In the last two weeks, three literature festivals took place across the country. Nepal Literature Festival in Pokhara, Janakpur Literature Festival in Janakpur and Kuda Karnali in Surkhet. We discuss how literary the sessions and guests have been in general at these literature festivals. We appreciate that events like this are taking place especially outside Kathmandu but we would like to see it accommodate more literature and less politics. What do you think?

We also share our reading list for the year 2024 trying to be more bodh-ful.
