Hem Raj Kafle

Hem Raj Kafle I post what satisfies me irrespective of what others would like to see. I am an Assistant Professor of English in Kathmandu University, Nepal.

I teach professional communication and courses in English literature and discourse studies. I hold PhD in English with specialization in rhetoric and communication. I keenly work across areas as diverse as literary theories, rhetorical criticism, critical discourse analysis, diaspora studies, creative writing and translation. Currently an Executive Member of the Society of Nepali Writers in English, I am a published poet and prose writer. I have to my credit a co-authored anthology of poems, a number of research publications on literary and communication discourses and dozens of newspaper articles on socio-political issues. I have passion for blogging. I blog without a rule, without a schedule and care little about being read and responded to. I am a passionate teacher, beyond anything, literally obsessed with creating new taxonomies and templates. The cliché that one comes in teaching after failing elsewhere is not the part of my story. Teaching was my first choice. I did not explore other alternatives. Teaching is my instinct. To teach is to know: to know is to be able to teach. I first entered a formal classroom in 1992. It’s already twenty three years since. I am thirstier than before. I am enjoying it for being able to do it.

I have always found it very difficult to regard a single person as ‘My Mentor.’ It is plainly so because a good number of people have helped shape my life’s path at different times, in one way or another. Picking one and composing a panegyric creates an added burden. An advocate of fairness th...

Things happen. People show their attitudes and change demeanors. I experience fluctuations in my view of the world. The phenomena appear static though, theoretically, they are in flux. Isn’t this a cliché? And, like manifold, I continue to mind my own business. Businesses go as usual, no doubt, a...
