The author announced the launching of the book by handing over the book to senior artist Durga Baral ‘Bastiyan‘ on the stage. “I had the privilege to handover my book to national poet Madhav Prasad Ghimire it was the first launching of the book.” Shrestha shared.
“Moments of unveiling my book are memorable events of my life.” The book contains 108 poems and describes love, society and nature.
