OneWhoCanDie; I do not call myself the master of Nepalese poetry but as an avid reader of Nepali literature, I can tell where you fit. Why read history? Cause you want to make a history. Unless you have mastered the writing styles of your predecessors, you cannot come up with your own style. You do not have your own unique style of writing means you are no body. Ask anyone who has done writing in that capacity. Why read history? Cause you do not want to write like Bhanubhakta now. Bhakti Ras of Bhanu Bhakta, Prem Ras of Moti Ram, Gaddhya Kabita of Rimal, Abstract poetry of Koirala, they represent an epoch of Nepali poetry. You want to fit to your time at least. Bal Awara? I do not know which Awara is this but did not exist until 2050. As far as Gazal goes, we have very good Gazal teachers here in Sajha. If you keep coming here definitely, you will master the rules of Gazals. Writing Gazal itself? I do not know. Often time it is inherent, no matter how much you try you can not master. I hope one of our Gazal teachers will carry on from here. Here is a Ser for you ?? म मृत्युशैयामा थिएँ मृत्यु कुर्दै र डाक्टरी वयान आयो कटारी थिएन कटाक्ष रैछ मुटु छेंड्ने अनि बल्ल ज्यान आयो
