He also said that the dreams seen while drinking tea as students and youth and the moments of struggle to follow them are common experiences of every young person who meets in the tea shop. "The dream and struggle of drinking a cup of tea and the joy of drinking tea with friends even after fulfilling the dream is different," he said, "I am one of the young people seen in every tea shop in Kathmandu." That's why I decided to publish the book at the tea shop.
