Glimpses from a Book Exhibition in Kamaladi

In todays modern world everything is online from groceries to vehicles to books. The book exhibition which I visited today is being held in Kamaladi. These exhibitions are a means to showcase today's generation the value of print text over online mediums.

Dipak Shrestha, a 36-year-old book seller from Bag bazar, has been selling books for more than 8 years. He has been marketing political and legal literature. He believes that we should start buying physical books rather than online books. He is also one of those people who teach us the value of hard work. It was hard for him during the Covid-19 pandemic as many business suffered huge losses due to the lockdown and COVID regulations. We asked him about what is his view on nowadays people reading books online rather than reading from the actual book. "This is just a short trend which is developing due to Covid-19 pandemic soon this trend will fade away and people will return to reading from actual books".
