नयाँ आशा, नयाँ नेपाल

अहिलेको नेपालको शेकाकुल अवस्थामा म भलाकुसारी गर्न चाहन्न, क्रपया मलाई माफ गरिदिनुहोस्। नेपालमा भुकम्प गयो तर सायद सारा नेपालीले महसुस गरे, विदेशमा रहेकालेपनि। राम्ररी सुत्न सकेका छैनन् ति देशप्रेमीहरु। िवदेश बस्नु एउटा मजबुरी हो वा आफ्नै मनखुशी जवाफ दिन गाह्रो तर जाहाँ बसेपनि नेपालीलाई आफ्नै देश प्यारो। म बेलायतलाई ह्रदयबाट धन्यवाद दिन्छु किनकी बिगत १३ सालदेखि मलाई गाँय-बास र कपाएस दिएको छ; तर म जहाँ जन्मेकोछु त्यो म भुल्न सक्दिन। तिमी दुबै देशको सम्मानलाई आँच आएको म देख्न सक्दिन। अहिले नेपाल आमा मुश्किल र कठिनामा छिन्, मेलैकेहि गर्नसके मन हलुका हुन्छ। सकेसन्म गर्दैपनि छौं। सबै नेपालीहरुको साथ देखेर मन भावविभोर भई खुशिको आँसु बहे झैं लागिरहेकोछ ।

मेरो हार्दिक समबेदना छ ति सारा अमर आत्माहरूलाई जसले आफ्ना ज्यान गुमाउनु पर्यो, ति परिवारहरुमा मेरो आत्माबाट सान्तवना छ। मन रोई रहेछ। भन्छन्- आयो-टप्प टिप्यो-लग्यो-मिती पुग्यो-टारेर टरेदैन त्यो। जहाँपनि छन् सबै मिलेर उनिहरूको आत्मालाई चिर शान्तिको कामना गरौं । स्रष्टिको नियमालाई कसैलेपनि नकार्न सकिन्न।

हामी यसरी नै आपसी मेलमिलापमा बस्यौं भने हामी कसैले नजर उठाएर हेर्ने आँटपनि गर्दैनन्। एक सुन्दर नेपालको आशा, निर्माण र सफल्ता चांडै देख्न पाऊँ। ति दिवगंत आत्माहरूपनि नयाँ नेपाल देखेर हर्षमा बसुन् ।

.....................
नेपाल आमाको रोदन र क्रन्दन कसैले सुन्न सकेका थिएनौ,
कतै ति पौराणिक मठ मन्दिर र धरहरामा अल्झेर बसेका थिए कि थाहै पाएनौ,

उनका छातिले कति भार थाम्नु, हातहरुले कतिलाई सम्हाल्नु,
देशलाई खोक्रो बनाउनेहरू कतिलाई आश्रय दिएर राख्नु,

सर्वस्य छोडेर ८० बर्षपछि जुरमुराईन् उनि, भक्कानो छोडेर रोईन्,
हामीलाई बल्ल चेतना भयो, यति सारो उनिले सहेकि रहेछिन्,

नेपाल आमा तिमी दु:खी नहोऊ, आफ्नो आँसु पुछेर घाम झैं हाँसिदेऊ,
आउँछ नयाँ नेपालमा उज्वल ज्योतिको जनभावना, त्यसैले तिमी खुसी भईदेऊ,

अब तिम्रा सन्तानहरू एक भएकाछन्, आपसमा मिलेर एकअर्कालाई साथदिईरहेकाछन्,
जातभात, ढुलोसानो, तेरोमेरो, हिमालीतराई केहि नभनि हातमाहात मिलाएर काम गरिरहेकाछन्,

आमा तिमीले सिकाएको ज्ञान पायौं हामीले,
अबदेखि तिमीलाई माया गर्छौं र ख्याल राख्छौं सबैले,

आखिरमा तिमी रहे हामी रहन्छौं र हाम्रो अस्तित्व र पहिचान,
सदा जगेर्ना गर्नेछौं तिम्रो आस्था, अटल राख्छौं तिम्रो स्वाभिमान ।।
जय नेपाल।

Review of Opening Ceremony London2012

Hello all,

I've been lazy to blog recently. On Friday 27th July 2012 I watched Opening Ceremony of London 2012 Olympics, the most awaited event. Slumdog Millionaire director Danny Boyle presented the Opening Ceremony of £27 million. I gathered up with friends and close people to watch the programme. Here is what I thought of the ceremony, lets just call it solely 'My Review'.

The first thing I liked was 'The Countdown' of 1 minutes which covered many things already. 10 Downing Street, No.9 bus which runs in Central London and many more. The start of the River Thames for me was awesome.

The 'Isles of Wonder', showed by Danny was so nice. I actually liked the theme of the ceremony. I think he tried to show typical English countryside. I was wondering about so many things and why it was there. I wondered where are the athletes of all over the world going to stand cause there was grass all over there. Why there is a little uphill there. and more questions followed later on. Even living 10 years in Britain I was still confused. Then slowly I got the hang of it. I somehow related to the things that Danny might want to show.

The view of countryside, people farming, playing, singing happily was spectacular. Then followed the invasion of industrial revolution and the big chimneys and dark era. The class difference, the Suffragettes, the greenlands disappearing, labourers, world war, women working in the world war in different fields when all men went to war front, the people migrating from the Caribbean, Uganda and other countries, foundation of NHS (National Health Service) and Great Ormond Street Hospital. More followed as British singing legends and their songs, Film industry and current James Bond and ofcourse the Queen. I very much liked David Beckham's part. He looked cool. Harry Potter theme was shown. Everything that Britain is proud of was demonstrated in a very superb way. I loved luminous lights (Blue is my favourite colour), the effects and danced sequence.

I waited whole night just to see Nepalese participants and them calling out my country's name. Thank god atleast someone was there to represent my country. I was wondering when each country appeared and walked the march past. The volunteers were carrying something in their hand. Later on I realise the flag was suppose to go on the little hill there, the thing those volunteers were carrying was actually the head of the Olympics torch which they lighten in the end. It was like a flower and it all came together to form a flames of all participating countries. The Olympic flame was lighten by young generation. Closing up with Paul McCartney was epic act. Though his voice wasn't that great seeing him was enough for me.

The most of all. I loved the Fireworks in the end. It was marvellous.

Everything was very good. But I must say there few things that people criticised and yes I am also doing it. I am not saying bad things just some points which I felt like expressing here.

Trying show every special thing that Britain has and is proud of in such a good way was impressive but a lot of people around the world might have very few knowledge of what was going on. I read 'Life in UK' book few months ago so I was able to understand what was going on though I think I might have miss out on something as well. Not a lot of people knows what is NHS. People compared this opening ceremony with Beijing Olympics and said it was less interesting, but I do not agree with that fully. All those great music is not recognisable by everyone. For me being a Nepalese and if I was in Nepal, I wouldn't have known many things. Danny Boyle did try to make it interesting for all age group. He included children, youngsters, middle aged and all people. The whole point of this post is that I loved what he did and how he managed such a big event so beautifully but I guess most of the people around the world might have understand only half of what was going on.

I loved being here in the City hosting London 2012 Olympics. I never thought in my childhood that I will end up here in future. I was lucky enough to get tickets to Badminton and I thoroughly enjoyed watching World Champions of Badminton. I even went to see Olympic village but didn't had ticket to get in.

I look forward to see how the Closing Ceremony will be. Although I didn't get chance to volunteer I just hope they do well. Wishing them luck.

That secret place

Everybody has secrets. I have secrets too. Secret is not secret if it's been revealed. If people never had secrets then this world would have been like an open book, not too interesting I guess. I am kind of person who likes surprises (good ones ) and surprise is not possible without secret. Anyways here is a little article about secrets. :)

I HAVE :

.......that secret area of the park that I want to walk with you.

.......that secret phrase of my favourite book which I want to read to you.

.......that secret receipe of food which I want to feed you.

.......that secret destination of Nepal where I want to take you.

.......that secret childhood photo of mine which I want to show you.

.......that secret mistake of past which I want to confess to you.

.......that secret biggest achievement of life that I want to tell you.

.......that secret special member of family whom I want you to meet.

.......that secret corner in my heart where I want to keep you.
.......that secret space in my mind where I want to fill you.
.......that secret place in my soul where I want to decorate you.
.......that secret title in my life which I want to present you.


This secret thing keeps on going. To be honest I do not like too many secrets, and the fact is I can't keep too many secrets myself. I just feel like I'm suffocated by too many secrets. Life to to enjoy and live with much freedom and no deep dark secrets. Free your mind. Love life and enjoy your spiritual freedom. 


Live life to you fullest.

नेपाली राष्ट्रिय गीत (Nepali National Anthem)

 नेपाली राष्ट्रिय गीत (Nepali National Anthem)

''सयौं थुँगा फूलका '' - 2007 AD
लेखक : प्रदीप कुमार राई (ब्याकुल माईला )
संगीत : अम्बर गुरुङ


(All pictures in the video is my own painting. Hope you like it.)


म जुन राष्ट्रिय गीत गएर हुर्किएँ त्यो अहिलेको राष्ट्रिय गीतभन्दा  धेरै फरक छ / नेपालमा  पहिले राजतन्त्र थियो र राजको शासन चल्थ्यो तर अहिले प्रजातन्त्र छ / मलाई नयाँ नेपालको बारेमा धेरै कुराहरु थाहा छैन तर सकेसम्म बुझ्न कोशिशचाहिँ गर्छु /

सर्बप्रथम मैले सुरु गरें राष्ट्रिय गीतबाट / पछिल्लो केहि महिना देखि एक-एक शब्दहरू याद गर्दै गाउँछु , मलाई  त्यस्तो नागरिक हुनु छैन जसलाई आफ्नो देशको राष्ट्रिय गीतपनि गाउनु आउंदैन  / यहाँ एउटा video पेश गर्दैछु जसमा देश भक्तिले भरिपूर्ण भएर  मैले आफ्नै स्वोरमा गाउँदैछु / कृपया धैर्यसंग हेरिदिनुस है / :)


म JustTalkative  लाई धन्यबाद दिन चाहन्छु जसले यो youtube को धून मलाई सापटी दिएर मलाई मेरो इच्छा पुरा गर्न सहयोग गर्नुभो / म कुनै गायिका होइन, न त मा चर्चित महिला नै हो तर सानो कोशिश गर्दै छु मन खोलेर आफ्नो देश नेपालको राष्ट्रिय गीत गाउन /

जय नेपाल !

''100s of flowers of garland '' - 2007 Ad
Lyrics : Pradeep Kumar Rai (Byakul Maila)
Music : Amber Gurung

I grew up singing national anthem which is completely different to what we have now. Nepal was previously a Kingdom now it is a Republic. I know very little about new Nepal but I'm trying to learn more about it.

First of all I start with our National Anthem. For the past few months I have been memorising National anthem word by word so that I won't be tagged along with those who can't sing their own country's national anthem. I present this video where I have put my patriotic heart to sing along in my own voice. Please watch it with patience.

I would like to thank JustTalkative for lending me the youtube music which helped me fulfill my mission. I'm neither a singer nor famous person but still trying my luck to sing my national anthem with open heart.

Long live Nepal !

Thank you.

"यै ॔ नेपालमा"

मेरो पहीलो देशप्रेमी नेपाली कवीता । मैले यो कवीता पूरा जोशमा कवीतावाचन प्रितयोिगतामा भनेको िथएँ। आशा छ तपाईहरूलाई पनी मनपर्छ होला ।

महलहरू भग्नावशेष हुन्छन यै ॔ नेपालमा
रीितरीवाज बदिलदैछन् यै ॔ नेपालमा ।

जन्मे गौतम बुद्ध यै ॔ नेपालमा

"उखान तुक्का र ितमी"

ितमीले आ गर्दा बुझ्थें मैले अलङ्कार
तर िनस्कीयौ ितमी कुलङ्गार ।

ितमीलाई सोच्थें ंमैले श्र्ीखण्ड
तर िनस्कीयौ ितमी खूर्पाको िबंड ।

ितम्र्ो माया लाग्थ्यो हुनो िवरूवाको िचल्लो पात
तर िनस्कीयौ ितमी त फुस्र्ो पात

ितमीले नजाने ठाउँको बाटो नसोध्नु भन्थ्यौ
तर िनस्कीयौ ितमी खोजी नयाँ बाटो अर्कै ।

ितम्रो िसङ् नभएपिन ितखे भन्नु मन पर्थ्यो
तर िनस्कीयौ ितमी साँडे गोरू बेकारको ।

ितमी त आयुको छोरा झैं ंिनडर लाग्थ्यो
तर िनस्कयौ वायुको कमारा िरस उड्थ्यो ।

ितमीलाई पाउँदा भदौमा आँखा फुटेको भैंसी झैं देख्थे सबै हरियो झार
तर िनस्कीयौ आिखर िशशीर यामको जाडोलो खाएको किस्ङ्गआर ॥

"ितम्रो"

"ितम्रो"
ितम्रो त्यो हेराइलो उब्जाउँथ्यो मनमा पागलपन
ितम्रो त्यो बोलाइले फक्राउँथ्यो आत्मामा लजालुपन

ितम्रो चोखो प्रेमको आशामा िथए हरपल
ितम्रो िनर्मल भावनाको सपना देख्थे पलपल

ितम्रो िपरतीमा सबै गर्न चाहन्थे अर्पन
ितम्रो ममताको सधैं गर्न चाहन्थे सम्बर्दन

ितम्रो भूललाई माफ िदन्थे हरदम
ितम्रो िपडालाई चाहन्थे गर्न उन्मूलन 
 
ितम्रो झुटमा िकन गर्नु मैले समर्थन
ितम्रो नक्कली मायामा िकन गरूं म आफूलाई समर्पन

ितम्रो धोकाले िदयो मेरो ह्रदयलाई समवेदना
ितम्रो बेईमानीले राख्यो मेरो आत्म िवस्वालाई ज्वालामूखीमा

ितम्रो नयाँ िजवनलाई छ मेरो छड्के नमस्कार
ितम्रो नौ लो यात्रालाई छ मेरो कड्के बहीस्कार॥

यी दुई शव्द भन्दै आजकोलािग िबदा माग्न चाहन्छु/

मुटु कड्क्याे

Hey dear readers, I know I'm suppose to write the remaining part of my last post but lets take a quick break and read this poem I wrote back in Nepal (a decade ago). Recently I discovered Apps to write in Nepalese font and I'm absolutely loving it. Thanks to my twitter friends who helped me find it. 
 It's all in Nepali so if you want its translation just let me know and I'll do it for you. ThankXx a lot. :)

मेरो पहीलो प्रयास, कवीता पुरानो नै हो तर देखाउँदैछु अहीले। :)
मुटु कड्क्याे

छलछल छ त्यो खोला
कलकल छ त्यो पानी
मलमल छ यो मन
सलसल छ यो भावना

िसरीिररी बतास चल्यो
ितरीिररी मुरली बज्यो
िकरीिररी जून्िकरी करायो
िफरीिररी मेरो मन उ्ड्यो

गर्ल्या्मगुर्लु्म घर भत्िकयो
खन्द्र् याङ् खुन््दु्ङ भाँडा लड्यो
छर्ल्य।मछर्लुम  िससा फु्टयो
ठङ्गर्य।ङ्गठुङ्गुर्ङग मेरो आशाहरु ठोक्कियो।

चमचम तारा चम्िकयो
टनटन घन्टी बज्यो
सनसन हावा चल्यो
झनझन मन कड्क्यो॥

Love you all.
