“पश्चिम अनि म”

‘कर्णाली ब्लुज’ बाट प्रेरित भएर सुरेश प्राञ्जलीको ‘तुइन’ पढ्न सुरु गरें│ सुरुवातमै रुवायो बाइ ! पश्चिमी नेपालको कथा सुन्न पढ्न एकदम रुची राख्छु म│ शायद अहिलेसम्म पश्चिम नेपाल देख्न नपाएको कारणले पनि हो की जस्तो लाग्छ│ ‘कर्णाली ब्लुज’ जति दुई पटकसम्म भ्याको थिएँ│ हुन त ममीको लागि किनिदिएको किताब हो, सुरुमा खोल हेर्दा के नै राम्रो होला र जस्तो लागेको थियो│ घरमा ल्याको तीन दिनसम्म त हेर्दा पनि हेरिन│ तर आज बिहान के झोक चल्यो कुन्नि, चिया पिउँदा पिउंदै ‘तुइन’ पल्टाएँ│ कथाको पहिलो भाग सक्दा सक्दै मेरो मन किताबमा बस्यो│ अफिस निस्कनुअघि भाग ३ सम्म सकेर मात्र निस्किएं│ भोलि शनिबार दिनभरी बसेर ‘तुइन’ सक्ने धोको छ│:D

"Surprises"

Image
You find your lost love, or so you think, after years. You hear that your childhood best friend, with whom you lost contacts for ages, married recently. The person you have known to be benign for so long turns out to be just the opposite. You do not win the heart of this one person you tried to, all those time. You thought you were better, but apparently you were just as ordinary as so many people around you. Well, life brings us many surprises; some good, some not so good. And there are some which belong to neither. Nevertheless, surprises excite us, hue our everyday. We are thrilled with every little surprise that comes our way as they make us ponder upon our own flaws and fortitude. Surprises delight us. Surprises leave us with a crippling affliction. Surprises tend to influence us, our way of life, in one way or the other. ;)

Not Only Women's Business

Image
Females have the ability to bear children, and so it may seem only logical to relate fertility and ‘anything’ associated with it as ‘women’s business’. The family planning arena, in particular, has been hugely feminised. From assuming the physical responsibility of using contraception to facing its emotional and mental consequences, the role falls almost exclusively on women. But should pregnancy prevention really just be women’s business? What consequences does the feminisation of contraception have? A wide range of modern contraceptive options are available for women in Nepal. They range from short-acting reversible contraceptives (female condoms, pills and injectables) and long-acting reversible contraceptives (implants and intra-uterine devices or IUDs) to permanent methods (sterilisation). In contrast, condoms and sterilisation (vasectomy) are the only male contraceptives available in the market. Misconceptions that male sterilisation leads to reduced physical strength and...

"My Darling Sister"

September 9, 2014 2:30 AM As I hurried back to the ward with a packet of Glucose, I was surprised to see bhauju being hastened into the other room. I fretted at the dire state she was in. I tried to call one of the nurses who were holding her, to ask of the situation, but they quickly entered the room, leaving me unhinged. I headed back to the room where she was kept earlier. Some of the women inside gave me hints on why and where my bhauju was taken. I sighed. She was about to deliver! I leaped towards the delivery room and paused at its door. I peeped into it and saw what looked like a corridor. There were rooms on either sides of it. I walked past the first room on my left, and before I could take another step, I heard someone coming towards me. I swiftly returned back to the door, closed it after me and stood at the side. A nurse came out; and walked past me without saying anything. I kept waiting outside. My restlessness grew with every minute that went by. I marched f...
