मुनामदन

Reading this again after 20+ years — the first read being when I was but a child and it was part of our school curriculum — has made me realize how beautiful the Nepali language can be. The story is also incredibly sad now that I am Madan myself — leaving behind my home and family in search for a promise of a better life. I don’t think as children we understood the depth and sadness of this literary masterpiece.
