यो कबिता कुनै बिशेष साथीको आग्रहमा लेखिए पनि यसको स्रोत चाँही साझामा महिला मोर्चाको आव्हान गर्ने रसिका कान्छी, म्रिदुला र निलाशा आदी हुन्

फेरि एउटा नयाँ मोर्चाको आव्हान!

हो यो मोर्चै मोर्चाको संसार हो ।
यहाँ मान्छे छैननन् ।
मान्छे सबै मोर्चा भएका छन्, मोर्चाहरुको हिस्सा भएका छन्, मोर्चाहरुमा बाँडिएका छन् ।
आज मान्छे आफ्नो लागि होइन मोर्चाको लागि बाँचिरहेछ,
उ मोर्चाभित्र बाँचिरहेछ, मोर्चाहरुले घेरिएर बाँचिरहेछ,
र उ मोर्चाकै लागि मरिरहेछ ।
मैले मान्छेको बोली नसुनेको त जुगौ बितिसक्यो,
यहाँ बोल्छन् त केवल मोर्चाहरु
अट्टहास गर्दै, आदेश गर्दै र मोर्चाबिहिन मान्छेहरुको उपहास गर्दै ।
गाउँ गाउँमा मोर्चा, शहर शहरमा मोर्चा,
टोलटोलमा मोर्चा, घरघरमा मोर्चा,
किरासरि सल्यागंबल्यागं सल्यागंबल्यागं सलबलाइरहेका मोर्चा ।

तर मोर्चाहरुको यो भिडमा
फेरि एउटा नयाँ मोर्चाको आव्हान!
म आफूलाई असहाय महसुस गर्छु,
मोर्चाहरुको बिच आफूलाई नितान्त एक्लो महसुस गर्छु ।
चारैतिर हेर्छु, तर मान्छे कतै देख्दिन, देख्छु त केवल मोर्चा अनि मात्र मोर्चा ।
उफ्फ! म एउटा मान्छेको अस्तित्व यी मोर्चाहरुबाट कसरी जोगाउँ?
एउटा कालखन्डको समाप्तीसँगै मान्छे जातीको अस्तित्व निमिट्यान्न् पार्न,
कुनै काल्पनिक कथामा बर्णन गरिएका समयचक्रलाई सफा गर्ने ल्याङगोलिएर्स जस्तै, 
आफ्न तिखा दार्हाहरुलाई उदाएर मलाई लखेटिरहेछन् मोर्चाहरु ।
अनि म भाग्दै छु, भाग्दै छु ।

मैले कैयौ चोटि सोचेको थिए र सोधेको थिए,    
मोर्चाहरु के को लागि र कसको लागि?
मोर्चा खोल्नेहरुबाट त सधैं यसको मिठो उत्तर आउँछ ।
तर मलाई थाहा छ,
सही उत्तर त मोर्चा झेल्नेहरुले मात्र दिनसक्छन् ।
मोर्चा नियम र कानून मिच्नको लागि,
मोर्चा असहाय र अशक्तलाई थिच्नको लागि,
मोर्चा दिनदहाडै मान्छे मार्दै हिंड्नको लागि,
सोझासिधा जनतालाई ठग्न र लुट्नको लागि,
अनि लुटेको धन मिलिजुली बाँड्नको लागि,
मोर्चा मोर्चातन्त्रको लागि, मोर्चा लुटतन्त्रको लागि अनि मोर्चा छुटतन्त्रको लागि

स्वतन्त्र व्यक्तिलाई राजनैतीक आस्थाको बन्दी बनाउन,
र आफ्नो भाडाको टट्टु बनाउन,
राजनैतीक दलहरुको मोर्चा, जनमुक्ती मोर्चा ।
हत्याराहरुलाई माफि दिलाउन कानूनकर्मीहरुको मोर्चा
राजनैतीक पार्टीहरुको मोर्चा ।
विद्यार्थी पढ्ने स्कूल र कलेजहरुमा तालाबन्दी गर्न, 
विद्यार्थी संगठनहरुको मोर्चा ।
बिरामी मार्ने डाक्टरलाई केही गर्न पाइदैन भन्दै जुलुस गर्ने,
स्वास्थ्य व्यवसायीहरुको मोर्चा ।
घुसखोरीलाई कारबाही गर्न नदिन, 
कर्मचारीहरुको मोर्चा ।
जनताको धन र पसिना चुस्ने कालाबजारीलाई जोगाउन, 
व्यपारी र व्यवसायीहरुको मोर्चा ।
अहो! कति धेरै मोर्चा?
किरासरि सल्यागंबल्यागं सल्यागंबल्यागं सलबलाइरहेका मोर्चा।
म यो मोर्चाहरुको भिडबाट एउटा मान्छेको अस्तित्व जोगाउन,
दौडिरहेछु, दौडिरहेछु ..
तर फेरि एउटा नयाँ मोर्चाको आव्हान !
अनि म गर्ल्यामगुर्लुम्म ढल्छु ।

 

 Kati aako eslai.........lekhnapani. Lau GT....yasari nai pragati hos. 

गज्जब

गज्जब छ जिते गज्जब ।

मोर्चा मोर्चा भन्दा भन्दै एक दिन त्यो नि मोर्छा है जितेम्बा ।

"म यो मोर्चाहरुको भिडबाट एउटा मान्छेको अस्तित्व जोगाउन,
दौडिरहेछु, दौडिरहेछु ..
तर फेरि एउटा नयाँ मोर्चाको आव्हान !
अनि म गर्ल्यामगुर्लुम्म ढल्छु ।"

दामी जिते दाई दामी

 

ओहो जितु, कस्तो लेख्न जानेको हजुरले । धेरै नै उत्तम। मलाई त मन पर्‍यो अब हजुरको बिशेष साथीलाई पनि मन पर्‍यो होला।

 कविता मन पराइदिनुहुने र कवितामा आफ्नो प्रतिकृया दिनुहुने लुते बाहुन, सिरियल, राहुलभाइ, मुल्मी, बिर्खे माइला, समिक्षा लगायत सबैलाई धन्यवाद दिन चाहन्छु । मलाई कता कता यो कविताको अन्तिमभागलाई न्याय गर्न नसके जस्तो लाग्छ । खै हिजो आज केटा साथीको प्रतिकृया पनि देख्न पाएको छैन । समी तिमीलाई यो कविता मनपर्‍यो भने पछी मेरो त्यो बिशेष साथीलाई पनि पक्कै मनपर्‍यो होला ।

जिओलोजी टाइगर दाजु ले मलाई वाध्य भएर कुराकानी मा आउन वाध्य नै बनाउनु भो है ! तपाईं को यो कबिता को मैले केही भनेन भने मैले लेख्न जानेको शब्द को बेज्जत हुन्छ भन्ने कुरामा म ढुक्क छु ।
दाजु को कबिता साह्रै हृदय एस्पर्शी हुन्छन  , मन लाई चसक्क घोच्ने । कैले दाजु मुकुन्डो ओदेर हाम्रो अस्लियत बाहिर निकाल्न आउनुहुन्छ त कहिले मोर्चा भनेर हाम्लाई घोच्नु हुन्छ ! 
तपाईं को हरेक कबित को प्रसम्सक हुँ म । आउने दिन्मा पनि यस्तै कबिता ले हाम्रो मन छोयी रहनु भन्ने आग्रह गर्न चाहन्छु ।

म पनि आज बाट एउता मोर्चा खोल्छु
तपाईं को प्रसम्सक हुँ भनी खुलेर भन्छु

 
Love it.

साझामा कबिता र गजल धेरैले लेख्छन्, ती मध्ये थोरैले मात्र त्यसलाई निरन्तरता दिन्छन् र ती मध्ये पनि थोरैले मात्र उत्कृष्ठ रचना गर्छन् । मेरो मूल्यांकनमा अमेरिकाने तिनै थोरै मध्येका एक हुन् । मलाई आफ्नै रचनाले त्यति आनन्द दिएन जति आनन्द अमेरिकानेको शब्दहरुले दिए । म प्रतिको अमेरिकानेको यो विश्वासलाई सदैव जोगाएर राख्ने कोशिस गर्नेछु र आशा गर्छु कि सदा झै अमेरिकानेको पनि उत्कृष्ठ रचनाहरु हामीले निरन्तर पढ्न पाउने छौ ।

कविता मनपराइदिने जन्तरे, हेरी, राजु, फेसबुक, साम लगायत सबैलाई धन्यवाद !

 मोर्चा बिरुद्धको मोर्चा चाहिएको छ 

अस्तु 

साथी rethink ले धेरै राम्रो व्यंग्यबाणको प्रहार गर्नुभएछ । तर शायद साथीले कविताको भाव राम्ररी बुझ्नु भएन जस्तो लाग्यो । शायद यो कविताको शिर्षकले गलत सन्देश दिएको पनि हुनसक्छ त्यसो हो भने म क्षमाप्रार्थी छु तर यो कविताले मोर्चा बिरुद्द मोर्चाको आव्हान गरेको छैन, मोर्चा बिरुद्द आव्हान गरेको छ ।

यदी मैले यहाँले भन्न खोज्नुभएको कुरालाई गलत रुपमा बुझेमा म क्षमाप्रार्थी छु ।


मलाई साथीले गर्नुभएको अस्तुको प्रयोग चाँही बिशेष मनपर्‍यो, कुरो बुझ्नुभयो होला, धन्यवाद!

The beauty of literature is in its interpretation from the readers. It is unfortunate if the writer wants to limit the interpretation to his own.

Awesome writing Geology Tiger. Baphre-baap!

rethink प्रभु हजुरको जो इच्छा! homeyji र furke लाई हार्दिक धन्यवाद!  

Geology Tiger,

You make some really good points in your poem. Sometimes I think to myself all the things about Nepal that will not change in my lifetime. Too much change is exhausting. Everybody wants to change the world. But change is not always the answer. A lot of times it is about being satisfied with what you have and finding inner peace.

Great poem. Maybe we need to start a Morcha for stability and no more change.

 babal khate,

I can understand your frustration and I also have similar feelings regarding the current situation of Nepal. As I am scaling towards higher academic degree, I am closing my door back to home. And the key cause behind this is the political instability we have in our country. I would have been proud geologist serving my country for petroleum exploration along Terai belt. Even several companies have purchased license to explore in that part none of them is risking million-dollar equipment to carry any exploration. If bunch of hooligans vandalize their equipment who is going to repay them? And with no opportunity to serve in my home country, I am now trapped in US and feel guilty everyday. But I can tell you that I have not forgotten my root. If not the next year then the following year, I will be back and start Aloe Vera plant in my village. I don’t care my academic specialization; just want to do something in my country.

It’s not your fault that you want change in Nepal, but as you have pointed out there we need to have stability to get change. If you ask me one question which industry has more potential for the development of Nepal? I’ll say tourism. There is no way we can compete India and China in other sectors. If we can supply domestic demand of agricultural products that will be more than enough forget about exporting anything. Our remittance-based economy can collapse any time. Only sustainable development is through tourism and for that we need stability.

None of the political parties and leaders is serious about the development of the country. All they care about is money and power. And for the sake of their own benefit they keep brainwashing people and will never allow political stability in our country. So how we can fight against this? I know some so called NRN never get tired talking about transfer of technology and money to Nepal but felt pity on them when I heard that they asked financial support from government of Nepal for their annual meeting, shame on them! I remember Timer who always writes sooner or later people of Nepal will be well educated and they will not fall into the dream these political parties are showing to them.

I don’t have any doubt that you are keeping ‘root of our mother country alive. I read one of your posts that you want to take your children to some kind of Newari party and show them the tradition we have back in home. I think that is the way of keeping our root alive. But to bring change on overall situation of country there is no other way than educating our people. Hoemyji’s idea of ‘think tank’ might be very useful. I won’t move backward if someone asks me to join such tank but I prefer to contribute individually in small scale. I am not doing big thing but supporting one Nepalese student financially for his study back in home. I think if each of us who want to see some change in our country supports only one poor student back in home that is definitely make some difference. And we have this awesome platform to share our ideas. So my friend don’t get frustrate and don’t dispose your dream of changing our motherland and keeping root alive. We need stability but that is for change not for what we have now.

BTW, I didn’t follow the link you have posted, just trying to address some of your earlier questions.
Thanks,

Geology Tiger,

It sounds like you are trying to find peace in working on practical solutions like starting an aloe-vera farm. I think that is a wonderful idea. I know you will inspire many people by your actions. Let me know if I can help you in any way.

Once again in your post you have made some great points. I wanted to ask you:

Honestly speaking, in my mind, I don't even know what a stable Nepal would look like? Do you have any idea?
 
Sometimes I try to visualize mentally freezing Nepal and take a picture of a stable Nepal. And I find it so difficult. If Nepal was truly a stable country what would that look like? 

Geology Tiger,
What do you feel are the things that need to happen first, before Nepal can be stable? 

And please don't say political leaders. That is a weak answer. I feel the political leaders are a symptom of the problem. But it is not the root cause. What is the root cause that prevents Nepal from being stable? 

You are a geologist. Think of it in terms of soil. What does soil need to be stable? What is the cause of unstable soil?

In the history of Nepal, has Nepal ever been stable? When?

Honestly, asking myself this question, I feel that during Mahendra's rule, Nepal was the most stable. I know that Nepal was not very democratic in Mahendra's rule. So maybe that is the tough choice that us Nepalese need to make. Maybe we are not mature enough to have both stability and democracy. Maybe, at least for the near future, we need to choose stability instead of democracy. Maybe we need to have a strong leader like King Mahendra was.

I am not proposing that we bring back the monarchy. We are simply discussing ideas. I find discussing ideas, even if the ideas are a little extreme, to be a better alternative than to just throw our hands up in the air and give up, no?
