First ever published material from a graduate from Rampur campus, even from Nepal,
in such a high profile journal (impact factor > 31) in natural sciences.

Congratulations Toya Dai! We are really proud of you. I wish you success in every endeavor of yours.

It's good you are bringing it to everyone's attention. A fellow Nepali publishes in a reputed journal. That's good. I am glad for him.
Having said that, however, I see no reason that to be a topic here as if it were some Nobel Prize, a Putlizer. It isn't about publishing a book or even a front-page/principal journal article. Mr. Toyajee has co-authored a piece that has been published under the section LETTERS, not lead research articles. While it's good to have something out than nil, I know more than three dozen advanced graduate students or recent Ph.D.s who have done so or even more in their respective fields. You should know that every discipline has a few top-ranked journals and if you want to research or teach in a top-tier schools or research institutions, you need to have your stuff out there. So, andjee, without meaning to offend you or Toya, keep it up and keep it to yourself. I know you can call me a jealot, but you are wrong because I am not against you. I simply fail to see how it would be such a big news. If Toya's research has broken fresh grounds in a discipline, well, let's celebrate it. But just for having a piece co-authored out there, keep it to yourself. Give me a break.

Sounds good but i cannot download article from there.
What might be the problem..?
No links..

Read the fourth line above as
. . . I know more than three dozen advanced graduate students or recent Ph.D.s (and all Nepalis) ....

"publication not found"

I almost agree with Lonely1..
But we should appreciate that something is better than nothing.
He is the first author.

Can you also tell us where Toya is currently located and the like . . . Google search only produces an oldie of Nepal's Napi Bibhag.... hahahaaaaaaaaaa
As a student of society and culture, I have my position on it below.

Perhaps it would have been better if it was kept within the circle of Rampures (who are linked by the common interest) as an inspiration for others to follow and for Toya to keep up the good work. Everybody knows publishing articles in different ranks of journals has been a routine job for researchers/students/faculties in higher education. So, should we boast who has registered "X" number of patents or "Y" number of articles everywhere?
