Saphal Diaries

´´Even if I am not an ideal father, I did as much as I can before as well, Chhori. When she heard this sentence from me, her eyes became wet with full of tears.  She hugged me and started to weep gently. She is not the girl who cries in front of anyone. When she was small, she used to sob inside the bathroom if she hurt deeply. On that day, I couldn´t control myself seeing her tears. Just completed reading Khushi written by Bijay Kumar. The above mentioned paragraph is taken from his book which he has written on the topic of Santan explaining his children Sara and Saramsa. As we all know, we have different ways to live our life which means everyone has different unique story in his life. In the race of living lives, someone gets success whereas someone doesn´t. But life always goes on. Being successful is not everything if he is not happy but if a person lives a simple life but he is happy with that which is the meaningful life. By reading his book, we can learn lots ...

I have come to Nepal after the time interval of 4 years from Europe which means I have traveled many different countries of Europe. But I don´t mean to say I hate my country. What I can say is that Kathmandu has become more vulnerable than it used to be. I feel like staying in Kathmandu is to shorten my life expectancy. On the other hand, the prices of everything are almost unaffordable. The taxi driver took Rs. 500 from Chandol to the airport. While I was approaching the TIA from Turkish airlines, I saw the range of Himalayas which I feel like grinning at me for the welcome. I was dying to see these since I went to Europe. Normally, we don´t see the mountains in Europe. When I got off from the airport, everything looked familiar which I felt like I came to the heaven from the hell. But I became emotional every day. I stayed in Kathmandu on my arrival day. Another day, I had to come to my home town Dharan. Another day morning of my arrival, I had to hand over some p...

At this Dipawali, I wish all the sisters would wish their brothers to be like world´s best leader Xi Jinping and world´s best football player Leonel Messi. Xi Jinping is the president of the people ´s republic of China who has been doing the miracle in China. Mainly, he has been successful in eradicating the poverty and in reducing air pollution in his country. China has been leaving behind all the countries in Technology. Now, China has the world´s fa stest bullet train which runs 400 km per hour which has been possible in his time. There is no doubt Leonel Messi is the world´s best player who has already won 5 times FIFA player of the year which is the highest record until now leaving behind all. He is a good human being more than a footballer. He is married to a childhood friend whom he has known since he was 5 years old. He has been donating tremendously to poverty-stricken countries through Leo foundation aiming at uplifting the lives of children. We have rarely ...

  ( तायामा- खियामा- हेछाकुप्पा ) टुहुरो हेछाकुप्पालाई दिदीहरू तायामा र खियामाले हुर्काउन थाले । आमा बाबु नभएको उनीहरूलाई देखेर चाक्लुङ्धिमा राक्षसनीले उनीहरूको खेतबारी र भकारीको सबै अन्न भण्डार खाएर सकिदिई । उनीहरू भोकभोकै रहन थाले । जङ्गलबाट खोक्ली साक्की र गिठ्ठा भ्याकुर ल्याएर खुवाई भाईलाई तायामा र खियामाले हुर्काइ रहेका थिए । त्यो थाहा पाएर चाक्लुङ्धिमाले खोक्ली साक्कीलाई पाताल भसाई । गिठ्ठा भ्याकुरमा खक्पा छर्केर खान नहुने तीतो बनाई । त्यसपछि दिदीहरूले ऐसेलुको रस ल्याएर भाईलाई दिन थाले तर त्यसले भाई बाँच्न नसक्ने भयो । दिदीहरू बुचुकुलकुमा लोहोरो उसिनी राखेर खानेकुरा खोज्न ठाढा गए । हेछाकुप्पा खाने कुरा पाक्दै छ भन्ने सम्झदै र लोहोरोलाई छाम्दै निकै समय पर्खेर बस्यो । जति पर्खदा पनि नपाकेको देखेर ऊ निराश भएर भोकले लड्यो । लड्दा तातो पानी उसको जीउमा प¥यो । भोक, निराश र तातो पानीले ऊ मरेझै बेहोश भयो । दिनभर तायामा र खियामाल जङ्गलमा खानेकुरा खोज्दा खोज्दा केही पाएनन् । बल्ल बल्ल बनकेरा भेट्टाएका थिए । बेलुका उनीहरूले भाई हेछाकुप्पा मरेको पाए र ज्यादै दुःखी ...

The famous actor  Arnold Schwarzenegger  posted a picture of him sleeping in the street under his famous bronze statue, and wrote sadly (How times changed). The reason he wrote the sentence was not only because he was old, but because when the governor of California opened the hotel with the statue in front of him. The hotel officials told Arnold: "At any time you can come and have a room reserved  in your name". When Arnold left judgment and went to the hotel, the administration refused to give him a room arguing that the hotel was fully booked. He brought a cover and slept under the statue and asked people to imagine it. He wants to convey a message that when he was in a position they were praising him, and when he lost this position they forgot and did not fulfill their promise to him. Yes, times have changed. Do not trust your position or your owner or your power or your intelligence. All of this will not last. In life after death.

Imaginary Gagan and His Mother The foreign country is like the common place where we get opportunity to meet different people from all over the world. I also have friends from different nationalities. One of them is Gagan who is from India. Going abroad means we have our own responsibilities and promises to our families on our shoulder, so do we. We work in the same company. While we are working, we crack jokes to each other for killing time. Besides these, we never share our miseries. I think this is the only way to be happy being an expatriate. Few weeks before, while I was working, I heard the sound of crying. I thought someone was trying to mock but it wasn´t the mock. One of my friends said that Gagan got a call from India informing that his mother is no more. Suddenly, the whole environment turned into despairing. I was also hurt a lot by the news and his cry and felt so sorry for him. Later on, one of my friends saw that Gagan was dialing the number of his moth...

A grandfather come to TIA to see off his grandson Few days before I was talking with my two friends who are from the western part of Nepal. They are planning to go to Nepal as I am. We discussed our lives here and about our families. They are both happily married and both have children. Meanwhile, in our conversation, both expressed their emotional feelings when they left the families which also plunged me in. When they think about going Nepal, they feel happy whereas when they think about leaving the families and the country, they feel like not going. One of them said that he went to Nepal last year taking few months leave from the work. The night before the leaving day of family, his son slept with him clutching his hands because his son was afraid of leaving his father. When his son slept, he went to the toilet but suddenly, his son woke up crying asking for his father. Another friend also expressed the same experiences with his family. This is the representative stor...
