We are fortunate to be able to hand over this Souvenir during the occasion. We have tried our best to make this souvenir a good example of an attempt to fill the gap between new and old immigrants from Nepal along with educating them on how to start a new life in this land of opportunity. Along the same lines we wanted to bridge the gap between all the Nepalis living in US and provide up-to-date information about Nepali communal and non-profit organizations here in the US. We invited organizations to send in their contact information by making a call for submissions to major online and print magazines. Unfortunately we were not able to reach out to all organizations and we’re hoping to continue this project in the years to come. We have tried to incorporate valuable articles and abstracts in this issue. Even though our goals were to reach out to hundreds of writers, we’ve still been pretty successful at getting a fair amount as you will see. We heartily value the time the writers have spent towards this issue and are forever indebted to them. I personally feel proud and honored to be the Chair of this important task to lead the development of and publish this magazine as a souvenir for the 27th Convention. But my time and effort would be just doomed if I had not gotten help, encouragement and lots of supports from the editorial team , Convening council , advisory board of this souvenir, my friends and of course my family. So please accept my personal acknowledgement to all who supported and encouraged me. Without your support and trust in me I would never be able to prove my ability to bring out this project to a close. With that said, I would like to digress a little. As we all know, although Nepal is small in size, it has an abundance of resources at its beck and call. From the snow-capped mountains to the hundreds of rivers to the immense amount of cultural knowledge, Nepal is a veritable treasure-trove of untapped knowledge and resources. The natural resources of Nepal besides bestowing beauty have been of very high importance to certain fields of research. Countless intellectuals have tried to focus the world’s attention to these factors before. The work is not done yet. We have barely started. I would like to take this opportunity to say that we can continue this work and we are already in the process. ANA, through its forums and other events, has contributed in great strength towards this cause. I am in the hope that these efforts will continue. It is especially pertinent in these trying times of economic crises, trade barriers coming up, unrest and war that we have to hold on to the promise of a better time. Nepal is no exception. In fact, Nepal is in the midst of a double-whammy, the external crises and the internal political and civil strife. Let us all join hands and pray for peace and harmony in Nepal and the world as a whole. Let me take this opportunity to make a call out to all of us here to let go of our egos, loosen up our constricted viewpoints and act as one towards that goal. The time has come for all of us to unite, to stop arguing and finger-pointing in the name of politics, race, caste and religion. Let us join hands to promote each other’s arts, culture, language, literature, businesses and professions. We are continuing to do this at the ANA Convention. Let us take this further and do it as part of our daily lives and routines. Even from the backwaters of Nepal’s history, it is apparent that Nepal has stood for unity between different religions, caste and cultures. Nepal is the country where Buddhists and Hindus worship in the same location. We celebrate all the festivals and rituals together without any bias and discrimination. Nepal is an example of “unity in diversity”. Let us hold our forts strong and work towards not letting this vision go. Today, peace is the greatest need of human beings, but the tragedy is that we have everything except peace and harmony. We know we cannot find peace anywhere except in our own hearts and souls. We are lacking this because we are too busy fulfilling our materialistic needs and do not have time to search for peach within ourselves. The time has come to look back at our own cultural heritage, the deep cultural knowledge and the teachings of Buddha. Only then will the glory of being the great land of peace and light of Asia will be ensured. Thank you Dhruva Thapa Chair/ Chief Editor of ANA 2009 Souvenir. 4 Welcome Address by Message from Convention Chair Convener On behalf of the 27th ANA convention organizing committee, our dedicated and hard working members and volunteers, and the Nepali community of the Bay area and Dear Conventioneers, Northern California, I heartily welcome you all to the Golden State of California and the bay area. It is with pleasure

  • Bishnu Kumari Waiba - Poems
    Classic Poetry Series Bishnu Kumari Waiba - poems - Publication Date: 2012 Publisher: Poemhunter.com - The World's Poetry Archive Bishnu Kumari Waiba(1937 – 1993) <b>Parijat</b> was a Nepali writer. Her real name was<b> Bishnu Kumari Waiba </b> (waiba is a subgroup of Tamang) but she wrote under the pen name <b>Parijat</b> (Parijat is night-flowering fragrant jasmine flower). Her most acclaimed publication is Siris Ko Phul (The Blue Mimosa), which has also been adapted in the literature curriculum of some colleges in some English-speaking countries. <b>Early Life and Education</b> Parijat was born in 1937 in the hill station of Darjeeling, India, a place known for its tea gardens. Because her mother Amrit Moktan died early, she was raised by her father Dr. K.N. Waiba, who was a psychologist, and her grandparents. The birth place of Parijat, Darjeeling, was a major centre of Nepali language, culture and literature during her growing up years. Darjeeling, which was once part of Nepal, remains inhabited by Nepali people and never lost its character as a major centre of Nepali language, culture and literature. Sharing a close relationship with Nepal, Darjeeling has played an influential role in the development of Nepal's literature. Therefore, Parijat was intricately connected to Nepal and Nepali literature from her early childhood. Having had a keen interest in literature from her childhood, she was destined to play an important and well- appreciated role in strengthening Nepali literature. Parijat completed part of her schooling in Darjeeling and came to Kathmandu, Nepal in 1954.

  • 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.

  • Everything I Learned About Nepali Literature Is Wrong | 217
    (ALMOST) EVERYTHING I LEARNED ABOUT NEPALI LITERATURE IS WRONG | 217 Chautari Foundation Lecture 2018 (ALMOST) EVERYTHING I LEARNED ABOUT NEPALI LITERATURE IS WRONG Manjushree Thapa I’ve been rethinking my sense of Nepali literature, and am pleased to have a chance to share my thoughts at Martin Chautari, an organization that I played a very small role in founding back in the 1990s, when it was an informal discussion group among “development” workers.1 Most of us, at the time, were foreign-educated, or actual foreigners. We were well meaning, but we were seeking an intellectual life without any links to Nepal’s own intellectual traditions in the political parties, the universities, the writers and activists. It was particularly under Pratyoush Onta’s leadership that Martin Chautari developed these links and became a site where foreign-educated Nepalis, foreigners, and Nepal’s own intellectual traditions could meet for open debate. Knowledge-generation is a collective enterprise. It is not an endeavor a person undertakes in isolation. I’ve written and spoken before on the thoughts I’ll share here, first in the introduction (Thapa 2017a) to La.Lit, A Literary Magazine Volume 8 (Special issue: Translations from the Margins), which I edited (Thapa 2017b), and then at two talks for the Himalayan Studies Conference at the University of Colorado, in Boulder, in September 2017, and for the Nepal Studies Initiative at the University of Washington, in Seattle, in April 2018. This lecture is a crystallizing of those thoughts, which are still in formation. One caveat: I am not a scholar, but a writer; I am engaged in what Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak calls the “wild practice” (2012: 394).
