From huts to Gwalior palaces

Kishore is living in the story of Nepal - his time and his mother's age-old subtle society.

Kishore made a good name as a journalist, storyteller and essayist. His pen has written from the works of cinematographers, the thoughts of writers to the politics of Parliament and the streets. While writing other people's stories and sorrows, sometimes one suddenly remembers one's own mother's story and feels that now they are all ancient, like Greek stories. The life story of his mother is like a fairy tale in itself. At the gate of mother's time, made up of some straight and some jagged lines, the teenager enters the huge gate of the palace of Gwalior, abandoned by the British company decades ago. However, he did not write a sentimental poem on his mother Divyavati, who died in 2037 at the age of 57 in Banaras.

Divyavati was once the confidante of Gwalior-Rajmata. Vijayaraje Scindia, the queen mother of the Scindia royal family of Gwalior came to Nepal at the invitation of King Mahendra. Gwalior Maharaj Jivaji Rao Scindia had passed away. Although the Indian government removed him from the status of Maharaja, he was not removed from that dignity. Rumors were widespread in Kathmandu that Mahendra was willing to marry Prince Virendra to Vijayaraje's daughter. Vijayaraje was present as a guest at the present Sheetal Niwas (the palace was then a royal guest house). Vijayaraje called Divyavati to meet her. After the death of her husband, the mother of the teenager was present in the palace like Himadhar about Barkhi. Following his mother's shadow, he reached the palace - the boy Kishore. He says, "I saw the dignity and splendor of the palace there for the first time."

Vijayaraje told Divyavati after a long conversation, 'You are my old friend, my confidant. Come to Gwalior, be my helper! Bring your son too, I will send him to a good school.' Divyavati just said 'Has Sarkar'. The queen handed an envelope to Divyavati, which contained one thousand rupees. She was in a quandary of 'what should we do, what should we do', she sought advice from her grand-aunt (a teenage girl). She could not say 'don't go', but she also did not want to send Kishore to Gwalior. And, the mother did not dare to take it. Abandoned in Kathmandu as a teenager, Divyavati moved to Gwalior in Madhya Pradesh, India and became Vijayaraje's personal assistant throughout her life. That was one such point, where mother-son exactly separated.

Actually, this is the life story of a teenage mother's pursuit of happiness, who spent her life within the palace walls of Gwalior. Who entered the palace alone in the middle of life looking for 'prosperity'.

People also say - 'A mother should not be called great, it should be said only by looking at her actions.' But, in the understanding of a teenager, a mother is such an image, whose personality is the burden of that word, but the emptiness of the mother's life should be accepted. It has been decades since Divyavati left the mundane material existence and reached the 'distant country' that she would never return to. Does the distance with his mother stretch further when he is not there? Kishore says, 'Relationship with mother will never be distant, we will always be infatuated with the body from which we were born. The mother who gave birth to us is great - calm, passionate, compassionate and very sensitive too.'

Like other Nepali mothers, Kishore's mother also lived a very difficult life. It was very difficult to stand tall in Kathmandu. Mr. Tanknath Nepal had gone on an eternal journey from the material light of the world to darkness, who was a Pandit initiated from Banaras.

Tanknath was an astrologer. After returning to Nepal from Banaras, his desire was to work in the palace. However, Gharani Pandits were dominant in the palace. He did not get a job even after pleading - because of the attacks of the Pandits. And along with his wife Divyavati reached the court of Rana Khadgashamsher, a rebel living in Sagar, Madhya Pradesh, India, who had been exiled from Palpa. It was at this time that Divyavati developed a deep friendship with Khadga's daughter-in-law's granddaughter Vijayaraje. Vijayaraje is the daughter of Prince Shamsher (later mother-in-law of Pashupatishamsher).

However, Tanknath's mind was not fixed on Sagar. I didn't even want to visit Jhiltung village in Nuwakot. Returned and settled in Khichhapokhari. The eldest daughter and Miley were born in Sagar, the younger one was born in Khichhapokhari. However, Kishore was born in Jhiltung in 2008. The wish of the father who wanted to be a father to his son was that the son should be born in the ancestral home. So the pregnant Divyavati was taken to Ulinkath and taken to Jhiltung. Kishore 'Telyaha' was born as a child - one son after three daughters. At that time, it was said in the villages and towns - Telyaha destroys the family. However, the birth of a teenager became a big celebration in the family.

Tanknath's elder sister (who Kishore called grand aunt) worked in the court of Singhashamsher, son of Chandrashamsher Maharaj of Thapathali. She was the chief of the Dhai Susares of Singha Mahal, i.e. Adhaini Bajai. After the birth of Kishore, Adhaini Bajai, who was alone, was bought a house in Battisputli by Singh Shamsher "for life after vacation". Tanknath increased the land by adding all the money he had and started living in Battisputli with his sister.

Father Tanknath passed away when Kishore was only 5 years old. Only a very blurry picture of the father is preserved in Kishore's memory.

Tanknath used to go back and forth between India and Nepal. Within a few days of his return home, his father went to 'Mahaprasthan'. Kishore says, 'I remember the last question my father asked me - Bhunte, what is yours?' Farming in Jhiltung made a good living, but life in Kathmandu was very expensive. Divyawati went to Gwalior in search of work to make the unbearable life of Kathmandu easier. He had to do the work in the palace - pick flowers for the queen, sew garlands, perform puja.

Divyavati used to write letters from the palace, she would send them to Kishore, five-ten dollar notes. She used to write, 'Look, your stomach is bad, don't eat it!' Kishore would also reply to the letter, 'It's fine here, mother, Grandmother is also fine.' May you rest in peace, stay well. Grandmother was Kishore's first teacher. She taught him the alphabet and taught him 'Chandi'. Kishore joined Adarsh ​​Vidyashram in Battisputli in 2014. Kishor used to take bath by holding his grandmother's finger. "The eloquence was Kanchan Ubela. I was afraid of water, but Grandmother used to push me into the water. I used to take a bath and come out,' the black and white youth of the city look back to the old days. Kishore-family had 17 bigha land in Nauranga of Bardia. It was hit by land reform. The landlord transferred the land in his name. After Jagga left, Divyavati was devastated. "That also became a reason for my mother to reach Gwalior," Kishore says, "That property earned by my father was never returned. Mother used to get a good package from the palace, but that money was enough to support the family. Divyavati's annual salary was 2400 rupees. In those sad days, teenagers also became hawkers - they used to sell newspapers like 'Swatantra Samachar Dainik', 'Samiksha' etc. I also had a glass of tea at a hotel in Dillibazar. He says, 'No one had given me food on a golden plate.' He reached Gorakhpur with the help of someone and then reached Jhansi alone and Gwalior by train. The memory of the grandeur of that 'Jaivilash Palace' is hung in his brain as a picture frame. The palace had a grand tennis court, a cricket ground, huge fruit gardens... There used to be horse races, and then there would be young women walking around wearing perfume. As for the security arrangements, one could enter the palace only after crossing three gates. Even after the independence of India, the Maharaj of the princely state had great respect there. The palace was really lovely, picturesque and beautiful. Inside the palace was influenced by a blend of British and Mughal architecture – the style of Buckingham Palace. There was a separate museum dedicated to the jewelery of the Scindia dynasty. Kishore was shocked to see that. In his eyes at that time there were palaces of Nepal - Keshar Mahal, Singh Durbar and Singh Mahal of Thapathali. Kishore spent 15 days in Jaivilash Palace and returned to Kathmandu.

There was a library of the Nepal-India Cultural Center in Dillibazar Ohralo, the president was - Krishna Prasad Rimal (elder brother of poet Gopal Prasad Rimal). Kishore used to go there and regularly read newspapers like 'Sarika', 'Dharmayug', 'Dinman', 'Kadambini', 'Gyanodaya'. At that time Dr. Ram Manohar was impressed by Lohia's ideas and wrote a letter, but Lohia died on the day of receiving the letter. Lohia's father Omprakash Deepak sent that letter to Pradeep Giri. Then Kishore became a follower of Pradeep and joined the democratic movement. "The police were monitoring my activities. That letter was confiscated by the police and I was arrested,' says Kishore. After being in a cold jail many times on the charge of 'unpatriotic elements', the teenager lost contact with his mother. "I went to see my mother shortly after I was released from prison, but she was very angry about the news of my prison trip," says Kishore. The day after reaching Gwalior, Kishore met with Vijayaraje. Divyavati said to Rajmata - 'remind the prodigal son'. "After being reminded by Rajmata, the mother thought that her son would not obey," Kishore says. Kishore told Rajmata, 'I am influenced by Lohia's ideas, I am involved in the democratic movement.' Then the story of that meeting took a different turn.

At that time, Kishore was also involved in journalism - I used to work in Nepal Times and other daily newspapers. Interests were – writing, reading and journalism.

After listening to me, Rajmata laughed. She was a famous politician and founder of Bharatiya Jana Sangh. Those words of Rajmata still ring in my ears,'' Kishore remembers. After listening to Kishore, Vijayaraje said to Divyavati, 'Panditani, your intelligence has gone bad! In the future it will become a big man. Son is not in the wrong line, you do not understand such big things. Peer Naman.'

The queen handed over 1,000 varus to the boy's hand as travel expenses. After that, the mother was happy, her worries disappeared. Maybe I thought - my son's life will go well. That day, I received an abhayadan from my mother,” says Kishore. Kishore's journalistic graph continued to grow. Started working in 'Dinman', 'Times of India' when he was 16/17 years old. Raghuveer Sahay, editor of Dinman, appointed him Nepal correspondent. He went to see his mother again, told Rajmata, "I have become the Nepal correspondent of Times of India and Dinan." Rajmata was very shocked, mother was even more shocked! • •

Divyavati's life cycle continued in its own style - exchanging letters and meetings with Kishore. Suddenly, one day, the teenager got the news that his mother had cancer. "The doctor spoke pessimistically, said - mother has second stage cancer," Kishore remembers, "Rajmata said - the situation is complicated, if it was first stage, they would have sent her to UK for treatment." For the next three months, Kishore and mother continued to visit the hospital.

Rajmata said to Kishore, 'Take mother home once. Keep it as long as you want to stay, bring it here again. Take me wherever you want to go, I will manage the expenses. Divyavati returned to Kathmandu, after some time she said - I will go to Banaras, Shivratri is coming, I will also visit Vishwanath Baba. Shivratri fell on the third day after Divyavati was taken to Dharamshala at Scindia Ghat in Banaras. His knees were cold since morning. Divyavati breathed her last in Kishore's arms in the middle of the night after many attempts to warm her up. And, in the curves of life, she immersed all her sorrows.

Kishore returned to Kathmandu after spending 13 days at Manikarnika Ghat in Banaras. Divyavati was religious - worshiped Dattatraya, Moon and Jupiter. She worshiped the moon all her life saying that her son's stomach should not hurt. Divyavati bravely fights with the landlord to get her rights, passing the family boat amid the effects of stress. She reached all the shrines of Hindustan. She went to Britain with the queen mother. Kishore claims - "No one in my family has taken as many airplanes and trains as my mother."

Kishore's mother's life was more ups and downs than that of the average Nepalese woman. She saw the bliss from the hut to the palace up close. Vijayaraje was jailed by Indira Gandhi, during that crisis she stayed in Tihar Jail with Rajmata - to take care.

Divyavati was meditating and reciting hymns. The mother 'King', 'King,' dwelling, 'Mahapai's Slight.' Strong in the evening Hindi's Hindi Psalms of Byhdshandavh corded evening. Adolescents like a mother was called mother and the boy should support a tradition! The worship of the tribe worship, was memorized by the post-scale his acife. She was on the rise of the unachased, absorbed. Krishna said that she said to Arjuna's भिता, calling the teenagers - 'I will turn off what you on earth. Darie, you will get salvation. '& NBSP;
