प्रदेशीको दशै

सबै घरमा भेला भयो होला
आशिर्वाद थाप्दै,
निधारमा भरि टीका लाउदै होला
आँगन डिलहरुमा सयपत्रीका मुनाहरु फ्रक्रिदै होला
खेतभरि धानको बाला लह- लह झुल्दै होला
गाँवलेहरु रमाइलो गर्दै घुम्दै होला।

बर्षौ हराएका अनुहारहरु देखिका होलान
गाँव छाडेकाहरु पनि आएका होलान
जिन्दगीको दुःख भुलेर विश्राम गर्दै होलान
बच्चाहरु दक्षिणा पाएर गन्दै होलान
बुडा पाकाहरु अक्षेता, अविर जमरा लगाउदै
"दुर्गामाता दाहिने होस, रोग हटोस्
दिर्घायुहोस" यस्तै के-के भन्दै होलान।

तर म त प्रदेशी
मुटुभित्र गाँव बोकेर
" होला र होलान" भन्दै टाढामा छु
फर्किन सकिन घर, यस टिकामा पनि
यहाँ टिकाबिनाको रित्तो निधारमा छु

देश सुरक्षा लागि सिमानामा खटिएको सपाही होइन म
कार्यलयबाट विदा नपाएको जगिरे पनि होइन म
कहिले गाँव नर्फकने गरि भौतारिएको छोरा होइन म
संस्कृति र परम्परा भुलेर
पुर्खाको मानेको प्रथा लतियाएर
मातिएको वेवारिसे पनि होइन म
आफुले टेकेको माटो छाडेर
भोगेको समाजलाई बिर्सेर
नयाँ भुगोलको खोजमा निस्केको
कोलम्बस र भास्को-डा -गामा पनि होइन म

बस! म एक सामान्य प्रदेशी
एउटा सपना बोकेर हिडेको यात्री
करुणा, सत्य र प्रेमको
संदेश बाँड्न लागेको यात्री
जसले गाँवको माया मनमा बोकेर
धरतीलाई बिछ्यौना ठानेको छ
जसले ताराहरु हरेर
आकाशलाई सिङ्गो छाना मानेको छ।

*Amidst reports that China plans to build a major dam on the Brahmaputra"
India on Thursday said it “carefully monitors” all developments relating to the river, and that it intends to remain engaged with China on the issue of trans-border rivers to safeguard its interests.
External affairs ministry spokesperson Anurag Srivastava said to the media that the Chinese side has conveyed to India on several occasions that it was only undertaking run-of-the-river hydropower projects, which do not involve diversion of the waters of the Brahmaputra.
He was also asked about media reports that China will build a ”super dam” on the lower reaches of the Yarlung Tsangbo river in Tibet.
Srivastava said, “We have taken note of some media reports in this regard. The government carefully monitors all developments on the Brahmaputra river,”.
Noting issues relating to trans-border rivers were discussed with China under the ambit of an institutionalized expert-level mechanism which was established in 200 as well as through diplomatic channels, the MEA spokesperson said, “We intend to remain engaged with China on the issue of trans-border rivers to safeguard our interests.”
The MEA spokesperson also said that “as a lower riparian State with considerable established user rights to the waters of the trans-border rivers, the government has consistently conveyed its views and concerns to the Chinese authorities and has urged them to ensure that the interests of downstream states are not harmed by any activities in upstream areas.”
In Beijing, the Chinese foreign ministry said there is no need to have “any anxiety” over the project and that China will continue to have “good communication” with lower riparian states – India and Bangladesh.
On China’s plans to build the dam over the river near the Line of Actual Control (LAC) near Arunachal Pradesh where the Brahmaputra enters India, Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson Hua Chunying told a media briefing that the “hydropower development in the lower reaches of Yarlung Zangbo River is China’s legitimate right. When it comes to the use and development of cross-border rivers, China always acts responsibly.”
“We have a policy featuring development and conservation and all projects will go through science-based planning and assessment giving full consideration to impact downstream and accommodating the interests of upstream and downstream regions,” Hua said.
“The development of lower reaches of Yarlung Zangbo is in the early stages of planning and assessment. There is no need to read too much into that,” she said and added that “going forward China, India, Bangladesh, and other concerned countries will continue to have good communication. There is no need for any anxiety on this matter.”

*युवा (कविता)

मध्य जिवनको उर्जाशील पाटोलाई
सिर्जनाको दौडमा नराखेर
जेलभित्रको कैदिहरुमा तिम्रो यौवन देख्छु
वृध बाबाको काँध लत्याएर
उज्यालो भविष्य पन्साएर
अध्यारो गल्लीको झुण्डहरुमा
तिम्रो निराश अनुहार भेट्छु
खवरकागजको फ्ररन्ट लाईनमा
बलात्कारको बदनामी कालो दागले
कलकलाउदो रुप लछ्याप्रै भिजेको पाउछु

समाजको अाशाहरु सधै हारे जस्तो
कर्णधार भरोसाहरु यसै विलाए जस्तो
चरेस कोकिन गाँजामा छ जिवनका जोश
कुन मार्ग समात्यौ युवा! तिम्रो विचार कस्तो

भत्किएको संसारलाई फेरि जोडेर
कुलत विचारलाई छोडेर
जिवनको नयाँ क्षितिज उघार्नु छ
अाफ्नो कर्मको गाँस अाफैले पचाउनु छ
अाफु नै असल बनी अरुलाई पनि सुधार्नु छ

नकारात्मकको हुण्डरीमा
सकारात्मकको दियो वाल्नु एउटा
जवानी सधै रहन्न एकनास
अाफ्नो क्षमता चिनेर बदल्नु संसार
नछुटोस नटुटोस् अाशाका चोइटा

कर्म गर्नु अरुको लागि देखि सुर्य उज्यालो
नफस्नु कहिले कुलतमा फाल्नु मनको तुवाँलो
दुःखित नुहुनु कहिले, दुःखकै छ संसार
जित्ने शक्ति अाफैमा छ मात्रै खोल्नु चेतना दुवार।

*The international vaccine supply chain has been targeted by cyber-espionage, according to IBM.
The company says it tracked a campaign aimed at the delivery "cold chain" used to keep vaccines at the right temperature during transportation.
The attackers' identity is unclear - but IBM said the sophistication of their methods indicated a nation-state.
It follows warnings from governments - including the UK's - of countries targeting aspects of vaccine research.
IBM says it believes the campaign started in September 2020.
It says phishing emails were sent out across six countries, which targeted organizations linked to the Cold Chain Equipment Optimisation Platform (CCEOP) of Gavi, the international vaccine alliance.
Gavi's partners include the World Health Organization, Unicef, the World Bank, and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. They help distribute vaccines around the world to some of the poorest regions.
This sometimes requires a "cold chain".
For example, the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine - which was not the specific target of this campaign - will need to be kept at a temperature of about -70C as it is moved about.
The attackers impersonated a business executive from a legitimate Chinese company involved in CCEOP's supply cold chain to make it more likely the targets would engage with the email.
They then sent phishing emails to organizations that provided transportation, which contained malicious code, and asked for people's login credentials.
That could have allowed them to understand the infrastructure that governments intended to use to distribute vaccines.
"Advanced insight into the purchase and movement of a vaccine that can impact life and the global economy is likely a high-value and high-priority nation-state target," IBM says.
IBM says it has notified those targeted as well as law-enforcement authorities.
The US's Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (Cisa) has issued an alert encouraging organizations associated with the storage and transport of a vaccine to be on guard for the kind of attacks linked to IBM's report.
In July, the UK warned Russian intelligence had targeted UK vaccine research, including at Oxford.
The US also warned of Chinese hacking, while, more recently, Microsoft said it had seen North Korean and Russian hackers targeting vaccine research.
Officials suggested the activity so far had been about intelligence gathering rather than disruption of any research.
