पैसा र सुख

'Who said money can't buy happiness?' निकुन्ज दिदिले भन्नु भयो 'आज मैले दुइवटा सल पाँए र म एकदम खुशी छु।दुई वटा नचलाइएक सलहरुलाई फेरी रङ र बुट्टा भरेर पुरनो सलहरुलाई नयाँ बनाएपछी उहाँले त्यस्तो भन्नु भएको थियो।


यसोदा दिदीले 'Sometimes money buy happiness' भन्न नपाउँदै गितिका दिदिले 'Money can buy happiness almost every time' भनिहाल्नु भयो।

पैसाले कहिले सुख दिन्छ त कहिले काही दु:ख। साँच्चै यो पैसा भन्ने कुरा, हुँदा पनि नहुने नहुँदा पनि नहुने चिज रहेछ।

बाघ र बुवा

यो घटना हामीलाई बुवाले एकदम हाँसो उठ्दो पाराले घरमा सुनाउनु हुन्छ। म त यती हास्छु कि मेरो जहिले पनि यो घटना सुन्दा पेट दुख्छ।


एक पल्ट हाम्रो बुवा गाउँ ( संखुवासभा)बाट काठमाण्डौ आ उँदा तुम्लिङ्टार एअरपोर्टमा मान्छेहरुले बाघको बच्चा समातेका रहेछन् । अनी उनिहरुले त्यो बाघ लाई के गर्ने भनेपछी काठमाण्डौ पुगाउने भनेर एक जनाको जिम्मा लगाएर पठाउने निर्णय गरी बुवा सँग पठाउने भएछन् । उनिहरुले एअरपोर्टमा हाम्रो मान्छे आँ उछ भनेको हुनाले बुवाले पनि ल म पुर्याइदिन्छु भन्नु भएछ।


काठमाडौं एअरपोर्टमा ओर्लिदा त कोही पनि आएनछ। त्यो शनिबार को दिन् रहेछ। बुवाले अब के गर्ने भनेर त्यो बाघ को बच्चालाई डेरामा ल्याउनु भएछ।त्यो पनि ट्याक्सीमा। बुवाले त्यो बाघलाई भोक लाग्यो भनेर बिस्कुट र दुध खान दिनु भएछ। आईतवार पनि छुट्टी भएकोले त्यो दिन पनि दुध र बिस्कुट खुवाउँदै पाल्नु भएछ।


सोमबारको दिन बिहानै ट्याक्सीमा फेरी बन बिभागमा पुर्याउन लग्नु भएछ। तर बन बिभागको मान्छेहरुले एता लानु उता लानु भनेर हैरान बनाएछ। बुवा त बाघलाई बोक्दा बोक्दा दिक्क लगेर बाघ लाई त्यही छोडेर हिंड्नु भएछ। बुवा हिढ्दा हिड्दै भन्दै थियो रे" ए ए कस्तो मान्छे रहेछ। पर्खिनुस् त" केही नसुनी उहाँ फर्किनु भएछ।

'I found a note book'

I got chance to learn many things in documentation centre beside my work. Books became my teachers and a window to peep the world.

I visited Singapore, Canada,remote parts of the village through those books in Documentaion Centre.

One day, as usual days I was organising the books, I found a note book. I became curious towards this document because it was hand written.Otherwise all the books are printed.

The other factor that attracted me to look this particular note book was the beautiful handwriting of the writer and the language.

When,I scrolled down my eyes to this note book I found its language very interesting.The language is very direct. We can feel Nepali sound while reading it.The grammars are not correct( Although I am weak in English I could feel it).

Later I came to know the name of writer. Her name is Archana Thapa. She was a married women which I came to know after reading her notes. Where is she? What is she doing? I don't know anything about her.

But the message of the notes are very important to us as they reflect our real society.

A part of her notes goes like this:

Nov 20th Thursday
Female,18 Yrs, Kumal, Barah Gaon

[she is daughter of Dhan Bahadur Kumal]

She is studying in class 8.Before she got typhyoid thats why she was delayed in her study. In her class there are 79 students. Out of them 12 are Kumal. Her sister is studying in class 7 and in her class there are 35 Kumal. When I asked her about reason of decresing number of Kumal Students in higher class. She told one of the main reason is due to early marriage. Boys and girls at 7/8 class get marriage ownself(elope)then leave school. She said such kind of social disconstruction was in practice in her society since long ago.She told but her parents don't want to marry her soon. They always encourage her to study & they had told her they would expense in her study even by selling land,She told although her mother is illiterate if they didn't study she scold them.

on my question about behavior of teacher with Kumal Students, she told their teacher never encourage them.Bahun Chhetri students are good in studies than Kumal because they don't have to do household work like them.Also they take extra tution,coaching.But Kumal can not afford extra money on tution, coaching. Bahun Chhetri students understand lesson easily but kumal students are dull $ can't understand their lesson.But they don't tell their teacher about this due to fear and shame because otherwise teacher scold them . Their teacher usually scolded them saying"when can we improve by teaching rotten like you".and also says"what will you do by study,you can't do anything". She said .so she doesn't like them she said.

One time her Bahun chhetri friends told why they kumal comes school.They don't study. They (kumal) come only to disturb them.Then she discussed with her kumal friends and they together quarreled with them saying why they (Bahun,Chhetri)come in Kumal area, go in their own area. After this they hesitate to speak ill of Kumals.

She said nowadays Kumal are improving in education.4 Kumal are studying certificate level outside from Naukilo.

My Orchids

I got a new orchid plant, in my list of orchid collection this month. I must thank to Am dai who brought me orchid although it is hybrid, from Illam, a place famous for orchids.


Now I have seven different kinds of orchid in my home.

The first orchid is from the Dakshin Kali which I bought it in Rs 30. It grows in a pot. When it bloomed for the first time, I didn't like it becoz of very small size. Its size was similar to paddy's flower.But it bloomed very nice this year. The flower's were so attractive ,white flowers.


Second one is from a temple near home. It was an one year ago when I visited that temple, a huge tree was lying in the way to the temple. and it was covered with orchid plants. I took it out from there and brought a lot at home. It hasn't bloomed yet but I have seen its flowers. It's colour is dark purple.




Third and Fourth, It was also brought by a friend of mine from Sankhuwasava last year. I like to thank him as well. One one of the orchid bloomed in the same year. It's colour is light purple and it is growing tender leaves these days.Other plant is in the stage of 50 -50. I don't know wheather it survives or not.




Fifth and Sixth, I bought it from new road. The plants were so shiny when I bought it but it is also in the stage of 50- 50.




Seventh is from Am dai. I don't know about its flower.There are four buds in it. I think It blooms next week.




My Dream about Orchid




  • To collect as many orchid as possible and make orchid farm especially of non hybrid orchids.


I wish I had a digital camera with high power of Zoom lens so that I could capture all the flowers and show all of u.

बुद्धको किरण

आज बिहानै बुद्ध पार्क् मा घामको किरण बुद्धको पछाडि परेको हुनाले बुद्ध ले प्रकाश छर्नु भएको जस्तो देखिन्थ्यो।

कति आनन्दायि थियो त्यो क्षण, साक्षात् बुद्धले सान्ति छर्नु भएको जस्तै।

त्यति बेला मेरो मनमा एउटै कुरा आयो'यदि म सँग क्यामेरा भएको भए'
