When I first stumbled on Nepali Times, I thought it was yet another paper in the pile. Going through it later, I found every article carefully crafted and minutely edited. There seems to be a lot of effort in the whole making of the newspaper. It has become a solace for a reader like me tired of reading politicised propaganda-filled papers. Your regular columnist Kunda Dixit has a good sense of humour, CK Lal writes splendidly. Wish you would make your crossword easier!

I very much enjoyed reading the piece in your Daily Online Edition on the Maoist insurgency "Journey to Maoland" (#23). I was carried away by the way Sudheer Sharma narrated his travels. Keep those stories coming.

Our local hat collector shouldn't have a hard time writing a humour column for this issue. Just recount the week's events, as this week has been a farce in itself. If only it weren't so tragic.
