The Best I Have Heard…So Far
Coined by a good friend of mine, Hornmandu as another label for the city of Kathmandu is quite apt. Here's why!
The Good, The Bad, and The Untouchables
We have two untouchables in Nepal: the ones most others don't want to touch and the ones most others can't touch! A lone man of conviction and principle is trying a group who fall in the latter camp putting his life on the line!
No Can Do In Kath Man Du
In Nepal, it seems, some rights -- even when it infringes on the rights of others -- can be asserted especially when you can back it up with violence!
