Good to know that you had nice meeting with Laxman Rajvamsi ju. I regret that I failed sending copies of English translation of Srlaxmi's Nepalbhasa short stories which Laxman Rajvamsi ju launched at a function in Sankhu a few weeks back. Attached is the cover of the book. Her short poems Santiya Santi in Nepalbhasa was also released at the same program.
I assume you too are planning to be at WNO first convention in London.

On Newah Vijnana and the Person behind it
It was gratifying to read your personal essay on NV and the man behind it.
Congratulations, for this intimate piece!
Reading it I came to learn more about the journal and its editor's efforts in various fields, including Linguistics. I was, of course, familiar with some of his published work, including his Masters thesis and recent papers. What I liked about your essay is that it is about you and your social/family background as well as about the scope or the territory the journal covered in the last fourteen years.
Editing and publishing an academic journal on a limited specialization (such as Newar studies) is no small achievement, particularly in the USA where the standards as well as competition are both too high, certainly higher than in our part of the world.
As a well-wisher hoping for the continuity of the publication, I have some queries.
As I have some familiarity with the academic publishing (as Editor of TU Journal, Contributions to Nepalese Studies, and Kailash), I was wondering if you or Daya Ratna Shakya Bhaju can furnish me with some details. I am interested in knowing
1. the number of copies printed per issue
2. the cost of production of each issue
3. the total number of subscribers
4. Non-subscription sale per issue
5. Financial loss per issue , if any
6. Advertisements, Donations/Subsidies/grants from any donor or sources, Nepali or US, if any..
Apart from a regular flow of articles/papers/reviews of an acceptable standard and the time and energy to edit them and see through the actual printing process, the financial sustainability of a publication sets the last limits at the end of the day in the market economy.
I understand that from Nos 8 and 9 Daya Ratna Bhaju is handing over the editorial responsibilities to others. Has this move anything to do with the sustainability of the project?
Since an academic journal is a public domain I hope my curiosity, inspired by your essay, is not trespassing on any sensitive territory.
With kind personal greetings and best wishes,

On the Bakhan Daboo
I enjoyed reading the author’s recent visit to the Kathmandu Valley, which brings news to the world about the story of Bakhan Daboo. I could not agree more with the opinions stated here: “To achieve something new determined, the role of Stories is crucial. … From child to young hearts, old ones, everyone is charmed by stories. … Storyteller is the artistic creator and they can make devils fight each other to give a message that “Truth Triumphs” - Truth Prevails upon Everywhere! Stories are series of thoughts, a healthy creative conception.” In that regard, the activities of Bakhan Daboo are seen to be of positive value and praiseworthy. Please keep us posted with more information about their fund raising initiatives so that we can be of some help in their efforts. Happy New Year!

Your mail and the wishes have made my day!
Not only am I basking in the warmth of your good wishes, but I also stand very interestingly educated. I had never heard of Yomari,
I am also very happy about the long overdue recognition you and your work has received in the U.S. I hope some of your work is soon available in English too.
Thanks again for your good wishes and please educate me about new things more often.

We hope to read more and more from your gifted pen in the coming days. I have visited many times in www.karunaguthi.com. This is marvelous initiative you have taken fitting to the age of the internet. I found the site very interesting. I went through all the pages, and read your writings. Especially, I found your article on the Chandra Nursery very useful. You have depicted the Nursery providing very informative views for the readers. This is a valuable article which tells how the Newar settlers in Sikkim contributed in the progress of Sikkim. The introduction of the Bhasa Sahitya page is a needed one indeed. I assume soon you are introducing Nepal Bhasa literature in this page.
With my warm regards to you and didi,

First of all congratulation (BHINTUNA) for lunching new web site www.karunaguthi.com, which I came to know through World Newah Organization. It is definitely one stone added in Newa activities. I expect we should work together for our ethnic-identity, culture, language, literature, and newa-religion. Our ancestor had worked a lot to enrich it and it's time to work by we people. I also know you may able to do a lot over there than Newa people in NEPALMANDAL as Nepal does not have any equality political system.

On the Bakhan Daboo
I enjoyed reading the author’s recent visit to the Kathmandu Valley, which brings news to the world about the story of Bakhan Daboo. I could not agree more with the opinions stated here: “To achieve something new determined, the role of Stories is crucial. … From child to young hearts, old ones, everyone is charmed by stories. … Storyteller is the artistic creator and they can make devils fight each other to give a message that “Truth Triumphs” - Truth Prevails upon Everywhere! Stories are series of thoughts, a healthy creative conception.” In that regard, the activities of Bakhan Daboo are seen to be of positive value and praiseworthy. Please keep us posted with more information about their fund raising initiatives so that we can be of some help in their efforts. Happy New Year!

On Yomari Punhi
Your mail and the wishes have made my day!
Not only am I basking in the warmth of your good wishes, but I also stand very interestingly educated. I had never heard of Yomari,
I am also very happy about the long overdue recognition you and your work has received in the U.S. I hope some of your work is soon available in English too.
Thanks again for your good wishes and please educate me about new things more often.

We hope to read more and more from your gifted pen in the coming days. I have visited many times in www.karunaguthi.com. This is marvelous initiative you have taken fitting to the age of the internet. I found the site very interesting. I went through all the pages, and read your writings. Especially, I found your article on the Chandra Nursery very useful. You have depicted the Nursery providing very informative views for the readers. This is a valuable article which tells how the Newar settlers in Sikkim contributed in the progress of Sikkim. The introduction of the Bhasa Sahitya page is a needed one indeed. I assume soon you are introducing Nepal Bhasa literature in this page.
With my warm regards to you and didi,

First of all congratulation (BHINTUNA) for lunching new web site www.karunaguthi.com, which I came to know through World Newah Organization. It is definitely one stone added in Newa activities. I expect we should work together for our ethnic-identity, culture, language, literature, and newa-religion. Our ancestor had worked a lot to enrich it and it's time to work by we people. I also know you may able to do a lot over there than Newa people in NEPALMANDAL as Nepal does not have any equality political system.

At the close of life, the question will be not how much have you got, but how much have you given;
Not how much have you won, but how much have you done;
Not how much have you saved, but how much you have sacrificed;
How much have you loved and served, not how much were you honoured.
Not how much have you won, but how much have you done;
Not how much have you saved, but how much you have sacrificed;
How much have you loved and served, not how much were you honoured.
