Surya,
It's a combination of private investments, sales, and maybe a grant or two.
*****
In Nepal, it seems that those who call themselves artists know nothing about management; and those who are into management know nothing about the arts.
Hence, our artists are materially poor.
And our managers are emotionally poor.
Gross generalizations, I agree.
But hey, today is the last Friday of the year 2059.
A very Happy New Year to you all.
Sabai ko falos fulos, ramro hos.
