KATHMANDU, March 22: How about utilizing this lock down time on some productive and creative activities, including reading books so that this free time won’t go useless?

Narayan Wagle’s new book ‘Koreana Coffee Guff’ is hitting bookstores soon. Wagle’s first book ‘Palpasa Café’ is considered a turning point in Nepal’s publication industry. ‘Palpasa Café’ not only inspired many new writers, but it also redefined the publication market. Since its release in 2005, ‘Palpasa Café’ has now gone through 30th reprints, making it probably the largest selling ‘non-text book’ novel in Nepali language.
