Parajuli's Website</h3> <p class="text-justify"> <img src="https://gopalparajuli.com.np/assets/images/parajuli.png" alt="gopal parajuli" class="img-rounded img-fluid ml-0 ml-md-5 mb-md-4" style="float: right; border-radius: 0;"> <p style="text-align: justify;">Gopal Parajuli, born in Koteshwar, Kathmandu on 17 December 1950, earned his primary education from Guhyeshwari School, Sinamangal. Passing out from there after an extensive participation in children’s literary meets, poetic recitals and symposiums, he entered the Padomodya High School for his matriculation. There, while in the eighth grade, he won a prize for his essay “Nepalipan.” Seeing that the world was divided into two poles, he wrote a one-act play <em>The Two Extremes</em> in 1980, which brought him into literary limelight. Unable to bear the shock of his mother Thir Kumari’s death following a heart-attack, he wrote <em>The Mother Figure</em>, an epic commemorating his mother. Though admitted to a college, he did not attend regular classes for a few years; rather, he started a school in Sinamangal and chose to work there as a volunteering teacher. As a college student, he took training of the National Cadet Corps (NCC) in 1965. He also took up boxing. This coy youth, a vegetarian and teetotaler, ascended the boxing ring many a time. Selected for the post of Second Lieutenant in the National Corps, he did not discard pen, and did not choose to be a soldier. Though entangled in domestic politics, he did not shun pen, and never wrote of domestic affairs.</p> <p style="text-align: justify;">Though his family was quite well-off, his ailing father suffered for want of money for treatment, so Gopal took up the job of editing <em>Garima</em>, a literary monthly. In 2003, he wrote <em>Declaration of a New God</em>, a work intolerable to the opponents, and kissed the summits of popularity winning Nepal’s post prestigious literary award, Madan Puraskar. Believing that the world would read it one day, he set out to publish yet another epic <em>Arko Vishwako Prastaav</em> in 2012, whose English version titled <em>Proposal for a New World</em> has come out recently. <em>Letter of a Jailbird</em> and <em>A Solider in Search of Peace</em> are two other epics that quickly followed. He also has a number of stories, plays and poems to his credit.</p> </p> </div> </div> </div> <script> $(function () { var swiper = new Swiper('.js-swiper', { slidesPerView: 1, // spaceBetween: 10, navigation: { nextEl: '.nextSlide', prevEl: '.prevSlide', }, breakpoints: { 991: { slidesPerView: 1, }, }, pagination: { el: '.js-swiper-pagination', clickable: true, dynamicBullets: true } }); }) </script> </div>  <div class="footer-bottom" style="position:fixed;left:0px; bottom:0px; height:70px; width:100%;"> <div class="container"> <div class="text-center"> <div> © 2019 - 2020 Gopal Parajuli </div> <div> <a href="https://gopalparajuli.com.np/index.php/disclaimer" title="Disclaimer" class="my-a"> Disclaimer </a> | <a href="https://gopalparajuli.com.np/index.php/credit" title="Credit" class="my-a"> Credit </a> </div> </div> </div> </div>  <script> window.addEventListener("load", function () { window.cookieconsent.initialise({ "palette": { "popup": { "background": "#223249", "text": "#fff" }, "button": { "background": "#F6912C", "text": '#fff' } }, "theme": "classic", "position": "bottom" }) }); $(window).scroll(function () { if ($(this).scrollTop() > 0) { $('.js-header').addClass("bg-colored"); } else { $('.js-header').removeClass("bg-colored"); } }); $('#menuToggle').on('click', function() { $('#menuPanel').show(); }) $('#closeMenu').on('click', function() { $('#menuPanel').hide(); }) $('#articleToggle').on('click', function() { $('#articlePanel').show(); }) $('#articleCloseMenu').on('click', function() { $('#articlePanel').hide(); }) </script> </body> </html>
