An Unwanted Sound

This book delves into the life and culture of Nepali people from diverse perspectives and vantage points. It brings together several themes and subjects including alluring natural beauty, incest, the superstitions so deeply embedded in the fabric of society, the jungle life of Maoist women fighters and devastating experience and loss of people living on the fringes of armed conflict. It also touches upon faith and practices of Shaivite sect of Hinduism. It is a work of non-fiction but gives the 'feel' of a fiction.
