चोट पर्दा आँखा हैन, मन् नि रुन्छ बुझ्यौ होला-गजल (Gajhal)

चोट पर्दा आँखा हैन, मन् नि रुन्छ बुझ्यौ होला मनमा कुरा गुम्साइ बस्नु, कस्तो हुन्छ बुझ्यौ होला सम्झना र यथार्थका, साथी दुबै एक नहुँदा आँशुले नै मनका सारा, याद धुन्छ बुझ्यौ होला भित्र पिरिम भएपनि, मुखमा ल्याउन सँधै गाह्रो अभिमानले कसो गरी, माया थुन्छ बुझ्यौ होला पीर व्यथा आफ्ना सबै, सुनिदिने कोइ न हुँदा बचन भन्दा मौनताले, चस्चस् छुन्छ बुझ्यौ होला सारा संसार निदरीले स्वप्न लोकमा हराउँदा आँखा मिच्दै तिम्रा कुरा, कस्ले सुन्छ ? बुझ्यौ होला मन चोर्ने निद्रा हर्ने, बाँच्ने एउटा आधार थप्ने रगतको भन्दा गाढा, नाता कुन् छ ? बुझ्यौ होला (Essence of the poem) To keep things in heart and not being able to speak out hurts as hell. Then, not just the eye but the hearts too cry When the person that visits your dreams   and the one you wake up with are not the same: the fate is to blame; and tears wash away the pain every day you gain It's hard to speak up   what's in your heart; ego comes in a way and takes the fear a...

Reading 'I am Malala'

'I am Malala' was a nice read. I liked the part of the book where I got to learn a lot about history of Pakistan and Swat region to be specific. The history of Islamization of Swat was a bit painful for me. "FIRST THE TALIBAN took our music, then our Buddhas, then our history." It seemed like Taliban (meaning religious students!) did same in Swat what ISIS did or are doing in Syria. The only difference is that what happened in Swat is buried under the history and acts of ISIS are known to all. Actually this destruction started long ago in Mecca where statues of more than 350 gods were destroyed to establish one religion and the idea of one god. Many Indians blamed that Pak government is behind Taliban and this time it came from a Pakistani. Money that came to Pakistan in the name of 'War against terrorism' cost Pakistanis a lot. Only some high class official became rich and the rest had to take drone attack and every bad thing they could imagin...

Growing up in a Suburb (Story)

"All Dads suck" They both shouted in unison. And we all chuckled for a while. I prepared a stick - a cigarette stuffed with mixture of tobacco and hashish. We called it stick. Finding hashish was not that difficult. You just need to know where. The shopkeeper won't give you if he/she doesn't know you. You have to be accompanied by the one who has been there before. Once he/she knows you, it won't be a problem ever. Sometimes you can also make on your own using hands. The bushes are everywhere. You should just make sure that the cops don't see you while you are busy rubbing your hands. It was long since we three met in one place. Sulav and Sam (actually Shyam) have been my friends before we knew what friendship actually is. For us friendship was to fight whenever we met on some pointless stuff. Sometime we used to make pact with two of us and bug the third one. Mostly me and Sulav would gang up together and bug Sam. Me and Sulav shared more stuffs t...
