Samay ek mulyankan

समय- एक मूल्याकँन

म सानो उमेरको हूँदा
संसार धेरै ठूलो हुने गर्दथियो,
मलाई थहा छ,
मेरो घरदेखि स्कूल जाने बाटो भरि
के के चाहीँ थिएन
चानावाला बाजे
लाल फेटेको स्विट्स बन
लम्बुको पप....सुरेशको चिया दोकान
सबै सबै थियो।
अहिले त्यहा मोबाईलको दोकान
पार्लर, वेकरी, रेस्तराँ.... छन्
र पनि सुनसान छ
भौतिक्ता त छ
साँघुरिएको छ आत्मितता।

म सानो छँदा
साझ साच्चै लामो हुने गर्दथियो
प्लास्टिकको गोली लिएर पिट्टू मार्थियौ
टोल खेल्थियौ, ड्याउ ड्याउ खेल्थियौ
थाकेर चूर भइन्थियौ प्रतेक साझ।
अहिले साझ पर्दैन
दिन डल्छ अनि सोझै रात परिहाल्छ
फाँटिलो त छ बेला
साघुरिएको छ समय।

मेरो उमेर सानो हुँदा
मितेरी साच्चै ज्यानै दिने
गहिरो हुँदथियो
दिनभरि हूल बाँधेर खेल्ने
साथीहरुकै घरमा खाने/बस्ने
एकै साथ हास्ने रूने गरिन्थियो।
अहिले पनि कयौं साथीहरू छन
मितेरी भने कोशौ टाढा छ
कहिले कहिं बाटामा भेट भए
हाइ गरि आफ्नो ब्यसत्तामा भाग्दछन
दशै तिहार नव वर्षमा
शुभकामनाको एस एम एस पठाईन्छ
गहराई त छ मितेरीमा
परिवर्तित छ साईनो।

जीवनको सबै भन्दा सत्य यही हो
सानो छँदाको खेल अब
ईन्टरनेटमा व्यस्त भएको छ
समय कहाँ छ म संग
जीवन-समय साह्रै   छोटिएको छ
हिजका कुनै अस्तिव छैन
अनि भोली केवल सपना मात्तै हो
रहयो वर्तमान
स्वपनःचक्र संसारमा
जीवन समृधिको कोसिशमा
हामी मात्रै दौडिरहेका छौ
आफ्नै जीन्दगी संग आफै टाडिरहेका छौ
अब केहि न्युनता ल्याउनु छ
मेरो रफ्तारमा
मेरो जीनदगी जीउनको निम्ती
भरपुर आनन्द लिनको निमती।।

GOTRA SYSTEM IN NEPALI/GORKHALI

Newar are the people native to Kathmandu valley. Their native language is "Nepal Bhasha" aka "Newari". However being the national language of Nepal "Nepali Language" is also spoken by almost all Newar people sometime as a second language and sometime even as the first language. Most of Newar people believe in Hinduism and according to Hindu systems they are categorized into different caste and clans.

Newar population in Nepal is almost 1.3 million which accounts almost 5.5% of total population of Nepal. But despite of having small population, Newar people have great impact in Nepali society.

Newar Vs Maithili/Madheshi
In 1097 AD King Nanya Dev of Karnat dynasty established his kingdom in Mithila region (Tirahut). The center of the kingdom was Simraungadh (सिम्रौनगढ) which is now located in Bara district, South Central Nepal. 1324 AD. When the last king Harisingh Dev was defeated by Delhi Sultan Gayasudin Tuglak (ग़ियास सुद्दीन तुग़लुक़), he escaped from Simraungarh to Kathmandu valley with the statue of Taleju Bhawani. Temples of Taleju Bhawani in Kathmandu, Lalitpur and Bhaktapur districts are believed to be linked with Mithila Kingdom. Many maithili brahmins also migrated to Kathmandu valley during that period and afterwards. During centuries of their residence in Kathmandu they mixed up with the native people of the valley. Today newar brahmin caste Jha, Mishra and Bhatta are believed to be originated from Maithila.
