POLITICS and CONSEQUENSES – Shashank Pokharel

Nepali Here and You? – Brinju Thapa

I WISH IF I WERE A PRIME MINISTER OF NEPAL – Simran Shrestha

Let’s make it together – Pooja Shah

    Whenever I go back to my school days, I realize how I used to think that after few years a day would come when the strikes would be brought to the end forever and the country would gain political and economical stability. I had a strong feeling that I would be a part of the country which would be the most fascinating place to live in from each and every aspect and establish itself as the peace loving country once again. Now, looking at the present political and economic scenario of my country, I am forced to question myself, was I really wrong to dream about my country? Was I wrong to dream my country to be politically and economically stable and the best place to live in? I have no idea whom should I blame for the present situation of my country. Each time when I go thr. . .


The Dark Part of my Country – Simran Shrestha

I do not know from where to start – either starts with blaming the pathetic government or uneducated people or uncivilized citizen or human beings with no tail. “No topic” because no words and topic can explain the scenario of current Nepal. Firstly, RIP to all those people who died, may god give power and strength to their family.   I have many questions in my mind and heart. I still do not know from where to start! I have lost my identity and my rights. I thought who am I? Am I a girl or a human being or Newar or Nepali? Everyone is asking their rights- their states but where is my and others innocent citizen rights?  Where are our rights to study, to work, to walk freely, where is our rights? Are not we all Nepali? What are you asking and demanding for- A piece of land. . .


“LOVE: ONE WAY OR OTHER” – Shubhani Jha

    At the very first, let me be clear I am not one of those kinds who madly fall in love and turn poetic. Nor I am among those who can read between the lines of those insanely written love quotes. Neither I belong to the category of fairytale-obsessed girls, who dream of prince charming on a white horse with looks like Tom Cruise and personality like Johnny Depp, among all others, coming to them in the epic Shahrukh khan pose and making another shitty Bollywood masala movie story (no offence). I am kind of different or maybe not, but I surely was, unless I grew up and the things like love, attraction, infatuation and crush made its grand entry with “Her Highness Adolescence” into my life, like any other random teenage girl. Romance is still a source of sitcom for me. . .


“Silence Beneath Me” – Ankit Das

Middle of the night I woke up, Woke up to see what I had, Found nothing except for silence, Hands empty, mind full of abuzz. Still awaited in the dark night, To see what I lost, Heard a voice saying “You were all alone in your journey, journey that led you nowhere”.   Back to senses, felt the silence. The silence that still persisted, Searching for my answers, Answers to question, I rose to myself. Away from my bed, I stood up. Something somewhere I missed, Missed the days, the days of happiness, And the days of togetherness.   I fought everyday, for every single moment, Still was left with silence, Silence existed beneath the days, The days of being myself, With questions haunting me, Sat on my bed with sil. . .


Chennai Super Kings, Rajasthan Royals suspended for two years

In a landmark judgement, the Supreme court of India appointed Lodha panel, on Tuesday, suspended IPL franchises Chennai Super Kings and Rajasthan Royals for a period of two years in connection with the betting and spot-fixing scandals in the IPL. The sentencing panel also meted out severe punishments to Gurunath Meiyappan and Raj Kundra and banned them for life from all BCCI-related cricket activities.

The committee also reasoned that the verdict wouldn't particularly affect the players associated with the concerned franchises. "The players are free. They will not be attached to a particular team of the . . .


Find Hostels Online : Merohostel.com

Merohostel.com, as the name suggests, is a website built to provide information about hostels in Nepal. Bidish Acharya had this idea and started this project alone two years ago. The owner of the hostel he used to live in was the first person to make an investment of NRs. 2000 for the advertisement. From that money, he built a website secondhomenepal.com. He was all excited to get this done. After few weeks, he thought of getting a new domain ‘merohostel.com’ as it seemed catchier. As he didn’t have the money for this, he tried asking his father for the money but was directly refused with a typical, “What nonsense?” So, Bidish took a loan of NRs. 1500 from his hostel owner, with a promise to pay it back in 3 months, and bought the domain. He then thought of visiting another hoste. . .

Yoga reflects peace and tranquility. In this modern age, everyone is so busy and loaded with works that they are always stressed and hyper-tensed.

Nepal is beautiful. It doesn’t need to change. We do.

-UJJWAL THAPA Bagmati, near Sundarijal is refreshingly pure. As we touch it, we start turning it toxic. We need to change our habits. Krishna Mandir in Patan is heart stopping! The houses we have built around it, since, aren’t. We need to re-think what “progress” means. Kathmandu is fresh. Just smell the air as you walk down on its streets at dawn. As the day progresses we turn it into a smog hole. We need to reconsider our life-style. The apples of Mustang are delicious! How many of us have tasted them? Yet we import apples from the US daily. We need to reconsider our priorities. Nepal is peaceful. We sure are provoking it to become increasingly violent. We do Nepal bandhs to install fear in its air. We spread negative news day after day to poison it. We fill it in wi. . .

“LIFE” – Nitika Agrawal

  Life is a mixture of joys and sorrows. There is no one who don’t experience these two aspects of life. Life is difficult, complicated and beyond anyone’s control. But then, we can make it easy by facing each and every situation courageously. Now, coming to what is joy? It is that part of experience in life that we enjoy to the fullest extent but we are not away from sorrows. We experience joy in many stages of our life right from childhood till death. It is said that joy and sorrow are two sides of the same coin. So, in my opinion, joy and sorrow are the part and parcel of life so we cannot neglect the sorrows of our life. Here, we have to make ourselves strong and overcome it. Those who face it very boldly are successful in their life. We become experienced and are ready. . .
