I am Bishnu Gautam, dedicated to social service from the inner core of my heart. I love writing lyrics and other genre of literature.
I was born in Shivalaya-7, a remote village in Kavrepalanchowk in 1962. From the childhood, I had a dream to change the condition of rural Nepal. Later I shifted to Kathmandu where I started my career. After trying many professions from government jobs to own business, I h
ad worked in tourism sector for more than a decade. Later, my elder son too entered the same profession and he too was doing well. Middle son was achieving success in his Study in America, receiving various awards one after another.
Having two successful tourism entrepreneurs at the home, our family was a happy one. Amidst the happy moments, we suddenly encountered with a cruel destiny. Within just nine months duration, we lost two of our sons on road accidents: elder son in Kathmandu and the middle son in America. The sudden blow of fate turned everything upside down. Our family was mutilated with grief and we were in a great fire of agony.
For some time, the world turned blank and everything seemed black. One fine morning, a quick idea sprang up from the tormented mind; a determination to give true tribute to the departed souls. Others fulfill their parent's dream but we shouldered our deceased children's dream of complete social transformation. Together with friends and relatives, we established Laxmi Pratisthan, a memorial foundation through which we are trying to make them alive. A deep shock and unbearable grief turned a businessman and an entrepreneur to a social worker.
Two years are now passed since the establishment of Laxmi Pratisthan. It has been working in the field of community school empowerment, youth and women empowerment, traffic awareness, health and environment through education, skill enhancement and support services.
In these two years, I have now gained thousands of sons and daughters & earned gratitude of millions of smiling faces. My narrow identity has been expanded now with the expansion of Laxmi Pratisthan's activities and achievements. The pain of losing two promising sons at such young age still haunts and the loss is irreparable. Yet, I feel good to have grief turned into energy.
