The Rain of Life - Bibek Mishra

Getting Drenched is the only option you have . The rain is unexpected. Sometimes there are dark clouds to tease you and sometimes you have to face the rain from nowhere.Sometimes those rain drops are tiny packets of happiness , like scented flowers falling on you and making you flow. And Sometimes these rain drops are thousands of molecules of problems packed and they fall on you like, people throwing stones at you not leaving any part of your body.Some people are too lucky to face the flowered rain drops not because of their good deeds or anything. Sometimes inheritance works wonders. Some people earn those. Not all are lucky to face the stone drops and get completely dried from it.
Some cannot dry themselves and fall ill and eventually perish. Some are just born to struggle ,face the hailstorm. They are born when its raining cats and dogs and die the same way. They don't even get to choose a peaceful way to die.

This is the rain of life,sometimes all our efforts fall apart with the constant beating of the hail and attain life threatning injuries. Only few efforts of limited people are lucky enough to survive the uninvited calamities and few flourish to bring the constant showering of flowers.
You need to be under the right cloud at the right time. Not all black clouds are bad, some have flowers hidden in their darkness. We just need to find that. And some clouds are so bright that you fall in love with them and suddenly thet start degenerating leaving you to the place where the storms are vorn and the darker clouds lay their intentions clear.
This is the rain of life, No umbrella can stop it falling on you. No matter how hard you try to hide, because this rain is not just from above but it comes from all possible directions with unknown intentions. And we are born to face it whichever way it is.

During the last days of the rana regime, Kaiser Shum sher was the lord saheb in-charge of the nepalese army. Right from his very young age of 15 or 16 Kaiser Shumsher was interested in buying and collecting different types of books and newspapers. In that very young age he also got a chance to visit England with his father Maharaja Chandra. He was very much impressed by the ruling system of England, as well as by the library system and the proper management of books there. Book collection was his hobby and his visit to Britain & British libraries led to increase the number of his books and change in the structure of his own library. From England, he bought & brought with him many books to Kathmandu. Even though the books in his library grew in number they were his personal property and ordinary people didn’t get chance to read them or to have an access to his library. the library was limited to the members of his family, special people of the nation and special visitors from abroad. it remained personal for many years even after the revolution of 2007 b.s. (1950 a.d.) which introduced democracy in Nepal. before his death in 2021 b.s. (1964 a.d.) he wished to hand over his library to the government, thereby making it a national property so that everybody could get the benefit out of it. according to her higness krishna chandra devi rana was taken over by the government of nepal, and since the year 2026 b.s. (1969 a.d.) it is running under the name of kaiser library.

I Am Sorry

Its already round a clock but,
Misunderstanding hasnt gone yet
Lets clear the air
Lets bury the hatchet

Morning Sleep - Badri Aryal

MORNING SLEEP

Image Source-:http://www.deviantart.com/art/Harry-Potter-Good-Morning-148566352

There comes a time,when i should rise from bed
With lots of dreams striking into my head
But The Coziness of the Bed Lures me a lot
More than to an ant, a sugary pot

When early birds start to sing
And the alarm rings sounding ting ting
Snooze,snooze and snooze the alarm
To sleep,for sleeping is the best thing

Early in the morning i do not rise
So i may not be healthy,wealthy or wise
But sleep is sleep and i love sleeping
As much as the greatest possible size

But,
To the tide of time,i must be abide
Despite this sweet sleep,i am obliged to rise
There are places waiting for me to see
And many characters of life i need to be

Twenty one - Saujan Gyawali

Pic-Saujan Gyawali
When I was mid twenty
Unexpected girl purposed me for date
At the middle of night
I was embarrassed, shocked
Finally I turned on my light
Why….???
She purposed me
I was confused…???
Again, my mind thought of her
And! I was confident
My heart says a name of her
I am in love 
This was mid Twenty 

When I was Eighteen and Nineteen
I wish to be like sweet Sixteen
But… my Mom says 
Son do this and that
My Dad says
Noway Son learn this and that
I was completely feed up
I was unaccompanied
That was Eighteen and Nineteen

When I was Seventeen and Sixteen
I used to saw dream
It was much sweet as an ice-cream
Mom says Son you need to be a Doctor
Dad says no no Son you need to be an Engineer
Poor me I wanted to be a Writer!
Everyone laugh at me
Made a joke on me
This is how I made Now
This is how my society made me Now
That was Seventeen and Sixteen

When I was Fifteen and Fourteen 
I was naughty Teen
Infatuation, Affection, Attraction 
What made my study Distraction!
Curiosity of Love and Sex
That what I was made to face
That was Fifteen and Fourteen

When I was Twelve and Thirteen
I lost my friend circle
Only because I couldn’t mingle
I was beaten by a teacher
And they said
You poor Looser you don’t have any future
I don’t know what’s right and wrong
Only used to saw to be Strong
That was Twelve and Thirteen

When I was Ten and Nine
Everyday was fun and last till twenty-four-seven
No more pain
No more gain
Life was simple as growing grain
That was Ten and Nine

When I was Seven and Six
My first Birthday celebration was fixed
Had bicycle as gift
Overwhelmed of joy when I learned
To ride it by sight by sight
That was Awesome!
That was Fantastic!
That was great Seven and Six

When I was Five and Four
I was afraid of taking shower
And! My Dad poured me into the drum
I was shouted as Crunched
That was Five and Four

When I was Three, Two and One
I don’t know who was I
My mind was blank
And I was medium 
To those
Who wanna make a Prank
That was Three Two and One

When I was Zero
My Mom was Pregnant
She thought
Her baby Girl will be same like as her Mother
Unfortunately!
I was born as unexpected baby boy from my Father!
That was Zero
