Twice Mistake by KTV

By Harsha Man Maharjan

I was amazed to a book name Arresting God in Nepal in the yesterday's news in Kantipur Television. It was the second time. It named this way in previous news few days before too.

The news even informed that 11th Book fair lasted for 10 days. It is 8 days only.
