ViV, Links for interesting lekhs by two Gurus, Sitaula and Subedi, you have posted here. Thanks. Mohan ji's write-up is too general, perhaps more than the writer's disclaimer intended to make it acceptable, in my humble opinion. Abhi Subedi might say the same thing about Mohan ji's lekh what he said about Chaitanya. However, I do hope the upcoming part will be more specific and focused. I look forward to reading that part. Abhi's is very interesting and as always analytical and enlightening. Got introduced with interesting concepts like 'Defamiliarization' and 'exoticization'. Nepalis writing in English (not necessarily the language) and translating it back to Nepali is seen as a process of exoticization. I am not sure that is what it really is, though. I mean the exoticization might have happened, if it is there indeed, before it is reverse translated. Abhi mentions about a bizarre book from Panchayat kal that Sajha Prakashan is selling now (I hope I did understand correctly). He does not mention the name of the book, however. Anybody knows about the book ? At one point, Abhi mentions about 'Nepal Parichaya' type of writing during Panchayat. Dr. Ratna Kamal Vaidya had a book on Nepal Parichaya. PCL level ma Nepal Parichaya ko jaanch diyeko samjhanaa aayo. Samsadiya byabastha aphap sidda bhayeko kura barnan garnuhos or something like that. I clearly remember giving a diplomatic answer suggesting that I do not agree with that and still passing the exam !! Talking about Ratna Kamal Vaidya, he is one of those Rajparishad goons ? hailing sakriya rajtantra. Talking about Panchayati goons, Marichman Singh Shrestha is being felicitated next week in Virginia by America Nepal Society. OK, not felicitation. But still could he not be ignored ? Or are there some really hopeful of being enlightened by Marich Man about how to resolve the conflict in Nepal ? I will be waiting to read that report in the Nepali Post.
