Another underground experience

On the night of September 9, 2025, around 8:30 pm, I was being moved from one safe house to another, riding on the back of a motorcycle, escorted by two others.

Once again, I was driven into an underground life. But this time, it wasn’t in some remote village—it was in Kathmandu itself, the “white area” we used to call during the People’s War of the 1990s. Back then, the war was fought on questions of class and inclusion. This time, the uprising was fueled by corruption, and Generation Z shook the streets.
