I was born in Boston, Massachusetts USA and I live now in Arlington, Virginia near Washington, D.C. I developed my writing skills as a scientist and an administrator at the National Science Foundation. I actually never imagined I would become a book author and certainly not an author of a children’s book. I was motivated to write the book however, after learning about the sad story about a street dog who was abused by a woman in Kathmandu.

Subba Krishna Lal Adhikari might probably be the first literary martyr in the history of Nepali literature. He was the author of MAKAIKO KHETI, literally a book on the cultivation of maize, which criticized the Rana government under Minister Chandra Shumshere and which took the author’s life due to the conspiracy of some villains. This incident went down in the history of Nepali literature as MAKAIPARVA (The maize scandal).
MAKAIKO KHETI was written in 1920. The author of this controversial book was born in Ramechhap district in 1887. Krishnalal was a self-made man. He moved all the way from Ramechhap to Kathmandu to join the government service during Prime Minister Chandra Shumshere.
Parijat, the pseudonym of Vishnu Kumari Waiba, was a great name in the history of Nepalese literature. She had contributed a lot for the enrichment of Nepalese literature. She was a popular novelist, poet, short storywriter and woman activist. As a woman writer, her position has no parallel.
She was born at Lingia tea garden of Darjeeling. The death of her brother by drowing in a pond led her family to leave Darjeeling for Kathmandu, Nepal. She had acquired her early education from a girl school of Darjeeling. She passed the S.L.C. examination as a student of Padmakanya Vidyashram of Kathmandu.
B P Koirala (Bishweshwar Prasad Koirala) was a Nepali politician and a prolific writer. He was the Prime Minister of Nepal from 1959 to 1960. He led the Nepali Congress, a social democratic political party. Koirala was the first democratically elected and 22nd Prime Minister of Nepal. He held the office for 18 months before being deposed and imprisoned at the instruction of King Mahendra.
