Nabina and Nadina

18th March, 2017

"Nabina and Nadina", she quickly replied when I asked her name. These are two sisters who stay in the street of Banasthali with their mom who is a vendor. Because no one really bothers to even look at them, they were overjoyed when I approached them. And on asking for a picture, the happiness was reflected in their eyes. I showed them the picture and they wanted their mom, dad, grand parents, sister, all to be in the picture. Nabina expressed how much she loves all of them. Then, she asked if I have my granny or not, I made my granny's image in my mind and said to myself that she's still with me, and then nodded a yes to Nabina. She was so happy to see how I cared to listen her and she began expressing many small details about what she loves. And at the end, she asked why I was there, I replied that I was there waiting to meet my aunt and then she frowned,"Hadn't you come to meet me?" Well, that was touchy so I made her believe that I'll again come to meet her next time and brought back her smile.

तिमी गएको निकै वर्ष भयो, आउँछु भनेर नआएको पनि निकै वर्ष भयो, एकअर्कालाई नदेखेको निकै वर्ष भयो, चित्रमा त चिन्छौँ हामी, यत्तिका वर्षपछि भेट्यौँ भने, आमनेसामने भयौँ भने, मलाई तिमी, तिमी जस्तो अनि तिमीलाई म, म जस्तो लाग्छ कि लाग्दैन होला?

It's Not Just A Call

-
I merely use my phone to actually make calls. Or rather, I used to but not any more. I make an appointment for myself. Schedule the call I'm supposed to make. A few days or at least hours beforehand. Yet that doesn't seem enough. I take time, a lot. I postpone a few times. Prove that I'm a helluv a procrastinator. Finally, I start thinking. And then overthink, of course. I make the call in my mind. Make those awkward convos and silences. And end up messing it up. It makes it harder to actually dial. If in case I succeed in dialing, I also end up succeeding in messing it up. I know It's me who've been pushing people away. And this is exactly how I do it. I don't really get calls. And the ones I merely get are all missed. I just stare at them. I take time. And one full ring never seems enough. The ringtone makes me more nervous. I just slide it to silence. And now, the mere calls don't ring the second time. ...

टाढै बस मन

ज्यान सिरिङ्ग हुन्छ, भित्री मुटुमै छुन्छ  तिम्रा शब्दको बहावसँगै बहकिन्छु म अनायास रोकिन्छु, अनि रोकिदिन्छु मन यसलाई त ढुङ्गा बन्नु छ  अहँ हुन्न, ढुङ्गालाई ममताले कहाँँ छुन्छ मायामै सबै समस्याको हल हुन्छ  रे झुट हो सब, धेरै समस्या त माया भित्रै हुन्छ टाढै बस मन, तिमलाई त ढुङ्गा बन्नु छ मैले देख्या छु, मायामा मन छिया छिया हुन्छ
