Though I do not deserve the publicity, I thank you for giving me the opportunity to speak to your readers through your Nepali Society column (#33). But your reporter has made a mistake in attributing titles to me which are not correct and hardly used. The label that has actually stuck is photo kabi (Photo Poet), a title conferred on me by Kamal Dixit in Darjeeling in 1999.
