In Copenhagen, two Nepali friends face a growing chasm of mistrust, revealing the fragility of relationships.

I enjoyed nature’s symphony while she disappeared into the world of literature, oblivious to everything around her.

I wandered without direction, letting my thoughts drift. Raindrops clung to the leaves, shimmering like tiny jewels.

To most people, I’m just another face in the crowd, someone they recognise only as a stranger—someone they don’t need to forget because they never remember.

Caught between her Nepali roots and Indian identity, Tamang recalls the day when democracy and violence collided.

The rain may have dispersed the crowd, but the stories remained, lingering in the air, shared over coffee and a copy of ‘The Great Gatsby’.

I look around and see a lot of familiar faces. So, this is what an informal college function looks like?

The long-awaited day had come for Ramesh—the opening of a new community library in his village of Lamagaun, a little settlement in the hills of Pokhara.

As the waves touched my feet, rose to my shins, and then retreated into the ocean, I was reminded of a time several years ago.

When Aarohi emerged from her shell and wrote a story about a monkey, she wasn’t just a storyteller; she was a conqueror of her doubts and fears.

The doors open in a blur and a pair of strong hands pull me inside. A big man pulls a black cloth bag on my head and then punches me.

Nita, a so-called good girl, was my parents’ favourite. They often compared us but I didn’t like her.

Every time people pose a question concerning my career, my mind swirls and I dip into the abyss of cynicism.
