Dear Sajhabasi, I am extermely upset by this news that my hajurbua, Kabi Bharat Raj Panta is no more. I missed him badly. He sent me a hand-written letter and his books which make me feel he is around. I am in school and working on-campus. I am not able to go campus. Moreover, I want to go back Nepal. Any suggestions?
