केही गर्ने, नयाँ बनाउने आजकाल फुर्सद नै हुदैन। यहाँपनि एक जुगपछि फर्केको छु। कति विचार विषयहरु कागजमा नै सिमीत छन्, फेरी कति त अझै मानसपटलको भुमरीको फन्दामा परेका छन्। विस्तारै यी गाँठोहरु फुकेल्नु पर्नेछ। स्व. श्री काजी भीमसेन थापाको यो चित्रपनि कापीमा कोर्न थालेको झन्डै एक बर्ष भएछ। बल्ल तल्लगरी खत्तम गरेको छु।
भीमसेन थापाको नै किन? सोध्नु हुन्छ भने - साँच्चै भन्नु पर्दा थाहा छैन (सम्झना छैन भन्दा बेश होला।) अघि भने झै यो मानसपटलमा कैयन कुराहरु खेली रहन्छन् लेखीन भने बिर्सी हाल्छु। तै यसो सोच्नु पर्दा भीमसेन थापा नेपालको राजनितीका शिकार हुन् अनि उनी मेरा मावल पट्टीका जिजु बराजुपनि हुन्।
पुराना किताबहरुको माझमा उनको यो तस्बिर भेटेको थिएँ, मेल्बर्नको स्टेट पुस्तकालयमा। तस्बिर धमिलो थियो, यसो खुलाउने चेष्टा मात्र हो। केही भुल भए सुझावको प्रतिक्षामा बस्ने छु।
I do not get much time to do anything now-a-days. I have returned here after ages. Many projects are half-done or are still in my mind, where they tumble and go round in circles. Late Prime Minister Bhimsen Thapa's portrait is one of those half-finished projects, which has been lying around for almost a year (!!).
Why him? if you ask me - I don't know (more appropriately - I don't remember). As I mentioned above, my mind is a whirlpool of ideas (boasting? are we?) that are events. He was, however, one of the famous victims of Nepali politics and my great-great-great-and more grandfather on Maternal side.
I discovered this image of him, at the State Library of VIC. Not one of the best picture, I guess this is my attempt to bring it up (a bit).
Please do comment.
