Murali Dhar Bishwakarma

[Ankerson]

Here is alittle more info for those who didn't know.

From: http://www.tx3.net/~howardw/Khukuris/Kamis.htm

He is the newest member of the BirGorkha staff. They tell me he is about 40 with almost 30 years experience. His mark is the trisul and he seems good about marking the khukuris he makes. The work he has done so far is very solid and shows experience and care.

Murali can make a good khukuri when he's able. TB is the problem. He goes to his village up in the mountains where the air is clean and water is pure and gets well. Then he comes down to the very heavily polluted Kathmandu Valley and gets sick again.

I don't know the scientific basis for what I call the "smog count" but when it got to 120 or so in So. Cal. it was red alert. No sports or outside activities at the schools. People with repiratory problems advised to stay inside. When I lived in Kathmandu the smog count was 1200!! So now you know why Murali has problems.
