Nothing fancy . . . just an attempt to provide the SAME platform for these Web links (assuming, of course, these might be of interest to visitors of this blog).

I am NOT a journalist either by training or by profession.

Just happen to be a curious person.

And I ENJOY -- really enjoy -- writing . . . from time to time, about ideas, people, places and events that I come across and find interesting enough to
be SHARED with others who might like similar stuff.

Tetti ho.

7. Given my formal and informal association with it, people often ask me about Martin Chautari (MC) -- the ultimate place for no-holds-barred Socratic dialogue in Kathmandu on contemporary issues. I have learnt a lot by going to MC discussions and by interacting with speakers there.

Here's a link that provides a decent introduction to MC.
