Puffs of dashain

"Baba what are you going to buy for me? Baba please we will buy a new cap ok? Baba we will also buy a spiderman dress for me. Is it fine baba? When will we go baba? All of my friends at school are showing off their new toys already."

Hari recalls what his son was asking him this morning when he went to drop his son, mohan to school.
After taking another puff from the cigarette, he puts his hand inside his pant's pocket. Rs 500, that was all he had in there. Rs 500 is not enough to celebrate as big a festival as dashain. 


Next morning during breakfast .....

Mohan: "Baba today is half day at school, please take me shopping. We will go to that big city ok baba?"

Hari: "Yes sure my dearest son. We will go to the city and buy too many things from the bazaar."

........................…


"Baba you told me we will buy a lot of thing but what did you let me buy? Nothing!!
You lied to me. I will jump from this bus window and die "
Mohan was sobbing.
Hari: "Chora(son) dont be silly why would you jump from this bus window? Its not good manners to say such things."
Mohan: "Why do you care its my life that i am taking not yours?"

.........
An announcer shouting "SALE SALE SALE.
Every item @ just Rs 125 ". 

.......
Mohan: "Baba this is the same toy i was looking the other day. Wow a new cap too and a tshirt......"

Hari feels pleased seeing that joy on his son's face.

..................

Dashain is about family, about togetherness , about making good memories rather than about spending more than you can or more than you should. Its about killing lone rather than taking loan. Its about small happiness with big impact.
So enjoy your dashain , make your loved ones happy .
Buy our dashain cards at a reasonale price , just Rs 2 per card . 
Just kidding.
Happy dashain

Days of life

Lifeless am i? Laying down On my bed I cant move I can see I cant hear Thoughts have conjested A cup of tea i ask Nd a bed to sleep And let me live in peace 12 inch washing tub Placed in my bedroom  I have shame but had no washroom So let me live in peace So the other day i text ya know? My bunch of people I tell em am tensed got some problem at work Ya know they were tensed equally? Alas not a lil trace of it for me , shoot. Why are you scared? Did you do something wrong? Am only human, too much on my mind, you only add to my pain Oh my mother don't know But she has nothing to worry about She asks me to help her But i cant move a feet She is tired of physical pain I am tired of my thoughts At nights i awoke, there was a fight i had to win Asked for help And now the enemy is butchering me My body lies in my bed Lifeless I cant move a feet I can only see My heart is so heavy Weaving thoughts and we

My Lucid Dream

I want to spread my arms As wide as i can Close my  eyes  Shut everything off And let myself go Fall so deep And as i fall I want to fly  As high as i can go Live my dream Feel the excitement of flying No more as a dream No more so real yet so dreamy feel The clear blue sky above me And oh so far the land is I rest then upon the green grass ground See the beautiful white clouds Like a hot air balloon In the sky I see the beautiful mountains Oh so beautiful they are As i am flying  Only my eyes and memories have them captured My eyes open I am in my bed But i cant let go of my dream So i wana spread my arms As wide as i can Shut my eyes off And let myself go Fall deep  Fall so deep  And as i almost touch the ground I will find my wings....

A strange friendship

Lately I haven't been a morning person. Well who am i kidding i have never been a morning person. Anyways, today i had to visit a temple nearby because my mom wanted me to. So in my own time i went there. I organized my puja thali. And when i was doing so I noticed a little girl who was looking at what i was doing fascinatingly. There was this goat as well who was also fascinated by some flowers and a raddish i had in my thali.  I started doing my puja, fully aware the goat was eyeing my puja thali.  In our culture we first offer puja to lord ganesh. Only then we offer puja to other gods. After doing the same, offering my puja to lord ganesh,i went inside the main temple of Bhairav. She tagged along and later i realized so did the goat.  The goat was disturbing  in a cute way. And the lil girl forcefully offered her help by holiding my thali for me. While i was kneeling down and doing my worship, she was making offerings from the thali herself.  And our bond started. The tem
