CHOMOLUNGMA: the Mother Goddess of the Earth (Satis Shroff)

Chomolungma: the Mother Goddess of the Earth (Satis Shroff) The highest peak on earth is Mt. Everest but to the Nepalese living below the Himalayas it has always been Sagarmatha, and to the Sherpas the mountain was always Chomolungma, the Mother Goddess of the Earth. The Sherpas are born at altitudes of 3000m and above, and you can find them around the Solokhumbu area, and they are acclimatized to high altitudes and are recognized for their climbing prowess. In 1953 Tenzing Norgay became the first Sherpa to climb Sagarmatha (Mt. Everest) with Edmund Hillary, and since then the experienced Sherpas bear the title Tigers of the Snow. The Sherpas settled in the Khumbu area circa 300 years ago after a long journey from Tibet (China). The Sherpas were traders before they became famous as porters and mountain guides.

THE NAKED HILLS (Satis Shroff)

THE NAKED HILLS (Satis Shroff) A young Nepalese woman Sits in front of her parents’ thatched home In the Middle Hills of Nepal. Her two hands caress her shoulders. It’s cold in the hills of Nepal, Where the hills are naked And its sons have left In search of better pastures, For the hills are barren.

The mothers seek and pluck Brennessel, And call it sisnu, To make a soup In the frugal hills of Nepal. In Maghey Sankrati we eat Stems and roots, Tarul and sweet-potatoes. There’s no wheat, maize, rice or mustard In these naked hills. Everything has become bitter. What remains is love and attachment. A Nepalese bird still sings: Kafal pakyo. Kafal pakyo. The berry’s ripe Glossary: Brennessel (Ger.): sisnu (Nepali), stinging nettle Maghey Sankrati: festival in Nepal pic courtesy:...

YOUR HAPPINESS (Satis Shroff)

YOUR HAPPINESS (Satis Shroff) Subtitle: The Eternal Seeker You scrutinise yourself In front of the mirror, Want to remain young and beautiful, Clutch your share Of love and happiness. Deluding yourself, Tai-chi or yoga would be preferable, You have eyes Only for younger night creatures As you look ‘em up In their nocturnal haunts. Can’t get rid of This nagging and gnawing cancer Called anxiety. Ah, anxiety The cause of premature ageing. Sleepless nights, Insomnia. A younger partner and viagra, Is the road to distress. Your psyche, Your looks might improve fleetingly. The aerobics, facials, Ginseng, anti-wrinkle creams, The bio-diets won’t get you there. Your platysma betrays your age, The folds of blubber above fifty, Under your belly too. Pretence in front of the mirror, With dimmed lights, In front of others, Proves you’re still vain. Ah, younger blood, Vampiric connotations, Can’t give you the elixi...
