Tomorrow I am going Kathmandu and is very
excited to meet my dear son,, his cheerful face is hovering all around me,, I
think I can’t sleep today,, Human beings are the most discontent creature in
the world,, they want something and if that something is fulfilled they want
another thing,,, we don’t enjoy that something and start to long for another
thing,, in this process we never become happy,,,sometimes I hate that I am a
human being,,,
My bags are packed with 8 kilos of oranges

in love with a princess of Meluha. He saves her life and her kingdom. The story
is weaved in such a way that reader can’t stop the flow of reading,,,it’s full
of drama and seems like watching a Bollywood movie but reading is always enjoyable
than watching,,,
Baalyakaalkaa Padchaap is a
childhood nostalgic essay of famous writer Khagendra Sangraula. The strong
presentation of small incident of rural life of himself glue reader to this
book,,, At some point the writer makes reader to laugh out loud and at some
point it makes reader to think deep on the social stigma of rural Nepali
life,,,It is the writer’s skill that a simple life can make great story if
presented well,,,
Damini Bhir is a madan prize winner
novel in which the writer Rajan Mukarung has presented typical village life
during the people’s war and post people’s war. The characters revolve around
the political situation during that time. It slightly touches the indigenous
people’s situation, issue and problems,, , It has a distinct language while
presenting the story.
Khalanga Maa Hamalaa is an
autobiography of a nurse who leaves an urban job and goes to work in remote
part of Nepal ie Jumla District. The book describes the Maoist attack at
Khalanga Bazar- the capital of Jumla,,,it is also the novel prize winner for
this year and it is really inspiring that a women provides health service to
people of remote place selflessly.
Nothing To Declare is a collection
of short stories written by Rabi Thapa. The stories are around Nepali
characters,,, mostly it is a male perspective about society, ,,,the nepali
society is presented very well,,,
Tilled Earth is written by Manjushree
Thapa and is the collection of short stories. Stories are weaved around Nepali
characters who live abroad and in Nepal. Different characters represent
different life of Nepali ,,, some represent modern life ,, some typical rural
life

Book update
I read ‘Sansar Lai Sandhe Panch Phanko’ by
Pushkar Shah few months back but after the earthquake I was busy in relief
distribution, and couldn’t think of anything else,,, after finishing the first
phase of distribution I started reading ‘Aadha Jun’ by Jhalak Subedi. ‘Sansar
Lai Sandhe Panch Phanko was a travel diary of a man who travelled the world on
bicycle. It gives a view of world through a broke traveler and Aadha Jun is all
about a young boy Sanjay who fights against Panchayat system to bring
democracy.
Today is Nepal Bandha ,,,,, the draft
constitution couldn’t represent voice of vulnerable people so people are
against it. The aftershock is still there and a big one last night at Charikot.
The oldest bridge of Charunge was washed away this month; the landslides are
not stopping in the villages. The people are losing their attitude by the
relief,,,they are becoming greedy, stubborn day by day,,, complaining,,shouting,,,
angry,,,lazy,,,
