Delhi-return (Revised)

"This collection of stories shows the spirit and human frailty of many Nepalis in the search for security, love and meaning in life. This remarkably honest assessment of life in Nepal and some of the places Nepalis seek education and employment. Some stories are humorous, some are sad, still others have a deep darkness hanging over the characters. But each introduces characters whose foibles and desires give real insight into the everyday lives of Nepalis, at home and the world. Nepal as it is!"
Melody Smith.

Migrating to a city to make a living doesn't work for every one. Some people like Lachchi are rather firmly rooted in their villages. Having returned from Delhi without making a start, he tries to eke out a living in his village. It brings out his colorful character, which might have not survived the brutality of a city. The story of a German woman, who tries to find a solace in Nepalese festivals, which are nearly as violent as life, poignantly looks deeper in the way people deal with their conditions.
