I. Introduction Writer Parijat, the Nepali Name for a Species of Jasmine With
I. Introduction Writer Parijat, the Nepali name for a species of jasmine with a special religious significance, is the pen name adopted by Bishnu Kumari Waiba, a Tamang woman who was born in the Tea-Estate of Darjeeling in 1937 A.D. She was the daughter of Kalu Sing Waiba and Amrita Moktan. She has been hailed by her contemporaries as one of the most innovative and first modern novelist of Nepal. The themes and philosophical outlook of her poems, novels and stories are influenced by her Marxist and feminist views and her own personal circumstances. Parijat suffered from a partial paralysis since her youth and ventured from her home only rarely during the past twenty years. She was unmarried and childless, a status that was not usual for a woman in Nepalese society and that is due partly to her illness and partly, it seems due to personal preference. Despite her disability, Parijat is a formidable force in Nepali literature, and her flower-filled room in a house near Balaju has become a kind of shrine for progressive Nepali writers. Parijat is a beautiful, intense-looking woman. She is concerned with a Nepali tribal group of antiquity but of uncertain origin. She is a Buddhist by birth and her childhood was deeply unhappy. According to Lama Religion, she was named Chheku Lama. Her mother died while Parijat was still young, and an elder brother drowned shortly afterward. At the age of about thirteen, it seems that she became passionately involved in a love affair that ended in heartbreak and a period of intense depression. -

Outsider… Final
Romantic Madness of Nature and Art … In a dare-desire of measuring the height of precipitous cliffs of experiences, along with the chainless episodes of expressions, I turn out to be a rebel to myself in every moment. Advocating on the appeal of my being the most miserable one, I want to be adjudged the happiest one among the maddening crowd. This is an absolute demand of my conscience. Myself tuned in to the lyrical notation of death, my mourning song is the music of my life. I am a poet of the body, and I am the poet of the soul, The pleasure of heaven with me and the pains of heaven with me. – Walt Whitman My beloved expression! Sometimes I collide with my own flashbacks and nearly explode. But even in a time of obscurity and oblivion my conscience remains my nearest relative. Only after that comes other relations and turn loving. Gradually, gladness of creation and glow of beauty spread in the face. Life seems grand but in the maxim of impulse, hatred and revenge like informalities, the entire world turns out to be stranger, all the possible well-wishers and lovers of mine are discarded quietly. Everyone seems stranger. However, minimum human necessities are related to informalities rather than formalities, but when it comes to experience the joys of living without editing the life, maximum human necessities tend to believe in formalities. Lets say, when time steals you, it would be difficult to love life without formalities. In this formal practice a man who is busy in judging other forget to judge himself. -

Here in editorial context, I extend words of gratitude that express themselves, though they might have remained apparently unexpressed. All of your accepted / unaccepted self-reflections shall become collages on the canvas of the history assimilated in this anthology. Dear Feelers! Wherever and whenever questions evolve, the existential consciousness of man keeps exploring the horizon of possibilities for the right answer even without the ultimate support to fall back upon. Existential revelations clearly dwell on the borderline, though it might be in a clash. In the present contexts, at places, questions of Nepali identity, modernity, representativeness, poetic quality, mainstream or periphery, temporal boundaries and limitations of number evolve – wanted or unwanted. Amidst the multitude of these questions, Dancing Soul of Mount Everest has assumed this accomplished form in its attempt to pervade the entirety as far as possible.
