In recent weeks, Nepal lost three highly accomplished Nepalis.
1) Lain Singh Bangdel (artist and writer)
2) Rishi Kesh Shah (scholar-statesman),
and
Naya Raj Pant (Sanskrit scholar/historian).
Each of the above blazed the trail in his own domain,
inspired many,
made enemies and ultimately showed us all --through their life's work -- that with imagination, hardwork, persistence and dedication, much is possible in Nepal, and
much is also not possible in Nepal.
Today's (Saturday's) Kantipur daily's Koseli supplement carries a tribute paid to late Pant by his sons -- Mahesh Raj and Dinesh Raj.
With characteristic honesty, the Pant brothers call their own father "unsucessful" and
then give thought-provoking reasons why.
As someone tired of reading too many sugary obituaries (that hint at insincerity) in Nepali newspapers, I found it refreshing t read Pant brothers's short assessment of their own father's life.
Check out today's Kantipur.

AshuJi,
Dhanyabad for bringing out those maha guru's names in this thread....
Lain Singh Bangdel, Rishi Kesh Shah and Naya Raj Pant haru ta nepal ka siromani haru nai hun ni aafno aafno chetra ma.
I feel luckey to spend some time with Naya Raj Pant. I was involved in one project with him. That was the one of the best learning experience in my life.
I just want to share this sloka that he want me to remember always....and I still do...
Nindantu nitinipunaa: yedi yaa stubantu,
Laxmi: sama bisatu gachatu yaa yathesthatu,
addeiya wa marana mastu yugantare waa,
Nyayayaat prabichalanti padanam dhiraa.
( NEPALI ANUBAD)
Niti maa nipun manish lok le jati ninda gare pani jati prasmsaa garepani, Laxmi aaye pani aafno ichcha anusaar gaye pani, aaja nai mrityu hune bhayepani wa yug yug samma banche pani, dharmashali manish le kahilye pani nyaya ko bato bata aafno kadam hataaundina.
