Uncovering the life of Bishwambher Pyakuryal

The autobiography portrays the author's rather arduous journey from belonging to a small village in Bardiya to becoming a respectable name in academia in the heart of Kathmandu.

Bishwambher Pyakuryal, a noted economist, prolific writer, economic and development consultant, and litterateur, has added a new feather to his hat by bringing out an autobiography. Published only recently, on September 20, the very title of the book, Aaphainlai Khojda—Kehi Chhopiyeka, Kehi Ughariyeka (which could be loosely translated to English as Searching Oneself—Somethings Veiled, Somethings Uncovered) promises to uncover many things that he has faced and confronted in his decades-long career in the country's academia.
