Moutain Flight: A Unqiue Experience
That’s beautiful, isn’t it? The photo was taken from a Buddha Air airplane during a 45-minute mountain flight on February 13, Friday [scary date to go on mountain flight!] Two times before the date, I had returned from airport without flying because of the weather. But this time, despite being on the date that many

A Day to Remember!
Since leaving Kantipur Publications [The Kathmandu Post], I have been busy because I was involved in a new online news project of Dhumbarahi Media Pvt. Ltd. Sometimes so busy that many asked me what I was doing in an office of newspapers that are yet to publish. Today, we launched the beta version of the

Bye Bye Kantipur!
Changes are inevitable! Despite the fact that we fear the change for a sole reason that everything set into current track of life has to be modified. I still remember how hard it was for me to leave my first job, teaching, to join Nepal Samacharpatra daily in late 2000. For more than a month,

Once again, Nepalis surprised themselves. The Maoists sweep (still to complete but it is confirmed that the Maoists will establish itself as the leading party in the Nepal CA Election as they are way ahead than any other political outfit of Nepal) was something that the political analysts, media and leaders failed to predict. Nepalis

Nepal Votes Peacefully
Nepalis continue to surprise themselves… and the World. Didn’t we? Today, Nepalis thronged at the voting booths to cast their votes in the Constituent Assembly Election that surprised almost everybody (the preliminary assessment is more than sixty percent vote casted). And, moreover, it went peaceful. Despite the Young Communist League (YCL) behaviors, poll boycott calls

The Fear is Still On!
It’s 5 PM now, and the voting for the CA election in Nepal begins exactly after 14 hours. Ten hours after that – it closes, if without major incident, then in next 24 hours, Nepalis will be celebrating one of the most important success of their lives. Isn’t that great? Certainly, it is. But there

Sense of Humor or Senseless Humor
[Once again, I am going to write about Prachanda, the Maoist supremo, and I am afraid this is not something his admirers will like to read. Actually, this is my feelings about him after listening to him for 15 minutes in a press conference organized at the Annapurna Hotel today.] Prachanda’s press conference at Hotel

That’s Why We Don’t Want King
I was invited for the Nepali adaption of George Bernard Shaw’s The Apple Cart by director Yubaraj Ghimire. I had once tried to read the drama itself, but couldn’t find enough energy to complete it so I just read a long summary of it and thought it was a Monarchist drama. I was surprised when
