So far as I remember, I had my first poem published when I was in the fifth grade in the school magazine, and my principal highly appreciated it. That was the turning point: and I published my first poetry anthology in 1992, which was inspiring for me. But I wanted go for a full length novel in some secret chamber of my heart.

Climate is an important hydrological component. Climate is generally defined as the long-term average of the weather in a certain location. There is great variability in distribution of climate. There are several factors causing climate change. One of the major factors is greenhouse gases (GHG) which increases the earth’s temperature. This causes global warming, a temperature increasing process, which results in climate change. Countries such as Nepal would be at risk of increasing flood disasters in the wet season. The intensity of extreme events may be higher in a warmer climate, which would also increase the risk of flash floods in parts of Nepal. Read More... |
