"The Telegram on the Table" is a most popular story written by Parashu Pradhan.

Krishna, the main protagonist and single character of the story, had been living in a city,
perhaps in Kathmandu, for many years. He belongs to a village in the distant hill where
he hasn’t gone back since he left the place. Krishna came to the city in search of a
promising future, but is suffering from various crises and problems. He learned english
and employed as a tour guide. Krishna is enamored with the west and at the same time
expresses a deep, prideful connection to his own culture. He dreams of going abroad. He
doesn’t care about his wife, and has less sentiments. He dreams about traveling to New
York with blue-eyed tourist girls, but also expresses a desire to return to his village in
Nepal where he would dance to folk songs with old friends.

Krishna is potrayed as ambitious, energetic, curious yet selfish and less sentimental.
Krishna is a man of his dreams. In pursuit of achieving his dreams, he come less
sensative towards his family and even wife. Krishna is depicted as a young person who
seems to get easily lured towards ongoing trend of going abroad even at the cost of
ignoring his closed peoples. In conclusion, Krishna is passionate and less responsible
towards his family.

The theme of "Where the Mind is Without Fear" by Rabindranath Tagore is freedom from
colonization and what it takes to achieve that. Britain ruled India from 1858 until 1947. Tagore
was born in 1861 and died in 1941. He never lived in an India that wasn't ruled by the British—
and yet dreams of what his country could be if it was free, as described in "Where the Mind is
Without Fear." The British rule of India created a system that prevented many Indian people
from gaining education or positions of power in the country. The poem represents struggle for
identity and freedom as it exists physically and spiritually. His poem is a plea or prayer and he
wishes for "ever widening thought."  Tagore says, "...freedom, my Father," through the repeated
f-sound he is associating real freedom with spiritual freedom as the one would be worthless
without the other. 

Thus, this poem was written during the freedom struggle of India. Hence, it depicts a plea to the
people of the nation to hold their heads high with dignity and valour  because the Indians were
slaves to the British hence they had to keep their heads down.
The poem “Don’t Cut Down the Trees, Brother Woodcutter” has been written by the
famous Nepali poet Balkrishna Sama and translated into English by Michael Hutt. The
poet has attributed the quality of mother to the tree, which is the source of life for
humans. We get different kinds of fruits and flowers from trees. They show their love and
affection by kissing on our forehead as mother kisses her child with intense love and
affection.

The speaker of the poem is trying to persuade the woodcutter not to cut down the trees.
Therefore, he calls the woodcutter ‘brother’ and tries to establish emotional attachment
with the trees using the phrase ‘dead mothers’. He requests the woodcutter not to cut
down the trees because they provide us with the motherly love and care. They protect us
from the sun and the rain, seat us on their laps, carry us in their arms and shoulders, give
us fruits and flowers, and kiss our foreheads with leafy lips. They also weep for us, but
they cannot speak and plead with us. In winter, we sit around the fire and enjoy the
warmth inside our homes. We sleep soundly in our warm beds all night, but the trees
keep standing outside frostbitten to look after us like mothers of newly born babies. They
only cannot express their inner feelings for us. But as soon as spring comes the trees
attract us by their beauty.

Thus, the trees are compared with mother's love.
