Number of Prizes more than number of Kavi? Within a couple of years, there will be no Kavi left. I had never seen such a long list of Prizes. You will see the same winners in the coming year's list. Today's Mechi Zone winner might become Gandaki Zone's winner tomorrow..... I am not criticizing these prize winners, nor their work, but simply the number of prizes is so much that it hardly makes a worthy note/recognition. How many readers will read each winner's name? It is like a local volleyball game competition, and everyone wins a prize: pressure cooker to tapke. Have fun: Gandaki Zone award:Kshetra Pratap Adhikari: Yuddhaka Chhyaharu (shadows of war) Mechi Zone award to Yuvaraj Nayaghare: Anam Pahadma Phanphani Laxman Satyal-Bagmati Zone Book award: Shree Om Shrestha Rodan for Nabirsane Dinharu (unforgettable days) Timsina Memorial Book award for First Publication to Dr. Deepak Khadka for Chyatna Nasakeko Chithi (letter that could not be torn): Is he the same Nepe at Sajha.com?
