Ghumne Mechmathi Andho Manche (Nepali: घुम्ने मेचमाथि अन्धो मान्छे)[1] is a 1969 Nepali-language poetry collection by Bhupi Sherchan.[2][3] It was published by Sajha Prakashan[4] and won the first ever Sajha Puraskar for the year 2025 BS (1969).[5]
Background[edit]
The poems were first published as individual short poems over time, on periodicals like Ruprekha.[6] The poems are highly informed by national and international political and social issues of the time, and are interpreted as protest literature.[7][8][1]
Reception[edit]
It is considered the poet's magnum opus, and argued to be on par with Muna Madan by Laxmi Prasad Devkota and Madhav Prasad Ghimire's Gauri.[1][5][9] Prominent critic Taranath Sharma, litterateur Basu Rimal Yatri, Yadu Nath Khanal, and Hiramani Sharma Paudyal, were among the critics who published positive reviews on the work.[4][6][10][11]
The book was awarded with the Sajha Puraskar by Sajha Prakashan in 2026 BS.
Adaptation[edit]
The title of 2022 Nepali film, Chiso Ashtray is based on one of the poem from the collection.[12]
