About Me
← That’s me on the left.
Born, raised and educated schooled in Kathmandu, the safest way I can describe myself is by saying I’m an observer, a listener and a backpacker. Safe descriptions apart, I go by the name Darshan .
William Somerset Maugham once said “We do not write because we want to; We write because we have to.”
I blog for that simple reason. I blog because I have to.
Here are some of my entries which will give you an idea about what exactly I have to say:
Nepali Society
1. What’s Wrong With Us ?
2. State & Rural Development
3. Ethnicity Debate in Nepal
4. Newa Rajya Strike In Pictures
5. Intellectual Poverty
6. Slogans Are Not Solutions
7. Constituent Assembly Polls in Nepal: I Voted Did You?
8. Bangalore, Balram Halwai and the Nepali Identity
Public Bus Rides in Kathmandu
1. Ice-breaker from Dilli
2. Of rides you don’t know of
3. Rush Hour
4. From Nepal Yatayat to comrades
Others
1. Maoist Strike: Thoughts and Afterthoughts
2. Live
3. Thoughtmandu
P.S Sorry, there are no shortcuts to knowing a blogger.
Finally, you have come out of the closet. The ‘who-is-zade?’ myth has been demystified.
Glad to know you दर्शन ।
Wondering, how I could have missed you for that long…
Keep it up.
wonder why you decided to disclose your real name now…(though someone had told me it was you blog a long time ago.)
Came back to this blog after a long time, of all things, through alook at my google web history. I don’t know why, but I had a feeling it was you. Glad to know it is you Darshan di. Awesome writings.
