Writer and journalist Akhanda Bhandari has come up with a new novel ‘Bora’. The book was launched at an event held in Kathmandu on Friday. Bhandari said that the novel depicts the behavior of children towards elderly parents in Nepali society and the psychology of an abandoned mother. He said that Bora is based on the story of a mother who is rejected by her children.

Bhandari has previously written the novel ‘Malaya Express’. Bora is a novel based on true events. The subject of the growing injustice, sin and crime in our society is in the novel. “The real situation of his own son finding his mother thrown in a sack has been covered,” he said.

Bhandari said that although the novel is based on a real incident, the characters and environ

ment have changed. However, this novel is also fiction written based on reality. The mother never cries in the novel. Published by PeaceBooks Pvt Ltd, the novel has 470 pages.

Capt Rameshwar Thapa, Chairperson of Annapurna Media Network, said that ‘Bora’ is a successful novel to tear apart social evils and anomalies. “A mother never gets old. A mother never shows that she is old,” he said.
