Meri Moonga Kakh Holi: Webbing Memoir into Story

Let us celebrate Hundredth Year of Modern Garhwali Fiction!

           Ram Prasad Ghildiyal Pahadi wrote second story in Garhwali ‘Meri Moonga Kakh Holi’ published in Hilans. The story is definitely memoir of childhood and young age. However, Bhagwati Prasad Nautiyal states that the story lacks a couple of aspects of story.  Dr Dabral states that the story has aspects of essay too. The ‘Meri Moonga Kakh Holi’ is also nearer to memoir.

 Since, there is no focus on one aspect the ‘Meri Moonga Kakh Holi’looses its capacity as story.
