Music Myth & Melody

Dhrubesh Chandra Regmi

Music | History

The rulers of different dynasties in Nepal have linked music with religion and harnessed the power of music as a tool to govern the country. The kings, royal palaces, and temples functioned as cradles as well as patrons and connoisseurs of religion, culture, and musical activities. With solid foundations laid in the Lichcchavi period, the cultural activities in and around the Kathmandu Valley during the Malla period followed by Shah and Rana period helped elevate Nepal’s musical and cultural traditions to greater heights.

This book takes you on a journey through the rich history of Nepali classical music. Based on authentic historical facts and evidence, the book explores the classical and folk forms of music, dance, and socio-cultural traditions in different periods that have bound the country and its people for many centuries.

Same as Ever

Morgan Housel

Psychology 

When planning for the future we often ask, “What will the economy be doing this time next year?” Or, “What will be different ten years from now?” But forecasting is hard. The important events that will shape the future are inherently unpredictable. Instead, we should be asking a different question: What will be the same ten years from now? What will be the same one hundred years from now? Knowledge of the things that never change is more useful, and more important than an uncertain prediction of an unknowable future. In Same As Ever, bestselling author Morgan Housel shares 24 short stories about the ways that life, behavior, and business will always be the same.
