Colder the Winter, Warmer My Self


If winters are not cold, then what is?
Maybe you.
You used to be as cold as the winter.

Last year, the winter was cold,
as always.
But, you were colder than that.

The year before that, winter was same
but the chilliness was less.
So were you.

This year, winter is same again
but the chilliness is damn high.
And I don’t even know about you.

I, now,
do not expect some other person
to make my winter warm.
I love the winter the way it is.
Because it is real, it is true.
There is beauty in nude reality,
which is prettier than the masked truth.

 

I know you
even though I don’t actually know you.
I don’t know you
even though I actually know you.
This is funny shit.
No worries though.
Because I have got some other things
to worry about.
Like I don’t even want to go to bathroom
in winters.
I shall file a complaint to it
on the behalf of my skin.
Whatever.

Truth is that
I have grown up with the seasons
that come and go every year.
That I try to keep my soul warm
regardless of the freezing coldness out there.
Every year.
And I’ll continue to grow.
Colder the winter, warmer will be my self.

7 things you might face if you are a Nepali born in Kartik

Image
If you are a Nepali born in the month of Kartik (October 18 - November 16), then you might have probably come across these things. 1.        Which month are you born? “Which month are you born?” -           Kartik “Eh! Kattike po?” Digest the sarcasm. Ha-ha! 2.        Your birthday might fall on the day of Kukur Tihar! No. 1 was the general kind-of-funny gesture from the people. More kind-of-funnier is when you have your birthday on Kukur Tihar and you get wishes with a little bit of extra funny words added on facebook wall. I personally feel that all those who are born in Kartik get their birthday on this very Kukur Tihar at least once in a life. I love dogs, I don’t feel bad. J Moreover, I have already witnessed that ‘day’ four years back. Best thing about that was I had quite a memorable birthday that year, thanks to my friends who surprised me on a midnight ...

Rasuwa Reminders: The Shades of Nature

Image
Two years ago, while I was working in a remote village Mailung of Rasuwa district, I had hardly thought that those Rasuwa days would stay fresh in the reminiscences for many years to come. Honestly, the photos that I had captured are the main reason behind this. Whenever I look at those in my gadgets, all the things related to it start to float in the mind. No, I don't get into nostalgia, but it is more like the feeling of something good, something that I have experienced and am happy for.  There were more bitter feelings then but when I think of it today, it was actually good for I got to learn many things, experience many things - mainly: adjustment and tolerance capacity. Well, of different pieces of stuff to remember, I mostly recall its natural beauty.  It is not that drop-dead gorgeous place, neither it has abundance of breath-taking scenery. It is but just a small village, quite a remote area even though not very far from the capital city. When I first arrived...

Rasuwa Reminders: The Works

Image
It was my first professional job, a fresh graduate, and to be honest, I was not that good at my work. The sad truth is that the education we get here doesn't make us fully prepared in the practical field when the college is over. The certificate helps, so does the theoretical knowledge; but the most essential of all is the adequate practical knowledge that is always lacking in our educational system. On the other hand, this also depends on the students themselves. This is whole another topic to talk about. Not today. I did many mistakes. I got scolded by the seniors. I learned. There were fellow colleagues and few seniors those were helpful. I had quite an experience. Less sweet and more sour. I don't know if it adds to my nature or counts as my weakness on the work front or something else, I was always more interested in the stuff like nature, people, their stories, etc than the usual job-stuffs. If only that could actually pay me.... Ha-ha.. No worries, though. Thank g...
