Majestic Mardi Himal
Being on a majestic mountain, away from the hustle and bustle, can indeed be an amazing experience. Travelling to the beautiful mountain range stands out as one of the best experiences of my life. It happened exactly six months ago when I was tired of scrolling through social media and observing others wander in nature, especially the stunning mountains within our own country. I decided to experience it firsthand. So, my brothers and I packed our bags for a trek on one of Nepal's renowned routes, the Mardi Himal Trek. Th
Strategies For Economic Stability
Nepal, a small landlocked country in South Asia, is currently grappling with economic challenges. The Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of Nepal is in a precarious position, with both possibilities and difficulties before it. The 2015 earthquakes and the COVID-19 outbreak have revealed the vulnerability of Nepal's economy to external shocks, causing significant devastation. These crises have thrown off the country's economic trajectory and daily life, highlighting the essential need for resilience and adaptation against adversity. The inefficient expenditure also arises from the
Neom: Futuristic Green Saudi City
Neom is perhaps the belle époque of an era destined to usher in the coming decades. It will be apt to decline such a vision of the future when the world dismantles its toxic paraphilia and adopts a sustainable and innovative alternative destination, a futuristic home for the people. Neom is the amalgamation of two words: the first three letters are from the ancient Greek prefix meaning 'new', whereas the fourth letter is the abbreviation of Mostaqbal, an Arabic word meaning 'future'. C'est qua Neom! Prêt à tout savior? Mais 95%
Mysterious Bagheni
While going through the story collection, Bagheni, written by Indira Prasai, I felt myself as an immature and innocent reader at the beginning. There are thirteen stories with different themes. Despite including multiple contexts and numerous experiences of characters in the story collection, the story centres on Bagheni. I tried to understand the genius way of presenting deep-rooted stories of Nepali society through characters. At this point, I found a depiction of very ancient practices in the present social context. Finally, the message is demanding and comprehensive for readers, focusing on practical aspects of human behavior. The storytelling method of the writer is unique. She is creating characters within characters, along with finding and exploring the author inside the author. She is very clever in conveying the message artistically that the author herself is pla
Dissent voices, explosive poems
Here is a poet who dissents on virtually everything, save for the concept of mother. In an attempt to convey his perspectives on the existence of the self, individuals, and society through various fragments, he articulates fervour in his poems. It is not necessary to have conceptual coherence and chronological presentation in poetic expressions. Since poetry is born through the articulation of the spontaneous overflow of emotions, there is less time to stick to the rules of the craft. Since Gopal Prasad Rimal introduced prose poetry in Nepali literature in 1962 through his timeless creation of 'Aamako Sapana' and Bhupi Sherchan elevated it to a new height with his '
