Satis Shroff's ZEITGEIST LITERATURE : HUMANITARIAN CRISIS IN NEPAL (Satis Shroff) : It was Paul Watzlawick who said: ‘One cannot not communicate. Neither can one not learn or develop oneself. The art of diplomacy, ethical and social engagement is always a learn process for one’s development. By not taking the Indo-Nepal border issue seriously, India’s PM Modi, a professed Hindu, has chosen the the path of indifference towards its small neighbor. The border problem has been caused by Lowlanders (Madeshisis) living on the Indian side of the border. Due to PM Modis inaction and indifference, he has let the border situation escalate instead of taking measures to deescalate the situation between the two neighbouring countries. In the past Rajiv Gandhi blundered in the Trade and Transit issue between India and Nepal, and also in Sri Lanka. PM Modi is going down in history as the man with diplomatic incapability as he let the Indo-Nepal issue deteriorate, instead of using the Hindu...

Interview with Satis Shroff When did you first start writing? I really started writing when I went to Kathmandu to do my BSc in Zoology and Botany. I used to write articles and stories in The Rising Nepal, an Engish daily. The day Satchmo died I had the urge to write something about this great trumpet player. After college I joined the newspaper and wrote a science column of my own (mostly conservation of wildlife in Nepal) and about cultural events, now and then about a yeti-expedition or about glaciers in the Himalayas. What's the story behind your latest book? It's a memoir about a young writer who goes west to study, meets interesting people, travels to fascinating countries, tries out different cuisine and gets to know about the Germanfolk as a student, as a lecturer, singer in a men's choire. He also visits his former home-country and is interested in the literature of the two countries, as well as English literature. Nepal's lingua franca...

LATE AUTUMN (Satis Shroff) After the rain came snow, Lovely white flocks, Falling from grey, misty sky. From my window I saw The wet and soggy leaves, Stairway to Heaven and green, mossy walls, Being gradually covered as with powder-sugar. The meadows between hills of the Dreisam Valley Look like white tarns. The blackbirds, small finches and a red-breasted robin Busy picking insects and worms earlier, Have sought refuge below the branches Of the tall pine trees. Ah, this is the time to decorate rooms, With pine-wreaths, hearts and stars, Together with spices like cinnamon, eucalyptus, Cardamom, slices of dried oranges and apples. The aroma of these spices and fruits, Combined with perfume oil on the window sill, A book in the hand and a song on your lips. Now you have time To come to terms with yourself. Alas, the green grass has withered, And the roses have faded. But the poinsettias spreads Its scarlet leaves and small yellowish flowers, Defying the depression an...
