Well DC girl I think you also can write if you try. There needs no acchamako brain to write. But to write a good and substantial one, may be,you need to have special brain. But writing is an art like dance. Some dance easily and naturally while takes lots of time without desired results. Like people say its easy to become a doctor but difficult to be a GOOD Doctor. Personally, I adore those who write in chanda because thats more difficult than writing a ghazal. In ghazal, at least you have freedom of expression at least on the first sher. Once you learn to manipulate the words it should not be that difficult to produce a mediocre one. And of course, nepali language is not that rich with the words as URDU certainly handicaps us. The rules make us more disciplined and when you write under these, its more gratifying, I was told. I am still hoovering around the rules and dont know how long will it take ! BUT i tell you, its very very addicting and seems like my behavior is being affected especially when I have something brewing inside and not being able to express, like you said because of the limitations and rules and lack of words. But I wont give up the addiction. I have started reading GHALIB for the formats he used to compose ghazal and this translation for you: unke dekhe se jo aa jaatee hai munh par raunaq woh samajhte haiN ke beemaar ka haal achcha hai उन्लाइ देख्ने बित्तिकै मुखमा चमक आउछ त्यसै त उ सम्झन्छे कि बिरामी भन्नेको हाल ठिक/(राम्रो) छ more later
