The Srijana Art and Literature Foundation held a literary event that placed discussion and critique at its centre, moving away from the customary long speeches often delivered as formal greetings.<\/p>\n

The programme, chaired by the foundation\u2019s acting president, Jeet Bahadur Shah, featured the launch of two works by Bishnuman Shrestha: the short-story collection Niyati Ko Khel and the play Jeevan Chakra. Each work was reviewed by a critic specialising in its genre. Story writer Sumitra Neupane reviewed the collection, while Dambar Bahadur Khatri, a lecturer in drama and criticism at Gyan Bahumukhi Campus, reviewed the play.<\/p>\n

The reviews focused more on the works\u2019 creative qualities than on theoretical aspects, examining their writing, themes and distinctive features. Participants said this approach made the discussion more meaningful.<\/p>\n

In the second part of the programme, invited speakers addressed specific literary topics instead of giving extended formal remarks. Narendra Jung Peter spoke on \u201cWhy and for What Should We Write Literature?\u201d Mahananda Dhakal discussed \u201cDebates in Ghazal: Then, Now and in Banke.\u201d Prajna Sabha member Khagendra Giri Kopila shared his experience of the Academy, while fellow member Kiran Acharya spoke on \u201cAgni in the Yajurveda.\u201d Poet Prof. Dr. Krishna Prasad Ghimire addressed the relationship between society and literature.<\/p>\n

Chief guest Sanat Regmi was not assigned a topic, but chose to speak about literature in the present era and the use of artificial intelligence. He reflected on how changing technology is affecting literary creation.<\/p>\n

Participants said the topic-based format encouraged discussion on different aspects of literature and gave the programme a distinct character. Despite its length, the event drew a steady audience through to the end.<\/p>\n
