With an experience of more
than two decades in children's writing, Kartikeya has mastered with
sophistication all the fine nuances of children's literature. Besides writing,
he has travelled to various nooks and crannies of Nepal, told stories to children,
taught and tutored them in writing and expressing themselves, and raised voice
for their rights. His writings are compulsory parts of many libraries across
the country. He is also founder of Kartikeya Child Talent Award Trust that
finds and awards talented but underprivileged children every year. Children's
Literature Foundation Nepal, an organization working in the field of children's
literature and rights, is his brainchild.
Wonderland is one of his
most celebrated books, A blend of fantasy and facts, the book makes an implicit
appeal for children's participation in the development of the country. He urges
for the need to plant democratic and adminstrative visions in children's mind
right from childhood days, and the need to teach them to dream high about their
nations. Through the story of Kanchhi and Beeru, he has articulated his vision
and dream about the future of today's children.
