  • Final Water&Culture Translatio
    Preface Almost a year ago, at the end of the month of Ashadh, Mr. Surya Nath Upadhya (present chief of CIAA) called at my place and told me to meet him once. I proposed him to meet at a ceremony organized by French Embassy on 14th July to mark its national day. I met him on the scheduled date but we were unable to talk business. He invited me at his office, Babarmahal at 5 PM the next day. That day, I along with my wife Madhuri went to visit him on our evening stroll. He was waiting for us. Then we three headed towards Jalasrot Vikas Sanstha (JVS) at Anamnagar. There we met Mr. Bhuvaneshwar Pd. Daibagya, Dr.Upendra Gautam, Dr. Vijaya Shrestha and Mr. Pradeep Mathema. Mr Surya Nath Upadhya requested me in front of them to act as a resource person for “Water and Culture”. Before this, I had never come across an issue like “Water and Culture” in my life. Realizing the issue at hand may be interesting and challenging. I accepted the offer. They suggested me to do some immediate homework to present a country status paper in “South Asia Regional Consultative Meeting on Water and Culture” which was to be held on 4-5 August 2002 in Dhaka. I consulted with them on it for sometime. It was the first time I got any formal introduction in this subject. I worked hard for a week and prepared a four-page paper on water and culture in the context of Nepal. I recited it in the assembly of friends of JVS and all of them appriciated it.
