He is not very good with his reporting but not terrible too. After all Journalism is his " Maagi khane bhando". There was once caption in a newspaper that " Behind (literally) every great person there is Rishi Dhamala".

To scrutnize his grades is a proper BS. His achievements are larger-than-life for many journalist and him too. He deserves the accolade for setting Reporter's Club, which has been the platform when streets have been full of protests or at times when the streets have been no-protest-zone.

Who-is-who of the Nepali Politics and the Envoys to Nepal have cozied themselves up in the club. The action and reaction would resound through the most Main Stream Media (and it still does). Then his name would invariably come. After all he presides over the most discussion. Needless to say, a throne makes a  PERSON without any royal traits, a king. Arguments can be machined and digressed to trivia. He seemingly loves to see himself near to other 'great' people but I don't see him as a narcissist. Have we at times googled ourselves?

Let's applaud him for what he has done and not criticize him for what is not up to?
