I have been reading the articles published in nepalitimes.com on the web. This is just to compliment you on the great job all of you do at Nepali Times by writing on issues that were untouc-hable just a few years ago. Issues like the long overdue reality check for our royals and a message to the powerful smugglers that we indeed are watching what they are up to. Well, that in itself is no compliment because every journalist seems to be hammering them these days. However, the articles in your publication always stand out.

I want to give a special mention to your columnist C.K. Lal. He does an excellent job sunthesising and analysing hot issue in depth. Congratulations on being one of the few news sources from Nepal with such consistently high quality and integrity.

I have been reading Nepali Times from the first issue. After more than a decade spent in Nepal trying to make sense of what is happening, I feel so relieved to read material written by people who know that facts and words matter.

So please keep it that way; do not obscure the story with jargon. But do not simplify the issues either. Politics, society, environment, history are complex, it takes hard work to understand their linkages. I believe that Nepali Times is providing a reference and an example of intellectual discipline for Nepal\'s educated class.
