The lift

-
21st July, 2017

9:50 in the morning, and the scorching sun in the sky. Two sisters were on their way to school. I was walking after them. And there came this man in his cycle. I couldn’t figure if they knew each other. But the man offered them a lift. They were two, and hence hesitated cause they thought one still would have to walk. One on the back and the other in the front, the man assured them two seats. They were happy to get help and the man was happy to offer. I stopped for a while to look at three of them fitting in the bicycle and to smile, that’s how I almost forgot to take their picture.

 “People seem to shrink their heart with the increase in the possessions they earn.” This statement happens to be proved true at many cases. Many people in their air conditioned car don’t even bother to bat an eye on people around. While on the contrary, we can also find people as such who wish to offer help to others with anything small or anything little they have.

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?

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
