Introduction

The author of “Self-Reflection at the Moment,” a new anthology of poems, is a Nepali-writers-in-English. In the foreword, he offered a comment about poetry and creation. These texts express many emotions.

Poetry is a form of communication with the soul

Dr Nawa Raj Subba.

Poetry is something that will not die no matter how much you write. I thought I’d finished everything in six collections of poems, but the poem refused to leave me, so I’m picking up the seventh anthology of poems again.

As the flower of emotion was swinging in my mind, I reminded myself, now, let’s move on to something else. I reasoned that the compositions that would come in the poem were just my repetitions. But poetry is not something that can be written willingly or not. Just as if we are told not to die, we will die, but if we are dead, we will live; that is how poetry is written, as long as we live. I have considered poetry as my pulse. I believe creation to be the soul. If someone tries to meet or touch me, I meet them in poetry; I meet them at the level of the soul.

जति लेखे पनि धीत नमर्ने चीज रहेछ कविता । ६ थान काव्यसङ्‍ग्रहमा सबै कुरा निथ्रियो होला भन्ठानेर जति परपर हुन खोजे पनि कविताले मलाई नछोडे पछि पुनः सातौं काव्यलाई मालामा उन्दैछु । भावनाका फूल मनमा झुल्दै गर्दा अब अरूतिरै लागौं भनेर आफूलाई निकै सम्झाएँ । कवितामा अब आउने रचना मेरा पुनरावृत्ति मात्र हुन् भनेर आफैसित तर्किएँ । तर आफूले चाहेर लेखिने र नचाहेर नलेखिने चीज होइन रहेछ कविता । जसरी नमरौं भनिन्छ मरिन्छ, अब त मरे हुन्थ्यो भन्यो बाँचिन्छ, त्यस्तै रहेछ कविता, जति दिन बाँचिन्छ लेखिन्छ । मैले मेरो धुकधुकी ठानेको छु कवितालाई । आत्मा ठानेको छु सिर्जनालाई । कसैले मलाई भेट्न खोजे, छाम्‍न खोजे म कवितामै भेटिन्छु, आत्माको तहमैं भेटिन्छु ।

विगत २०७२ साल वैशाखमा नेपालमा ठूलो भूकम्प आएताका कवितासङ्ग्रह आधाउधि लेखिसकेको रहेछु । २०७७ सालमा कोरोना कोभिड १९ महामारीको दोस्रो लहर चल्दा हाम्रो हालत निकै बिग्रियो । भूकम्पको चोट र महामारीको पीडा र बीचमा राजनीतिको रापले मान्छेको दोहोलो काड्दा रचनाको चापले सङ्‍ग्रहको आकार लियो । एक दशकको अनुभूतिलाई एउटा मालामा उन्दा उचित होला भन्‍ठानें ।

An object created by a person using his knowledge, wisdom, and art is called intellectual property. The creations produced in literature, music, art, prose, poetry, drama, and music are intellectual property. For example, writers’ stories, poems, and plays are their intellectual property. Likewise, any song is the intellectual property of the lyricist, music composer, and singer. Copyright laws protect these intellectual properties.

Intellectual Property Day is celebrated on April 26 every year around the world. There is no need to go around the city carrying placards or banners to commemorate this day. If possible, intellectuals can sit together and discuss this. Even sitting alone, you can make the day worthwhile by thinking about its values ​​and beliefs.

Background of the Village

Hangpang village in Taplejung district has now transformed into Hangpang ward under Atharai Triveni Gaupalika of federal Nepal. This village has become the headquarters of neighboring Change, Phulbari, and Nighuradin villages. Saraswati Higher Secondary School locates in the center of Atharai Triveni Gaupalika and is spreading the light of education. To know the educational background here, we need to read the school’s history.

Taplejung’s Atharai Hangpang Village, before 2032 VS, was under a remote village in the Tehrathum district. Although this village was distant, the people there were aware. After the beginning of the 21st century, there was a tradition of gathering students in clusters and appointing a teacher to teach them. It prepared human resources who knew how to do accounting for that time.

The light of the social consciousness of the 2007 revolution of Nepal has reached here. Then, people felt that informal education alone could not meet the demands and needs of the time. As a result, people started building community schools in different centers of the village. They arranged a system based on public participation to pay teachers. The society agreed to pay the teachers by collecting the grain or money donated by everyone. In this way, the campaign to open and operate the school proceeded. As a result, in 2018, the Hangpang people established the Saraswati D.S.B. middle school in the village.

गाउँको पृष्ठभूमि 

ताप्लेजुङ जिल्ला अन्तर्गत पर्ने यो हाङपाङ गाउँ हाल संघीय नेपालको आठराई त्रिवेणी अन्तर्गतको हाङपाङ वडामा परिणत भएको छ । अहिले यो हाङपाङ गाउँ छिमेकी चाँगे, फूलबारी र निघुरादिन गाउँको सदरमुकाम गाउँपालिका बनेको छ । सरस्वती उच्च माद्यमिक विद्यालय आठराई त्रिवेणी गाउँपालिका सदरमुकाममा रहेर सर्वत्र शिक्षाको ज्योति फैलाइरहेको छ । यहाँको शैक्षिक पृष्ठभूमि जान्‍न विद्यालयको इतिहास कोट्याउन पर्दछ । 

आठराई हाङपाङ गाउँ वि.स. २०३२ अघि तेह्रथूम जिल्लाको एक दूर्गम गाउँ आठराई हाङपाङ थियो । यो गाउँ दुर्गम भए तापनि त्यहाँका जनता जागरुक थिए । विक्रम सम्बत् एक्काइशौं शताब्दी आरम्भपछि यहाँ टोलटोलमा विद्यार्थी भेला पारेर पढाउनलाई शिक्षक राख्‍ने चलन चल्यो । यसले तत्कालीन अवस्थामा लेखापढी गर्न जान्ने जनशक्ति तयार पार्‍यो । 

२००७ सालको क्रान्तिको सामाजिक चेतनाको प्रकाश यहाँसम्म आइपुग्यो । तब अनौपचारिक शिक्षाले मात्र समयको माग र आवश्यकतालाई पूरा गर्न नसकेको महसुस भयो । फलस्वरुप गाउँघरका विभिन्न केन्द्रहरुमा जनताले सामुदायिक विद्यालय भवन बनाउन थाले । उनीहरुले शिक्षकलाई पारिश्रामिक दिनका लागि जनसहभागितामा आधारित ब्यवस्था मिलाए । सबैको मुठीदानमा प्राप्त अन्न वा रकम दान सङ्कलन गरी शिक्षकलाई पारिश्रामिक दिने ब्यवस्था मिलाइयो । यसरी नै विद्यालय खोल्ने र संचालन गर्ने अभियान अघि बढ्यो । फलस्वरुप २०१८ सालमा हाङपाङमा सरस्वती डि.एस.बी. मिडिल स्कुल स्थापना भयो ।

The Khas language of Nepal is called the Nepali language. This language is the contact language of Nepal. This language, which sounds like Hindi, is also called the hilly Hindi language by some people. In this way, some linguists of Nepal did not like to call the Nepali language a mountain Hindi language. They knew that Sanskrit, Urdu, Hindi, Nepali Khas, etc., ​​belong to the Indo-European language family. Even though India and Nepal are culturally similar, they are different countries today. Similarly, although Nepali Khas and Hindi belong to the same language family, the opinion was born that the Nepali language should not be called the hilly Hindi.

Native tongues merged with the Khas and became different from previously during the establishment of Nepal, along with the spread of the Nepali Khas language. The Khasa language is comprised of simple Jharra terms. Therefore, Nepali linguists felt that the Nepali Khas language has a lot of originality even though it sounds like Hindi when spoken or heard. Thus, a national opinion formed that the Nepali language should no longer be called Pahari Hindi, i.e., the sister of Hindi, the Nepali Jharrobadi language movement. Balkrishna Pokharel is one of the leading activists of the Jharrowist language movement.

He was born on the 13th of Bhadra in Vikram Sambat 1990 in Chisapani Gadhi of Makwanpur. His father’s name is Subba Sharda Pokharel, and his mother’s name is Chayadevi Pokharel. He was educated at Banaras Hindu University and Calcutta University. After education, he made a notable contribution to linguistics. His major works include History of Khas Jatilo Itihas, 100 Years, and the Nepali Dictionary. In addition, he has written many books such as novels, poems, stories, essays, etc. He taught at Tribhuvan University for a long time. He is known as Professor Balkrishna Pokharel in the Nepali language. He died on 12th Falgun 2075 at the age of 86 in Biratnagar.
