KTM ROCKS!

Kathmandu is the place where my family originated and so did I. It’s been about 18 years since I’ve stayed in Kathmandu. Though I have travelled to other places of Nepal or abroad, the only place I feel most comfortable and safe is here, in KTM. Over the years, drastic changes have taken place all over Kathmandu; some positive some negative. The roads, buildings, houses, people, cultures and every other smaller thing in and around it have changed.

          When I travel inside Kathmandu valley, I feel familiar with every place and people I come across. There is no difficulty for me to roam around KTM, wandering all day long or at night. This is my home place and I live my fullest in it. It may be New York, California, Milan or any other place that I may travel to someday but at the end of the day I want to settle in KTM no matter what its status may be in the near future. Though KTM has been crowded and there has been shortage of different basic needs like electricity, water, roads, I hope this would soon end and also hope for KTM to be urbanized and well managed in the upcoming days.
