Mobile Phone and Kathak Dance
Sunday/Monday: As usual but quite busy. I don’t know how fast time is passing and I haven’t been able to do any significant work. Time is like bullet, travels fast. By the way, I haven’t been able to go for tea with Deepak Adhikari, my colleague at Nepal Magazine, in a nearby teashop. So no…
