Narrator Ganesh Prasad Lath has now come as a non-narrator. Having previously written four novels, he has written a memoir book titled 'Seemant Jakkan'. Marginal memory book was launched at Arsala of Nepalaya in Kalikasthan on Saturday.

According to Publication Nepali's publicizing style, the book is launched after the author presents a book to someone present in the hall. 

In response to the announcer's question, 'Who do you want to gift the book to?', writer Lath said, 'I want to give a gift to our Madhes new scholar Aditi Sah and writer Mohan Mainali.' Thus, LLB fourth semester student Aditi Sah and Mohan Mainali, the author of last year's Madan award-winning work 'Mukam Ranmaidan', along with the book's commentator Yadav Devkota, author Lath launched the book.

Writer Yadav Devkota commented on the book 'Seemant Jakkan'. Commentator Yadav Devkota, who writes on history and culture, said, "I am sometimes known as a critic in the city, but I want to say this today - even if people say that good books such as 'Simant Jakanan' are bad, I say this book is enlightening and readable." He said that 'Seemant Jakkan' has recorded the social and economic history of Birganj city at the same level as 'Nepal of that time' written by Sardar Bhim Bahadur Pandey. He said, 'You have to read this book to understand the Virgunj of that time.'

Devkota commented that the book 'Seemant Jakkan' is not based on fantasy and is also free from self-praise. He said, "Written by talking to hundreds of people, dozens of books, writings quoted and rare photos are also presented here, marginal memory  It is a research treasure.'

He also said that by chance he belongs to Gorkha, but Gorkha nationalism makes it difficult to accept writers like Ganesh Prasad Lath as writers. Commenting on the book, Devkota said, "Congratulations that Nepali has printed a book that should be printed by academies." The author of the book, Ganesh Prasad Lath, lives in Birganj. His four books have been published before, including the novel 'Kshamadan'. Lath is also a spiritual seeker.

Bimal Acharya, editor of Publication Nepalaya, said that they published the book because they found the rich style of literature and the research style of non-literary together in 'Simant Jakkan'. "Simant Jakkan is both a research paper and a thought paper," said the editor Acharya, "The author Ganesh Prasad Lath is not only one person, but the experience of many people is included in the book, so this book is a collective memory pool and folk history." The book has become a collectible with reference material, schedule, list of conversations and photo list.'

'Simant Jakkan' tells the history of the path of modernity in the soil of Birgunj, Acharya said, 'The history of the country is not complete without the history of every environment of the country.' Looking at the full audience, he said, 'Kathmandu has given me a lot of love and energy this year.' The price of the 332-page 'Simanta Jakkan' with some colored pages is Rs 745.
