First he was born from his mother's womb and then get rebirth in Pokhara after being refused from love. Prashanta believes in his reincarnation (intellectual birth). It is itself a complete and independent state. They (pagals) have built an utopia within the cruel world and it is detached in a sense.

Where people is free to live with optimum liberty and exercise their knowledge, labor and freedom.

Prashanta, had fantasized about this kind of world where there is no dominance of class, religion, gender, knowledge and capacity. We realize that small world is an Utopia, a perfect world laced with humanity. That is different kind of spiritual world, another protagonist, Prashant had established. We come to know that the Basti isn't a Pagal Basti (Mad Neighborhood) but it is something extra ordinary, out of this world. Now the narration shifts from first person to third person omniscient narration. In second part, entry of protagonist, Martha, changes the plot from curiosity toward exposition. So our narrator determined to expose the story of Pagal Basti. The first part is only about the old rumor about Pagal Basti, its Gothic and unbelievable story. The Maranchyase Tea Maker and his maranchyase story, the mad man Bhakte, the local school teacher, the mistress of lodge house all seems real people even though they are fictional. Presentation of natural canvas, description of various villages, villagers along with Pokhara are lively. His trekking to Ghandruk lead him towards curiosity of Pagal Basti. In first, the first person narrator is a reporter (holding diploma degree in reporting). I think it is a classic Novel in our scenario of literature presenting a Utopian society. The Maranchyase Tea Maker and his maranchyase story, the mad man Bhakte, Nepali Unicode Problem so trying in English :) Nepali Unicode Problem so trying in English :) I think it is a classic Novel in our scenario of literature presenting a Utopian society. I have to discuss this book through, pinpoint what I actually missed out on! I thoroughly enjoyed the world-building and storytelling but the blunt shift from one narration to another left me wondering where the first narrator went! Was the 'Settlement of the Insane' gone because The protagonist couldn't stay longer in the place which reminded him of her, how far can his 'Aham' take him?Īnd what was the overall conclusion? Aham wins over Love? or Both are defeated, fighting the long lost battle? The constant battle between Aham and Love was fun to read through. The amount of philosophy on 'Aham/Ego/I' was a bit too much for me to digest.
