Bikesh Deshar

Here for the first time I climbed rocky mountains in all their perfection of purity and spirituality,—a gentle trekker, perhaps mountaineer face to face with the stormy sky, kept safe and warm by a thousand miracles. I leaped lightly from rock to rock, glorifying in the eternal freshness and sufficiency of Nature, and in the ineffable tenderness with which she nurtures her mountain darlings in the very fountains of bluster. Fresh beauty appeared at every step, delicate rock-mosses, and groups of the fairest flowers.  [.......]After completing LCT together with my cousin brothers, I decided to do Gosainkunda Trek on my own two feet. They went home after getting some physical problems. My story began after we separated from Bamboo where we took our last lunch together. Then, I walked further down the Bamboo to the point where Gosainkunda Trail starts from LCT.   As I was coming down, I looked for some stones on the banks of Langtang river to take home as souvenir before I ...

Set Free in The Wild 1. Each day seems so happy If we live our life full of wonder. And here I am with an urge To pack my backpacks and hit the bleary trails. Through patience which I built with time And lavishly grown inside my heart To be set free in the wild. 8. Nature is always an unerring cradle of inspiration. However, I was compelled and waited too long indoors. With an audacious call, I now breakdown the walls. Filtering my thoughts and emotions----- I put my boots on and shed my old skin too To walk away from the neonside of the asphalt jungle And just to be set free in the wild. 15. To know how it feels; "To be set free in the wild" I follow the sunlight as it falls on hills and meadows. I lie on the moors, gaze up the sky and say: Let my mind expand into its commodious, Let an infinite sky awake a sky inside my mind. I sit right by the river and mingle with its ceaseless flow. Moreover, I stand by the waterfall to purify my soul with its hea...

Wish I Had a Winter Coat 1. Seasons pass in a blink of God's eye. An autumn had arrived; for when winter has nighed. What I feel is only blue black cold! Wish I had a winter coat. 5. I look out from the broken window. The mountains---I've dreamed of concealing under the snow. As the blizzard rages, The cracked heart aches. 9. If the night could hear, I would tell a story or two. Of a day that has been through hues of blue. When we don't know for what to prepare. If we are on an uncertain time of the year. 13. In such an emptiness, I lie under the starlit sky. For as long as space exists, soothing stars pass by. And I wish If I had a winter coat tonight. I would feel the warmth of it inside. 17. A new day dawns, the sun will rise. Through the clouds, the sun will shine. A cold wind blows, rest assured. Earnestly searching-----mile after mile-----the lost hope----- is heard. 21. Wish I had a winter coat, the joy of having it, would be immeasurable....

Perched atop a hill on the western edge of the Kathmandu Valley, the ancient   Swayambunath Stupa   (known to tourists as the   Monkey Temple ) is  Kathmandu 's most important Buddhist shrine. The sleepy, all-seeing Buddha eyes that stare out from the top have become the quintessential symbol of Nepal. Swayambhu   (Devanagari : स्वयम्भू स्तूप ;  Newar :   स्वयंभू ; sometimes   Swoyambhu ) is an ancient religious architecture atop a hill in the  Kathmandu Valley , west of  Kathamndu   city. The Tibetan name for the site means 'Sublime Trees' (Wylie :   Phags.pa Shing.kun ), for the many varieties of trees found on the hill. However,   Shing.kun   may be a corruption of the local  Nepal Bhasa   name for the complex,   Singgu , meaning 'self-sprung'.   For the Buddhist  Newars   in whose mythological history and origin myth as well as day-to-day religious practice, Swayambhu occupies a...
