July rain soothes summer heat in the himalayan kingdom
Once more we feel that Nepal is the country of Mount Everest.
Nepal has finally cooled down after the sun tan of summer. Temperature had elevated to 44.2 degrees celsius, which is the highest known temperature reading in
the kingdom of Nepal. Having to endure such a hot weather, I was beginning to wonder if Nepal was the country of Mount Everest. But now the weather is swell.
The rain fall has finally arrived in
Kathmandu, the capital city, and released the discomfort. There may be more reasons behind the high temperature- increasing pollution in
Nepal. If Nepal government and each individual Nepali doesn't start taking precautionary measures, Lord
Pashupatinath save us...........

Nepali web industry is lagging behind in practicing latest internet trends. Its been ages since the concepts of blogging,
SEO,
podcasting and numerous such new innovations have hit the global web industry, but for
Nepal, these terms are completely unknown.
Its not that, there isn't anyone in
Nepal, who is aware of the new waves in the web (as I personally, have got the oppertunity to discuss with few of them) but the number is almost negligible.
There may be a completely different perspective to the situation. A large part of nepalese web industry depends on outsourcing done by US, India and other major IT players as Nepal itself doesn't have large web market. And the outsourced jobs are normally laborous in nature rather than requiring innovative skill.

Increase in International Interest
Current Nepalese government, formed under His Majesty's special authority, is accused with serious allegations of trying to rule out the participation of political parties. Various international organizations such as
AMNESTY has applealed to ban arms supply to Nepal.
Although, the situation in the capital city has become more peaceful, atrocity in other parts of the country has worsen. There was certain increase in successful maoist activities
after the state released the post-paid mobile service within the country.
