Preface of Tryst with Inner Guilt (My short story collection published)


We are always told that the world is made of two sides - a good and bad. But do we really know which one is good and which one is bad? In constant struggle for proving ourselves good and others bad unbeknownst we inadvertently all  turn ugly. And this ugliness is what keeping the world from becoming beautiful. So at the end  it's not about becoming good or bad it's about not turning ugly.

I wrote these stories during one of the darkest period of my life. Rudderless. Without any Direction. Why I wrote I simply don't know. I guess I was just trying to discover my inner self. At this moment I would like to take time to thank my publisher for bringing this as a book. I would like to convey my regards to the editors of The Kathmandu Post who without any deliberation without any interaction what's so ever published some of these stories in their paper. Their kindness encouraged me to write more. And I would like to thank my esteemed teacher Mr. Subash Dhungel for time and again pushing me to get this published. Also I would like to extend my gratitude to Prof. Dr. D.P Bhandari for his kind foreword and Prof. Dr. B. D. Chataut who gave me his invaluable advise.
Finally this book is dedicated to my family especially to my father who had always been my rock and my mother who has been fighting with Alzheimer for so long. Oh how I really wish she could read it just for once.
