ब्वाँसोले बाघको छाला आफ्नो जिऊमा ला’को देखेँ ।
घरको बाघ वनमा पुग्दा लुते स्याल भा’को देखेँ ।।
‘यसो गर्छु’, ‘उसो गर्छु’ भन्थे ठूलै स्वरले तर,
कुरा मात्रै गर्दा पनि जिउ नै थर्थरा’को देखेँ ।
जस्को बिरोध गरी- गरी आफू ठालू बन्न पुगे ,
आज यीनले तिनकै खुट्टा समाई ढोग्नै ला’ को देखेँ ।
गरिवको मसिहाको नया औतार हिजो-आज,
सवा लाखको विस्तरामा सुत्न भनि गा’को देखेँ ।
विस्तारवादी मुलुकसंग जोरि खेल्छु भन्ने विर,
उल्टै तिन्लाई “माई-बाप” भन्दै रुँदैं गिडगिडा’को देखेँ ।

हिन्दू धर्मावलम्बी नेपालीहरूले बडादशैँको शुरुवात हुने घटस्थापनाको दिन भन्दा अघिको आश्विन महिनाको कृष्णपक्षका पन्ध्र दिनलाई पितृपक्षका रूपमा मान्ने चलन छ । आमा बाबु नभएका वा गुमाइसकेका छोराछोरीले मातृ-पितृ भक्ति दर्शाउन, यो पक्षका तिथिहरूमा माछा-मासु र अशुद्द मानिएका अन्न र खाद्यकुराहरूको सेवन तथा, अशुद्द मानिने अन्य कर्महरूबाट समेत पूर्णत: अलग रहेर बस्नु पर्छ भन्ने विश्वास छ । जुनसुकै साल र महिनाका दिन हरूमा स्वर्गे भएका भए पनि , पितृ ( मातृसहित) हरू देहान्त हुनुभएका तत् तत् तिथीहरूमा यथा विधि पार्वण श्राद्द गरेर पिण्डदान र तर्पण गरी , हामीले हाम्रा स्वर्गीय माता पिता र अन्य वरिष्ठ पितृहरू प्रति समेत श्रद्दा- भक्ति प्रकट गर्न सक्छौँ । आमा र बुबा दुवै गुमाएका छोराहरूले भने पिताको तिथिमा नै एउटै श्राद्द गरी दुवै आत्मालाई एउटै श्राद्द पूजा मार्फत तर्पण वा पिण्डदान गर्न सकिन्छ ।
घरबाट बाहिर परदेशमा रहेकाले भने , स्वदेशमा रहेका आफन्तले श्राद्दकर्म गर्ने हुँदा एकछाके ( श्राद्द भन्दा अघिल्लो दिन ) र श्राद्द पर्ने तिथिका दिन माता-पिताको सम्झनासहित शुद्द भोजन र कर्ममा रही गरीब गुरुवालाई भोजन वा सिदादान गरी आफ्नो पितृकर्तव्य पूरा गर्न सक्छन् ।
यो वर्ष सोह्रश्राद्दको रुपमा चिनिने यो पितृपक्षको आरम्भ भोलि भदौ २९ गते तदनुसार सेप्टेम्बर १५ तारिखबाट हुने भए पनि पूर्णिमा तथा प्रतिपदा तिथिमा श्राद्द गर्नेहरूका लागि भने आज २८ गते वा १४ सेप्टेम्बरबाट ‘एकछाके’ गरी श्राद्दारम्भ हुनेछ । यसरी बीचमा तिथीहरूको घटबढ हुँदै यस वर्षको पितृपक्षको अन्त्य असोज १३ गते अथवा सेप्टेम्बर २९ अमावस्य ( औँसी) तिथिमा हुनेछ । बीचका तिथिहरूमा रजस्वाला, जूठो वा सूतकले गर्दा श्राद्द हुने नभएमा रोकिएको थिथिको श्राद्द पनि औँसीका दिनमा गर्न सकिने शास्त्रीय प्रावधान छ । यसै गरी यस वर्षको घटस्थापना सेप्टेम्बर ३० तारिख परेको जानकारी दिन चाहन्छु।
1. Poet Joseph Brodsky, who was expelled from the Soviet Union in 1972, says that despite his 1987 Nobel Prize in literature, he is uneasy with fame. "I've always preferred," he says, "to be a nobody in a democracy than a crème de la crème in a tyranny."
Everybody knows that we have five senses. But there is one more sense–the sixth sense which is common sense, which should be devoid of nonsense.
केही समय पहिला यो फोटो मैले खिचेको थिय । यहाँ बेल्जियम को इपेर मा प्रथम विश्व युध्दमा बिरगती प्राप्त गर्नेको सम्झनामा मनिस हरु आउँछन । यसै क्रममा भारतीय हरुले बनाएको स्तम्भमा नेपाली पुर्खाको सम्झनामा यो राखेको देख्दा नराम्रो लाग्यो । आफ्नो पुर्खा सम्झन कहिले सम्म भारतीय स्तम्भ प्रयोग गर्नु पर्ने ? तपाईं हरुलाई कस्तो लाग्यो कुनी ?

1. While traveling one summer, a couple stopped at a restaurant and struck up a conversation with an elderly native.
"They sure do have a lot of peculiarities around here," the man commented.
"Yeah," agreed the local. "But they all leave after the tourist season's over."
2. This lady had just had her 50th birthday and found the decade marker traumatic. When she went to get her driver's licence renewed, a very matter-of-fact woman typed out the information, tested her vision, snapped the camera and handed her a laminated card with her picture on it.
"You mean I have to look at this for the next four years?" she jokingly said to her.
"Don't worry about it," she replied. "In four years it'll look good to you."
3. A woman entered a lingerie store, dragging her five-year-old son with her. The child, who'd had his fill of shopping, protested, "Mom, do we have to go in here?"
"You said you wanted a little brother, didn't you?" she replied.
4. Having grown up outside New York, this pastor barely knew a cow from an ear of corn. Until, that is, he married a small-town Ohio girl. Once, he had an assignment at a church in a rural community. The day of his first sermon, he tried hard to fit in. With his wife sitting in the first pew, he began: "I never saw a cow until I met my wife."
5. Heard on a friend's answering machine: "Hi, I'm probably home. I'm just avoiding someone I don't like. Leave a message. If I don't call back, it's you."
6. In his first year in graduate school, a student chatted one day with some classmates about the program's difficulty. A professor overheard them and tried to allay their fears.
"Don't worry too much about grades," he explained.
"When you think you know everything, they give you a Bachelor's degree.
Then when you realise you don't know anything, they give you a Master's.
And when you find out that you don't know anything, but neither does anyone else," he continued, "they give you a doctorate." ( I find it the best, do you think so? :-Eklavya)
7. The Healing Power
An elderly couple was watching TV when a TV evangelist came on air to pray for the sick.
The evangelist said. "For those of you who are sick, I want to pray with you so that you can be cured of your sickness. Place your right hand on the part of your body that is suffering from disorder, and raise your left hand."
The old man placed his right hand on the "old fella" (private part), raised his left hand, and closed his eyes.
His wife saw what he did, and slowly whispered, "Honey, this prayer is to heal the sick, not to raise the dead"
8. At an exclusive restaurant, a party of diners was exhausting the waiter with relentless demands. Through it all, he remained professional. Finally one of the patrons asked the waiter to take the group's picture. He did - from the neck down.
some Question: Why do testing labs prefer to use lawyers instead of mice?
Answer: Because there are more lawyers than mice; the scientists don't get as attached to the lawyers, and there are some things mice won't do.
