The debut (Nepali-language) novel of Narayan Wagle, the editor of Kantipur daily
and one of Nepal's finest -- if presently beleaguered -- journalists/writers, is being
published in Kathmandu later this month of Baisakh.

Since Narayan is a good friend (and even though I have yet to read this book ),
let me -- in the usual Sajha.com tradition of celebrating succcess of
fellow-Nepalis -- go ahead and give a plug to his book: Buy it, read it, and share your comments about it.

Here's wishing Narayan all the best.

Ramro hos
Bhalo hos.

When I saw "Wagle" int he title of this thread... I thought it may have to do something about Chirinjibi Wagle and his cronies.

Bhutra ko Wagle... yo to kitab nei prakashan bhayako chhain... sathi ko chakadi po rahechha.. Kiaab ta chhapna dinush, at least.... anawasyek thread kina?????

Hahahaha... to each his own is all I have to say.

best of luck Narayan Dai. I will buy it, I will read it and I will comment on it as Ashuji says. His work must be a great one. Enjoyed his 'kafi guff' as much as any good pieces I have read so far.

Best wishes to Narayan Wagle.. He is my fav. journist since his days of coffe gaf.. I will definitly buy and read his novel.

बाग्ले लाइ बधाइ ।

तर, मननिय कुरो के छ भने, पत्रकार को भुत्ते भाषामा साहित्य, लाटो को स्बर मा तानसेन को धुन हुन पुग्छ । पत्रकार र साहित्यकार दुबै लेख्नुको अर्थमा समान देखिए पनि, पत्रकार पाठक लाइ बृहत्तर परिबेश भित्र स्बत्ब खोज्न लगाउछ भने, साहित्यकार पाठक लाइ स्बआक्रित परिबेश भित्र स्बत्ब खोज्न लगाउछ । (Indiviदual in multitude versus individual in solitude).

तेसैले थोरै मात्रै पत्रकार सफल साहित्यकार बन्न पुग्छन । जहा सम्म, नेपालि साहित्यको ध्रुबमा मदन मणिको कुरो छ ? ऊ पत्रकारसगै एउटा सफल कथाकार पनि थिए, जो बाग्ले छैनन। सफल कथाकारको सफल उपन्यासकार हुने सम्भाबना प्रसस्त रहन्छ, सफल पत्रकारको त्यो समयले नै बताउला ।

When the heading of this thread clearly says" Narayan Wagle" and NOT some other Wagle, some people insist on thinking that all news about Wagles only be all about Chiran Jibi Wagle.

Oh well.

BTW, as a matter of trivia, a gentleman named Ram Chandra Wagle who runs
Bhadrakali Trade Concern, an agro-supplies shop in Bhadrakali in Kathmandu, sells
a meticulously prepared genealogy-chart of the Wagles of Tanahu and Gorkha (and
NOT of Karnataka in India).

Other than that, it's always worth promoting friends. True, some of them might end
up stabbing you in the back when they are done with getting what they want out of
you.

But that's life..

Still, you wish them well, and march ahead to have MORE friends and continue helping them in all ways possible.
