Subtitle: Lost Fields, Fading Traditions, and the Price of Progress

Blurb:

Not the Same Anymore is a poignant reflection on loss, change, and the delicate balance between development and preservation. The author takes readers on a journey through his hometown Sipadol, Bhaktapur—a city once filled with lush terrace farms and the melodies of nature, now overtaken by brick kilns and unchecked urban sprawl. This deeply personal story invites readers to ponder the true meaning of development and the legacy we leave behind for our future generations. It is a call to reflect on what we sacrifice in the name of progress and a tribute to the beauty and resilience of a city that once was.
