जब टेन्सन हुन्छ मलाई, सिग्रेट सल्काई देउन भाई । यसैमा छ रुपैया धेरै , खान आउछन्, टाढा देखी धाई-धाई । जब लाग्छ धेरै खोकी, रोग ल्याउछ यसैले बोकी । दोकान मा पुगी किन्नलाइ छाम्छु खल्ती, हुन्दैन खानु भन्ने थाहा पाई गर्दैछु गल्ती । कापी छैन बाबा भन्दै रुन्छे छोरा (२), जुत्ता फाट्यो बाबा भन्दै रुन्छे छोरी, कत्तै कुनामा पो छ की खल्ती छाम्छु फेरी । जब टेन्सन हुन्छ मलाई, भट्टीमा जान्छु धाई-धाई । बसे म कुर्सिमा थ्याच्च गयी भट्टी साउनी पनि आज अल्छी भयी, बोट्ल लिई 'खै' कता गयी । पर्खी बसे म धेरै बेर साहुनी नै आउदिन् यसको चाल आज राम्रो छैन्, पक्का म रक्सी पाउदिन । जब म घर जान्छु श्रीमती कच्- कच् गर्छे, चामल छैन्, अन्धकार ले घेरी सक्यो, बत्ती अझै बाल्या छैन् । जब टेन्सन हुन्छ मलाई, चोक मा जान्छु बस्नलाई । 'खै' कता बाट सुन्दरी आई गार्हो भएन दिन बिताउन लाई, जहील्ये म जान थाले त्यहा धाई-धाई । जब टेन्सन हुन्छ मलाई

 By Yozna Tamu Gurung: One of my friends told me that relationship is like a tango, a girl puts her feet forward towards the  guy and guy steps back and vice-versa , and may be that’s true. If we think about our own relationship, no matter how much we claim to love each other, when we try to express our feelings to our partner we do not get the response we were expecting most of the time, and oh boy, I can bet that they feel the same when they try to express their love to us.  May be many people in love would not agree with me, but let me ask you something, how many times do you feel that your partner does not understand your emotion???I am certainly not saying that we are unhappy in our relationship, however, what I am saying is no matter how “happy couple” we are, and how much we love our partner we are human being after all, and we human being expect a lot, especially from the one we love.

But Is that sufficient??? Is that all we can do as a human being???Just help those who are the easiest to help ??? Is that really good enough???How many of us has actually gone out of our way and helped other??? How many of us has stopped a child working on a road side and checked who made him work, while the child labour is illegal in our country?? Or how many of us have paid attention to an old lonely man of the village and wondered what he might be going through to meet his both ends’ meal???We all go to Temple/Church/monastery and pray and feel good about it but how many of us have often stayed back and thought about cleaning the place where we pray??? Hardly few rite?
