The famous Nepali poet and critic Mr. Hari Adhikary has written in his criticism about the second anthology Ghar Farkiraheko Manis[2] that, "Amongst the new generation of Nepali poets, the poetry of Ramesh Kshitij stands along; it defies any categorization."

During his service as a Local Development Officer in the rural districts of Nepal, he had said to have practiced his poetry, focusing on humanity and pain.

Batuwaa he maanchhe vannu yo sansaaramaa
Junjastai chamki hida andhakaarma
Bagchha aanshu ekaantamaa bagi jaana deu
Khushi tara boki hinda anuhaarma

This song was sung by Ms.Anju Panta which was included in Kshitij album. About a hundred songs of Kshitij have already been recorded which give a message of hope, inspiration, philosophical view, new thought and positive attitude out of which twenty-five songs have been recorded in Radio Nepal.
