Walking around the city on a mid summer day

Walking around the city on a mid summer day
With intent on the heart just too personal to say
Waiting games everywhere for sparks to abray
'Where am I, Where are they' heeds in this impermanent stay.

A ring of smoke through a glass tries to make its way
The glass shatters and so the smoke makes its journey to the ray
An old witch watches all this; she merely wants to play
Oh! that walk around the city on a mid summer day.

Sitting on her broom, she flies up towards her prey
With devious smile she asks the smoke: Where you headed, hey?
I will take you faster wherever it is for I know a shorter way
Just hop into my broom , you won't even have to pay.

The ring of smoke, wise as it was, just ignored the affray
Flew it quietly towards its end, just moved along alday
The Restless witch in frustration, all her secrets did relay
Can't stand loneliness, she said, let me go with you, instead i'll give you a pay.

Off they went, on her broom, close towards that ray
Can't handle it, just not ready yet, I'll come some other day
said the witch with tears in her eyes as she turned to go her way
You've used me well, all well for you, i wish and honestly pray.

So walking around the city on a mid summer day
Never know what you might be, its all a goddamn play
Waiting games somewhere, who told them to obey?
Wrong questions if you ask, you are bound to go astray!

A social analysis.

Kathmandu:
You know how things they are!
The glass with which the middle aged women see the world
Is the same glass with which the men look around this all
The men are yet to fall!

Kathmandu:
You know how things they are!
and the younger men(boys) don't even crave for sex with all their heart!
They don't even know anyone bizzare...

Kathmandu:
You know how things they are!
and now the men with guitar around their shoulder
have put themselves under the same category the mighty ass falls under!
The men are yet to fall
and learn from that all...

Kathmandu:
The women at least seem to have catched up with the global call
While men are yet to learn from their fall
(damn! The men are yet to even fall).

Kathmandu:
You know how things to be they are!
no Devkota will be born again
no birds are to find their human friend; a shame!
The clouds will roll, rain rare as a good damn peer
The floods will flow, boat blunt as a thin man's blow.
Mirror oh mirror on the eyes
When will you shatter? You've grown oversize.

but is it necessary for a fish to know why he is a fish?

And now there's money in his pocket
So confidence in his walks and talks.
Yet he still does not have any idea whatsoever:
Why all this takes place at the first place!

Difficulty lies in sundries.

Living a life is not at all difficult.
Living a desires fulfilled or unfulfilled life
Or a desires eradicated life is!

Yes we can!

So when they tell you:
You can do it!
its difficult to admit,
but they're correct:
We all can do it!
See
we all are like those copper wires;
every single copper wire can do it (electricity conduction).
We are the same,
every single one of us can do it
Whatever be our definitions of it!
We are made to do it,
Rather It itself was made with us under consideration
and we will, no matter how hard we try:
never be able to will to do that 'it',
which is beyond our limitations.
It's only weakness that makes us believe elsewise
Enamel does that to copper too!
Weakness for us is unnatural or forced.
We just need to burn off our enamels...
and then,
Yes we will do it
for it pertains on the nature of us to do it.

Tale of some man.

And slowly but surely
as the days go by...
A man gets used to a lot of things:
Rejections and deceptions and anxieties from women
Heartaches from his failures
The wanna be and so-called musicians, celebrities!
The all important diplomatic bastards
The posers, the pretentious'
The dogs wails' and all so many things...
He gets tired of trying,
and every burden
every feeling he has ever had to bear!
He gets used to adversity
not before calling it worse than death itself
and so...
He gets used to death itself.
Yes he gets used to death too,
and then...
he gets tired of life
and everything it possibly contains!
nothing matters to him anymore:
Absolutely Nothing!
He then merely passes his time,
looks around and tries to understand
Yet he understands nothing!
and then he gets used to not understanding too...
And then he understands.

Specific Works

The big cats and
thunders,
roar!
Poets a poem compose...

Two cigarettes better than a friend

Twenty rupees in my pocket:
that's all!
Two full cigarettes if kept unbroken
A friend waiting outside
A smoker too...
Meet him and share
Or smoke alone with contemplative stare
I chose to not meet him!

जंगलमा फोटोग्राफर

शहरका नाटक कति खिच्नु भनेर फोटोग्राफर श्रीराम आफ्नो क्यामरा बोकेर जंगलतर्फ हिँडेको छ

श्रीरामः
हिँड्दैछु आज यो जंगलको बाटो
कोही छैन केवल म र देशको माटो
रुख छन् हरिया, छैनन् कतै चरा
एक्लो छु म त म र मेरो क्यामरा

श्रीराम सबैतिर हेर्छ,  केही फोटोहरु लिन्छ।

श्रीरामः
फोटो खिच्न लायक यहाँ केही छैन
लाईक बीना मनले पाउँदैन चैन
बाघ न भालु केही रै'न्छ यहाँ
सुन्दरता खोज्न दैव, अब जाउँ कहाँ!

निकै बेर वरपर डुलिसकेपछि थकित भएको श्रीराम एउटा रुखको मुनी बस्छ। आँखा चिम्म मात्र के गरेको हुन्छ, उसले जंगल भित्र कतै आवाज सुन्छ 

श्रीरामः
के हो यो कहाँबाट यो के आवाज आयो
के फेसबुकमा राख्न अब फोटो पाईयो
मान्छेको जस्तो, तर छैन स्पष्ट
के यसले सुल्झाउला त मेरो यो कष्ट!

श्रीराम जुरुक्क उठी, आवाजको पछाडी दौडिन्छ। एउटा ठाउँमा उसले दुईटा कुकुर देख्छ। एउटाले घाँटीमा बेल्ट बाँधेको छ

बेल्ट बानेको कुकुरः
के यार तँ यस्तो दुःख मा बाँचिरा'
यस्तो बोधो ठाउँको कष्ट सहिरा'
हिँड दाजु-भाई सँगै बसौँला
गाऔँला-हासौँला मिठो-मिठो खाऔँला

बेल्ट नबानेको कुकुरः
जान्न तँ सँग यहीँ नै म ठिक छु
गु चाट्नु भन्दा त भोको नै मर्छु

श्रीराम छक्क पर्छ 

श्रीरामः
के अचम्म को कुरा यो देखियो
कुकुर चलाउँदै छन् मनुष्य झैँ जिब्रो
फोटो खिच्न सके लाखौँमा खेलिन्थ्यो
पत्र-पत्रिकामा मेरै नाम छापिन्थ्यो
बोल्ने कुकुर पत्ता लगाउने विद्वान
भनी कहिलिन्थ्यो देश विदेशमा नाम
तर कसरी पो खिच्ने यिनको तस्विर
देखे सिद्दाउलान् मलाई नै नहुँ ऐले नै वीर

बेल्ट बानेको कुकुरः
के भो' त यार अलि-अलि चाटेर
के-के पाइन्छ तब तैँ हेर आएर
जाडो-गर्मी-पानी सबैबाट बचिन्छ
जे-जे भन्यो तै-तै मजाले खाइन्छ

बेल्ट नबानेको कुकुरः
हैन म जंगली यहि मेरो घर
म जाँदिन बुझ यो गर्न छाड् कर
बाबा-अंकल जाँदा त म यहिँ अँडे
गु चाट्नु भन्दा त भोक नै सहेँ

बेल्ट बानेको कुकुरः
आमाले सम्झिन्छिन् कति धेरै तँलाई
छोरो ल्याईदे भनी पठा'कि हुन् मलाई
बाँच्नको लागि जे पनि गर्नु पर्छ
नत्र यसरी नै दुब्लाई मर्ने डर छ

बेल्ट नबानेको कुकुरः
मलाई त्यस्तो केही रहर नै छैन
खरायो मुसाले नै पाउँछु म चैन

बेल्ट बानेको कुकुरः
तेरो कुरा पनि कति अचम्मको
तेहिँ पुग्न सब्ले गर्छन् जमर्को
तँ भने चैँ मौका मिल्दा नि आउँदैनस्
यस्तो ताल ले सुख कहिले पाउँदैनस्

बेल्ट नबानेको कुकुरः
यहाँ राजा जस्तो बस्न छाडेर
को जान्छ त्यहाँ स्वाभिमान तोडेर
खुला भई घुम्न मै मलाई सोख छ
यो सानो जंगलमै मेरो सबथोक छ

बेल्ट नबानेको कुकुरले आँखा चिम्म गरेर लामो सास लिन्छ

बेल्ट नबानेको कुकुरः
के भा'को तिमरु यस्तो जीवन छाडी
किन जान्छौ तयहाँ हिँड्न पेटी बानी
नाच-गान कुदाई सबै गर्न पाइन्छ
मान्छेलाई अत्याउँदा मजा आइहाल्छ
यस्तो छाडी गयौ शहरमा बाँच्न
मान्छेकै चाकडी गरी उसको इसारामा हाँस्न
मान्छेको आफ्नो फाइदाको निम्ती
दौडाउँछन् ए हामीलाई फर्कि गर्छु विन्ती

बेल्ट बानेको कुकुर केही बेर टोलाउँछ

बेल्ट बानेको कुकुरः
यस्तो लाई तँ रमाईलो भन्दैछस्!
हाहा! यो हेर्न तयार भै'बस्

बेल्ट बानेको कुकुरले आफ्नो बेल्टबाट आई-फोन निकाल्छ 

बेल्ट बानेको कुकुरः
त्यहाँ यस्तो विधी चलाउन पाइन्छ
जस बाटै सारा संसार देखिन्छ
देखाउँछु एउटा कुरा हेर्न तयार हो
त्यसपछि के गर्छस् तेरै मर्जी भै'भो

बेल्ट बानेको कुकुरले एउटा अश्लील भिडियो देखाउँछ। बेल्ट नबानेको कुकुर ट्वाल्ल परेर भिडियो हेर्छ

बेल्ट नबानेको कुकुरः
के हुन्छ र यस्तो कुरा लाई हेरेर
अरुको संभोग प्रकृयामा आँखा गाडेर!


बेल्ट बानेको कुकुरः
के हुँदैन भन् न यहि सबथोक
यस्तो हेर्न-गर्न थाले'सि बिर्सिइन्छ भोक

बेल्ट नबानेको कुकुरः
यस्तो हेरेर नि' केहि हुन्छ र कहीँ!
छाउरा चाइया' छैन, ठिक छु म एक्लै

बेल्ट बानेको कुकुरः
धत् लाटा छाउराको लागि हैन यो
यो त उताको मोजमस्तीको लागि पो
मान्छे कुकुर सबै यसैको लागि बाँच्छन्
यो भनेपछि एक-अर्काको ज्यान नै लिन्छन्
याद गर र त्यो कुरा तँ आफैँले गरिरा'
यस्तै कुरामा तँ उता रमाइरा'

बेल्ट नबानेको कुकुरले  धेरै बेर सम्म भिडियो हेर्दै कलपना गर्छ।  निकै बेर पछि बेल्ट बानेको कुकुरले भिडियो बन्द गरेर फोनलाई बेल्टमा फिर्ता हाल्छ

बेल्ट नबानेको कुकुरः
किन हटाइस् तँ त्यो मजा आइरा'थ्यो
बल्ल त जीउ सिरिंग गर्न थाल्या थ्यो
कत्रो हो त्यो चीज विचित्र
लौ कष्ट पर्यो मलाई आफ्नो भित्र

बेल्ट बानेको कुकुरः
देखिस् तँलाई मजा त आयो नि'
यस्तो हेरिन्छ गरिन्छ कति आफू गए सि'
यहाँको कुरालाई रमाइलो ठान्थिस्
थाहा पाइस् होला अब के गर्या थिस् मिस 
सजिलै खान पाइन्छ, अझै के-के गरिन्छ
यहाँको जीवनको मुर्ख्याँई बुझिन्छ

बेल्ट नबानेको कुकुरः
ओहो यसको लागि के गरौँ त मैले?
कसरी तयार हौँ त्यहाँ पुग्न ऐलेई?

बेल्ट बानेको कुकुरः
केही नगर मुख बन्द राख
अनि मनुष्य दानको सुवास चाख

श्रीरामः
गयो ब्वाँसो लौ, कुकुर झैँ शहरमा
के अर्थ रहन्छ र खिचे अब तस्विरमा
के यस्तै लोभले पालतु हुन्छन् सबै
के पालतु भइसकेको छु म आफैँ
के थियो यो सपना याँ देखे मैले सत्य
कस्तो जंगल हो यो निस्की हालौँ ऐले!

                                                        समाप्त।।




 
 

For them, By them

Ear clouded by advertisement,
melodies that pierce to provoke
every note drawing closer...
closer to their whistle evermore!


Eyes addicted to digital gleam,
colours to keep at bay
every image sucking underneath...
into a hole to climb up nevermore!


Mind desperate for engagement,
stories to marvelously absorb
well planned to excite-frustrate-absorb!
every single thing well planned
well planned for uniformity forevermore!
