Nostalgia of Ganganagar




A city in Chitwan, hundred fifty miles south of Kathmandu,
Lived those who constantly fight against blaze and downpour.
Monsoon washes away homes, living stocks and loved ones.
But you have to go on, Ke Gar Ne!

Unpredictable rhinos appear in the middle of field,
Chasing farmers and playing hide and seek.
Lions’ paws lingering and being relentless.
But you have to survive, Ke Gar Ne!

Wake up at five, have a Del Bat.
Work until my hands shiver, eat another Del Bat.
Hashish - Have A Smoke Happily In Snowy Himalayan!
For life is still great, Ke Gar Ne!



* Ke Gar Ne = "What else you can do" in Nepali
Ganganagar is the village I volunteered in 2003 with INFO Nepal, a non-profit organization.
