हाइ हिल जुत्ता र सौर्न्दर्य राजनीति

दोभान र्राई

सुन्दर पहिरन र शृङ्गारमा सजि“दै मिस नेपालजस्ता सौर्न्दर्य प्रतियोगितामा सामेल युवतीलाई म अभिरुचिस“ग नियाल्छु । प्रतियोगितामा म मात्र दर्शक हुनसक्छु, प्रतियोगी होइन । मेरा कुरा छोड्दिनुस्, हाम्रा चर्चित नायिका रेखा थापा र निरुता सिंह पनि भाग लिन चाहिने योग्यता -उचाइ ५ फिट ४ इन्च) पूरा गर्दैनन् । सायद नेपालका ५० प्रतिशतभन्दा बढी युवती यो मापदण्डभन्दा तल पर्छन् ।

सौर्न्दर्य सापेक्षिक कुरा हो । ठाउ“ अनि समुदायअनुसार यसको आफ्नै मापदण्ड अनि धारणा हुन्छ । यस्ता प्रतियोगितामा पश्चिमी मापदण्डअनुसार नेपाली युवती ज्ाा“चिन्छ । अनि के यस पराया मापदण्डमा उनीहरू कमजोर भए भने नेपाली कुनै पश्चिमी युवतीभन्दा कम सुन्दर पुष्टि हुन्छ त – व्यक्तिगत रूपमा मलाई ढ्याङग्रे पश्चिमी युवतीभन्दा चिटिक्क परेकी एसियन युवती राम्री लाग्छे । अहिलेको मास मिडियाले स्थापित गरेको ‘अग्ली, गोरी, दुब्ली’ जस्ता सौर्न्दर्यको स्टेरियोटाइप विवादको विषय रह“दै आएको छ ।

Forgive, sounds good
Forget, I’m not sure I could
They say time heals everything
But I’m still waiting

“Teso vaye eklai keta sanga ghumda kasto hundo rahecha ta?” Mom asked. (So how does it feel to go around with a guy alone?”

I was in no mood to go back to the experience. “Kasto ni hundaina rahecha, ke hunu ni?” ( Nothing. Nothing much.)

Should have been an experience given your background esp schooling?” she continued.

“Ok here it the answer to your “Yakshya Prasna” I replied. I will relate you the instances and you draw the conclusion.

My feet on a shoe lying on the road…

The first night in Dhunche ( from the pages of my diary)

( Hmm let me give a slight background. We just got back from our fieldtrip to Bridim, and I had planned to write a diary everyday but couldn’t.. still plan to put it in series of which this is the first…And Kali All Bridim writings especially dedicated to you! I feel so good that someone like you reads this blog, keeps telling me “Khoi ta new entry, atti bhayo yo ta!” You make me smile. Thank youuuuuuuuuuuu sooooooooooooo much honey. )

Cell phone. It exists.But it is dead. I don’t care about the time.
The ceiling is green. Long colorful papers are stuck to it.An yellow bulb shines in front of me. She’s sleeping.She is eating.It is the first day of the field trip. We are staying at Hotel Langtang View. Not the world’s best hotels but a blessing nevertheless! Why? Because I am lying on a single bed this time!! Yahooo. Yah, its only me on the bed this time as in didn’t have to share. Sharing is good, when it comes to other things maybe but Bed, its an absolute NO NO for me. I have no record of sound sleep in any of the other field trips because of the sharing factor. Pokhara was an exception; the four of us shrieked ourselves to sleep!! A tiring act for sure. So I am grateful for this bed. And for the music in the background “Usne baat ki kuch aisi dhang se, sapane degaya hajaron rang ka………Pehla nasa, phela khumar” The evergreen love song. Mere listening to it provides the first love experience. He he he
She just got off the bed and is telling me “ Ke danga pari pari maski maski lekhirache yo ,malai kehi thaha chaina.” LOL

Dhunche bazar

Chisapani: A walk to nowhere!!

On the stony way up and down the village of Bridim he told me “ Murkha Keti, dimag le socha” ( Hey foolish girl, use your brains.) Gosainkunda janchu re, eklai!!

“Maile ma super-woman ho vanera kahile vaneko chu ra?” I’ll be back if I can’t, yes I know descend, descend, descend.”

“Security?”

“Waihat. What with security?”

“You know. Mukh khulanu nai parne ho ta?”

“Waihat!” I said again.

On the walk

This isn’t an entry. This is simply ranting. So think twice before you start to read. I say don’t read at all. Who wants to hear anyone else screaming in the first place? And chances are you aren’t going to understand it too!
