Chiitwan Mahotsav - Horrible & Shocking


I have always heard about 'Chitwan Mahotsav', so-called a grand event held in Chitwan every two years. Since, I always prefer to write on any matter only after getting a complete information, I moved to Chitwan yesterday. And the event is on from today. But I am quite surprised being here.

Though it's an event organised by Bharatpur Municipality and Nepal Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Chitwan; it is a pure profit motive event for them only. Even the smallest stall here costs Rs.10,000 and there are more than 300 stalls costing highest of around lakh rupees. So, where do the income goes ? The organisers tried convicing us saying it's an event to promote various sectors and businesses. Yes, we are convinced about it, but what about the income ? They aren't donating a single rupee to anyone needy or any organisation. Instead, as per the local people, every year after the event, organiser's building is expanded to its next level. For your kind information, once a single storage small building, now stands tall with great design.

On the other hand, today when I was on the road to see the Mahotsav Rally (which they call सोभा यात्रा), I was so surprised to see those organisers cruelty on childrens. On this matter to a local said, "Participation on this rally is not even a quater than previous year, because are now aware that Chitwan Mahotsav is a total profit motive event by NCCI (Nepal Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Chitwan) and won't do anything to them." And like I said it was quite horrible on the other way. How can those organisers ask small school students to participate on their rally and make them walk kilometers on such cold, just to make their event look huge? It was even shocking to few of them fainting on the road. God, how cruel can man be? Does a event become a grand festival if 7 to 9 years old students are made to march kilometers? It seems like Chitwan is helpless in front of the NCCI.

Is anybody watching? Are you just enjoying those marching on road for hours? Can't you feel those small children's suffering? While watching such, can't you take a look at yourself and see - you are wearing sweaters and jackets, and they are on thin shirts, skirts and pants ? Is this how people of Chitwan and the country? If yest, then please mind your eyes.

Also, locals are suffering from hours of traffic jams due to such rally, and they think the organisers should stop such rally.

A Nepali's American Life - अमेरीकामा नेपालीको जीवन

यो लेख साधारण रुपमा हामीले प्रकाशन गर्ने लेखहरु भन्दा फरक छ । किनकी यो अमेरीका बसेको एक जना भाइको दैनिकी हो । यहाँ केहि असभ्य शब्दहरु पनि लेखिएका छन् तर सत्यलाइ सहि तरिकाबाट प्रस्तुत गर्नको लागि यी शब्दहरु जरुरी थिए त्यसैले जस्ताको तस्तै प्रकाशन गरिएका छन् । यसले यदि कसैलाइ कुनै तरिकाबाट हानी पुर्याउन गएमा हामी क्षमा चाहन्छौं ।

My day starts with a burning flame of Marlboro Light. Hell yeah!! Who gives a dam to anyone ? I had never imagined of such change in any person’s life so frequently. And do you know that reason behind it ? It’s the fucking surrounding around you. A child is born, he/she cries, yet everyone around laughs on that pain. Same goes on forever till death. And that’s the fucking lesson everyone should learn. I believe the worst part of life is work. May be it’s just what I feel. Clunk the car and go to work, put a hard rock song to its fullest volume, flip my window to half and light a cigarette. That’s what I usually do and love to. Reaching the workplace means yet another day in hell. Sometime, I feel like shooting all those mother fuckers down who come to the store I work. I am fed up of their noises from their ass-like mouth. And you know the other word they often say – “what’ up homie?” Are they really a human being or wot? Don’t they have a brain in their head or do they put their brain inside their ass? Shit man! How much of weed do they smoke in a days? Give me a rello… To those motherfuckers, I feel like shouting on their face. If u got your attitude then I also got mine. Why the do they not understand this is not the real world and life they are living? Fucking United States!! Why the hell are they like shits? Lets say even if I make an excuse, they’ll turn into barking dog. Another thing we hear time and again while working at gas station is the word “Thank You”. So many times that I feel who made this fucking word? Basically, words like “how you doing?”, “thank you”, “debit or credit”, and “what’s going on?” are pronounced by us more than any other. Even more than those abusive national languages we used to speak back in Nepal. Man! This world sucks; we are the one who faces thousands of people a day with different race and different language. Can you imagine? I even know what they smoke, what they are going to take and even the fucking time they are goanna come to my store. I may be late to work but those customers are damn punctual. They even make me hear their fucking god dam story about their family while shopping. Common dude, fuck off. I don’t want to hear about your family aunt, dad, mom I don’t even give a fuck, even if they died. And can you believe, those fuckers are never ready to listen.

More over, I’m not that fucker who run in the boarder to pick up that trash and fill the fucking cold cooler staying inside for an hour. I didn’t come to United States for this man. Did you hear me? Fuckers, give me a break. I had thought that America was full of good people and it’s the land of opportunity but now I feel like it was a fucking foolish story alike elephant-ant joke. Opportunity? This word sucks. I put this word in my ass right now. Cause, I’m not the fucking dumb ass white guy. I don’t have fucking white skin. I was born with brown skin. Hell yeah! Never think I’m bad though I got fucking awesome mind in me. I never put my brain in ass I got it in my head since I was born. I challenge every fucking Americans to compete with me. And I’m dam confident that I’ll kick every American’s ass in every field. You know why? Cause I’m brown, and I love to be. That’s how I feel about this fucking land and those fuckers living here who judge people by their skin and not there brain and emotion.

सरकार र दुइ नम्बर व्यापार - Maoist Government Turning Black Money To White


कहि दिन यता, सरकारले आफ्नो कर धेरै जम्मा गर्ने योजना सुनाउने कुरा चल्दा सबैले मावोबादीको योजनाहरु हात्ती आयो हात्ती आयो फुस्सा जस्तै त हो नि भन्ने सोचेका थिए तर योजना सुनवाइ हुँदा सबै चकित परे । अर्थ मन्त्रीले घुमाएर भने, "अब दुइ नम्बरी गरेर कमाएकाहरुलाइ सुवर्ण अवसर, १०% कर तिर्नुहोस् जस्तोसुकै गरेर कमाएको सम्पत्तिलाइ मेहेनतको कमाइ बनाउनुहोस् । भन्सार नै छल्याहोस्, हतियार नै बेच्याहोस् वा अरुको लुटपाट वा जबरजस्ती गरेर जम्मा गरेको होस् केहि फरक पर्ने छैन ।" बोलेका त यहि हुन् अर्थ मन्त्रीले मात्र शब्दहरु मात्र फरक थिए ।

अझ नभएर यो बारे आजकाल विज्ञापन पनि आउन थालेको छ टेलिभिजनमा मह जोडीको । सँधै जनतालाइ जागरुक गराउने विज्ञापनहरुमा मात्र देखापर्ने मह जोडी यस्तो विज्ञापनमा कसरी ? खै यो त उहाँहरुलाइ नै थाहा होला, कि उहाँहरुले यो योजना बारे अलि विचार नपुर्याएर हो ?

जे होस् यो योजनाले त यहि नै स्पष्ट पार्छ कि अहिलेको सरकार त जनताको भन्दा पनि चोर फटाहाहरको सरकार हो । अर्कातिर, यसै योजनाको प्रयोगले मावोबादीले लुटेका, कब्जा गरेका आदि सम्पत्तिहरुलाइ पनि त मेहेनतको कमाइ बनाउने योजना होला नि सरकार हो ।

आशा छ, अर्को चुनाव पछिको अर्को सरकारले यो स्वयम कर योजना अन्तरगतको कर तिराइको छानबिन गर्छ ।

मावोबादी सरकारको हिन्दु धर्म माथि हस्तक्षेप - Politics in Pashupati Nath Temple


मावोबादी जबदेखि सरकारमा छन्, विभिन्न क्षेत्रमा क्रम भङ्गताको कुराहरु समाचार बन्न थालेका छन् । राजनितिको कुरा क्रमभङ्ग हुनुमा हामीलाइ खासै आपत्ती छैन, बरु नराम्रा कुराहरुमा क्रम भङ्गको कुराहरु सुन्न पाए अझ राम्रो हुन्थ्यो । तर काटमार र आतङ्कको बानी लागेका मावोबादीहरुबाट आश पनि के नै गर्न सकिन्छ र ? तर यतिसम्म गर्ला भनेर कसैले सोचेका थिएनन् जतिसम्म आज देख्नु परिरहेका छन् ।

केहि महिना अघि मावोबादी सरकारले इन्द्र जात्रामा हस्तक्षेप गरेको थियो । तब हिन्दु धर्म र त्यस भोटो जात्रामा आश्था राख्ने नेपाली जनताले त्यसको ठूलो विरोध गरेको थियो । र आखिरमा सरकारले त्यस हस्तक्षेपबाट हात पछाडी सारेको थियो ।

तर अहिले आएर, कुकुरको पुछ्छर झै सरकारले फेरि ठूलो गल्ती गरेकोमा हामीले यो सरकारलाइ कसरी बुझ्ने ? र झन् यस पटक त विश्वभरिका हिन्दुहरुको आश्था जोडिएको पशुपतिनाथ मन्दिरको कुरामा मावोबादि सरकारले राजनिति गरेकोमा यो सरकारलाइ कसरी मुल्याङ्कन गर्ने ?

अर्को शब्दमा भन्नु पर्दा, यो मावोबादी सरकारबाट यहि नै बाँकी थियो । अरु सबै जस्ता जनता मार्ने र रुवाउने काम त पहिल्यै गरिसकेका थिए ।

हाल यो सरकारले गरेको कुकर्मको कुरा भन्नुपर्दा, यो विश्वभरका हिन्दुहरुले पुज्ने पशुपतिनाथ मन्दिरको कुरा हो । पशुपतिनाथ मन्दिरमा वर्षौ देखि भारतिय पुजारीहरुले मात्र पुजा गर्ने परम्परा छ । यस्तै परम्परा भारतका विभिन्न मन्दिरहरुमा पनि छन् जहाँ आजपनि मात्र नेपाली पुजारीहरुले मात्र पुजा गर्छन् । यस्ता परम्पराहरु शुभ होस् भन्ने धारणाले पनि मानिदै आएको हो । तर डर धम्कीले देश चलाउने सोच भएका सरकारले यस्तो पवित्र कुरामा पनि राजनिति धुसाएको छ । मावोबादी सरकारकै दबाबले हालका पुजारीलाइ केहि दिन यता राजीनामा दिन लगाइयो भने, अर्कातिर मावोबादी सँग निजिक भएका नपाली पुजारीहरुलाइ नयाँ पुजारीको रुपमा नियुक्ती गरियो । यो हिन्दु धर्म कै विरुध मावोबादीले यो कस्तो राजनिति गर्न खोजेको हो ?

अर्कातिर, मावोबादीकै राजनितिले गर्दा हिजो पशुपतिनाथ मन्दिरमा पुजा भएन जुन पशुपतिनाथको उत्पत्ती दखि आजसम्म कहिल्यै भएको छैन। हिन्दु धर्मगुरुहरु भन्छन्, भगवान पशुपतिनाथको प्राण नै पुजामा हुन्छ र पुजा नहुनु नेपालमा ठूलो खतराको संकेत हो भन्छन् ।

मावोबादी पार्टी सरकारमा आएदेखि सँधै मावोबादी पार्टीले वा यससँग सम्वन्धीत अरु संस्थाहरुले सँधै नराम्रो मात्र गरेको सुनिन्छ । कहिले कांही त सँधै पत्रकारहरुले उनीहरुको नराम्रो मात्र लेखेको जस्तो लागेर हो कि उनीहरुले पत्रकारहरु तथा संचारमाध्यहरु माथी नै हात हालेको जस्तो लाग्छ । तर हरेक चोटी पत्रपत्रिकाहरु पढ्दा त निश्पक्ष समाचार नै पाउँछु । त्यसैले केहि दिन यता मेरो दिमागमा एउटा सोच आयो, मावोबादीहरुले के के राम्रा काम गरेका छन‌् त भन्न बारे । र मैले भटेको कुरा यहा तँपाइहरु माझ प्रस्तुत गर्दैछ ।

Our Hands Are Not Involved - Maoist


Maoist party has always shouted a lot about various things and done just the opposite. Above all comes their shouting for peace and democracy.

We have been hearing their speeches even before their arrival from the jungle when they were called terrorists groups. They have always said bringing peace to the country is their moto; even at those times when they were the only group against peace. But may be they succeeded to fool the us or we trusted them listening only their words and not looking at their work, they are not the government. Yet things haven't change a bit. So, have the peace arrived in our country ? or does democracy have a different meaning to them ?

It's crystal clear to everyone of us that peace seems impossible in Nepal for now and years to come, with maoist party and their youth leagues broadening their hands in killings, kidnappings, threatenings and so on. And at recent times, they haven't even left the Press who are known as the most respected group in any country.

In the past, involvement on any such crimes has been unseen by the government which has supported those involved to dare much more crimes. But a week, Himal Media incident has a different case. Those involved on that crime has been pointed out by the Press Associations and eye-witnesses. Will the government take action against those criminals ? Everyone's watching.

If it don't, then we should be clear about the maoist government that it's against Democracy and Peace. And we, the people of Nepal know what to do with them.

हेलो, मन्त्री ज्यू ठिक भयो त फुटपाथ ?


हालैको कुरा भन्नु पर्छ, हाम्रा मन्त्री बामदेवले जुवाघरहरुमा नेपालीको प्रबेश बन्द गराउने, फुटपाथ सफा राख्ने जस्ता कुराहरु गरेर जनताहरुको अगाडी, अहिलेको गफ मात्र हान्ने सरकारको मन्त्री भएपनि म चै काम पनि गर्छु है भनेर देखाउन खुब खोजे । अर्को शब्दमा भन्नु पर्दा जनताको अगाडी नायकै बन्न खोजे र केहि हदसम्म त सफल पनि भए भन्नुपर्छ । तर...

तर एकाएक, क्यासिनोका कर्मचारीहरुले करोडौंको घुष मागेको कुरा सबुत सहित ल्याउन सक्छौं भनेर विभिन्न संचारमाध्यमहरुमा आएपछि त्यो कुरा त्यसै तुहियो । त्यसपछि आयो फुटपाथको कुरा । फुटपाथ पनि सुरुमा त सफा नै पारे तर अहिले फेरि जस्ताको तस्तै छ । कि मन्त्रीलाइ उनीहरुले पनि डिमान्ड पुर्याइदिए ?

आजभोलि तिनै पहिला फुटपाथ सफा पार्न तम्सिने प्रहरीहरु ति फुटपाथ व्यपारीहरुसँग गफ गर्दै बसिरहेका भेटिन्छन्‌ । हामीले त्यस्तै एक प्रहरीलाइ किन फुटपाथबाट अवैद्ब व्यापार हटाइदैन आजकाल भनेर सोध्दा उनी भन्छन्, त्यतिबेला आदेश थियो अहिले छैन । अझ यो सुन्दा अचम्म लाग्न सक्छ कि, नेपालका विभिन्न नगरपालिकाहरुले पहिल्यै देखि ति फुटपाथ व्यापारीहरुसँग कर उठाउँदै आएका छन् र आज पनि उठाउने क्रम जारी छ ।

त्यो बेला जनताको अगाडी नायक बन्न तम्सिएका मन्त्री ज्यूलाइ हाम्रो मात्र एउटा प्रश्न :

"हेलो, मन्त्री ज्यू ठिक भयो त फुटपाथ ?"

हत्यारा रक्सी र ट्राफिक प्रहरी


20 killed in Nepal school bus accident

KATMANDU, Nepal -- A crowded school bus skidded off a bridge on a highway in southern Nepal, killing at least 20 students and two teachers, police said Friday. At least 57 others were injured.

The bus was returning from a school picnic late Thursday when it plunged off the highway near Mukundapur village, about 125 miles (200 kilometers) southwest of the capital, Katmandu.

Police official Len Pratap Sen said all of the students were teenagers. The 57 injured were treated at several hospitals, Sen said.

An initial investigation indicated the bus was speeding, he said.

Accidents are common in Nepal, where both roads and vehicles are poorly maintained and there are no speed limits on highways.

------------------------------------------------------------

यो समाचार नपढेका वा भनौं यो बारे नसुनेका कमै होला । सानो गल्तीले ती निर्दोषहरुको ज्यान गयो तर सरकारले केहि बोलेन । के साँच्चै सरकारले बोल्नुपर्ने कुनै कुरै थिएन त ? हामी भन्छौं त्यस दुर्घटना हुनुको पछाडी गल्ती वा दोष सरकारको पनि थियो ।

रक्सीको व्यापार व्यवस्थीत भएको दाबी गर्ने सरकारले यो घटनाको मुल कारण नै अवैध रुपमा बेचिएको रक्सी हो भन्ने प्रष्ट हुँदा पनि किन यसबारे केहि नबोलेको ?

अर्कातिर, ट्राफिक प्रहरी र ट्राफिक अनुशासनलाइ काठमाण्डौ मै मात्र सिमित राखेर सरकारले गरेको अर्को भुलको नतिजा पनि हो यस दुर्घटना ।

अझै यस्तै घटनाहरुको समाचार कुरेर बस्ने हो कि यस बारे केहि गर्ने हो सरकारले

Indian Idolमा होइन, जीन्दगीको दौडमा जिताउँ


अघिल्लो वर्ष Indian Idolमा नेपाली भाषी प्रशान्त पुगेका थिए, संसारभरका नेपालीहरुले उसलाइ करोडौ खर्चेर जिताए । त्यस जितमा नेपालीहरुले जहाँ के के नै भएको झैं खुशीयाली मनाए भने उता भारतमा Indian Idol कार्यक्रमकाहरु भने नेपालबाट भोटको रुपमा आएको पैसाले मख्ख थिए । अर्कातिर, Indian Idol नै जितेका प्रशान्तको जीवनस्तरमा हालसम्म पनि कुनै परिवर्तन पक्कै छैन ।

एउटा सानो पर्दाको कार्यक्रममा जिताउनको लागि करोडौं खर्चिनु के उचित थियो त ? के त्यसरी भोटमा खर्चिनु भन्दा प्रशान्तलाइ नै एल्वम आदि बनाउन नगद सहयोग गरेको भए नेपाल र नेपालीको शिर उच्च हुने थिएन ? हुन सक्छ, त्यसबेलाको अनुभव पहिलो चोटि भएर पनि हो, तर यस वर्ष नेपालबाटै भोट गर्न मिल्ने गराएको Indian Idolमा भोट दिएर आफुलाइ मुर्खको दर्जा नदिउँ ।

यस वर्ष हाल सम्म रहेका नेपाली भाषी कपिल थापालाइ Indian Idolमा होइन, उनको जीन्दगीको दौडमा जिताइ, संसारमै नेपाल र नेपालीको शीर उच्च पारौं ।

जय नेपाल

Who's Bam Dev to obey ?

With new government, came trial of new changes. From shutting down dance bars to stopping Nepalese entrance into casinos to cleaning up footpaths, Bab Dev have tried making changes as per their Naya Nepal slogan. But things aren't as clear as it looks.

Protest were on when dance bars were forced to be shut down. During that time, bar workers protest againsted not just against that decision but also against not providing other optional oppertunities. And they when the casino issue came up, people involved in that sector, spoke out in media about most government officials entrance inside those casinos. Some casino management also blamed Bam Dev asking for few crore rupees to run their casinos as earlier days. Such factual blames have made people easy to undersand Bam Dev's hunger for a change. And this has effected the clean up process of the footpaths directly.

Footpaths were seen clean for few days in the beginning. But now it is again changed to as it was ealier. When we asked the footpath business people, they say : "Who's Bam Dev to obey ?"

Peace Impossible Without YCL - Prime Minister


A month back, when the YCL issue was to be addressed by the Prime Minister - Prachanda, he clearly said that peace wouldn't have come in Nepal if there were no YCL. So, shouldn't just break it down." It was a shocking address by Prachanda in the cabinet and people even thought of a better change in the YCL. But it is now much worst.

15-year olds Ritesh Rauniyar and Ashish Manandhar disappeared on November 15. Actually, there were kidnapped by the YCLs as per those who saw the incident live. Their family were made helpless by the police also because of the incident was done by YCLs, a government running maoist party followers. Yesterday- Nov 26, their dead bodies were recovered from a jungle in Gumalchowki, Thankot. And the so-called police force are still acting like statues.

Is this what maoist government and police force under them is all about. ? Is this what YCL will be doing forever ? If it is, we, the people won't just sit and watch. And maoist leaders beware, "We the people are the one who brought you where you are now, and we have the power to throw you people out from there into a shit.

And YCLs, enough is enough. Don't take our patience as fear.

Naya Nepal Ko Politics, Maoist Style


With slogans of 'Naya Nepal' as the hottest happening, Nepal has now seen a never seen before style of politics in recent years. And those making it happen are the communist party, Maoist.

Still labeled as terrorist in USA, maoist party have been playing games since they came out from the jungle stopping their violence. And it hasn't stopped yet. So, what actually their style ?

There's a well-known proverb of "Two Tongues". But it has never been used on politicians, as though they never used fullfill their promises, they used to promise same to everyone. But maoist politicians in a hurry to do something different are doing extra ordinary, are speaking different things at different places and situations. Their speeches differs on every place they go. They speak about new homes and free education infront of poors, they speak about throwing poor foothpath business people infront of retailers. They speak about border protection infront of the people living at Nepal-India borders, but while visiting India they thank India for bullshits. They speak about illegal entrance of Nepalese in Casinos, behind that they ask for crores for not doing it for the casino owners. They speak for peace and security, but they are still killing people.

Actually, there are thousands of proofs about maoist being two tonguers. May be that's their style.

Nepali Models Nude Pictures - Why Fake ?


We have been hearing about NAYA NEPAL few months before the recent election. Though there hasn't been such changes in the country to call itself a newer one, there has definitely been drastic development in some sectors. Among them is Modelling sector. Nepali women who used live most of their life inside her house are now free as bird, and now are flying higher than men can even think of.

Recent years has been a blast for models and those who love watching them their way. Good or bad, models are now treating themselves like in hollywood. We barely see them wearing full clothes, wearing a national dress, GUNYO CHOLO is a daydream. With semi-nude pictures of most of the models, those in a sari are hardly believed as models.

Yet, questions becomes headlines when fake nude pictures and videos are spread out. But why ? Are originals any different than fake ones ? Models are now posing almost nude for glamour websites. Topless pictures has been a trend. Even those who can't dare are crossing the limits as a Nepali. There are pictures of models with no Bras, and some throwing the TOPs. Aren't those pictures as nude as fake pictures and MMS ?

Why Fake then ?

Nepal Isn't Just Kathmandu - Governent Still Bias

This is a issue brought long back by the nepali people living out of the capital city. Whoever comes in the government has been biased about it and those calling themselves as politicians of the poor, Maoist are doing the same again.

Recently, the government announced to clean up of the footpath businesses as footpaths are made for people to walk. But even in such issue, the government has proven itself bias. Footpaths of Kathmandu looks fresh now, with no thelaz and other footpath business disturbing the traffic. It's quiet good to see it. But people here in the capital city don't know that, elsewhere it hasn't change a bit. It's still the same. Government isn't giving its full effort to clean up the country's foothpath. It's just revolving around Chitwan. Why do government forget that whole country votes on any election ?

Government need to think it quick, or this new ones won't be different from those old parties. On the other hand, maoist party running the government shouldn't also forget most of those who voted on their favour on the last election were poors which also includes foothpath business people.

British Council Affiliates & Monopoly



Because of Nepal's political condition and as a trend, Nepali students are going abroad and the numbers are increasingly rapidly. Taking such condition into consideration, British Council affiliates who conduct British Council's are running a monopoly market.

British Council is one of the biggest name, which results its affiliates to stand ahead compared to others in various terms. One such in IELTS preparation. British Council affiliates or Exam centers in many places of Nepal are acting like a branch of British Council and on the other hand, conducting IELTS classes. This has made the students think that, it's the British Council who's organising the preparation classes, though it isn't true.

Yet again, these days, those exam centers have updated some of their policies. One of those is, those who join their preparation class must also do their abroad study processing from their institution only. Isn't it an unfair monopoly being done by such reputed firm (British Council Affiliated Institution) ?

Isn't British Council responsible for it ? If this matter is taken into consideration, British Council shouldn't allow their affiliates to run any IELTS preparation classes or any abroad study counciling center.
We hope British Council will understand the gravity of the matter and bring a change very soon.

फेरि फकिए राम बहाढुर


Photo Coourtesy: Annapurna Post

नाम सुन्दा को हो र जस्तो लाग्छ तर नव बुद्ध भन्नासाथ सबैको याद ताजा हुन्छ । हो केहि वर्षयता देश तथा विदेश मै ठूलो तहल्का मच्चाउने राम बहादुर बम्जनको कुरा हो यो । ध्यान गर्न गाह्रो भएको भन्दै अचानक गायब भएका राम बहादुर हालै फेरि देखा परेका छन् । अब सत्य तथ्य खोज्ने कि -

जंगलको बीचमा केहि सेवन नगरी ध्यानमा बसेर आफुलाई गौतम बुद्धको अवतारको रुपमा चिनाउने, राम बहादुर केहि दिन यता अचानक देखापरेर सबैलाई दङ्ग पारेका छन् । तर के साच्चै उनी बुद्धको अवतार नै हुन् त - केहि भन्छन् यो कलियुगमा कुनै अवतारको जन्म हुनु असम्भव छ र केहि भने उनी साच्चै बुद्धको अवतार मन्दै पुजा गर्ने तथा दान दिने गरि रहेका छन् । अर्कातिर अहिलेका बै ज्ञानिका युगकाहरु यसलाई केवल ढोङ्गको रुपमा हेछन् ।

तथ्य हेर्ने हो भने, राम बहादुर पहिलो चोटि गायब हुनु अघि उनलाई चढाइएको र दान पेटिकामा दान दिएको रकम करोडौं थियो । त्योबारे अहिले कोहि केहि बोलेको छैन र कतिलाई याद पनि छैन । कहाँ गयो त त्यत्रो पैसा ? केमा प्रयोग भयो होला अर्कातिर, शान्तिको खोजीमा ध्यान बस्दै आएका राम बहादुर, अहिले अचानक आएर स्टेजमा माइक समातेर प्रवचन गर्न थाल्नुलाई के भन्ने ?

यसबारे सरकारले पनि केहि छानबीन गर्ने होकि ? अनि, जनता आफै पनि जागरुक हुन जरुरी छ ।

Music Video Directors - VJs - Help !


Few years back, Nepali music video was at its golden period. There's no second thought on it. But instead of development on this field, people are pushing it backward esp. in terms of quality. And the reason is quiet simple. It's the VJs.

When a music video is ready for airplay, VJs are the one to decide which plays when and how many times. And, since music video is what makes a album successful or trash, VJs play vital role in any artists' career. Seeing such open oppertunity and because of their greed, VJs are directing music videos.

VJs are meant to host a television program, and not to direct anything. Frankly speaking, nepali VJs hardly know what music video direction is, but they do direct videos. On the other hand, music artists and bands have no other option than video with them because if they make video with any other serious music video director, the VJs wont' play their song on television channels.

Yet both ways, artists and bands are suffering. VJs can't make good music videos and serious director made ones won't be played in channels. So, what can be done ?

No Nepali This Time - Indian Idol


We all know what Indian Idol is all about, as last year Nepalese worldwide spent more than Rs.50 Crore for Prashant Tamang to make him a winnner. So, whom are you going to vote this year ?

On the third season of the Indian Idol, a boy from the Gorkhaland made history winning the title. Frankly speaking he wasn't a Nepali though. He was speaking Indian. Loads of vote came from Nepalese worldwide. But this season, it's a different story.

This year, there's any Nepali speaking indian in the IDOL. No Tamang or Giri or any with Nepali alike cast. So, will Nepalese worldwide vote this time ? If yes, this can result few Crores for the Indian Idol organisers. But who'll they vote ? There's no nepali speaker or alike.
