Farewell



How do you count down

The days left for your departure

How do you prepare for a new beginning

Leaving Everything you love and cherish behind

How do you stop that ache in your heart ?

How do you stop that tear from rolling down ?

And How do you really do it all ?


You are accustomed to the smell in the air

The sights that you behold daily

Your are familiar with the people

And their comforting company 

And yet, Such is life

Not a pond that you can keep swimming on 

But a river that flows onward and onwards 

Where you'd have to go with the flow

till you drain into your sea


I hope I am not forgotten

By these streets that I walked everyday 

These roofs that sheltered me every night 

These walls that's seen me cry and laugh

These corridors that have seen my joy amd sorrow 

And these people

Whom I keep fondly in my heart

And I hope someday in my future 

Our path will crosss again

And we share one last drink

Sitting side by side, besides a warming fire

For old times sake

Delirium

                                                            Delirium Would you like to know? What does it feel like? When you are a prisoner of your mind? And subject to its confabulated pranks To wander aimlessly in your memory land In an eternal state of existential crisis Stuck in the twilight zone Between consciousness and unconsciousness Questioning each moment Wait, is it really mine? How do I know that? What is real, what is not? Do you know what it’s like to wonder? Minute after minute, hour after hour Are the voices you hear really being spoken? And the touch you feel? Is it really there? Is the ocean just a reflection of the sky? With the endless azure blue? Are those Angels I see? With the brilliant white and the golden halo? Questions, Questions, Questions ...

The Ekkos Clan and my First Author Encounter

Back in 2014, I was very much into Dan Brown- reading all his books in a spree. As everyone who has read The Da Vinci Code can attest to, once you've finished the book, there's only one thing to do, google books similar to it. And I was browsing through the suggestions google threw at me, one name caught my eye. The Ekkos clan , written by an IIT graduate, was featured in many lists. It's not every day you get to see such names, listed alongside Dan brown . And I got intrigued and started searching for the book details. I found the premise very interesting, a thriller set in Indian Subcontinent that combined ancient history, linguistic palaeontology, mathematics, music and a mystery story. And I set out to search for the book in the bookshops of Kathmandu. Sadly, I couldn't find any that had the book available. And since Indian online portal Flipkart didn't deliver to Kathmandu, I had given up my hope. But showing a daring only 19 years have I emailed the author dir...

Demons in the Bottle

 I wrote this poem to depict the harrowing truth about domestic abuse and violence happening in many families. And for the fear of society, the stories get stifled. Here's hoping may all the victims find the strength to overcome the demons in their life This Poem was  selected for the Recitation round  in  Kavya-Krama 2020  organized by P arikrama Students' Family , BPKIHS, Dharan. A recitation of the poem can be viewed  here .                          Demons in the Bottle Sometime into the night, amidst the darkness An ominous thud punctuates the silence And we wait with bated breath     As the door gives in, and a figure enters  With faltering steps and a waddling gait Me and my mother, we find each other’s hand Look into each other’s eyes, full of fear Knowing that a whimper or a sob would trigger The avalanche of a...
