Soter is spot on when he makes an analogy and price of the agony caused by Goan Pride and Idiocy with the havoc wrought by the Koshi/Kosi.
In this regard, allow me to point to a recent piece I illustrated on the Kosi. The original is 24' 3" wide x 4.75" tall, and done in sumi. http://www.flickr.com/photos/venantius/3329345828/sizes/o/ It is appears across several pages in the current issue of Himal and also in parts on www.himalmag.com under Special Report.
