Expensive Hesitation

I was standing outside the door and about to knock when I heard my mother crying inside. I knocked twice wishing everything would be fine inside.

Dada came to the door. I did not have the courage to go into the living room, so I went to my room. But Mamu and Baba were there and Dada joined them. I saw my cigarettes in front of them.

Baba asked angrily, "What is this?"

I was speechless. Mamu started crying. Baba asked again,"What is this, son?" I remained silent.

Then Dada kicked me and shouted,"Answer the question, idiot."

I had no answer. Baba asked again. I decided to beg for forgiveness but Dada started beating me. I kicked him too.

In no time we were fighting. Baba tried to stop us but we didn't. Then i saw Baba lying on the floor. He had suffered a heart attack.

At the hospital the doctor came and asked, "Are you his children? Have you done Bratamandha?"

It was then I questioned myself why i had hesitated to say 'no' when my friends asked me to smoke.

(This is only a FICTION. And is not a real story)

COVID 19 is not a storm, it is merely a calm before the storm.

As the human immune system fight pathogens and attempts to save us from bacteria and diseases, nature fights anyone who tries to harm and destroy her. For millions of years, we have been toxic parasite in the body of mother earth. And for the past couple of centuries, she has merely been a ‘free resources’ or a ‘dumping ground’ for all the waste that we’ve created. But, development and growth cannot be in the destruction of nature. And if we still do not realize it, we are gonna vanish like many other creatures who once used to be the most powerful animals on this planet. Realize, Learn and Grow, Sustainable behavior!

मानब जातिको एकालाप !

हे प्रकृती, म मान्छे हु, मान्छे ! मलाई तर्साउने तिम्रो औकत नै के छ र ? तिम्रो आफ्ठ्यारा स्वोरुपलाई सुन्दर बनएको म, तिमीसँग किन डरउने ? तिमीले त हजारबार धम्कयौ मलाई, तर्सायौ; अब तिम्रो आर्को नाटकले बिचल्ली हुन्छु जस्तो कसरी लाग्यो तिमीलाई ? मेरो त बच्नुको केवल एक आधारछ, त्यस्लाई पनि तहसनहस बनायौ तिमीले | तिम्रो षड्यन्त्रको मुल्य तिमीले नै तिर्नुपर्ने छ | केही दिन पछी म फेरी उठ्नेछु, मेरो जिव्नुको आधर 'पैसा' लाई फेरी पनि बिउझाउने छु, बल्झाउने छु | अनि हेर्दै जाउ, यो संसार तिम्रो हिसाब्ले होईन, मेरो हिसाबले चल्नेछ | मेरा नबिन सिर्जनले तिम्रो एकाधिकारलाई तोड्ने छ, म जित्ने छु अनि प्रकृती तिमी हार्नेछौ | #COVID19
