Friends,

I am using this space for making a personal announcement that is very much a part of my Sajha life and which my well-wisher Sajha mates have been inquiring for several months already.

Well, my mini-novel Chaytna Nasakeko Chithiis finally published and a website dedicated to promote it is up and running.

- http://www.dkhadka.com/chithi

I have a long list of Sajhaites to thank. First and foremost, Echoes for an excellent web design and Shree for valuable guidance to web-illiterate person like me. Gokul-jee for a wonderful preface for the book which, let me give a preview, starts with the story of how it all started right here in Sajha some years ago.

I am donating the proceeds from the book to Help Nepal Network. And I have to thank Shirish for making that possible and helping me out in too many things.

I am also grateful to anonymous Sajha artists and models for their precious cooperation during my initial search for a design for the book.

Then all initial readers of the story for their encouragement and following up inquiries regarding its publication.

So, basically, in Sajha had my book it's birth pang and it would not have seen this day without Sajha.

I have been telling to all that Sajha has been a rewarding experience for me. This book is a living proof among many others I can produce.

Thank you Sajha mates ! Thank you Sajha !

Nepe,
Let me be the first one in Sajha to Congratulate you on your book. Similarily, I applaud you for donating the proceeds from the book to Help Nepal Network, a noble cause.

Congratulation once again.

Congratulation to Dr. Khadka. I hope this is just a beginning of your literary journey. I wish you good luck. And even bigger applause for declaring to donate the proceeds to Help Nepal Network.

Congratulations, Nepe dai! Just ordered the book - looking forward to reading it. ~M.P.

Feri pani CONGRATS for book!!!!!!11

Nepe,
Congratulations on the book!
Are you the same Deepak Khadka that went to Padmodaya High School?

{ditto Oys ko line mero tarfa bata eh!!! Starting with Congratulation. eh.}

Congratulation NepeUncle! Looking forward to read it soon. Keep good works going on.

congrats from me too..:oD...well another anonymous well wisher in the wagon ;oP hehe..

guess its written in nepali..urghh :oS...dun mind me 'urgghs'..it was just a personal urgh..for me own 'deficiency' :oS ;oP hehe.....reading the "about the boook" kinda was intriguing..but alas...can one(me) read?even if the chance came?:oS

anyways...congrats again :oD..

Hmmm....good stuff, man. Can't wait for Ashu to post a review!

;-)

Chyatna Nasakeko Chithi (A letter untorn ).

Shouldn't the translation be "A letter that couldn't be torned" - or whatever is the past tense of tear. 'A letter untorn' translates to me as 'Nachyateko Chithi'.

And as a prolific writer as you are, in English language as well, would you consider indulging us, lazy and not-so-good-in-Nepali readers, in English?

Good luck and Congrats!

Congratulations, Nepe!

Guys, buy the book and help the kids in Nepal. I haven't yet read the book myself, but well, if your $5 will buy you a novel and a needy kid in Nepal a textbook, I think it's worthwhile. I've done my part to help facilitate this, and I think it's your turn now to do your part and spend the money :-)

Best,
Echoes.

I would prefer "untearable letter" as a true translation. "Letter untorn" means what ssNY wrote I guess. "A letter that could not be torn" is wordy and means something that "chhithi kada bhayeko le chatya nasakeko."

Just my 3 cents!

नेपे दाजिको कथा सरसर्ति पढे । अति उत्तम लाग्यो । छड्के सलाम छ तपाइको लेखाइलाइ ।

Nepe hazur, aghi hatar ma latar bho... aight m back again. Ramrari site ni here, ali ali padhe pani... Bhat pani khaaye, chau ko tarkari kyaa meetho, aha pet damma bho!!!

हार्दिक बधाई मेरो तर्फ बाट पनि। किन्ने चाँहि अब कि त म उतै आ बेलामा हैन भने हजुर एता आ बेलामा गर्नु पर्ला !! (किताब मा हजुरको दश्तखत् र अंगाल मारेर फोटो नखिचिं किन्ने वाला चाहिं म भैन,) ... eh!! Frankly. बरु वेबसाईट नि बनेछ, अब यसो दिनहु नयाँ नयाँ गजल छापि बक्से हामी जस्तो बिदेशमा तारो हान्दै बस्ने हरुको पनि जनकल्याण हुन्थ्यो !! अरु यस्तै हो!! :D (त्यो सौगातको फोटो हजुरको? Damn, त्यो त देखि रा फोटो थियो नि, नेपाल छदाँ खेरी!! साउनीको पसलको पारी भित्तामा फोटै टाँस्या झल्झली याद छ!! And for some reason I thought that was Ashok Sharma... त्यही भन्छु नि, त्यो असोक शर्मा नि कसरी त्यस्तो हिरो भएछ भन्छु नि!! eh!! किच्चु दादा त किच्चु नै रहन्छ नि, जे लाए नि haha)... :D

Echoes, Timilai pani badhai cha... Once again, good job bro!!! Ke ke garecha yesso निहाल्दै थिए !! ehe.

Laterz.
