Notable publications

[edit]

Rana is the author of a collection of short stories, City of Dreams: Stories, published in 2015 by Rupa Publications.[4] The collection was favorably reviewed[8][9][10][11] in Nepal with one review calling Rana "a bold writer, willing to push against the boundaries of what we might have come to expect of South Asian writers".[12]

Rana co-authored a series of investigative reports for the Post exposing the various shady dealings of German watchmaker Michael Kobold.[13][14][15] He also led an investigation into the decades-long abuse of students by a mathematics teacher at the Lalitpur Madhyamik Vidyalaya school.[16]
