biography

Anil Shahi

Born in 1986 Kathmandu, Nepal
Lives and works in Nepal

Anger is but a momentary madness, smile is but the victorious rejoice over this madness. Smile is induced either out of spite or pure joy; it’s an indescribable word yet so defined, it’s like a bridge between two never meeting corners.

The world is not just unsatisfied but as complicated, that each being seems to have endless criticism for the other. This harrowing empty endless pit of dissatisfaction lays in each stem of civilization from the political to the household madness. Yet, the world moves ahead into the undeniable future, and smile but helps to move ahead among this lunacy, doesn’t matter whether it’s fake or genuine, all that matters it that the smile is visible.
