Women from our community would sit and talk in the daytime when they have nothing to do. However, we still sit and talk, but we don’t gossip - we discuss to make our culture more authentic, not going to primitive lives, but how to mingle development and culture at the same time.” - Nisha Pandey Vision: Patlekhet is a majestic village displaying the true colors of typical Nepali village life.
