Night Out

The night was dark

but I rose with spark

when you asked me for a walk

on the beautiful path

with you

holding each other's hand

strolling around the light stands

Observing the moon

in it's loom,

we were walking around the buzz

but took no notice on other stuffs

we were sharing our dreams

giving each other the inner bliss,

Then, I dared to kiss you

simply to express you

how much I have love for you

The night was a pleasure,

I will always save the moment as a treasure

the beauty of the light,

the moon in the night,

our short walk

memorable talk

and
yes, of course

the feelings that we shared.

....

I don't know why

your face gives a twinkle on my eyes

Your smiles,

Oh! God!

It gives a feeling that I can walk with you thousand miles. 

Hope

It's dusk,

darkness will haunt soon.

But, not to worry dear!

After every noon,

the sun will rise

making this beauty

shine more bright. 

मेरी परी

तिम्रो त्यो मुस्कान
तिम्रो त्यो नजर
तिम्रो त्यो मुहार
हेरी रहु लाग्छ सधै भरी
दिन रात केही नगरी

तिमीसगका ्रप्रत्यक पल
चञ्चल ती तिम्रा अधर
बाध्छन् मलाई तिमी भित्र
देखाउदै जीवनका नया गन्त्वय

कहिले काही लाग्छ
परी हौ तिमी
जो आयौ मेरो जीवनमा
मीठो वहार बनी

When Bodde walked into my classroom

What have you been doing there at Chapagaun? Is it your career? Why did you quit your job? It was good. You were doing well. This sudden shift in job will hamper you professional life and many more. I had been listening these statements since a long time and most probably it started the day since I made up my mind to join Teach For Nepal and is still going on when I am at the stage of going to complete my two years of fellowship.

I had a strong will power to continue it and am doing it. Now when I am nearly at the end of it, I have a strong desire of being involved in this further more as by now I have started to enjoy it. I have started to like the way children behave. I have started to interact with them. Before two years, I had a different reason to join this movement. I had a desire to be in the society and be part of a change rather than just advocating about it. And now, I am obsessed with it. The slow and small change that I can feel has really made me crave more for it. But with all these thoughts also, some where I may not have been able to answer those frequent questions that people raise towards me. Also, sometimes I would feel am I in the right place?- I would have progressed more if I had been doing something for my career. I had to go through the thick and thin moments, also had highs and lows. When I am saying that now, I have been obsessed with what I am doing now, there are also times when I feel frustrated and irritated.

I got all my queries answered. All those negative thoughts just passed away so magnificently when US Ambassador to Nepal Peter W. Bodde walked into my classroom and answered one of my students' question "Our country is not developed like America, so if you actually were born here as a Nepali, then what would you be doing here at Nepal?" He just replied looking towards me, " I would be doing what your teacher is doing."

We were informed that 'One day in a classroom' initiative is going to launch soon with the aim of introducing our students to the leaders of various sectors. We, all fellows were excited as well as nervous about it. I too was with the same feeling and it was more when I knew that the initiative is going to launch from our school and more than that US Ambassador to Nepal, Peter W Bodde, himself is going to come into my classroom. I was nervous about it. My students were nervous too. So, now my responsibility was to hide my nervousness and help my students be away from their nervousness. That's why I started preparing for it. I gave them information about who an Ambassador is? What are his duties and responsibilities and many more.

Then, it was January 8, 12:20 pm, the time when Bodde was said to be there at the class. He was there, exactly on time with his great smile and positivity. He started with the wonderful story of a Malawian youth called Willian Kamkwamba, who built a windmill in his village with limited resources. With his story he continuously focused them to believe in themselves, keep on trying and respecting each others. Then, he let the floor open for my students to ask questions to him. They had their queries on his personal and professional life. And it really went on nicely. During the whole process, I could feel that they were still nervous, but they didn't show it. They seemed really confident. The forty minutes was over and Bodde walked out from the classroom, leaving his long lasting impression. He not only made my students confident and motivated them for believing on what they are doing, but me as well for what I have been doing. It was really wonderful feeling welcoming him in the classroom.

For my Girlfriend

Our first photo of 2015

We love each other,

with all our heart and soul

though, don't have any jealousy and struggle

when we talk with the other.

We don't complain on what we wear

We don't have any oaths and swear

I do my work and she does her own

with our own choices and goals

We, do have different views

even own personal issues

but also,

we share

we care

each other,
always and forever.

Only You

You are my crush

You are my infatuation

You are my love

How shall I express,

that my feeling for you is unjust?

I had never realized that love is so divine,

there will be someone whom I would pine

With these feeling of wonder

I just ponder

do you feel the same for me?

Yes or No

whatever the answer be

doesn't matter;

as it's not the feeling what I feel for you,

but it's what I don't feel for anyone

but you,

only you.

Move On

For you, 

it took a decade

to realize your mistake

that 

I wasn't right for you

now, 

you mention the role of destiny

Few years back,

I was beautiful and gullible

at present,

you find me miserable

You say,

I have lost the charm

but how could you forgot the time's demand?

Yes, I have grown old;

will continue to grow more

It's your mistake

if you were acting fake

I am not the water of lake

who would remain always in a constant state.

It were you, who chose a river

and now,

 you are blaming me as a sinner

for all those what happened

for all the sufferings gained

oh please! now hold on

it's time to move on.

Virtual Love

Few days ago, 

I was lost and gone

on my own emotion

sometimes happy

sometimes snappy

whatever I would do

there was no one to talk to

Suddenly,

you appeared

and I changed my gear

all my emotions shifted on you

Now I always have someone 

from morning to noon.

I can't show

where you actually are

I don't know

whether you are near or far

but, I can feel you

inside me, deep inside me

from where I can listen your voice

calling my name and asking my choice

Don't worry about my expectations

I will not bother you for any justifications

I just love and trust you from my side

I know one day you will certainly come out from the hide

Right now, I am enjoying the share

that I have someone whom I can care

I love endorsing you

I love supporting you

You may say I am going out of my mind

but, dear! what shall I do,

when you are always on my sight?

I had never thought

that I would change as such

but the fact is

 I am enjoying this change

this sudden amend of lane

There is nothing that I wouldn't sacrifice

for that special moment

when we would walk hand in hand

I know one day you would come

in front of me breaking this virtual world. 

Building Toilets (Story of Transformation 3)

If you were given opportunity to redecorate or spruce up any place, you think is the most important part of your every day life, where would you do that? Kitchen- of course, it may come if you are a foodie or if you are a book lover, study room may be your choice or your bed room, or living room or any other room but for Bishisht Bhatta, it's the 'TOILET', the place which is rarely discussed; but where everyone either you are a foodie or a sleepy head, book worm or something other that interests you, everyone is obliged to go.

Bishisht, 24, an undergraduate student of computer engineering is also a freelance full stack web app developer was previously the volunteer of Nepal Wireless.  He also shares experience of helping Mahabir Pun, Magsaysay award winner, in extending a server in 2011. He had no any previous idea about how the school education system has been functioning here in Nepal and was shocked to notice the gloomy picture when he happened to reach Achham district. Now, he has been working as a volunteer teacher of Shodasha Devi Higher Secondary School, Achham.

Shodasha Devi Higher Secondary School, Achham.

He has a very interesting story of how he started to work in Shodasha School. He was in Kathmandu, when he got a call from his dad who has been working in a Vet office in Achham to do some website development for his office. He accepted his dad's request thinking that he could travel a new place and know about it as travelling is one of his hobbies. Without any delay, he took a bus to Mahendranagar then to Achham. While he was just roaming around the place, he overheard two teachers complaining about the students of government school and got to know that the teachers were some kind of tension because of the upcoming S.L.C examination. Then he went towards them and asked them what their problem was. He found out that there was lack of teachers in the school. Abruptly he thought about volunteering there and asked them whether he can teach there or not? But they overlooked his interest saying that the school was far and he may not be able to work. So he went to the District Education Office, there and met the staffs and talked to them about his qualification and his interest in working as a teacher in the school. This amazed the whole office. But they were convinced with him and offered him to teach Science, which he happily accepted. Since then, he is teaching science to grade ten students in Achham. 

School's toilet

He wasn't moved with the fact that he would not be given any payment for his work, but he was really very uncomfortable to see the condition of toilet in his school. Most important part of the whole thing is that after working as a teacher he knew that there are various problems due to which the quality of education is diminishing. But more than that he was startled to find out that toilet as the main reason of school drop out there.
That's why now he has started a fund raising campaign to build a toilet in his school since 15th November and has a target to collect $2000. By now he has raised $496. Along with building toilet he has a wish to manage sanitary pads for girls of Achham, who find a big issue during their menstruation period.  While talking to him I really found him very optimistic on this regard though he knows that there are going to be some hurdles in his work. He is ready to face the downs as well. He,taking the help of Sam Cookie's song says 'A change is gonna come'.

Here by, let us help Bishisht in his mission of building the toilet for his students at his school at Achham. Our small support can help him and his students a lot as we know that building adequate WASH facilities in schools is key to ensure that girls stay in school and complete their education.
