Exactly a month ago to this date, I returned from Nepal, where I had attended a workshop for South Asian Journalists on Climate Change and the Environment.
It was my first time to Nepal, so I was curious to see what the country was like especially since it had a population slightly larger than my city, Bangalore. The country, when compared to India, does seem to be stuck in a time warp — just by appearance — with really old buildings and its third-hand Maruti 800s roaming around as taxis. However, after a week with Nepal’s mountains, there grows a lingering hunger and thirst to be in nature’s presence.
