My Name Is CORONA

“There is no denying the fact that I have created a rumpus all over the world. Some of the countries of East Asia did not suffer too much initially because of wearing masks, washing hands frequently and greeting each other by bowing or doing Namaste rather than shaking hands.

Book Availability – Necessity Or Anachronism?

What happens in countries such as USA, UK or even India where books in English are published is that a hard cover book will be selling rapidly for a couple of weeks and perhaps after a couple of months the sales will taper off.

In The Throes Of Lockdown

We Nepalis have a great tendency to dance and make merry. It is a good trait and definitely better than being glum and immobile.

When & Where Was Ram Born?

The feeling in Nepal is that it PM Modi in his travels around the world can periodically state that ‘Buddha was born in India’ then that there was not much wrong in our PM saying that ‘Ram was born in Nepal’

Corridors And Passageways

A resolution of the current spat between India and Nepal would be to designate the road built by India going across the Nepali territory stretching to Limpiadhura be utilised by pilgrims from India to traverse via Nepali territory to reach Kailash-Mansarovar in Tibet as the Lipulekh Corridor

How Much Land……….

It was in the Russian setting that Leo Tolstoy wrote his story ‘How much land does a man require?’ This story is of a Russian farmer named Pakhom who boasted that any land that he had, even the Devil would not be able to take away from him.

Energy Usage – An About Turn

Following the downfall of the Rana oligarchy, Nepal wished to open its doors by land and air to the outside world as the rights of landlocked countries was not in vogue then!

Country Roads, Take Me Home

A recent breaking news is that Dibesh Pokharel (stage name Arthur Gunn), born on 24th Oct. 1997 (UN Day) in Nepal, has achieved fame by becoming the first Nepali to secure the position of ‘Runners Up’ for the eighteenth season of the American Idol competition.

Lockdown To Locked In

Of course, there is no copyright in names and I remember reading many years ago that there were seventeen Berlins in the US. In fact, there is Kathmandu in Maine too! It seems that people arriving in new lands hanker or long for their previous habitats. Some referred to these new places with the prefix of new.

Bhagwan Bharosa

One has only to think of the destruction of the ancient city of Pompeii in 79 CE by the eruption Mount Vesuvius and of the fatalities caused by the Black Death / Plague of the Fourteenth century.

A Drastic Game Changer On The Scene

We Nepalis have over the years become ‘copy cats’ of our Southern neighbour in that we adopt too easily the vogues of that land that we see on the film screens or read about in the papers.

ODF Country - Is It For Real?

The pronouncement of whether Nepal and India are ODF countries should be taken as the first step in the process of making our environment cleans. It is a process of making our populations aware.

Tired Cows, Oxen & Tender Calves

This has brought to my mind George Orwell's classical work 'Animal Farm'. What if the animals in our farms form Unions? Will the cows withhold the supply of milk from their udders? Will the production of butter and cheese come to a standstill?

MeToo And All That

Another happening in Nepal is that young girls and even mothers undergoing menstruation are made to spend four days in chaupaddi huts, where some have even died is inhuman

Education At Large

The idea is for a whole reorganisation of the educational sector. Currently it is neither ‘Hanseko chal na Kukhurako chal’ as far as educational institutions in this country are concerned. One pertinent issue that needs to be addressed and sorted out is whether institutions should be on regional, read provincial basis or on faculty basis depending on what they teach / instruct on.
