The Raining, Coffee boy and Me


When I stepped out my office, the sky was winking with intense lightening. Flashes of light snapped my eyes and followed by thundering. My heart pounded transiently but I walked on my way. On the way to apartment, it started raining with wind along with hailstones falling. My head had been stroke by hailstones and I covered my head with hood of my jacket to save it but I could not withstand and entered a coffee shop. I ordered the coffee. I opened my book and started reading. I got my coffee. 'Hi sir, what are you reading?' Coffee server asked me. I paused for some time and answered him, 'Vedamaa ke chha?' not giving attention to him. He poked me again, 'Well sir, by the way, Vedamaa ke chha?' 'This is none of your business dear.' I am annoyed by his query. These days, I am reading 'Vedamaa ke chha?' book written by Dr. Swami Prapannacharya.

He was saddened by my answer, I could see in his facial expression. I asked him to come to me. He came to me and stood still. 'What do you want to know about Veda?' I asked him. 'Everything what you know about it.' He readily answered me.

 It mainly describes about the then society in Indian continent and Nepal. It even describes the word 'Nepal' is not derived from 'Ne' named saint rather it was already mentioned as Nepal where 'Ne' named saint used to meditate here in Himalaya region. 'So, all the postulates about probable derivations of 'Nepal' word are false!' 'What?! You know about its derivation that is mentioned by historian!' 'Well sir I read in book.' I asked him, 'what level are you studying?' 'Just passed fifth standard but I have read this in some history books.' 'So you are studious huh!' 'Sometimes I study the books whenever I got the chance.'

 It was already stopped raining. I moved out of that coffee shop. The wind was still there. I was walking in little bit high speed mumbling about the Veda and wondering about the knowledge of coffee boy. He taught me to not underestimate anyone and to not get preoccupied with.

बिरबलको धर्को

  अकबर-बिरबल प्रसंगमा अकबरले कहिलेकाही गम्भिर प्रश्न सोध्ने त कहिलेकाही बिरबललाइ अप्ठ्यारोमा पार्न सोधिएका उट्पट्याङ प्रश्नहरुको पनि प्रसंगहरु आउछन् | बिरबलको जवाफले उनलाई अवाक बनाउछ सधैं | बिरबलको जवाफले समाजलाई संदेश पनि दिन्छ |ती सवाल जवाफ मध्ये एउटा यो बिरबलको धर्को पनि हो | अकबरको प्रश्न हुन्छ : अकबरले श्यामपाटीमा चकले एउटा धर्को तान्छन | सबैलाई प्रश्न सोध्छन्, यो धर्कोलाई नछोई  छोटो बनाऊ| जो पनि आउछ त्यो धर्कोलाई छोटो बनाउन मेटाउन खोज्छ | अकबरले सबैलाई प्रश्नको शर्त सम्झाउछन् कि धर्कोलाई नछोई छोटो बनाउने | कसैले पनि त्यो नमेटाइकन छोटो बनाउन नसक्ने जिकिर गर्छन् | अकबर प्रश्न गर्छन् सबै भारदारहरुलाई, के बिरबलले सक्छन त ? उनले पनि सक्दैनन् भन्ने एक स्वर आउछ | सधै बिरबललाई प्रश्नको उत्तर दिने मौका शुरुमै दिने र उसलाई अब्बल कहलाउने तपाइँहरुले आरोप लगाउनु हुन्थ्यो | आज उनलाई अन्त्यमा यो प्रश्न सोध्छु त्यसो त तपाइँहरुको आरोप जस्तो अरुबेला पनि उनलाई शुरुमै उत्तर दिने मौका दिएको थिइन| प्रसङ्गवस बिरबल कतै हुन्छन् र उनलाई डाकिन्छ | अकबरले प्रश्न दोहोर्याउछन् श्यामपाटीको धर्कोलाई ...

High School Chronicle: First Mark in Trigonometry

I was studying in government high school in grade eight. It just came out in my mind that I should join boarding school. I just shared my desire with my mom.  'Daamlo badhna mann lagyo?!' She said, 'you are doing well in government school, so….'  'Well mom, I wanna do more.' I replied immediately. She then readily accepted. Dad also encouraged me to do more. School's principal was asked about my entry in that boarding school. I was ready for entrance test and was waiting in admin office. When principal knew that I was the first boy in government school, he just accepted me in same grade though I was prepared for grade seven. I even needed not appear in the entrance test. Everybody was looking at me. Some talked to me some were yet to talk. Since I was new, every teacher asked my introduction. All the regular students were in their own flock and I was with my high school friend who also admitted just one month before I did. People did not accept me easily a...

Boarding Bajura

When I was assigned for Bajura District for Measles-Rubella (MR) campaign I was excited to visit this district because it was my great opportunity to visit Bajura officially otherwise I may not be able to visit this place personally. After completing some administrative procedures I set out for Bajura District. Driving down to Kohalpur, moving through Bardiya and crossing the Karnali Bridge, we stopped by in Chisapani where we took lunch with fish curry in an eatery. Thereafter we moved towards Dhangadi where we entered the field office of WHO-IPD and talked about technical activity about MR campaign in Far western development region. FWDR consists of 9 districts and one of them is Bajura, a rural district in FWDR where vehicle is yet to reach there. Motor road is on the way of construction.  Martadi Bazar, the HQ of Bajura At 14:00 hour we headed for Dadeldhura where we planned for night stay. While moving towards Dadeldhura, we felt as if we were heading towards Surkhe...
