NEPALI YUWA BHELA 2008-11-24 03:27:53 So, you think Nepali youths are clueless when they
have to think about different problems of their own societies??? No way!!!!!
Last week, a discussion program was organized at the Bakery Cafe, Sundhara that saw the participation of Nepali young brains from different sectors like banking, science, media, entertainment, sports, and social organizations.
The participants included Gagan Thapa, D

Convert your 2d images into 3d 2008-11-22 21:47:20 I just happened to come across this innovative web application a few days earlier, while I was surfing the web. It's a website hosted on Stanford University's website - which suggests that Stanford students have been involved in the production of this web app.
To learn about how this website converts two-dimensional images into 3-dimensional, read this research paper.

A Journey to Remember 2008-11-21 09:41:35 Yesterday - the 20th of November, or 5th of Mangsir in Bikram Sambat - is the day on which the Maoists signed the "historic" peace accord. Exactly two years before yesterday, Prachanda and Baburam sat with Girija Prasad Koirala, Madhav Nepal and other leaders and talked of bringing an everlasting peace in Nepal. The peace they talked of then, is still now far from reality. But the violence that wa Read more:Journey

The Prestige 2008-11-21 05:38:41 I am going to talk of a movie that's been one of my besties. I've watched it five times, and don't ever get tired of watching it again and again. It was released in 2006 - a bit old for now, but it's a great movie, and I can't help myself from writing about it.
The Prestige
that I am going to talk about is a film adaptation of the famous book - The Prestige - by Christopher Preist.

World Philosophy Day 2008-11-20 21:37:47 Today is the WorldPhilosophy
Day. Shouldn't we devote some time today to think on some trivial as well as complex things?
I remember a poem that we had to read in around class 9.
What if life is so full of -- (something was here i forgot) and care,
We have no time to stand and stare.
So, take some moment to ponder on your existence today, and ask yourselves a few questions. You might begin wit
Into the Wild 2008-11-19 01:49:16 I want to go into the wild, like Christopher McCandless.
Seems like he became an icon to a lot of people, particularly young people, after he died in course of his life in the wilderness. However, some people in Alaska think McCandless did not die a heroic death, but rather he just died a stupid death - or committed suicide.
He went to Alaskan wilderness without a map (well, he picked up an old
Prachanda - The Real Biography 2008-11-17 20:29:32 This is the real biography of Prachanda. Everything else is fake. So, please take this seriously!
Introduction
Pushpa Kamal Dahal, aka Prachanda, is the current Prime Minister of Nepal. In keeping with the Communist ideology that a man should have two names - one for the public, and one for the party - Prachanda was chosen to identify him within the party. However, for a revolutionary leader Pra Read more:Biography
On Peace TV (and some random thoughts) 2008-11-17 06:09:01 These days I have been listening to the speeches on Peace
TV a lot. Peace TV is a television station that is run by some Islamic Foundation. Dr. Zakir Naik, an Indian by nationality, and a Muslim by religion, seems to be the founder and the chief of this organization, and also the speaker of most of the shows hosted on the channel.
Though named Peace TV, the channel mission seems to be spreading Read more:thoughts

Yin and Yang of Politics 2008-11-14 23:52:20 This is from Taoism. Something that I found interesting!
Yin of Politics
Extolling the elite gives rise to envy
accumulating treasures fosters resentment
if the people do not perceive inequality
they will not be filled with enmity
Thus the wise leader remembers the maxim
bread and circuses yield mass satisfaction
empty their minds, fill their stomachs
strengthen resolve, weaken ambition

Go OBAMA!!!!!!!!!! 2008-11-05 01:45:29 America makes its history. A black person becomes the 44th president of America.
With a new hope, America celebrates the triumph with people from all around the world waiting for Barack Hussein Obama to deliver his victory speech at Grant Park in Chicago.
The nationwide popular vote was remarkably close. Totals from 58 percent of the nation's precincts showed Obama with 51 percent and McCain wi
My Experiences with Arts 2008-11-04 05:04:54 I was never into arts, painting and sketching until the last year. I liked photography but it was not because of the aesthetic reasons - I felt that the life of a photographer working around sexy models would be awesome.
In the spring of 2008, I took an arts course at my college. I skipped a few classes because I hated everything that had to do with drawing. I wasn't good at drawing, whereas ther
Maoists in Bhutan 2008-11-03 00:57:40 BELDANGI REFUGEE CAMP, Nepal:
In a secluded corner of a refugee camp in southern Nepal, Nirmal Chettri outlines his plans for waging a bloody “people’s war” on the tiny Himalayan kingdom of Bhutan

With the intense stare of the ideologically fervent, the 26-year-old said his organisation, the Bhutan Communist Party (Marxist-Leninist-Maoist), was ready to start killing for its cause. He al Read more:Maoists
Stupid Slogans 2008-11-03 00:22:55 I've known that many Nepali political leaders are insane for a long time now. Most of them are preoccupied with their own personal motives rather than anything else. They do not care what they say and advocate for actually aligns with the law of the country. They really don't.
There's this recent issue of the establishment of a committee to oversee the Maoist and the Nepal Army integration. I do Read more:Slogans

Say No to Politically Indoctrinated Soldiers! 2008-10-31 10:22:55 Seems like we are heading into a political deadlock.
The Maoist hardliners want full integration of their military cadres into the mainstream Nepali army.
Other political parties including the NC, UML and MJF are opposed to that idea.
Though they sound unreasonable at times, the NC, UML and MJF have made a valid point regarding this issue. How can you have politically indoctrinated army as the Read more:Soldiers
Black Clouds Over Nepal 2008-10-26 23:03:39 We have already seen months and months of no-progress in the country. The political parties are busy giving speeches about their care for the people and the government’s ministers are busy doing their domestic and international trips. The country hasn’t budged from the problems it had before the government formation.
Dashain, Tihar, Holi and other festivals will come and go in the country but Read more:Black

War on the Casinos! 2008-10-24 22:55:03 I don't like transmitting breaking news but seems like I will this time. Just a few hours ago, starting at around 8 pm, clashes took place between the workers of Annapurna Hotel (well, the casino workers were not the only ones to demonstrate) and the police. The media, especially Avenues TV and Sagarmatha TV are highlighting this news as they have the resources. There's also ABC Channel that's bro

Eschool or Boarding! 2008-10-09 22:51:12 So the other day, I was invited to our neighbor's house late in the evening for dinner. It's been like that for quite some time now. We get invited, go there, put tika, eat, drink (not alcohol, Brahmins all around), be merry and play cards for a while. However, yesterday we didn't put tikas because someone in our long list of "close relatives" gave birth to a son. And, the complex Brahmin traditio Read more:Boarding

Hindu Ideologies in Albert Camus' "The Plague" 2008-12-22 21:50:53 Here is a brief info about The Plague, courtesy Wikipedia.
The Plague (Fr. La Peste) is a novel by AlbertCamus
, published in 1947, that tells the story of medical workers finding solidarity in their labour as the Algerian city of Oran is swept by a plague epidemic.

Sadly, it was the only show I attended, for I did not know about this festival until it was too late. This is very shameful for me because Gurukul is nearer to my house than
Namaste : An American Teen's Look At Nepal 2008-12-19 10:50:19 In the Spring of 2008, Sarah R. Miller from Westlake Village, CA, flies off to Nepal
with a documentary team "to film human rights victims searching for justice, and to learn more about the historic elections that overthrew the monarchy."
In this documentary, she compares her life (and the life in America) to the life of the people in the remote areas of Nepal. She's got nice points, and this do Read more:American

For Nepali Students Applying to the States! 2008-12-19 09:58:56 The author studies in a reputed undergraduate school in the US.
Along with political turmoil comes an unprecedented rise in emigration. People want to go to safe places where their present, and future will remain secure. The recent rise in the number of Nepali students going to the US is, to some extent, reflective of the problems in Nepal. However, there is more to why students choose US. Read more:States
Crazy Oedipus 2008-12-17 09:22:03 I'm sure you have heard about Oedipus and his love for his mother in some of Freud's theories. Here is what it is.
Oedipus is raised as the son of the King of Corinth, Polybus. One day, when he comes to know that King Polybus is not his real father, he counsels an oracle, who tells him that his parents are from the kingdom of Thebes. On his way to Thebes, he encounters King Lauis, who tells him t Read more:Crazy
