Colours of Kanchenjunga

Most of the stories in this anthology are from the early decades after Independence, a time where the fragrance of freedom still labored under Indian Nepali community with their inimitable gift of seeing something glorious, beautiful or downright comic even in the worst of situations, was stoic and jovial by temperament.
