खाली थियो जमीन
बर्खायाम को समय

Daisy and Sweet Pea -
beauty, innocence, love, purity
April's birth flowers.
...

The white flower blossoms
catch my eye.
The green leaves

Nine colours for nine days
Good fortune and good wealth
Festival of Dashain
Yellow for Pratipada

Kushe Aunsi
a day to remember
all the goodnesses
and blessings of father
...

Kartik Shukla Purnima,
annual harvest moon,
last day of Dashain,
the fifteenth day,

A divine magic, an ancient magic 
happens right in front of my eyes.
Indrajatra,  day when gods walk
among crowds of people
...
