An interesting email forward The Ant works hard in the withering heat all summer building its house and laying up supplies for the winter. The Grasshopper thinks the Ant is a fool and laughs & dances & plays the summer away. Come winter, the Ant is warm and well fed. The Grasshopper has no food or shelter so he dies out in the cold. Modern Version The Ant works hard in the

I got this article from a friend of mine as an email forward. I never imagined that just of sight of MoMo could be so evoking but we are a generation raised on MoMo... For the love of MO:MO Recently a friend of mine told me that, you are not Nepali if you don't like Narayan Gopal and mo:mo ...quite random! but still how true, right ?...so, i had no choice but to try my hand on making mo:mo

Another Dashain ended with nothing much in its share, except for the usual - paying once-in-a-year visits to the seniors; "Tika taalo"; shuffling marriage and flush decks; pouring beer and whisky in each others' glasses. Kathmandu Valley is generally packed with people flowing in from all parts of the country and is excessively overcrowded just before Dashain. But suddenly, just a couple of

Some make their family proud; some make their country proud and yet it is nothing compared to those who transcend the social and geographic barriers and make the whole humanity proud. Nepal has witnessed the generosity and humanitarian passion of few great people. They gave their wholeheartedness for the welfare of economically and socially challenged people of Nepal and Nepal returned them with

Not many days have passed since the violent anti-reservation protests in India shook the whole nation. Student bodies from All India Institute of Medical Studies (AIIMS), Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs), the Indian Institutes of Management (IIMs) and other central institutions of higher education all joined their hands to annul the Quota system in specialization and professional

I have been an Azzurri fan since the days I did not understand the offside rule. The favorites always managed to push their way through to the semis and at times even to the grand finale but never managed to emerge out with the golden figurine within their grip. Deja vu was a French term they said but the Italian performances in the world cup was suggesting otherwise. Every time there was the

Yes that is right - a Worldcup fever. Watching football, night after night, up to 2:30 am until my neighbor's psycho rooster, following an overly adjusted day-light saving schedule blows its cock-a-doodle-doo alarm in its somnambulation; these football matches are giving me a real fever. But I have got no repentance. Afterall, it is holier than holy Koran; longer than Dashain and Tihar holidays;

After remaining underground for over a decade, Prachanda has finally emerged out of the "jungle" and dropped into the houses of Nepalese people through Kantipur Channel. There was nothing extra-ordinary about the man and that, I thought was extra ordinary. As expected he had better eloquence power than most of the top leaders of Nepal (without such skills he wouldn't have been able to convince/

Yesterday - 27th April, 2006 - Khula Mucha was overloaded with people, listening and supporting anti-monarch speeches, songs and poems from party leaders and local artists. The spot is within 1000 meters radius from the Royal Palace but the people were rebuking against the Monarch. More violent their expressions, more appreciation they were receiving from the mass. I am extremely sure that there

11:40 pm 24th April, 2006 - A sudden shrieks of whistles and cacophony of people shouting and clapping filled the chill midnight air of Kathmandu. The waiting for more than an hour, the news has flowed into my ears too. I jumped out of my seat and ran out to roof. I was not the first... I saw my neighbors on top of my house and he was saying - "Raja pani hero bhayo, Girija pani hero bhayo" (Both

7:00 pm Friday, April 21, 2006 - After a series of agitation, violence and speculations, King Gyanendra has finally stepped down and has asked the Seven Party Alliance to recommend a person, with common approval, for the post of Prime Minister. Till then, the current government will occupy the office. I see a lot of influence from the recent visit by Mr. Karan Singh, India's special

Article by Amit As I had written earlier, the king is a desperate businessman. He either wants to maximize the profit, or liquidate the business. But, he doesn't realize that good businessman always averse risk and look for the long term sustainability of his business. So, he's definitely gambling away his throne and troubling the people of Nepal. And his financial calculator (in Srijan's term)

Wishing World Peace to all of us Happy Nepali New Year 2063 Hope the New Year sees few changes in Nepal. 1. Peaceful country, where we can roam around in the middle of the night without any sort of fear. 2. Impartial news channel accommodating both (Kantipur and NTV) version of news. 3. New faces in command of the political parties. 4. End of load-shedding

Article by Amit Sharma Do our Royalties read news papers? Do they tune FM news? Then why the king is so silent when the street is deafening with people shouting slogan against the king himself. It's really disgraceful to be unpopular to this extent. Now, after seeing the four days of agitation, I have come to believe that the present king is definitely different from his late brother and he is

Dear All, Saw this movie ''Rang de Basanti". It may sound funny but sincerely, after childhood days, for the first time I really got inspired by a movie. I really started to think about Nepal and the political crisis continuing. Lack of interest in country's system and adequate patriotism prevails in Nepal too, I felt that. That doesn't imply that the solution is to kill someone as shown in the

Heavy showers of water were dropping on the roads even through there was no rainfall. Today, even air had color because holi was in the air. From about 9 in the morning, holi started. The whole ambience was echoing with laugher and screams. People covered with abir, with red faces and red clothes, where roaming around the town as carefree as ever and those with water-ambush were throwing buckets

The clock stroke 9 and there was a black out, as cruel... as punctual as death. And there was a loud collective cry of anguish from the whole locality. Many still do not know about the exact schedule of load-shedding and thus every time it occurs, people unexpectedly loose their business; miss their favorite TV Serial; are forced to go to bed; and thus they add few more sentences to the

Babas at Pashupatinath Temple in ShivaRatri Pashupatinath, the name implying him as the lord of all the living beings, is considered as the national deity of the only Hindu kingdom. Even our kings are used to recalling his name at the end of their addresses to the people. Today was "MahaShivaRatri", the day when Lord Pashupatinath a.k.a. Shiva was believed to be born. So there was an absolutely

February 21, 2006- On the way to my workplace, I was amazed by the volume of crowd I encountered near Dashratha Rangashala, the national stadium. These days it is not a new sight as such masses are quite often seen on the streets protesting against the current government. But this time it was different. They were there as spectators of the Martyr's Memorial San Miguel League "A" Division Final

Had heard a lot about voting but never had an experience. Well, this was my chance. A perfect voting day for me... Government holiday, voting spot within a hundred yard distance from my door and a familiar local brother as a candidate. Couple of years back, I hated politics and didn't even want to talk about it. Thus, obviously, did not vote even when no one was against it. You may wander what
