Something About The Radiant Star
For the co-founder of United We Blog!, the pioneering blogging site of Nepal that has established itself as a very popular medium of expression freedom, its looks absurd for me to begin a new blog. But popularity comes with a cost – the popularity of UWB! and the situation made it all political blog (I…

Wishes for Peaceful Dashain!
A year ago, on Oct 19, 2004, I blogged at UWB! wishing all a peaceful Vijaya Dashami. I had used peaceful instead of happy because we believe peace will make all Nepalis happy. I wish/pray this Dashain will give all Nepalis their lost dreams back.

Will My Mobile Ring?
This is an absurd question today for many because almost all post-paid mobile phones are ringing. But for me, a man happy with the pre-paid mobile, it’s an important question. My mobile is dead for more than six months, I had almost thought of buying a post-paid one. But an advertisement in newspapers by Nepal…

A Cup of Tea With Rabindra Mishra
Rabindra Mishra, a Nepali journalist associated with BBC World Service, is no new name for the Nepalis around the world. Though many of us may not recognize his face, but we had surely heard him speaking. He has been working in BBC for 10 years now. For many of us, the masters level students of…
