Saru Bhakta ( सरु भक्त) is the pen name of Bhakta Raj Shrestha, a celebrated Nepalese novelist and poet and a winner of Madan puraskaar, the most prestigious literary honour in Nepal. He was born to Ganesh Bahadur Shrestha and Laxmi Shrestha in Bag Bazaar, Pokhara, Nepal and started writing around 1978. Many consider his novel Paagal Basti, to be a classic in Nepalese literature. This is a contemporary novel based on patriarchate, chauvinist ego. And such ego creates nihilism. This book resents a very unique and experimental example of nihilism.   Deep words with deep meaning Writer's Words: "I have an important wish - men should not misunderstand it, women should not refuse to understand it."   "I think it's an unique writing with lots of thing to understand from the story telling perspective. It reflect the male dominated society through the character and the people around it."
