Souls of My City: Two sides of destruction

Souls of My City: Two sides of destruction

Shiva Hari Gautam from Kalanki was a farmer in his youth. Alongside working in the fields, he also used to sell milk from his cows. He remembers seeing concrete structures only in a few places, even in Kathmandu. He says, “It was a dense jungle back then. Nowadays, it is hard to even spot a squirrel roaming around.” However, he thinks education has helped compensate for the extensive urbanization. Though he isn’t happy that the greenery is gone for good, he is content with the fact that equality between different genders, races and religions prevails in modern times. The Krishna devotee, like his deity, believes, “Every new generation brings change with them. Some are good, and some are bad.”
