- Bhundipuran Publication’s “The Dark, Blue Sea !” is a book prepared by Padma Devkota.
- From the writer, “I don’t have the same confidence when I sit down to write in the vernacular. I have failed miserably in my attempt to express serious ideas in the Nepali language. I have already exposed to the public my incapacity to spell correctly as well as my capacity to generate horrible sentences.”
