I didn&#8217;t know him personally. And, never have we met  either. But yes, I wrote to him, shamelessly! With young-silly spirited blood, I reckon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And for that, I will forever have a bellyful of laughter because of this weird stunt that feebly connected me to him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Again, looking back:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I like his blog decorum.

I clearly remember, back in the days, I was trying to improve my writing skill (<em>or whatever you call it<\/em>) by looking at &#8212; how he used to write his.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Furthermore, at around 2013, I ran into one of the <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=7rCNMW_UxPs\" target=\"_blank\">video<\/a> he had published on YouTube which I happily put on my <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"http:\/\/bijays.com.np\/BeautifulNepal.php\" target=\"_blank\">2015&#8217;s earthquake self-reflection diary<\/a>.
