While our old-school media wallahs are busy counting how many days the government has survived, some heroes are attempting the impossible: getting people in Lalitpur to actually read a book. Welcome to the July Book Talk & Movie Night, a sanctuary designed specifically for those who want to escape the terrifying reality of rising inflation by diving headfirst into a fictional universe. If your brain is fried from scrolling through doom-and-gloom news all week, this is your chance to pretend you have your life completely put together.
Tears, Tissues, and a Golden Fox
This Friday, the tribunal of book nerds will be dissecting The Little Prince. Yes, we are going to spend our precious evening discussing a pilot crashed in the desert and a tiny boy who lives on a rock with a drama-queen rose. After analyzing why adults are completely hopeless—which, let’s be honest, requires zero imagination if you live in Nepal—we will watch the film adaptation together. Prepare to weep collectively in the dark because a cartoon fox understands your emotional trauma better than your landlord ever will.
Cheaper Than a Plate of Buff Momo
For the ridiculously low price of Rs. 250—which is literally cheaper than a plate of decent buff momos or a single cup of artisanal iced Americano in Sanepa—you get to mingle with fellow book lovers. The event is hosted at Winston's Speakeasy, the perfect spot to sip something comforting while hiding from the outside world. So, navigate the glorious potholes of Lalitpur, bring your deeply buried emotions, and let's remember what it feels like to have an actual imagination.
