重游加德满都
四个小时又四十五分钟的高空飞行之后，小小的机舱椭圆形窗外，我再次看见那片如波涛起伏的深山野岭，翠绿的丛林地毡上布满着灰褐色的马路与羊肠小径，仿佛被任性的小孩握着彩笔蹲着随意涂鸦一样，从高空俯视，这些线条显得凌乱又活波。
就在高耸的云层之间，我再次吃力地瞥见纯净的雪山峰腼腆地露出头顶，当我想看得更仔细的时候，它们又沉入云层里。尽管第一次在机舱内遥望雪山峰的震撼已不复存，但我依然以一股浓稠喜悦来重温那种刻骨铭心的感动。尼泊尔应该是全世界最多雪山峰居住的国家，这也是世界各地的游客及爬山客涌入的原因，自己也是被这些魁伟又诡秘的雪山呼唤而来的，恰似一种充满魔幻神力的咒语，一直在召唤着…..。
飞机缓缓下降，翠绿的丛林地毡被肆虐地撕剥掉，摆置上去的是密密麻麻的珍袖房屋盒，那些房子就如色彩斑斓的玩具盒一样，肩对肩地互相紧靠着，排叠出一幅幅稠密得让人看了也会窒息的构图。这就是加满都的容貌，拥挤，凌乱，疯狂，但却恣意地散焕着迷人的魅力。
Revisiting Kathmandu
After a seemingly endless three years, I could glimpse the undulating mountainous terrain around Kathmandu again. From the small oval-shaped window of the plane, I caught the glance of small patches of the snow-capped peaks surfacing timidly above the clouds, then as fleeting as they appeared, the clouds rose and engulfed them entirely.
As the plane gingerly descended, the scene outside the window was packed with matchbox-liked buildings that spread in the expanse of Kathmandu valley, the myriad of colours and plethora of shapes of the houses entwined to weave a painting which its close proximity formation exuded a sense of suffocating urgency, distressing but visually exhilarating!
All these scenes evoke an intimate sense of deja vu deep inside my heart, they are and have been why I keep returning to this country of god, I never get tired or bored of it, and I shall keep returning to her warm embrace again and again.
