#Safemotherhood in #Jumla

Many of my reading materials, poems, stories etc. lost while I am travelling here and there. I do not have safe house till 2001 so many times I have given to my friends, sisters for preservation of documents though it doesn't work as always.
I have given all my documents to Mathura, Devi didi while I completed Bachelor of Nursing. I do not know where was my Thesis that is done on Menstrual Hygiene. I tried so much in library of Nursing campus, asked with my Supervisor Sulochana Manadhar and other friends but couldn't found at all. Meanwhile, I also interested to find my other thesis in different capacity. Unfortunately, I did found only the Proposal though I paste here.

Poem on Menstrual restriction

बली मागिरहन्छ छोरीहरु छाउ गोठमा।

भगवानको घर, चाहे जो सुकैको होस्,
मैले देख्छु आमा, बा, अनी देश ।
सबैले पुजे पादुका, मागे होलान् आसिर्बाद,
पुगे ४० दशक अघि, गरे देशमै मर्ने अटोट ।

Dialogue: Shed for Menstruation

 Clean Sheds during Menstruation: 
While walking through the villages to villages in Dailekh, I met Kamala (name changed), married, adolescent girl. She smiled and pointed the shed and shared, 'my sister in law and myself started to use my maternal shed during menstruation because shed of maternal house is clean than here'.  Kamala's father was at home, he bit furious and said, our shed is extremely clean so why should you worry. Another, newly elected leader from Nepali Congress also worked as Dhami claimed that he is not asking women to stay in cowshed or women are living in clean shed. Just before them, the leader from CPN Maoist shouted that Dailekh has not Chhaupadi anymore. It has already abolished by them during war time. The NGOs and government were making fake reports, he added. The leader from UML also claimed that Dailekh has not have problem as far west Nepal, all are living in clean sheds. In other hand, school going children and women account that girls and women staying the outside of home during Pakha lageko bela (menstruation). It could be separate house or shed or farm or beside of hay or firewood. They use traditional material (ghum) for protecting from rain.

Songs for young child on butterfly

पख पख पुतली,
म रङ भर्दैछु,
तिम्रै पछी पछी,
म गन्तब्य भर्दैछु।

के हुन्छ होला Satirical for political turmoil in Nepal

के हुन्छ होला,
तिमी र म फेरी,
भाडा कुटी लिएर
आपको गाछी मुनी जान पाये ।
