  • Monument to the Unknown Woman Worker/ अज्ञात महिला श्रमिक स्मारक

    अज्ञात महिला श्रमिक स्मारक Monument to the Unknown Woman Worker हालैका महिनाहरूमा देखेका मूर्तिहरूमध्ये मेरो ध्यान सबैभन्दा बढी खिच्नेमा बेल्फास्टका यी दुई बहिनी पनि परे जसलाई ‘अ मोनुमेन्ट टु द…


  • Bajrabarahi and Chitlang Valleys [बज्रवाराही र चित्लाङ]

      हालै मैले काठमान्डू उपत्यकाभन्दा पश्चिमको क्षेत्रका केही भागको यात्रा गरेँ । सहर छाडेर म ककनीबाट बाहिर निस्केको थिएँ, नुवाकोटको बट्टारमा रात विताउन । त्यसपछि म टिस्टुङ देउराली हुँदै मकवानपुर…

  • चन्दनपुर गाउँ [Chandanpur Village]

    मैले अाफू घुम्न अाएको भन्दा सुन्नेले पत्याउन सजिलो थिएन । त्यो अनकन्टार गाउँमा काम नपरी वा कतैबाट सरूवामा नपरी किन पुग्ने । कुरा ठिकै हो । धेरै ठाउँमा त्यसरी नपत्याइएको…


  • Bhatte Danda
