, conference centers, and luxury accommodations.

4. Emergence of Hotel Chains and Luxury Brands in India

India’s hospitality landscape is seeing the rapid expansion of both domestic and international hotel brands. Leading global chains such as Marriott, Hilton, Accor, and Hyatt are aggressively expanding their footprints in India, particularly in metro cities and tourist hotspots. Simultaneously, homegrown brands like Taj Hotels, Oberoi Group, and ITC Hotels continue to dominate the luxury segment, while chains like Lemon Tree, Ginger Hotels, and FabHotels cater to budget-conscious travelers.

The demand for mid-range and budget hotels is also on the rise, driven by domestic tourists, business travelers, and millennials seeking affordable yet comfortable accommodations. The future will likely see a surge in boutique hotels and serviced apartments, particularly in tier-2 and tier-3 cities, as travel becomes more accessible to all.

5. Technology and Innovation: The Game Changers

Both Nepal and India’s hospitality industries are being shaped by technological innovations. The adoption of digital platforms for hotel bookings, customer service, and marketing is redefining how hotels operate. Online travel agencies (OTAs) like MakeMyTrip, Yatra, and Booking.com are becoming critical players in the hospitality ecosystem, helping small and large hotels reach a wider audience.

Moreover, mobile applications and artificial intelligence (AI) are transforming guest experiences. From personalized booking experiences to seamless check-ins, smart rooms, and instant customer service, technology will continue to revolutionize the hospitality landscape.

6. Challenges and Opportunities

While the future looks promising, both Nepal and India’s hospitality industries face certain challenges that need to be addressed:

Infrastructure Development: In Nepal, especially, there is a need for significant infrastructure improvements in terms of transportation, roads, airports, and tourism services. While India has made strides in this area, connectivity in remote regions remains a challenge.
Sustainability: Both countries must focus on sustainable tourism practices, given the pressure on natural resources and cultural heritage sites. Ensuring that development does not harm the environment will be key to the long-term success of the hospitality industry.
Skilled Workforce: As the hospitality industry grows, the demand for skilled workers will increase. Both Nepal and India need to invest in hospitality training and education to equip workers with the necessary skills to deliver exceptional service.

Conclusion

As of July 2016, the future of hospitality in Nepal and India holds tremendous potential. In Nepal, the industry is recovering from the impact of the 2015 earthquake and is set to grow through adventure tourism, eco-tourism, and cultural tourism. In India, the booming middle class, growing international tourism, and expanding business travel will drive further growth in the hospitality sector. Both countries must focus on infrastructure, sustainability, and technological innovation to fully realize the potential of their hospitality industries in the coming years.

We Have to fight Ourselves

2015-12-19T16:59:00.006+05:30

We Have to Fight Ourselves

By Bodh Raj Lamsal
19 December 2015

As I sit here reflecting on the many challenges life presents, one realization stands out more than any other: the toughest battle we ever fight is the one we wage against ourselves. This is not a battle with external forces, but a deeply personal struggle to overcome the limitations, fears, doubts, and habits that reside within us.

In a world full of distractions, pressures, and expectations, it’s easy to think that our biggest obstacles come from outside — from society, family, or circumstances. However, the real challenge lies in confronting our own thoughts, beliefs, and behaviors. It is this internal battle that determines whether we live a life of purpose or merely react to the world around us.

1. The Battle Against Fear

Fear is a powerful force that holds many people back. Whether it’s the fear of failure, the fear of judgment, or the fear of the unknown, it prevents us from taking risks and pursuing our dreams. The truth is, fear will always be present, but we must learn to confront it head-on. The more we allow fear to control our actions, the more we limit our potential.

I’ve learned through experience that overcoming fear isn’t about pretending it doesn’t exist. It’s about recognizing it, accepting it, and moving forward in spite of it. Every time you take a step toward your goal, even with fear by your side, you win a small victory in the battle against yourself.

2. Overcoming Self-Doubt

One of the greatest internal struggles we face is the fight against self-doubt. We are often our own harshest critics, constantly questioning our abilities and worth. This self-doubt can become paralyzing, preventing us from taking opportunities or striving for greatness.

In 2015, as I write this, I realize that doubt is natural. It’s human. But what matters is how we respond to it. Instead of letting doubt stop you, use it as a catalyst for growth. Believe in your potential, and remember that every person who has ever achieved greatness has faced moments of doubt. The difference lies in those who push past it and continue to pursue their dreams.

3. Conquering Bad Habits

Habits shape our lives, whether we realize it or not. Many of us are caught in the cycle of habits that no longer serve us — procrastination, laziness, or unhealthy routines. These habits often hold us back from achieving what we truly want.

The fight against these bad habits is one of the most important internal battles we can wage. Change is hard, but it is necessary if we want to grow. Start small. Replace one bad habit with a positive one, and soon you’ll find yourself on a path of self-improvement that will help you achieve more than you ever thought possible.

4. Challenging Limiting Beliefs

Throughout our lives, we form beliefs about ourselves and the world around us. Some of these beliefs are empowering, but others are limiting. These limiting beliefs tell us that we’re not good enough, not capable, or not deserving of success. They keep us from reaching our full potential and living a life of fulfillment.

To fight this, we must challenge those beliefs, question their validity, and replace them with empowering thoughts. Remind yourself that you are capable of achieving great things. Surround yourself with positivity, and actively work to change the narrative you tell yourself.

5. Pushing Beyond Comfort Zones

Growth happens outside of comfort zones. Yet, many of us spend our lives staying within the familiar, never venturing beyond what we know. While comfort may feel safe, it doesn’t lead to progress. To win the battle against yourself, you must push beyond your comfort zones.

Take that extra step. Do something that scares you. Whether it’s pursuing a new career, taking on a challenging project, or even facing a personal fear, stepping outside your comfort zone is where true growth and transformation happen.

6. Mastering Discipline

Discipline is perhaps the most important aspect of winning the battle against yourself. Self-discipline is the ability to do what needs to be done, even when you don’t feel like doing it. It’s the foundation of success in every area of life.

Whether it’s maintaining a healthy lifestyle, achieving career goals, or developing positive relationships, discipline is what keeps you on track when motivation fades. Discipline is the difference between dreaming about success and actually achieving it.

7. Becoming Your Best Self

Ultimately, the goal of fighting yourself isn’t just about overcoming challenges — it’s about becoming the best version of yourself. Every victory over fear, doubt, laziness, or limiting beliefs brings you one step closer to living a life of purpose and fulfillment.

This internal battle is ongoing. You will face it every day in small and large ways. But remember that every time you make a choice that aligns with your goals, dreams, and values, you’re winning that fight.

Conclusion: The Journey Within

As I write this in December 2015, I reflect on my own journey and the countless battles I’ve fought with myself along the way. I’ve learned that the greatest rewards come not from external achievements, but from the personal growth that happens when we conquer our inner struggles.

So, to all who read this, I encourage you to fight the battles within. It’s not easy, but it is worth it. The more you fight and overcome yourself, the more you’ll realize that your greatest competitor, your greatest challenge, and your greatest ally — is you.

Let's Talk About Reality: A Personal Reflection

By Bodh Raj Lamsal
18 December 2015

In a world filled with distractions, it’s easy to lose ourselves in the endless cycle of social media, status updates, and the images we project to others. We post pictures, engage in discussions, and present an edited version of our lives for the world to see. But behind those pictures and conversations, many of us find ourselves searching for something deeper — the meaning of life, the purpose of our existence. I find myself at that point today.

The Search for Meaning

Why did we come into this beautiful world? It’s a question that has perplexed humanity for generations. And yet, in the hustle of daily life, it’s a question we often push to the side, choosing instead to focus on the superficial. I’ve posted countless pictures on Facebook, engaged in endless chats, and shared my thoughts on social media, but now I’m asking myself — what’s the real purpose behind all of it? What am I truly seeking?

In the process of reflecting, I’ve realized something profound: It’s very easy to give advice to others, to tell people what they should or shouldn’t do. But when it comes to truly understanding oneself, the task becomes infinitely more difficult. And that’s where the real work begins.

Knowing Oneself: The Hardest Task

For years, I’ve been doing the easier task — offering advice, telling others what’s right and wrong, guiding people on what they should do in their lives. But now, I’ve decided it’s time to embark on the most difficult task: knowing myself.

If I don’t like people who drink and drive, why should I tolerate such behavior in myself? If I disapprove of those who deceive others, then the only way to live with integrity is to ensure that I, too, am free of deception. It’s one thing to identify flaws in others; it’s another thing entirely to turn the mirror on oneself and face those same flaws within.

Living with Integrity

Life becomes meaningful when we align our actions with our values. If I believe that honesty, kindness, and responsibility are virtues to be upheld, then I must hold myself accountable to those same standards. It’s easy to point fingers and judge others, but true growth happens when we start living in accordance with the values we preach.

The Challenge of Choosing the Hard Path

I’ve come to realize that the hardest task is to do what you truly believe is right. It’s easy to talk about what we should do, but it’s incredibly hard to consistently live up to those ideals. That’s why I’ve decided to choose the hard path. It’s time to stop telling others how they should live their lives and start focusing on my own personal growth.

I’m ready to make that choice, to take on the difficult challenge of becoming the person I aspire to be. Yes, it’s hard. It’s much easier to live passively, to go with the flow, and to make excuses for not living authentically. But the hard path is where true fulfillment lies.

Conclusion: Start with Yourself

As I write this on 18 December 2015, I find myself on the cusp of a new journey — a journey of self-discovery and self-mastery. I no longer want to be the person who simply talks about what’s right. I want to live what’s right. I want my actions to reflect my values.

To everyone reading this, I invite you to join me on this difficult journey. It’s not about being perfect, and it’s not about achieving some idealized version of ourselves overnight. It’s about the commitment to try, to continuously strive to align our lives with our values.

The hardest task isn’t giving advice to others. The hardest task is taking responsibility for ourselves, confronting our weaknesses, and making the conscious decision to live in a way that reflects our true selves. Let’s choose the hard path — and let’s start now.

Good leader, not a ruler Must listen.

2015-05-20T01:32:00.004+05:30

A Good Leader, Not a Ruler

By Bodh Raj Lamsal

20 May 2015

Today, I had the privilege of listening to a powerful speech by Barack Obama. His insights on leadership resonated deeply with me and prompted a reflection on what it truly means to be a good leader. As I consider his words, I am reminded that effective leadership is not about ruling over others; it’s about serving and listening to those you lead.

The Essence of Leadership

In my experience, true leadership is rooted in understanding and empathy. A leader's role is not to dictate, but to guide. It’s not about power, but about responsibility. Leaders must recognize that their primary duty is to listen, to comprehend the needs and concerns of their team, and to act in ways that empower those they lead.

Listening is a critical skill that sets great leaders apart. When leaders take the time to listen, they not only gain valuable insights, but they also foster an environment of trust and respect. People feel valued and understood, which enhances collaboration and drives motivation. In contrast, a ruler may demand compliance, but a good leader earns the commitment and loyalty of their team through open communication and mutual respect.

Lessons from Barack Obama

Barack Obama’s leadership style exemplifies the importance of being a good listener. His ability to engage with diverse groups, acknowledge differing perspectives, and adapt his approach is a testament to his commitment to inclusive leadership. Throughout his presidency, he often emphasized the importance of dialogue and collaboration, reminding us that progress is made not by imposing our will but by working together to find common ground.

His speeches often highlighted stories of everyday people, showcasing how their experiences shaped his policies. This practice underscores the notion that a leader should always remain grounded and connected to the community they serve. Listening to the voices of others not only enriches decision-making but also strengthens the fabric of society.

The Power of Empathy

Empathy is another cornerstone of effective leadership. A good leader understands the challenges and struggles faced by their team and responds with compassion and support. When leaders demonstrate empathy, they create a culture of openness and vulnerability, encouraging team members to share their ideas and concerns freely.

In today’s fast-paced world, it’s easy to become detached and focused solely on results. However, true success comes from recognizing the human element in every interaction. By valuing relationships and fostering a supportive environment, leaders can inspire their teams to perform at their best.

Moving Forward as a Leader

As I reflect on Obama’s message, I am reminded that my role as a leader is not merely to direct but to serve. I strive to cultivate an environment where listening and empathy are at the forefront of my leadership approach. By engaging with my team, understanding their needs, and valuing their input, I can create a culture of collaboration and innovation.

To all aspiring leaders, I encourage you to embrace the principles of listening and empathy. Remember that the best leaders are not those who command authority but those who inspire and empower others. As we move forward in our leadership journeys, let us commit to being good leaders, not rulers. Let us listen, understand, and work together towards a brighter future.

The Importance of a Daily Routine for a Hotel General Manager

The Importance of a Daily Routine for a Hotel General Manager

By Bodh Raj Lamsal

19 May 2015

In the fast-paced world of hospitality, the role of a Hotel General Manager is both demanding and rewarding. As the captain of the ship, a GM is responsible for steering the entire operation toward success while ensuring guest satisfaction and team morale remain high. To achieve this, establishing a well-structured daily routine is crucial. A solid routine not only enhances productivity but also fosters a balanced lifestyle that can lead to personal and professional growth.

Why a Daily Routine Matters

A daily routine provides a framework for managing time effectively, prioritizing tasks, and ensuring that every day is maximized to its fullest potential. For a General Manager, having a set schedule can help maintain focus amid the myriad of responsibilities, from overseeing operations to connecting with staff and guests. It allows for proactive problem-solving and strategic planning, ultimately leading to a more efficient and harmonious workplace.

Moreover, a consistent routine promotes self-discipline, which is essential in the hospitality industry. It encourages accountability and helps GMs stay on track with their goals, ensuring they are not merely reacting to challenges but actively working towards their vision for the hotel.

The Earthquake and the Mirror of Our Own Creation

The Earthquake and the Mirror of Our Own Creation

By Bodh Raj Lamsal

15th May 2015

I was just scrolling through Facebook and online news this morning, and all I could see were the same haunting headlines: Earthquake… earthquake… death… death… injured… injured… So many lives shattered, homes destroyed, families torn apart. Our digital walls have become murals of devastation.

The phone rings constantly, messages from loved ones checking in, concerned, scared. This is the reality of living in a world where natural disasters like earthquakes strike without warning. But as I reflect on the destruction, I can’t help but wonder: Is it truly a natural disaster, or did we contribute to this devastation?

Nature's Fury, Our Responsibility

This disaster, like so many others, seems beyond our control. Earthquakes are forces of nature, unpredictable and unstoppable. But there’s another layer here—a deeper cause that lies within us, within our actions. Who made this disaster? Perhaps we did, indirectly. We built weak homes, disregarded safety guidelines, and in the name of progress, we slashed our forests, tampered with our environment, and disrupted the balance of nature.

For decades, we have expanded recklessly, building structures not suited to withstand the forces of nature. We’ve cut down trees, reduced forests to barren lands, and polluted our rivers—all in the name of development. Today, as we face yet another earthquake, we are trapped in a disaster of our own making.

The Time to Reflect: Who Are We?

Why has this happened? It’s a question we often ask in the face of tragedy. We call ourselves human beings, but are we truly? Have we lived in harmony with nature? Or have we become mere agents of destruction, disconnected from the very environment that sustains us?

For decades, we dug our own ponds—short-sighted actions that now engulf us. We built grand seven-story bungalows without proper planning, ignoring the wisdom of building on solid foundations. And now, the time has come for us to stand in front of the mirror and ask, What do we see? Are we truly human, or have we lost our way?

A human being—a true human—is someone with integrity, compassion, and responsibility. But we have strayed far from this ideal. The destruction around us is not just a result of natural disasters, but a reflection of our collective negligence and greed. We must confront this reality and ask ourselves: Are we ready to become better?

Rebuilding, Not Just Structures—But Ourselves

As I sit here, reflecting on this tragedy, a profound shift is taking place within me. I have realized that it is time to focus on the small things, to start from within, and rebuild not just our homes, but our humanity. To be human means to be truthful, honest, and dedicated to a greater good.

We must start by following the rules and regulations that govern a healthy, balanced life. Whether it’s adhering to proper building guidelines, preserving our environment, or simply being kind and helpful to one another, every small action counts. This is how we prevent future disasters and heal from the ones we face today.

Inspiration and Guidance

As I sit here with Robin Sharma’s Megaliving in my hand and the sacred verses of the Srimad Bhagavad Gita playing in the background, I feel a renewed sense of purpose. These teachings remind me that living a meaningful life begins with small, mindful actions. We must strive for self-control, integrity, and service to others. Only then can we claim to be true human beings—sachha manav.

I have decided to start from the basics: follow the guidelines, respect nature, help others, and work hard with dedication and honesty. I know this won’t be easy. Change never is. But it’s time for us all to choose the harder path—the path of truth and responsibility. Only then can we rebuild a better future for ourselves and for generations to come.

A New Beginning

Today, I begin this journey toward becoming a sachha manav, a true human. It’s not about grand gestures or lofty goals, but about making small, consistent changes every day. It’s about reflecting on our actions, understanding the impact they have on the world, and making a conscious choice to live in harmony with nature and each other.

As we rebuild from the rubble of this earthquake, let us also rebuild our spirits. Let us choose the hard tasks—honesty, self-control, and compassion—and work together to create a world where disasters do not devastate us but make us stronger, wiser, and more connected to the truth of our humanity.

The day has begun. Let’s take the first step.

Nature's Test and Our Resilience

Nature's Test and Our Resilience

By Bodh Raj Lamsal
13th May 2015

The earth has shaken, and our hearts are heavy. On 25th April 2015 (Bikram Sambat 2072 Baishakh 12), a powerful earthquake measuring 7.8 on the Richter scale struck Nepal, leaving an indelible scar on our nation. Over 8,000 people lost their lives, and many more were injured. Our historical monuments, like the iconic Dharahara Tower, fell to the ground, and countless homes were reduced to rubble. The devastation was widespread, and the grief immeasurable.

As Nepal tried to come to terms with this tragedy, another earthquake hit us just yesterday, 12th May 2015 (Bikram Sambat 2072 Baishakh 29), with a magnitude of 7.7. The tremors once again sent shockwaves through the country, both literally and emotionally. More lives were lost, more buildings were destroyed, and the fear that had just begun to subside came rushing back with a vengeance.

Nature's Test

These earthquakes have tested us in ways we could never have imagined. They remind us of nature’s unpredictable power and our own vulnerability. We like to believe we are in control of our lives, but events like these force us to confront a truth: nature, in all its grandeur and fury, holds the ultimate power.

Yet, while nature tests us, it also reveals the resilience within us. Amid the chaos, we find the strength to stand together, to care for one another, and to rebuild.

Personal Pain, Collective Grief

For me, the past few weeks have been an emotional rollercoaster. I had left my family in Nepal just a few days before the first earthquake. Being far from them during such a terrifying time has been one of the hardest experiences of my life. Each aftershock, each piece of news, filled me with anxiety about the safety of my loved ones. My parents and family, who are in Gaindakot, thankfully remained safe, despite enduring multiple shocks. But the uncertainty, the helplessness, and the distance have been overwhelming.

And yet, I am among the fortunate ones. Many families have lost loved ones, homes, and their sense of security. The road to recovery will be long and difficult, not just for those who lost material possessions, but for those whose hearts have been shattered by loss.

Rebuilding with Purpose

As we move forward, the question arises: what can we do in the face of such overwhelming destruction? It is easy to feel powerless in the face of nature’s fury, but this is the time to act with purpose. The earthquakes may not be in our control, but how we rebuild and prepare for the future is.

This is an opportunity to rethink how we build our homes, our cities, and our nation. It is a chance to ensure that our structures are stronger, that our communities are better prepared, and that our efforts are more sustainable. This is not just about physical reconstruction but also about emotional and spiritual healing. We must support one another in this time of grief, ensuring that no one feels alone in their pain.

A Time for Reflection

These earthquakes also compel us to reflect on our relationship with nature. As humans, we have often taken nature for granted, cutting down forests, polluting rivers, and building without care for the environment. The consequences of our actions are evident. It’s time we face the reality that we are part of the natural world, and we must live in harmony with it, respecting its power and its gifts.

This tragedy, as painful as it is, offers a moment to pause and reassess our priorities. We must not only rebuild our homes but also rebuild our relationship with the earth. We need to make conscious choices in how we interact with our environment so that future generations do not suffer the same fate.

Moving Forward with Hope

In the midst of all this destruction, there is still hope. Hope in the strength of the Nepali people. Hope in our ability to rise from the rubble and rebuild stronger than before. Hope in the countless acts of kindness and solidarity that have emerged in this time of crisis.

The road ahead will be long, but we will walk it together. As we remember those we have lost, let us also remember the lessons these earthquakes have taught us: about the fragility of life, the importance of community, and the need to live in harmony with the world around us.

We may be tested, but we will not be broken. Together, we will rebuild. Together, we will rise.

A Day of Reflection and Growth

A Day of Reflection and Growth

By Bodh Raj Lamsal
2nd February 2015

Today, 14th February 2015, I woke up with a sense of purpose. It’s my birthday, and as always, birthdays tend to spark reflection. It’s not just another day—it’s a day to take stock of where I am and what I have achieved, and most importantly, how I can grow further.

The Morning

I started my day a bit later than usual, at 8 AM, followed by breakfast at 9 AM in the restaurant. By 9:30 AM, I began my daily rounds of the property with our Regional General Manager, Shri Anil Singh. Walking through the premises, interacting with the staff, and inspecting the property—this has always been my way to stay connected with both the team and the business itself.

The Celebration

The highlight of the morning, without a doubt, was a surprise birthday celebration organized by Mr. Anil Singh and the team at 11 AM. It was unexpected but deeply appreciated. It reminded me of the importance of maintaining strong personal connections with those we work with. These moments build trust, loyalty, and motivation among the team.

Afternoon Meetings and Visits

At 12:30 PM, I visited the residence of the Tourism Minister, Mr. Dinesh Dhane, for a brief meeting. It was productive and gave me insight into the broader scope of tourism in Tehri.

At 1:30 PM, I joined Mr. Singh for a visit to the magnificent Tehri Dam, a symbol of progress and the potential of our region. This visit brought me back to the idea of sustainable growth and how we, in the hospitality industry, can align ourselves with the region’s development while preserving its natural beauty.

Reflecting on Leadership

By 3:30 PM, I was back at the office, catching up on emails and clearing up pending tasks. However, something from earlier in the day lingered in my mind—an interaction with Mr. Abhishek Gosai, our Commis I chef. He was threatening to resign, frustrated and adamant about leaving his position. It would’ve been easy to dismiss his threat as an empty gesture, but this was a leadership moment.

Abhishek’s situation served as a critical lesson: never be overconfident, either in yourself or in your team’s stability. He realized by the end of the day that his threat to resign was hasty and perhaps more driven by emotions than reason. He came back to me, admitting he didn’t have another job lined up and would hand in his resignation only once he found one. This incident reinforced the importance of maintaining calm and composure in leadership, encouraging open communication, and, most of all, practicing patience.

The Lesson of the Day

This leads me to the day’s greatest takeaway: overconfidence can be your downfall. It applies to both me and my team. It’s easy to let emotions drive our decisions in moments of frustration, but as leaders, we must stay grounded and think long-term. Abhishek’s situation made me realize how easily people can make rash decisions in the heat of the moment. It’s a reminder that we, too, must constantly check our confidence and ensure it doesn’t tip into arrogance.

Creativity and Motivation

Birthdays are a time for reflection and rejuvenation, and today was no different. One thing that stood out was the importance of creativity. Motivating staff and fostering creativity has always been key in my leadership style. Today’s celebration and interactions with the team filled me with new energy, reminding me how essential it is to inspire those around me. I need to lead not just with instructions but with vision, passion, and motivation. These are the qualities that elevate leadership from good to great.

Tomorrow’s Plan

Looking ahead, tomorrow will be focused on strategic planning and self-improvement. I have a few key tasks lined up:

Developing a Sales Strategy for the Year – This is essential to ensure we stay ahead in a competitive market.
Continuing to Read "Mega Living" – Personal development is just as important as business growth. I’ve learned a lot from Robin Sharma’s book and will continue to implement these lessons in my life.
Submitting Reports to the Sales Team – Consistent communication and reporting are vital for ensuring smooth operations and making data-driven decisions.

Conclusion: A Day of Learning

Today has been a reminder that leadership is not about control or authority. It’s about listening, learning, and continuously striving to be better. I began the day reflecting on my past year, but I end it focusing on the future—on the steps I’ll take to become a better leader and a better human being.

Though my birthday has been a special day, the lessons from today will continue to shape my journey in the days and years ahead. Leadership, creativity, humility, and self-awareness will be my guiding principles.

The Birth of Sewa Manav: A Vision to Serve Humanity

By Bodh Raj Lamsal
12th July 2014

There are moments in life when everything suddenly aligns, and a deep sense of purpose clicks within you. Today is one such day for me. As I sit here reflecting on my life, my journey, and my aspirations, I am overcome with a powerful realization—I want to serve people.

This thought struck me as if the universe was speaking directly to my heart. In a world often consumed by self-interest, I felt an urgent need to create something that would stand for the values of compassion, empathy, and service to others. This is how the idea of Sewa Manav was born.

Why Sewa Manav?

The name "Sewa Manav" encapsulates everything this organization will stand for. Sewa, meaning service, and Manav, meaning human—together, they represent the core mission of this endeavor: to serve humanity, selflessly and with purpose. The motto is simple yet profound: To bring a smile to as many faces as possible.

It is often said that true happiness lies not in what we receive, but in what we give. This is what I believe too. In helping others, in extending a hand to those in need, we unlock a deeper sense of fulfillment and joy, not just for ourselves but for the entire community. And it is this spirit of shared compassion that I want to nurture through Sewa Manav.

The Vision Behind Sewa Manav

Sewa Manav will be more than just an organization—it will be a movement. A movement dedicated to uplifting people, empowering communities, and spreading kindness. We will focus on bringing positive change to those who need it most, from providing support during times of crisis to helping underprivileged individuals gain access to opportunities that can transform their lives.

Our mission is clear: help others help themselves. This organization will act as a bridge between those who want to give and those who are in need, ensuring that we all come together to support each other in times of hardship. Whether it’s through education, healthcare, or simply being there for someone during their darkest hour, Sewa Manav will strive to make a meaningful impact.

Together, We Can Make a Difference

No organization can thrive in isolation, and that is why Sewa Manav will be built on the foundation of community. I am calling upon everyone who shares the same desire to serve to join this mission. Together, we can create a wave of positive change that touches the lives of countless individuals.

I believe that small actions lead to big outcomes. Whether it's helping an elderly person with their daily tasks, offering emotional support to someone in distress, or providing resources to children in need—every act of kindness counts. We cannot solve all the world’s problems overnight, but we can take small, meaningful steps toward building a better future for all.

The Road Ahead

I am fully aware that starting this organization will come with its challenges, but I am equally confident that with the right team and the right intentions, we can overcome them. This is not just about me—it’s about all of us. Sewa Manav will stand as a testament to what we can achieve when we come together for a common cause.

This is my pledge: to dedicate myself to serving others through Sewa Manav, to strive to bring smiles to those who need them the most, and to build a community of like-minded individuals who believe in the power of kindness. Let us be together to help each other.

As I embark on this journey, I invite you all to join me in this mission of love, compassion, and selfless service. Together, we will create a ripple of change that will resonate far and wide. The time to serve is now.

आमा तिम्रो भक्ती

लेखक: बोधराज लाम्साल
लेखन मिति: ५ जुन २०१४

कविता
आफ्नो भोकमा नछट्पटाइ, मेरो भोकमा छटपटाए को मैले देखेको छु
आफ्नो पिडामा हाँसी हाँसी, मेरो पिडामा तिमी रोएको डायरी लेखेको छु
मिठो चोखो मलाई दिई, पटुका बाँधेरै बित्यौ कयौं रात
आधी रातमा ते ते लाउँदा, चस्स दुख्थ्यो ठेला परेको हात

मेला पात गई तिमी, सधैं मलाई सेवा गरेकै हो
मलाई सुख दिनै भनी, तिमी शहर सरेकै हो
आफ्नो छाक कटाएर, मेरो पेट भर्ने गर्थ्यौ
नाकको फुली बेचेर नि, पढ्नै पर्छ बाबु भन्थ्यौ

पचास कट्यो होला आमा, आज छैन शक्ति
जे गरे नि कमै हुन्छ, आमा तिम्रो भक्ती
आमा तिम्रो भक्ती आमा तिम्रो भक्ती

कविताको व्याख्या
"आमा तिम्रो भक्ती" कवि बोधराज लाम्सालले २०१४ मा लेखेको कविताले आमाको निःस्वार्थ माया र त्यागको गहिरो भावना प्रकट गरेको छ। यो कविता बोधराज लाम्सालका आमा सीता देवी लाम्साललाई समर्पित गरिएको छ। कवितामा कविले आफ्नी आमाले जीवनभर आफूलाई दिएको माया, त्याग, र सेवा स्मरण गर्दै भावुक स्वरमा आफ्ना आमाप्रति कृतज्ञता व्यक्त गरेका छन्। यो सन्देश साँचो जीवन कथामा आधारित छ, जहाँ बोधराज लाम्साल र उनकी आमाको सम्बन्धको गहिराई र संघर्षलाई कवितामा प्रतिबिम्बित गरिएको छ।

कविताका प्रारम्भिक हरफहरूले आमाले आफूलाई भोकै राखेर छोराको भोक मेटाउन गरेको प्रयासलाई उजागर गर्छन्। आमाको पीडालाई हाँसी हाँसी सहने क्षमता र छोराको दुःखमा आँसु झार्ने संवेदनशीलता कविताको भावनात्मक शक्ति बनेको छ। कविले यहाँ ५० वर्षको कुरा आमाका उमेरको रूपमा उल्लेख गरेका छन्, र आज पनि आफूले आमाप्रति कृतज्ञता व्यक्त गर्नको लागि जे गरे पनि अपूरो नै हुने महसुस गरेका छन्।

आमाले कति रात काम गरेर बिताए र छोरालाई मिठो चोखो खाना खुवाइन् भन्ने कुरा कवितामा मार्मिक रूपमा व्यक्त गरिएको छ। आमाले आफ्नो छाक काटेर छोराको पेट भर्ने सन्दर्भ, र आफ्ना गहना बेचेर छोराको शिक्षा सुनिश्चित गर्ने कुरा पनि यस कविताको एक महत्वपूर्ण अंश हो।

कविताको अन्त्यतिर, कविले आफ्नो आमाको समर्पण, त्याग, र बलिदानलाई सम्झिँदै भन्छन् कि आफूले जे गरे पनि आमाले गरेको भक्तीको सन्तोषजनक प्रतिफल दिन नसक्ने कुरा स्वीकार्छन्। यो कविता बोधराज लाम्साल र उनकी आमा सीता देवी लाम्सालको साँचो सम्बन्धलाई उजागर गर्ने उत्कृष्ट उदाहरण हो।
