lau, lau. mero naam pardheko chhaina ta? but i am, in fact, not from palpa. no, i am american. but i was a resident of palpa for over 2 years as a peace corps volunteer. i lived in gabutung, chirtungdhara vdc. it's about 1 hour east of tansen on the way to arya bhanjhyang. there is one sajhaite, swaati thapa, whose father is from palpa. eh, swaati! kataa gayo ni? hajur ko baba laai bolaunus ta!
