तिमी सँगै हुनु कति सुन्दर तिमी नहुनु झनै सुन्दर तिम्रो याद अति सुन्दर सम्झिनु कति सुन्दर सम्झिँदै हराउनु झनै सुन्दर हराउँदै सम्झिनु त अझै सुन्दर बिर्सिएको सम्झना अति सुन्दर सपना कति सुन्दर सपनाको कल्पना झनै सुन्दर सपनामा तिमी भए अझै सुन्दर सपना झैं लाग्ने सम्झना सुन्दर बोल्दा खेरि कति सुन्दर नबोल्दा त झनै सुन्दर मनले बोल्दा अति सुन्दर आँखाको भाका अझै सुन्दर पहाड सुन्दर नदी सुन्दर धर्ती सुन्दर आकाश सुन्दर त्यो आकाशमुनि तिमी सुन्दर तिमीसँगै म भए झनै सुन्दर नभए नि कल्पना सुन्दर तिमी सुन्दर म सुन्दर सँगै भए संसार सुन्दर नभए नि सपना सुन्दर सपना झैं लाग्ने जिन्दगी सुन्दर जनवरी १७, २०१२, काठमाण्डु

I was born as a typical Nepali street dog, somewhere near Chitwan National Park. I do not remember my birthday. But my god-parents have given me a birthday. January 11, 2012 was just another cold night in Saurha. Restaurants were crowded with tourists, there were music, alcohol, food, and fire. Nobody would see me or care me. I lost my parents. I was trying to live with thrown leftovers and whatever I could find to eat. I had wounds, scratches and lots of leeches all over my body. Life was a misery. And I had stopped crying. For few days I cried a lot but nobody cared. Suddenly some boys and girls came and picked me just to say hello. They held me for few minutes on their warm lap. Later they tried to leave me where they found me earlier, near a restaurant in the beach. They thought that I belong to the restaurant owner. But the restaurant owner did not allow them to leave me there, claiming that I do not belong to them. Those 4 guys did not have any option except taking me...

I am happy happier than I look you see, I am sad Sadder than I look I forgive more than I do I forget more than I remember, you remember. I forgive god for their cruelty I forgive devils for their kindness I even forgive politicians of my country. I forget the color of my skin, your skin, my blood, your blood, my flag, your flag, my sky, your sky. I forget the size of the universe shape of the earth, I forget wars, I forget bodies, I forget bloods, I forget more than I remember I love more than I do you feel. I revolt I raise I rise I rage more, more than I do more than you see, they feel.
