That Day

 That day

I put on a red lipstick cause you asked me to
only for you to wipe it off in a hurry.
I took a hundred amazing pictures of you
only for you to take one blur shot of me.
I spent the morning getting ready for you
only to hear how I need to learn to be pretty
I took the sweetest selfies with you
only to forever hide it in my gallery.
That day
I surprised you with a pair of sunglasses
only for you to be mad about how I didn't get a box for it.
I paid for our lunch
only for you to never ask what I wanted to eat.
I got on a crowded bus with you
only for you to jump into the only empty seat.
I took three buses to get to you
only for you to run saying there were friends you had to meet.

That day
I came to you straight from a week long trip
Only for you to say I smelled like shit.
I waited all day to get a reply from you
only for you to yell for God knows what I did.
I made you a video montage on your birthday
only for you to say you'll be busy and wish me in advance on mine before a week
I wanted to hold your hand the last time before I left for another land again
Only for you to leave me alone on the street.
That day
I had to prove to you my loyalty
only for you to post on being single and free
I kept loving you for being you
only for you to make me apologize for being me.
That day
I should have known better
Because all of those sentences began with "I" and not we.

भुगोलले नछुट्टाएका मन!

आज उही बिदाको दिन जसको पर्खाइमा हप्ताका बाँकी दिन कटाउँछु म । पढाइ र प्रोजेक्टको पन्जाबाट मुक्त भएर  दिनभर यसैगरी यो शहरलाइ झ्यालछेउ उभिएर नियालिरहने दिन । अग्लाअग्ला भवनका बिचमा हुरिसङ कुस्ती खेलिरहेका नरिवलका पात हार्दै, ठक्कर खाँदै मेरो झ्यालका सिसामा ठोक्किन पुग्छन्, अनि म सुनिरहन्छु तिनमा कुनै मिठो धुन भेटे झैं । टाढा टाढासम्म नरिवलका रुख, केही पर नेटवर्कका अग्ला टावर अनि पार्श्वमा धमीला निला पहाड। मान्छेको होहल्ला भन्दा काग कराएको प्रष्ट सुनिने, ओहो! विकसित भएर पनि कति शान्त छ सलेम शहर! आफ्नो देशभन्दा धेरै टाढा, दक्षिण भारतको यो शहरमा जिवनको बाटो खोज्दैछु म। इन्जिनियरिङले सास फेर्न दिएको समयमा सम्झने गर्छु घर-परिवार र देश, आखिर एकदिन डिग्रीसहित फर्कनु जो छ। तर देश यति व्यस्त छ कि अरु कैयौँ  युवालाइ झैँ बिर्सिएकै होला मलाइ पनि। भुकम्प, नाकाबन्दी, राजनीती, युद्ध , केही न केहिले सताइरहने मेरो देशलाइ फुर्सद होस् पनि कसरी! अहिले पनि देश र मधेसको विवाद चल्दैछ रे! जब यो शहरलाइ हेर्छु, हिन्दी बोलेको नरुचाउने, हिन्दी चलचित्र नचल्ने, आफैँमा रमाइरहेको यो दक्षिण भारतलाइ हेर्छु, ड...

A cheesy poem

  You say you can't write poems about love About happiness, devoid of hurt but is it really that you cannot or that they never hit you hard enough. You've never written about starry skies but so many with watery eyes Always with a pen in the lows and never once so in the highs. It was never something you could not feel but writing it down would make it real. Maybe that would shield you for good But the end always hit as hard as it should. So you never wrote about your smiles In your theatre of memories, those blissful aisles but everytime you bled and shed you scribbled and went on for miles and miles. And though it begins so cliche with all these rhymes And will only get cheesier with the following lines I hope we're both patient with this one because today I wish to write about good times. Today all I did was exist and yet he looked at me like I won a nobel prize Today all I did was something dumb and yet he talked to me like I was the smartest pers...

Minimising the Fear of Oblivion

There was a time when I had these huge dreams. I wanted to accomplish everything at an young age, I was scared if my dreams would die like that of my parents. I would even think of never getting married because the way I saw, it trapped you. I would write songs and think of having them recorded and even plan a whole music video, imagine it playing on the radios. However I didn't have that kind of money. I wrote novels and imagined getting them published and sold, getting prizes for those. I laugh when I remember I actually even met a lot of publishers by searching the addresses and going there alone, when I was just 18 or less. The thing was, I was so stupidly determined I would do something big, become someone famous at an early age. We've all read biographies where people started at an young age, nobody believed them and they ended up big right? I was determined, that it was my fate to become a famous person like that. But more than that, I was scared, what if I die without ...
