Ohh, when was he discharged from hospital. Just few days ago, he was a News-topic after getting hurt in fire and was visited by Mukharjee, the outgoing indian ambassador and some other high profile leaders. I was talking with a few friends of mine, how this guy could make ambassadors, and high profile leaders visit to his cabin in hospital?

See other journalists, who have won big prizes, done excellent reportings, have excellent journalism records but they go unnoticed if they are in trouble. But this smarty Dhamala is different. As a journalist, he rarely publish reports written by himself, he rarely takes interview or host live programs, he rarely analyse events, he does not write columns, he goes in reporting only if a celebrity leader is on site. But still, he has big name in Nepali journalism.

As a journalist, he does only two things (1) he stays behind a person who is being followed by other scoop hungry journalists such that his face is captured in photographs and videos immediately behind the target, and (2) he invites people to speak in his club. In addition, he must be very active in background for making contacts with a wide array of people brokering information and influencing media editors to chose the picture with his face in the front page.

Anyway, he has earned the status of one of the most influencial persion in nepali journalism.
