A love letter to my dear

Dear Prerana

tapailai aja pahilochoti ma “timi” sambodhana gardaichhu. Yo timiko sambodhanale manama eka tamasako romanchakata janmaeko chha. Mutu chhito chhito chaleko bhana bhairahechha.

Visvasa chha timi risaune chhainau, ekachoti dhairyale yo chithi padhne nai chhau. Ma thakisake………… Satya ho ma nikai thakisake, yati dherai aphantaharu bhaera pani ma eklo nai chhu, sahara bihina nai chhu. Bhautika sukhaka samagriharu kinna sakiepani maya ra mana kinna nasakinu sayada manavajatiko sababhanda du:Khadayi paksa ho.

Tyasaile bhautikarupama sampanna bhaera pani ma mayavihina nai banchiraheko chhu ra banchnuko namama euta yantra banchiraheko chhu. Ma timro mayama dherai agadi badhi sakeko chhu. Ra mero antaraatmale pachhadi pharkane kurama kahile pani satha dieko chhaina ra dine pani chhaina. Tara malai thaha chha manisaka sabai chahanaharu pura huna sakdainan, ma timilai mana parauchhu ra maya garchhu yasa arthama timilai maile prapta garnu ra timile mero maya ra prema bhavanako kadara gari maya satnu mero saubhagya ho.

Yadi timi mero antaraatma bata prasphutita mayako udbavegaharu lai kora ra bakavasa samjhanchhau bhane mero bhannu kehi chhaina kinaki prema ra ghrina hridayabata prasphutita hune kuraharu hun. Timi malai manaparauna pani sakchhau ra ghrina garna pani sakchhau, yo timro nitanta byaktigata kuraharu ho. Tara……… timilai thaha chha?

Manava jivanama kata kata svartha pani lukeko hunchha, yasa arthama u aphule mana paraeko byaktibata sattama maya nai chahanchha na ki ghrina ra tiraskara.

Rojina, timi vastabamai mero prerana hau, adarsa hau, puja hau, sraddha hau ra maya hau. Timro salinata, saralata, baicharika byapakata; nirdosa, nispapa anuharanai yo bartamanama mero asthako kendrabindu bhaeko chha.

……….. Ma timilai napae pani marne chhaina, tara mero bachai mrityu bhanda pani sayada ajhai pidadayaka hune chha. Bastuta; timi mero lagi hava pani jhain anivarya avasyakata banisakeki chhau. Timro ra mero manasika tatha baicharika samanatako sanyojana huna sakema hamro lagi hamilai nyano sanga banchna pugne sansara bhane avasya nai prapta hunechha. Ma timilai sansaraka sampurna khusiharu dinchhu bhanne davi gardina. akasaka tara tipne diva sapana bhanda euta sano phula siuridine yathartatama malai badhi annada lagchha, tyasaile bhautika sukhama katai kehi kami aepani ananta nyano mayama timilai jindagibhara dubairahane bacha bhane ma avasaya nai dina sakchhu.

Huna ta yahan bacha nikai sasto hunchha tyasaile bachama bisvasa garnu tyati buddimani hundaina……. Tara, sampurna samaja nai bisvasama adeko ra mayako jaga ta jhan bisvasakai addhrisya intaharule nai haline hunda nachaherai pani ma yahan bachaka kuraharu gariraheko chhu. aja sammako timro ma pratiko mulyankana bata nai
timi malai hera ra anumana gara ma kati hadasamma bisvasa yogya chhu. Yo timro adhikarako kura ho ra yo jimma maile timimathi nai chhodeko chhu.

Rojina, yo patra ma nikai asabadi bhaera lekhdaichhu. Mero mana nikai kahalieko chha, timro asvikritiko kalpanale pani ma tyasai tyasai tarsieko chhu. Tara kosisama chhu ma svikriti ra asvikriti dubailai sahajai apanauna sakun bhanera. Sano hunda suneko thine bhavile nidharama lekhchha bhanera ra yadi yo sancho ho bhane pani kheda chha malai tyasa niyati prati. Mero bhagya ma svanyama le lekhna paunu parne ho. Jaba bhagya ma bhogchhu tara tyasko nirdharana aru kasaile garchha bhane mero bholiko bhagya lekhne adhikara maile timilai kina nasumpinu?

Timi mero bholiko bhagya lekha timilai pūrna adhikara dieko chhu chahe dina lekha ya rata lekha. Dherai ke lekhaun timro sundaratako barnana garna ma ma sahasa chhaina ra aru kasaile tyasto dussahasa garchha bhane pani tyo sandhai apuro hunechha.

Rojina, mero kunai pani kriyakalapale yadi timro sambedanasila hridayama sanaimatra thesa lage pani timi avesama aunu pardaina tyasalai ma mero jindagiko patanako ksana samjhane chhu ra amphailai dhikkarne chhu.

one love story in nepali language(नेपालीमा)

one love story in nepali language(नेपालीमा)

मेघनालाई देख्दा अचेल मलाई किन किन त्यो केटीको याद आउँछ । त्यो कथा । एउटा केटा र केटीको कथा ।

?दुख भनेककै सम्बन्ध त हो नि । कोही मान्छेसँग सम्बन्ध गाँसिन्छ अनि सुरु हुन्छ यात्रा, दुखको ।? ऊ सानै थिई तर थिई मेरी गुरुआमा । कति छिटै सुरू भयो उसको अलौकिक सफर, भिन्नै सफर, मान्छेले बनाएको नौलो ब्रह्माण्डको सफर ।

?प्रेम आफैँ बस्छ । हो आफैँ, सोचेर पनि प्रेम गरिन्छ र?? निधारबाट तल झरेर आँखा छोप्न आइपुगेका कपाललाई पन्छाउँदै उसले भनी । म मौन रहेँ ।
?त्यो हरि भन्छ प्रेम एउटा खेल हो र उसले कुनै पनि खेलमा हार्न जानेको छैन । के प्रेम साँच्चै एउटा खेल हो त राज?? मसँग मौनता बाहेक उसको प्रश्नको लागि अर्को उपयुक्त उत्तर नै थिएन ।

?तर म मान्दिन । म प्रमाणित गरिदिन्छु प्रेम हिसाब गरेर बस्दैन । यो खेल हैन । मलाई सहयोग गर है राज ।?

यो पल्ट मैले मुख खोलेँ - ?हुन्छ ।?

उ भन्दै गई । मै लेख्दै गएँ प्रेमपत्र, उसैको लागि ।

म त्यति धेरै अबोध त पक्कै थिइन तर उसको मीठो प्रस्ताव नकार्ने साहस भएन । यसरी लेखियो जिन्दगीको प्रथम प्रेमपत्र । मीठो भूल गरे, सायद जानाजानी ।

त्यसको केही समय पछि मैले आफ्नै शब्दहरू गुँथेर प्रेमपत्र लेखेँ तर अरूकै लागि । म लेखनदास, तमसुक होइन प्रेमपत्र लेख्दै छु अनि काम चाहीँ हुँदैछ अरू कसैको ।

भर्खरै जस्तो लाग्छ ‍हरि र निरुको बिहेभोज खाएको । जुनदिन पछि प्रेमपत्र लेख्ने आवश्यक्ता नै रहेन । कति लामो समय बितिसकेछ । कस्तो होशै भएन ।

?के नचाहिँदो कुरा गरेको । दिनभरि घरमा झोक्राएर बसिरहछौ अनि आउँछन् यस्ता उट्पट्याङ विचारहरू । कति चोटी भनिसकेँ मसँग भजनमण्डीमा हिँड भनेर ।? रिसाउँदा हरिले आँखीभौँ माथि उचाल्छ अनि यस्तो लाग्छ उसको चाउरी परेका गालाहरूको मुजा सोहोरिएर उसको निधारमा आइपुगेको होस् । ओठहरू खुल्दै बन्द हुँदा भित्रबाट चिहाउदै गरेको उजाड प्रदेशमा ठडिएको स्तम्भ झैँ लाग्ने उसको एक्लो दाँतलाई देख्दा अरू बेला त मलाई निकै हाँसउठ्थ्यो । तर अहिले मलाई अरू नै कुराले पिरिरहेको छ । 

?होइन, मैले प्रेमपत्र लेखेकै छैन?

?ए बुढा फुस्क्यौ कि क्या हो, नातिनिले सुनी भने के भन्ली ??

?होइन हरि मैले बिर्सेछु । यत्तिका वर्ष बिते, प्रेमपत्र लेख्नै बिर्सेँछु ।?

?अनि भाउजुलाई कसरी फसायौ त ??

?फोनबाट । पत्रको आवस्यकता नै परेन । मेरो प्रेमको प्रमाण केही छैन हरि ।?

?तिमी पनि बेला-बेला अचम्मकै कुरा गर्छौ ।?

?हैन हरि मैले साँच्चै बिर्सेँछु ।?

अब सायद हरिलाई मैले ठट्टा गरेको हैन भन्ने थाहाभयो ।

?राज म तिम्रो कुरा बुझ्छु । तिमीलाई भाउजुको सम्झना आयो । मेरो पनि त त्यस्तै छ । के गर्नु जीवन यस्तै हो । आए पछि सबैले??

?भो भो हरि यो भन्दा बढी हैन । मैले जीवनमृत्युको कुरा गरेको हैन । तिम्री भाउजु मेरो मुटुभित्र छे । मलाई दु:ख त उसलाई प्रेमपत्र लेख्न नपाएको मा छ । जिन्दगीले बडो नराम्रोसँग नचायो । अहिले यो ठाउँमा उभिएर हेर्दा यात्रा त जहाँबाट सुरू गरेँ त्यहीँ पो आइपुगेछ । एक्लै थिएँ तिम्री भाउजु अगाडि, एक्लै नै छु ऊ गएपछि पनि । सोचेको थिएँ उसलाई प्रेमपत्र लेख्छु र पोस्ट गर्छु उसलाई पत्तै नदिई । तर हरी ...?

?हजुरबुवा कविता लेखिदिनु भयो ।?

?मेरी प्यारी नातिनीले भनेपछि लेख्दिन त?

?अब त म फेरि प्रतियोगितामा फस्ट हुने भएँ?

मेघना कविता लिएर ढोकातिर गई । ढोका छेउमा पुगेर केही छिन अडिई र फर्केर म छेउ आई ।

?हजुरबुवा एउटा कुरा भन्छु नरिसाउनुस् है !? उसले आँखा चिम्लिएकी थिई । उसको कपाल निधारबाट तल झरेर आँखासम्म आइपुगेको थियो ।

?हजुरबुवा मलाई एउटा चिठी लेखिदिनुस् न !?

?कस्तो चिठी नानु ??

उ केही भन्न खोज्छे तर आवाज निस्कँदैन ।

?प्रेमपत्र हो ??

उ छक्क पर्छे, थोरै लजाउँछे, अनि बिस्तारै टाउको हल्लाएर हो भन्ने इसारा गर्छे ।

म खुसी हुन्छु । उसको टाउको प्रेमपूर्वक मुसार्छु ।

?आऊ यहीँ नजिकै बस । भन को हो त्यो भाग्यमानी जसलाई मेरी राजकुमारीले प्रेमपत्र लेख्न खोज्दै छे ??

?रोहित?

प्रिय रोहित

मेरा दिनहरू आजकल गुलाफझैँ फुल्न थालेका छन् । तिम्रो मीठो सम्झना शीतल पवन बनेर पत्र-पत्र छुँदै ...

?भजनमण्डलीको कुनै बुढी फसाएनौ ? प्रेमपत्र लेख्नु छ भने भन है !? मेरो कुरा सुनेर हरि अवाक हुन्छ । उसको मुख खुलेको छ । उसको सान धानिरहेको एक्लो स्तम्भ पनि ढलेछ । म खित्का छोडेर हाँस्न पुग्छु ।

Brandon Woelfel

Up close and personal with Brandon Woelfel

Some people just succeed to inspire others, and their following keeps growing. Instagram sensation Brandon Woelfel is first out in our series about inspiring people. Brandon has a sensational eye for photography and his post production skills are just stunning. With a following on Instagram exceeding 405 000 people, and still growing it fast, Brandon shows us how great photography is done.

 

We had the pleasure of working with Brandon at Governers Ball in New York City in the beginning of June. He is an amazingly cool guy with tremendous skills, and he also has a great sense of style himself - perfect to capture the Andreas Ingeman lifestyle. His visual eye is impreossive, and it keeps inspiring over and over again. We asked him a few question to get his perspectives, and to get to now him a bit better, and we also included some favorite photos from his Instagram.

 Instagram.

So Brandon, how would you describe yourself and how does it reflect in your photographies?

I would describe myself as a creative person who thrives around people. Collaborating with other creatives really boosts my quality of work. Being able to bounce ideas off one another is a necessity for a project!

And how would your friends describe you?

My friends would probably describe me as a creative person who's always down for an adventure! 

Tell us about why you started doing photography

Always being involved in art when I was younger, I was (and still am) searching for new mediums that interest me. Following all various photographers on Instagram years ago, I thought why not give it a try. Having my main source of inspiration come from Instagram, I would definitely say this not so little app anymore was the reason I started taking photos.

Who or what is your biggest inspiration when it comes to photography?

I have so many forms of inspiration when it comes to photography, it's hard to narrow it down to just one. Inspiration can come from anywhere but when choosing a specific photographer, I strive for someone who isn't just creative but is also very hardworking at their craft.

Describe the perfect shoot

The perfect shoot for me would have to be right after the sun sets, with many of my good friends just having fun, bouncing photo ideas off one another to create a magical moment.

Photography seems like a big part of your life, what do you do when your time is not spent on photography?

Photography is definitely a huge part of my life. When I'm not shooting or editing I love going on little road trips with friends! Whether it be an hour away or the next state over, it's always awesome to experience new settings with great people. 

What is your best advice for aspiring photographers?

My best advice for aspiring photographers is to continue to create content. If it's what you love it'll find its way into your daily life. Starting to view everyday objects or locations as a new photoshoot setting and how you could mentally get the best shot even without a camera in hand is a great way to start!

You have achieved so much at a young age, where do you see yourself in 5 years?

I hopefully see myself still doing what I love, photography. Working with awesome brands to create some amazing content!

What is your biggest dream?

My biggest dream is to be able to continue partnering with other creatives and companies, making a living off my passion in life.

What person do you really really really want to take a photo of? And why?

I have a few models in mind when thinking of my dream person to shoot! A few include (by Instagram handles) @marooshk @hologrvphic & @pyperamerica. All these people are amazing models but also seem super genuine!

What is your favorite camera to shoot with?

My go to camera is my Nikon D750, I use that camera for almost every shoot!

Instagram accounts everyone should follow, and why?

Some of my current favorite Instagram accounts are @waitingontheworld, @hinfluencercollective & @zachallia. Whether it be a feature account or a photography account, those users inspire me daily to keep creating.

What is your favorite photo, and why?

My favorite photo I've taken changes with time as I go on more and more shoots. This image is a recent favorite and I think if you look at it long enough could really create a personal story to whoever is viewing it. 

Brandon is truly an inspirational and genuine human being, and his professionalism and creative mind is making him a great photographer to work with, and a guy you should be following. We will definitely work with him again.
