देखेको मुलुक भित्रको पृष्टहरुलाई पल्टाउदै जादा अध्ययन गर्न पाईयो। “लिलीभिर”
लिलीभिरको पन्नाहरुलाई पल्टाउदै जान्छु त्यति मेरो आत्मा आत्तालिदै जाने गर्थ्थो। त्यो काहाली लाग्दो भिरको केहि खण्डमा तपाई मरोपरान्त हुनेगरि बस्नु भएको क्षण । गुहार माग्दा तपाईको आवाजलाई वेवास्ता गर्दाका त्यो ताकाका समय।
आज त्यो लिलिभिर बाट सिलाम निस्के झै हामीले कनकमणि दीक्षित सरको देखेको मुलुक पढ्न पाईयो।
अन्तमा कनक सर आजकाल त्यो लिलिभिरले के स्वरुप बदलेको छ ?
Dear Mr. Dixit,
I read your recent comment in The Hindu in which you discussed the need for South Asian countries to cooperate more closely. It is excellent. As the editor of the Frankfurt based magazine D+C Development and Cooperation with the website http://www.dandc.eu, I would like to get in touch with you. Perhaps we can cooperate occasionally – either with you personally or with someone from your editorial teams. Best wishes and thanks for your kind attention, Hans
Namaskar,
Respected sir,
I am from ETV Bharat, one of the largest digital platform from India. sir, wanted to interview you on current issues regarding Ind0-Nepal bilateral relations.

Hi Mr Dixit: Would you have time early your Friday to come on the BBC’s Newsday programme to talk about Stage 1 of the Nepalparliament elections?
Regards,
Dear Mr. Dixit,
Your writings are sensibly balanced and I like your ideas of harmony and the face of aggressive ‘nationalism’ engulfing the world. I am based in Sydney, currently editing a short- story anthology book titled ‘Kisse’, which are lived stories from our subcontinent. These are stories contributed by Bangladeshi, Sri Lankan, Pakistani and Indian writers. I am still looking for a contribution from a Nepalese writer, without which this anthology shall not be complete. Would you be kind to contribute a 2000-3000 world story or direct me to an author, who would be a blessing to do so. Warm regards

Kanak, I’m not sure how clearly you remember me from long ago at Columbia University and the Minnesota North Woods. I remain with very fond memories of you and Shanta and would value the chance to get back in touch with you. If that’s something you would welcome, please drop me a few words.
With good thoughts for you and family,
Marty
Hi Kana
Hi Kanak!
So happy to reconnect! My email is: laurenstockbower@me.com. How are you, Shanta, and your family? Alan, Sabrina, and I are well.
I have a good friend, Katherine Kay-Mouat, going to Kathmandu Dec. 31, arriving Jan. 1 for an artist grant and retreat. We worked together at US News & World Report for 13 Years. She’s British, but based in Paris the last 30 years.
What is the best way to communicate and catch up with you! You’ve been very busy, as always!
Hugs to all, Lauren
