By Dinesh Wagle Wagle Street Journal This article appeared in today’s Op-Ed of The Kathmandu Post. Here is PDF of the page Sometimes, I wonder why the official Nepal-India relationship doesn’t become as friendly and earthy as the down-to-earth friendship I enjoy with some Indians here in Delhi.

By Dinesh Wagle In a terrible afternoon last week, as I was walking on a parched street and struggling with the heat wave, I realized something. Heat in Delhi comes as a curfew. Very few people were on the street that would otherwise be packed in normal circumstances. The street, I observed, remained vacated for…

Rajdhani Express 4
Time to sleep again, perhaps last nap before reaching Delhi. I was reading the Grisham book after dinner but the woman in the berth below switched off the light. So I decided to sleep. Bikash Ghalay is also sleeping. I don’t want to sleep. For now blogging via iPhone seems to be the better option.…

Toy Train 6
Now we have entered to the plains, still inside Daejeeling district. I can see ‘Gorkhaland is our birthright’ slogans painted on the walls. Again the Darjeeling chill is nowhere to be experienced here. It’s 16:21 and it might take another 45 mins to reach New Jalpaiguri. I have an 8:30 train from there to Delhi.…
