"जब शब्दमा भाव उत्रन थाल्छन्" : मनोवाद्

घरि घरि त लाग्छ - यहां जित्नेहरु हारिरहेका छन् अनि हार्नेहरु जितिरहेका छन् । जित र हार, विजय र पराजय को यो त्यान्द्रोमा मेरा पाइला अचानक अल्झिन्छन्, म किंकर्तव्यविमूढ हुन्छु अनि प्रश्न को मेघगर्जन ले म आफै कम्पित् भए झै प्रतित् हुन्छ मानौ कुहिरोको काग म भित्रै हराइरहेको छ, मै भित्रको कुनै बिरुवा जल सेचन सगैं फक्रने आशमा छ । यसैले त सल्कन्छन् बेजोड संग जिजिविषा का मैन बत्तीहरु । नकोरिएका रेखा हरु कोरु झै लाग्छ । किन्तु छुट्याउनै पो सकिन हो अजै सम्म - यो धरातल जहा म उभिएकी छु, यो पानी हो या पत्थर्, रेखा को डोबै नबस्ने बालुवा हो या चटान । नदेखिएका सत्य हरु मेरो पनि दर्शनको प्रतिक्षामा छन् । देखिएतापनि यी सत्यहरु कहिलेसम्म पो कैद होलान् र, साचि । यसै बिच "खालिल् गिब्रान्" साउती मार्छन् समिपै आएर । कतै 'The Prophet' मा चित्रित् कुकुर् कै गति त हुने होइन । यो सपना आजको होइन । ज्ञात छ ! यहा सढेका छन्, त्यस्ता अनगिन्ति कुकुर् हरु गल्लि गल्लि मा, इतिहास् को गल्लिमा सदियोदेखि! अहिले पनि छन्, तपाइकै अगाडि हुदा हुन्, तपाइ कै पछाडि । ताल भिन्न छ, सार एउटै । शैलि फरक छ, गन्तव्य दुरुस्तै ।

This week for 'trios'

That day I was suddenly quizzed - why dont we have sisters day in our calendar like we have 'Mothers day', 'Fathers day' and 'Bhaitika' ? And today when i find facebook walls adorned with heart-warming lines for the darling sisters, in my mind sprang up three incredible names I am lavished with and these words, enough they are not, are all dedicated to them.

Worlds apart we were and still are, almost in every respect, as they say! The squabbles, the bickering, enmity - a short lived one and fledgling jealousy, pitting one against the other, getting other fit to be tied by any possible means and enjoying the melodrama thereafter were all the part and parcel of our routines. Difficult it used to be to pass a day both with and without each other (sumita dd). We've cried till we laughed and we have laughed till we cried. But at a long last, it was you who added feelings to these mere expressions.

Words turn dwarf indeed ahead of your love. The word 'sister' itself is bound to find its new meaning and renewed connotations! My girls! allow me to reiterate here that you are my most treasured asset in the whole world and that its not just the absence of parents but the absent of sisters like you may also make someone feel like orphan. At least I would do were you not there!

Apart from a loving sister, the strength you have so diligently nurtured inside you as a woman, the self inspiration you relentlessly draw from somewhere deep inside you and the indomitable guts you are prancing ahead with to prove your name worth it have always mesmerized me like anything. It needs no mention that there is always a page to take out of your self engineered glory.

And not everyone is fortuitous enough to get both 'winner' and 'sister' in one. Yes, I am!

Yet, one thing I surely didn't know was - in those fits of laughter, we were cultivating tons of exhilarating memories to accompany us for miles and miles. Wasn't told that it would last much further and beyond than just one hour! Since long before we knew that we are ought to walk our own life, to commute our own distance and today, while doing my part here, with the stars twinkling at the night, in the water dancing far away in the deep blue sea, in this utter silence, and amid an abyss of daily commotion, I find those memories walking alonG with me. 'You' are still with me in fact, right here, right now, I am just moving my fingers...its your inspiration that is throwing substance to write!!!

The fateful coincidences of birth made us sisters but the destiny justified it!

This week only for you 'trios'!!!

Happy National sister's week - Sumita Kadarya, Sangita Kadariya Prasain, Sabina Kadariya

Ratko Mladic gets arrested

Well its been ages I haven't really posted any in blog! Let me paper down some lines now!


Almost 16 years after his indictment for genocide, crimes against humanity and other war crimes, Rarko Mladic has eventually been arrested! The man who epitomized the slaughter of Muslims and Croats in the Serb campaign of ethnic cleansing and who for the reason had been perceived as a major obstacle in the West-Serb relation.

The arrest so far has been heralded as one of the great success in the international justice and rule of law. And the extradition to The Hague Tribunal on the other lends a big boost to International Criminal Court which to date has existed more in words than in deeds.

The inadequate support from the security council and the paranoia of the big countries has stunted the growth of international criminal court. Mention not about Africa which understandably took the longest time even to listen to the concept of international criminal court! Nearly 12 years have elapsed but evidently, ICC is languished in its infancy. Partly, it has also to do with the internal conflicts on 'power-sharing' and partly, with the clumsy leadership of the chief prosecutors. When the doctrine of R2P led the UN to push Gaddafi to ICC, it is still awaiting the ultimate decision. Well, ICC lacks the authority in this regard who to keep in trial. And like always, chances are enough the deadlock in 5 veto power can render the ICC absolutely inert.

International justice is largely 'political' more than justice itself!

Against this backdrop, Serbia's preparation to extradite Ratko Mladic and hand over to ICC is a great news to welcome! The impunity would lose its grips in the international system, what more would we seek!

As for Serbia, this could prove to be one significant step, in winning the confidence, speculation say, for EU membership as well. It will certainly open the doors for political engagement in Serbia.
