Magnificient Birgunj and it’s street cuisines
2I simply love Birgunj. It has a life and it lives it at fullest. The hustling and bustling town, with ringing of Rickshaw bells, crowd and some hard-to-define elements: it comes to life. Here are some snaps i took while i was there in February: an excellent time to visit the town.

Memories of WAR
8These are the recent images of Palpa Durbar. Maoist had attacked Palpa on 31 January 2006 and destroyed the historic monument. Though the war is officially over, this devastated historic monument still stands as proof that wounds are nor easily healed. The first picture is of Palpa Durbar (may be taken too long ago, date not mentioned. Image taken from www.tansenpalpa.com) The historic Palpa Palace was major tourist attraction center.

After the Maoists raid Palpa on the night of January 31, 2006, they heavily bombarded the palace which was home of government offices. Now the Palpa Palace looks like this:



These are the destroyed vehicles during attacks which are still left at palace’s ground as it is.
Locals say that during attacks civilians homes were also attacked. Though no civilians died but the wounds remained as psychological/mental trauma. One of the students of Tansen Nursing School told me that after attack many people came to them seeking psychological help. In her experience, mental trauma is more dangerous than physical.
