Friday in Bharatpur: Okay, we arrived at Bharatpur and as per the kind suggestion of our driver we went to a Buddha Air sales office to inquire about the flights to Kathmandu. To our surprise, staffs at the office were waiting for the arrival of the flight. One of them even said that two tickets…

Thursday: Kumar was restless. Charlie wouldn’t move from the room before filing a report about latest development in Kathmandu to his London office. He was busy with his PDA and cell phone that was still working as he was out of Kathmandu. Mine was working too. All mobile phones in Kathmandu Valley were cut off…

Wednesday: We waited for something the whole day of Wednesday. We also talked to couple of people on the streets of Itahari. Later in the evening I met a journalist friend from Dharan with whom I was in contact for the last several months. By the way, folks couldn’t stop themselves expressing amazement of how…

I desperately wanted to avoid walking for about an hour to reach office because I wasn’t feeling well. I mean I was recovering from Pilo. So, I…

Ah..feeling so tired. Today was a tough day. Yesterday was similar. As I was recovering from the pilo, events dragged me in full swing. To live in Nepal these days means you will experience all the fascinating developments personally. From very near. Live in real life. The Nagarkot Massacre case as a shocking surprise as…

(pic will be reposted.) Sarah Giri, the wife of Dr. Tulsi Giri, is in a mission. Pic by D Wagle. In the beginning, I though I was talking to a diplomat. That was the impression I gathered while talking in telephone. Sarah Giri has all traits that a diplomat needs to have. When you talk…
