NEW YEAR CHEER

At the sound of the tolling midnight bell
a brand new year will begin.
Let's raise our hopes in a confidant toast,
to the promise it ushers in.

May your battles be few, your pleasure many,
your wishes and dreams fulfilled.
May your confidence stand in the face of loss
and give you the strength to rebuild.

May peace of heart fill all your days
may serenity grace your soul.
May tranquil moments bless your life
and keep your spirit whole.

Naya Barsha
- Sarvagya Sanjog (Revival)
Gaye purana din haru atit bani sadhai jai
Aune chan naya din haru sunaulo bhabishya bani sadhai jai
Yehi rit ra yehi kramma rumalli hindne chau hami sadhai nai
Naya asha, naya chahana ra naya ikchay boki feri nai
Kasai ko pratikchya ma basne chan kati nai
Kasai ko milan ra kasai ko bichod hune cha feri nai
Aakhir ustai hunecha naya barsha ajhai nai
Jasto hijo thiyo tyestai hunecha bholi nai
Tara feri Kehi Naya hune asha ma parkhidai

Gaye purana din haru atit bani sadhai jai
Aune chan naya din haru sunaul bhabishya bani sadhai jai

Naya Barsha 2004 ko sabai sajhaites ma hardik subhakamana

Very Romantic Nepe jyu. A nice creation!
I have heard about you from someone in Minnesotta. I am sure you know who I am referring to.
Keep up the good work

Revival ji,

Thank you for your encouraging words.

Yes, I could guess who you are referring to. She has been missed in Sajha. Let her know.

Hey DP jyu, I am not trying to refute you but I was just wondering about how we celebrate all the festivals here in US in the name of glorifying them. The underlying fact I have seen in US is its not the festivals we want to celebrate, but rather find another excuse to drink and party (Not that I find anything wrong with it ;). Even in the most authentic Nepali programs, after a few culturally rich music, the techno, hiphop and the bhagras take over and we proclaim that we are preserving our heritage. :)...well, the good news is..we still remember the name of the festivals :)

Hey nepe dai,
Wonderful poetry....hope to see more of those in future!

btw, mero ni naya barsa ko suvakamana..yappi yappi new year!

Himal bhanda aglo kamana,
Bishaal timro samjhana,
Hasi rahos timro zindagi,
yehi cha timlai mero,
Naya barsha ko suvakaman RE KYA AJHA!

Nice Poetry Nepe
Happy New Year to all!
Nepe Posted on 05-Jan-04 04:43 PM

Thank you Oys and Brikuti for your nice words. Bhrikuti ji, If you are a newcomer, then let me, on behalf of all Sajhaites, extend a warm welcome to you.

By the way, I remember once I had given this name 'Brikuti' to NK. By the way, where the hell has NK disappeared ? Khoj-khabar paam.

And really by the way, the above poem of mine, with a minor extension, is appearing in freenepal.com too.
Bhunte Posted on 05-Jan-04 08:22 PM

Nepe, Happy New Year!

If Nepe had written the type of new year greetings above during late 80s, this time we might be reading Nepe as a top notch neta was given audience by King and so. How come such idea didn't supur in Nepe's mind that time? Or, are they archived in Nepe's secret diaries?...lol. Nepe's gajal itself is great, but the content to be valued as great as gajal a real hard work may be necessary to convince those many ghayel Nepali over the past 13 years...this is my very neutral and apolitical opinion hai...
Nepe Posted on 06-Jan-04 11:51 AM

Bhunte ji,

I do not know how to reply to your query. But thank you for your remarks.

The above poem or just about any poem of mine is not necessarily about me. As it is true for every fictional work, a protagonist is a protagonist. This person exists in writer's imagination, but not necessarily as the writer him/herself.

Therefore thinking to reward a poet/writer for the characters of his/her creation is too kind, if not naive.

As for my political resume, I thought you know by now that I am far away from party politics since my 'palaayan' from Akhil, my Alma mater, so to speak, exactly in 80'. I dream about the republic of Nepal and share my dream with friends whenever and wherever I get chance. But I must tell that this has been mostly a lonely journey of mine. May be not any more. But this is all about my political resume for now.

And I also thought you must know by now that being a neta who gets audience of the king is not a dream but a nightmare for me.

On the same note, I find Krishnajwala Devkota quite appropriately phrasing the current series of Darshan-bhet as a rat race made difficult by students' movement (See 'Darshan bhet ko Musa daud-lai vidyarthi aandolan ko fanda', Kantipur, today)

A little disgression, but it seems Maharaj Gyanendra is out to play his game. Well good luck to him. But sooner he realize that there is only one point agenda the history is with on his table to negotiate and that that is the mother of all agendas, the better.
SITARA Posted on 06-Jan-04 12:42 PM

Why do I feel...
like a solitary swan,
gliding in silent rythms.
As the year slides,
in easy sweep,
in graceful arch.
My past captured
in a woven casket,
sprinkled with flowers of joys.
A vessel bound to enternity,
baptized by sacred tears.
The present, a voiceless experience,
stretched into the future,
in unuttered anticipation.


I wish every Sajhaite ( Silent as well as "vocal" readers) positive vibes and energies for this year!


Nepe ji:
May I, appease my thirst with the beauty in your script, in silence!

The Journey

Why do I feel...
like a solitary swan,
gliding in silent rhythms.
As the year slides;
in easy sweep,
in graceful arch.
My past captured
in a woven casket,
sprinkled with flowers of joys.
A vessel bound to eternity,
baptized by sacred tears.
The present, a voiceless experience,
stretched into the future,
in unuttered anticipation!!!


I wish every Sajhaite ( Silent as well as "vocal" readers) positive vibes and energies for this year!

And yes, my New Year's resolutions SHOULD include correcting typos before posting!

A belated Happy New Year to all the sajhabasis.

Nepe ji kabita ramro lagyo. Amik Sherchan also decided not to see the king. Reason: the parites have already stated their position umpteen times and why another needless natak. I liked that.

Sitara ji, positive vibes and energies to you too !!!
Nepe Posted on 08-Jan-04 01:28 PM

Sitara,

My past captured
in a woven casket,
sprinkled with flowers of joys.
A vessel bound to eternity,
baptized by sacred tears.


Ah, the harmony with and the celebration of life the way it is these lines convey !

VillageVoice,

Amik Sherchan also decided not to see the king. Reason: the parites have already stated their position umpteen times and why another needless natak. I liked that.

Me too. And I think this is among few good things the smaller Leftists have done to be forgiven for their otherwise absurd Communist tag.

And thank you for your nice word to my poem. Here is a slightly longer version.
