Pathmanathan ‘Sopa’ TELUGU Rohith URDU Aqsa Ijaz Matt Reeck Sophia Naz Musharraf Ali Farooqi 4 CITY 6: 2018 Editorial Notes A mountain in flames framed by the darkness of night is a sight at once terrifying and beautiful. Seared in memory it burns on forever behind curtains of shut eyelids. Fleeing just such a massive wildfire that consumed vast swathes of California this past October, I had no way of knowing that this would be last time I would see my home. Two weeks later I returned to a pile of burnt rubble. Losing your earthly possessions to a catastrophe is a profound- ly life altering experience. Far more than valuables or heirlooms it was the irreplaceable loss of my creative output, handwritten poetry journals, artworks, photographs and musical instruments that felt like a body blow. Yet mixed in with all the sorrow was an oddly liberating sensation of lightness, such as a renunciate would feel. Possessions bring pleasure but are also encumbrances that tie you down. Immediately following the fire I was seized by a desire to walk out of my life altogether and embrace the existence of a wan- derer. To those of us for whom a life of wandering is not a practical option, literature offers a satisfying escape. Along with original and translated writing from all over South Asia, City 6 has a special fo- cus on Nepal, a country that has seen horrific devastation and loss of life in the earthquake of 2015. Yet, as I can personally attest, the experience of loss is a powerful vehicle for creativity, just as the mu- sic of wind chimes is made resonant by the very hollows they en- close. I first visited Nepal in 1996 while working a documentary on icons and living traditions of feminine power in Buddhist tantra. Like many travelers before me I was immediately smitten by the convivial coexistence of the past and present. On the steps of the ancient temples in Durbar square women in scarlet saris sold their greens largely unmindful of the tourist lens. Forbidden to all such lenses a pre-pubescent girl was still worshipped as a living goddess and anointed yearly in a ceremonial procession by as-yet-un- murdered king. Twenty-one years later, in place of the living god- 5 CITY 6: 2018 dess there is a statue and at the site of the royal massacre a museum. The past is still there but is fading to a somewhat blurry back- ground. What has come into focus, however, is the tremendous en- ergy and enthusiasm of young Nepalis for the arts, especially poet- ry. The membership of groups like Spoken Word Nepal and Word Warriors consists overwhelmingly of people under thirty, many are in their teens. Corrupt officials and women’s struggles in a male dominated world are some the ruptures highlighted by the frictions of the irrepressible new rubbing up against the intransigent old. The literature of Nepal today is reflective of these seismic shifts in both the literary and literal landscapes. — Sophia Naz City 5 was published in July last year with an intention to be fol- lowed on by the next anthology three months later. Several logistic hurdles prevented it from happening. Now, after the delay of about a year, city 6 is being issued with an arrangement with Zameen, New Delhi. It is hoped that now its reach to subscribers and bookstore counters would be smoother than has been the case with the previous anthology. For a small-scale private initiative – com- mitted not to seek institutional or corporate support – it is necessary to find this access. It is hoped that city will receive the vital support from its readers and contributors that it needs – and deserves – in order to survive and create a common platform for practition-ers of creative literature from all across South Asia – and beyond. — Ajmal Kamal 6 CITY 6: 2018 Contents 1 Stories Prabhath Jayasinghe 13 Hockey without Sticks Umer Ishmael 32 Fatima’s Man 34 Funeral for a Dog Shruti Sareen 39 Difficult Conversations Ajay Navaria 47 Honour Kimaya Kulkarni 70 Ajji Mirza Athar Baig 75 A Wall Theatre Rafiqur Rashid 84 Bird Thou Never Were Surinder Neer 96 Lavaase Syed Muhammad Ashraf 110 Rogue Eric Illayapparachchi 125 Kafka and the Father Mohammad Abbas 131 Hesitation 2 Poems Afzal Ahmed Syed 141 Our National Tree 141 Only Unnoteworthy Poets 142 Viewers’ Choice 143 Lenin Before Fahmida Riaz 7 CITY 6: 2018 145 A Picture on Page 163 147 A Dog’s Death 147 A Poet at the Gems Exhibit Kunwar Narain 149 City and Man 149 Bazaar Anarkali, Lahore 150 The Decay of Vijaynagar Kuzhur Wilson 151 Thintharoo 155 Map 155 On the 9th 158 Hodie Mihi Cras Tibi Antappan 159 4:35 pm Goirick Brahmachari 162 A song for Derek 163 Where we were 163 Sly Mangalesh Dabral 164 Our gods 165 Non-eternal 166 Nicotine 167 Father’s Glasses Nabina Das 169 The Call 170 Body Perennial 171 Living with(in) a forest 172 Love and Ruse Sharmila Seyyid 173 First Lust 174 The winged woman 176 Fallen in the Field Ra Sh 179 A biblio surgeon’s work book Rohith 181 Zhuangzi as Lover 8 CITY 6: 2018 181 Last Days of Spring 182 My Grandfather’s Dream of Dying 183 Text Farha Noor 184 Evening Walk Anar 186 My sister’s laughter was like a bird in flight 187 A few additional blood-notes 188 Earthworm’s Night 189 Swing Ananya Chatterjee 191 Playthings 192 Cleanliness is next to Loneliness 192 Nalanda and Takshashila 193 Hunger 193 Of Noise and Stillness Padma Babu 195 Translation Amit Shankar Saha 196 Forgetting the Rains 196 How to Kill a Tree S Kalesh 199 The Sea of Sounds Meherin Roshanara 202 Arabian Nights Dona Mayoora 203 Life, post reading Roshni Swapna 205 The House of the Dead Stalina 207 A female spring Siva Sagar 209 Wait for me Mohammad Ismail 212 Dear Syamala Rao Shahmeneh Majid 214 Red Lipstick Vijila Chirappadu 216 The publication of Womanly deeds 9 CITY 6: 2018 Uttaran Das Gupta 218 The Belarusian National Ensemble 218 Fish Curry on Sunday 219 Whiplash 3 Focus: New Writing from Nepal Poems Abhi Subedi 220 Evening 220 Rebels 223 Soft storm Suman Pokhrel 227 My Search of You Mukunda Prayas 229 The Bamboo Seema Aavas 230 While Getting Chased Krishna Bhooshan Bal 231 As Night Descends to the City Arjun Dhungana 233 An Encounter Dinesh Adhikari 234 Life Swirls Whirlingly Haribhakta Katuwal 236 Wish Ishwar Ballav 237 Arrangements for Departure Tanka Upreti 238 Fingerprints Stories Nayan Raj Pandey 239 Country Rajendra Prajuli 243 The Pink Suit Manorama Mathai Moss 249 A Girl’s Story Rashmi Sheila 257 Leila: The Darkness 10 CITY 6: 2018 Manju Kanchuli 263 Nausea Neda Haffari 271 Night Life Roshan Thapa Nirab 275 Single Kishore Pahadi 276 What was It that Bholaman gave me? 286 Notes on Contributors 11 CITY 6: 2018 12 CITY 6: 2018 PRABHATH JAYASINGHE Translated from Sinhala by Dinuka Wijetunga Hockey without Sticks Woke up from a long sleep. A familiar song, intertwined in a few bars of music, was soaking into me. It is the overwhelming warmth of that song that woke me up. But the whole body is terribly feeble. Feels kind of numb. Tried stretching my limbs a little to get rid of the numbness, but even that doesn’t seem to be possible. They keep knocking on some kind of roof overhead and something like walls surrounding the bed. To be precise, it’s as if I’m sleeping in a box. Suddenly my hand knocks on something. It has been laid close to me, parallel to my body. The hockey stick. I remembered that it’s mine. Good heavens. When is the next match? Why the hell don’t I remember anything? What is that song? Familiar, yet, eludes me.

  • I. Introduction Writer Parijat, the Nepali Name for a Species of Jasmine With
    I. Introduction Writer Parijat, the Nepali name for a species of jasmine with a special religious significance, is the pen name adopted by Bishnu Kumari Waiba, a Tamang woman who was born in the Tea-Estate of Darjeeling in 1937 A.D. She was the daughter of Kalu Sing Waiba and Amrita Moktan. She has been hailed by her contemporaries as one of the most innovative and first modern novelist of Nepal. The themes and philosophical outlook of her poems, novels and stories are influenced by her Marxist and feminist views and her own personal circumstances. Parijat suffered from a partial paralysis since her youth and ventured from her home only rarely during the past twenty years. She was unmarried and childless, a status that was not usual for a woman in Nepalese society and that is due partly to her illness and partly, it seems due to personal preference. Despite her disability, Parijat is a formidable force in Nepali literature, and her flower-filled room in a house near Balaju has become a kind of shrine for progressive Nepali writers. Parijat is a beautiful, intense-looking woman. She is concerned with a Nepali tribal group of antiquity but of uncertain origin. She is a Buddhist by birth and her childhood was deeply unhappy. According to Lama Religion, she was named Chheku Lama. Her mother died while Parijat was still young, and an elder brother drowned shortly afterward. At the age of about thirteen, it seems that she became passionately involved in a love affair that ended in heartbreak and a period of intense depression.

All of your accepted / unaccepted self-reflections shall become collages on the canvas of the history assimilated in this anthology. Dear Feelers! Wherever and whenever questions evolve, the existential consciousness of man keeps exploring the horizon of possibilities for the right answer even without the ultimate support to fall back upon. Existential revelations clearly dwell on the borderline, though it might be in a clash. In the present contexts, at places, questions of Nepali identity, modernity, representativeness, poetic quality, mainstream or periphery, temporal boundaries and limitations of number evolve – wanted or unwanted. Amidst the multitude of these questions, Dancing Soul of Mount Everest has assumed this accomplished form in its attempt to pervade the entirety as far as possible.

I focus on particular instances of border crossing in each chapter, beginning with the exile of deposed sovereigns of small states that spanned the interface of the lower Himalayan foothills and Gangetic plains in the late eighteenth century. The flight of exiled sovereigns and the varied terms of their resettlement around the border region—a process spread over several decades—proved as significant in defining the new borderland between the East India Company and Nepal as the treaty penned after the Anglo-Nepal War of 1814 to 1816. Subsequent chapters consider cross-border movements of bandits, shifting cultivators, soldiers, gendered subjects, laborers, and, later, a developing professional class who became early Nepali nationalist spokesmen. Given that the India-Nepal border remained open without a significant military presence throughout the colonial and even into the contemporary period, I argue that ordinary people engaged with and shaped forms of political belonging and subject status through the always present option of mobility.
