What is Sitapaila

Being a spouse of diplomat does not only consist of attending receptions, high profile functions of host country, dinner and lunch with expats and colleagues. However, it also involves the personal life as well.

The personal life is informal and very much family oriented. Many books are available related to the formal aspects of the life of ambassador’s wife. However, only a few have attempted to look into the social life or informal parts.

The book is about a whole new adventure which begins in a little boy who finds out that his family is going to move to Nepal.
