Hi I'm Ujjwala Maharjan.

I am a poet with the Word Warriors Nepal I'm doing my poem, "Bhatti." It would translate to a local dive bar I wrote this poem after I came back from a drinking session with my friends and I came back home a happy drunk, but my brother was not too happy about it and I wrote this poem as a reply to his concern for safety I've translated this poem into English with the help of a lot of poet friends I would love to love to thank Samip Dhungel and Itisha Giri for this
