Memories and musings

With his book, Manindra Ranjan Baral has done a commendable job of writing an autobiography that—besides unravelling his life’s work—also encapsulates the state of affairs in Nepal.

Dr Manindra Ranjan Baral is one of the most senior paediatricians of the country. At 84, Baral has brought out his autobiography with a very pertinent title, ‘Niyati ra Anubhuti’ that can roughly be translated as ‘fate and reflections’. The book though published in the closing months of 2018 is less known to many as it seems to have suffered the pangs of distribution as the publishers are not that familiar.
