Happy New Year 2067

Happy New Year!!!

I Love You

I loved you, love you and will love you
Why you don't understand me
What are you trying to do
To this innocent man full of lovely heart
You have come to my life
You will be staying in my life
But why you don't understand me

Years have passed but you know
there have been much misery and resentment
than joys and happiness
you also know why it has happened
you also know why there are tears in you eyes
but why don't you try to soothe them as they are worthless
i have done nothing as such to cause tears in your beautiful eyes

the little flowers lurcing with the breeze of autman
have learnt how to create tears
you have taught them how to
weep without cause
you have taught them how to sob
without getting their heart really hurt

you have travelled a small part of our journey
there are miles to go before we sleep
but you seem to be tired in the middle
the little flowers with their wonderful
short journey have undergone through
miserable part of their journey

there have been rumours outside
we are not going to earn
no house, no car, no rice and no clothes
but i am sure we have been doing the best
a hut is more grandiose than a castle
if the dwellers are happy
why do you make such a fuss

people have earned you know
how they have done
there is more misery, pain and hurts
in their life
you know dear, money comes with pain
stays with pain and fades away with pain

so many people have money but non of them are happy
happiness is not in the castle full of tension
but in the hut of poors where there is tranquility
hut is more precious house if you have
made it with your own toil
i need nothing a beautiful hut
you me, and two little flowers
just two little flowers lurching
in the long route of my journey!!!

JANAKPUR VISIT

I went to Janakpur on 20 March, 2010 from Buddha Air flght at 9:45 PM. It was of 30 minutes distance. I reached at the Janakpur Airport at 10:30AM. Umesh Mandal from Asaman Nepal received me and took me to the Rama Hotel. As soon as reached Janakpur, I heard the news of the death of Girija Prasad Koirala, the president of Nepali Congress and ex-primeminister of Nepal. At 12:10 he was declared dead.
I tool lunch at Rama Hotel and went to visit Dr. Rajendra Bimal, a linguist or Maithili Language. I talked about the project I was going to carry out. He was so happy to hear so but he wanted to make his own contribution rather than helping to others which I took positively. He has done a comparative study between Nepali and Maithili language morphology. Then we decided that we will carry out the research jointly. He appreciated my concept paper on carrying out the research. Then I went to Rama Hotel and took rest.
Next day, 21st March, I went to the office of Aasman Nepal and visited Nawal Kishor Yadav, the director of the NGO. Then we three-Me, Nawal, Umesh went to visit Bimal sir. We made an oral agreement that the project will be carried out in team. Then from the flight of 4PM I came to Kathmandu.
