Bhupi Memorial Thak Library

Established in 2004 through the initiatives of the local community, this library is a tribute to Bhupi Sherchan and boasts more than 6000 books of various genres. There is also a bust of Bhupi Sherchan in the library compound. Bhupi Sherchan was one of the most respected and famous poets of Nepal. If you have some time to spare do read some of his poems. He was quite an eccentric poet with poems ranging from narrow alleys, the nation as a whole and life. His rebellious and sarcastic poems have been appreciated by many and are involved in course books taught in schools and universities abroad. There are tons of poems that will compel you to ask questions to yourself and make you think. Here is a translation for one of his poem, "Jiwan ko Adhyaro Sadak ma" (On the dark road of life) On the dark road of life I feel success is lit like a lamp with the dynamo of a bicycle So long as my legs rise and fall pushing the pedals speeding on the lamp-lit-path falls beneath me But as soon as I tire and my feet slow to a halt in front of me jumps darkness barking.
