I really don't remember when I became addicted to books. In school, I was interested in reading and the trend continued. The choice of book that I used to read back then has changed drastically. What has not changed is my love-hate relationship with Nepali literature. Back then, I was the only one in my friends circle reading Nepali books. Reading Nepali literature was not a happening thing then and at least in my friends' circle, it still isn't.

When I was a kid, I wasn’t much of a reader, more of a listener. I loved it when my father read me stories. I remember the first book he ever read to me was of Chicken Licken, a chick that feared that the sky would fall on its head and wanted to inform the king about it. I could never get enough of the story and would ask my father to read it to me again and again. He bought me a lot of story books but I just looked at the pictures and guessed what was happening in the story.

Superheroes have always been a part of our culture and folklore, and have (arguably) been around since the first humans began to draw on cave walls or write on parchments. What drives us to create such stories of extraordinary courage and extra-human possibilities? Likewise, what drives us to hear these stories?...

I’ve come across a photojournalist that leaves me almost speechless - allow me to introduce you to Brian Sokol. I initially skimmed through the pictures on his website and a few pictures in I knew I loved his photography and his photographic eye.
