Online Personality

There has been phenomenal changes in the way the communication is done these years form the way our parents communicated, I still remember being relied on telegram to communicate with my father when he was in remote district of Nepal, and now i can play live game with my friend who is 300 miles away from my place. The chats, social networking sites has revolutionized the communication these days.

After i first chatted with few people then later meet them, i felt a tremendous difference between their online personality and their face to face personality. I felt they are quite frank and talkative online but in person they are reserved and shy. I used to think the facebook profile, chats, emails are reflection of the personality. But i am not sure if my belief really upholds in reality.  Is online personality really different than the “real” person?  Or Is it just time taken to “open up”?

Nepal Farm

I read really good book this weekend “Animal Farm” George Orwell. I could not leave this book once i started, I liked this book because it has portrayed a clear picture of current situation of Nepal. I could just one to one map the characters of the story to the characters of Nepalese politics.  There are numerous examples in the story where i can just relate to a recent incident in Nepal, what a coincidence!!! Written in early 1940s, we are practicing this master piece in early 21st century right in my country.

My country has already seen three revolutions in 5 decades. The pigs are changing, in 2007 BS it was King Tribhuvan, In 2047 BS it were political parties and now the pig is Maoists. Nevertheless all four foot creatures have finally converted to “two legged”.

The pigs stage revolution by slogans of equality, justice denouncing the previous ruler as symbol of injustice. After revolution succeeds then the Pigs are rulers. Then the equality rules is translated to “Some animals are more equal than others”.  The Pigs use imaginary return of the previous ruler to make public comply with their decisions. If anybody managed to raise voice against them then the “agent of injustice” would be executed “for Justice and equality”.  The  pigs enjoy “Milk and Apples” of the farm for “Justice and Equality”. With dogs guarding the pigs’ rooms no one would dare to raise voice. The Nepali Pigs are trying to get rid of other dog “Nepal Army” to make their dog dominant.

Castro in Cuba, Guddafi in Libya are few other examples of pigs in World’s political map who have managed to rule for a long time. The revolutions do not good to people, it’s just “Mission Impossible” for normal people to benefit.  You have to be one of the pig who knows politics to get benefit from revolutions.

I don’t think this is against communism itself, but most of the pigs happened to be Communist. Nepal is a perfect example of inclusive set of pigs.

Mixed-Vegetable Soup

I am fond of food , i like to experiment with recepies found all over the internet and tweak it. Sometimes goes right some times goes wrong, and some times i can’t say whether that went right or wrong. I tried mixed vegetable soup it went right.

This is healthy with all fibers and almost no fat. Can be served with some toasted Italian bread or pasta. I guess this won’t have calorie more than 50 calories.

I tried following

Ingredients:

1. lentils ( 2 table spoon)

2. Spinach

3. sweet peas

4. broccoli

5.  garlic (2 cloves)

6. Onion

7. Mushroom

8. oil (as less as you can)

9. tomato.

10. Salt and Black pepper

Procedure:

Heat oil in a pressure cooker, after oil is heated add chopped garlic. make the garlic brown and add chopped onions. When onions are golden brown, it’s ready for all vegetables to be added. Add some salt and fry for a while. Add black pepper, water and  pressure cook for 5-10 minutes. Let pressure go off itself. Garnish it with greens and you are ready to go.

Starkville Snow

A friend who is notorious for his nocturnality, called me at 7:30 morning. I reluctantly said “Hello”, he excitedly said “Hey man!! open your window, it’s snowing man”. I opened the blind, it was white everywhere. I have been here for almost 2 years, Pooja is here for almost 3 years, we had never seen such a scene. Though it’s common to get annoyed with snow in northern part of United States, it was like like feast for us. we grabbed camera and went outside and started clicking, everybody else was doing same . Some managed to make snowman, but we didn’t dare to touch. Our car was covered with snow, everything whitest white. It felt good with early morning surprise, but i don’t wish to get “surprised” everyday. It’s horribly cold. The pictures are here

democracy Phobia

We celebrate democracy day twice a year. Though synonymous to each other, it’s democracy day in February and Loktantra diwas in April In this regard, we should have been the most democratic state in the whole world ironically, we are not. Rather, after almost 55 years of first tasting the democracy, we are still struggling to have stable democracy.  Whether it’s Kings or political parties, each opportunity to stabilize country was missed. Mahendra, Birendra, Gyanendra, Girija, Madhav are to be named a few. They just surrendered countries stability, to their own power and wealth monger.

I try to not write about politics but politics has overshadowed everything in my country that what ever i think ends up in politics. If I think of going home forgetting everything and restart from within my relatives and family this freaking politics won’t let me work. Some times i think of starting politics on my own , but what the heck, i can contribute better striking keys of computer rather than convincing people think, what i believe.

oh!! i was about to write something about democracy. Recently, UML had it’s general convention in Butwal. And two of its leaders put forward their candidacy of the president of party. Everybody was trying to convince one of “the other” to withdraw, but in vain. Reports came some threw stones to one of the candidate for not withdrawing. I didn’t understand why a ‘democratic’ party was so scared of election. Election is a democratic procedure, where people elect person who they believe will do better for them.Why would election split a party ?

On the other hand, the oldest party, and self declared “only guard of democracy” of Nepal, took ten months to decide on it’s parliamentary group statutory. Why so long? One freaking question haunted whole party, Who the hell elects the deputy leader of the group? what a question to get stalled for the guard of democracy?

Nepali parties do not have democracy practise on it’s own, how can we believe that the democracy florish in country? We often get hostile to kings for obstructing the path of democracy, but parties are more to blame for. If a dog puts bone aside and fight with other dogs, then if bone gets lost, who to blame? Parties need to cure their demcracy phobia first to get going with country. Nepal has a long way to go before stability. I wish this long way won’t go through bigger humane disasters witnessed in Africas. We have numerous examples though out the world the democracy got in trouble before stabilizing, can’t we just do some case study and learn something before reinventing the wheel again?

MonsterQuest

Nepali newspapers are filled with news of a “big foot”. The monster especially targets our dear Maoists leaders. This devil is to blame for all the problems that we Nepalese has been facing. YES!!!! all the problems.

Of course, it is the big-foot who hypnotize our prime-minister to buy Rs.1 crore land cruiser while Mr. Dahal would have walked from baluwatar to singha durbar if there was no security issue. It is the monster who is responsible for the introduction of ordinances in spite the parliament session was just few weeks away. The biggest reason this monster has to be shot to death is “this is stopping our government to work for people”.

This beast is more dangerous than any other beast ever discovered in this planet. But how the hell, the Maoists did not find it in 10 years when they were roaming around forests of Nepal. They should have shot with their AK 47 right at head so that it would not have stopped our fav. leaders to work for us. Nevertheless, we are World famous in Nepal for our bravery, we can kill this beast to get rid of all the problems. To hunt down this beast we still have to get the answer of last question “where”, so where the hell is this monster? We can use state-of-art GPS navigator to get to the beast in sea or land or in between we can track down this. Still not a single lead in this monster quest? not a clue? may be our leaders are the disguised monster, who inherited “monsterness” in their “previous life”
ah !!!! so we need to find the monster if it has inherited some human nature.. so that we can put it in “Singha-durbar” Anyway, the Monster quest continues…….

Nischal

Mass producing Terrorists

Israel announced uni-lateral true in Gaza. After more than 21 days of destruction finally, the sound of torpedoes may be silent but the  crying grief-stricken Palestinians may take years for silence.  Hundreds of “innocent” people dead, thousands handicapped for life. Can any body think what might be going on in a Palestinian’s mind ? What will one do if somebody killed his/her love ones, destroyed his/her house when he/she has nothing to do with it?

For “few” extremists, Israel has punished thousands of innocent people, consequently mass producing  terrorists. In this way, the middle-east will be peaceful only when it is empty. Killing is never a solution to a killings. Powerful nations’  leaders are overlooking numerous recent examples. Has Iraq stabilized using force? Talebans are strengthening with record number recruitment.

Gandhi’s word “An eye for an eye, and the whole world would be blind”  perfectly fits in this case, so let’s make world a better place. Let’s make world a better place to live in, terrorism can’t be annihilated using military, let’s treat using human as human. No human life is precious than the others. Stop mass producing terrorists

पतनतर्फ़ माओबादी

हिजो माओबादीले हिमाल मिडियामाथि  गरेको आक्रमणले,  उनीहरूले अझै  पुरानो संस्कार छोड़न सकेका छैनन भन्ने कुरा प्रस्ट भएको छ | म त झन तेती बेला छक्क परें, जती बेला माओबादीको उग्र नेता मोहन बैध्य (किरण)ले “त्यो मजदूरलाई पुनर्बहाली नगर्नेहरुलाई कारबाही गर्नु पर्छ” भने | त्यो किरण भन्ने अहिले सम्म जंगल राज नै छ भन्ने भ्रममा छ जस्तो छ | ज्ञानेंद्रले जे गल्ती गरेर अहिले पतन भयो त्यही गल्ती अब माओबादीले गर्दै छ, र गल्ती हो जनतालाई मुर्ख ठान्नु !!
दिल्लीका मालिकहरुको बोलीले कट्टुमा मुत्ने माओबादीले जन-गणतंत्रको कुरा गर्नु जनतालाई मुर्ख ठान्नु को सबै भन्दा ठुलो उदहारण हो | यसरी नै थर्काएर २१ औ सताब्दीमा देश चलाउने सपना देखेको छ यदि माओबादीले भने जनतालाई मुर्ख ठान्ने माओबादी कत्तिको पटमुर्ख रहेछ भनेर भन्न मलाई शब्दको खाँचो भयो | अहिलेको जमानामा आफुले सम्मान पाउन अरुलाई सम्मान गर्नु पर्छ, आफ्नो अधिकार खोज्नु भन्दा पहिला तेस्ले अरुको अधिकार त हनन गरेको छैन भनेर २ चोटि सोच्नु पर्छ | जसरी बेलायतको राज परिवारले देशमा मात्र होइन, जनताको हृदयमा पनि राज गरेको छ, र त अहिले सम्म आफ्नो अस्तित्व बचाउन सफल छ, नत्र छ्ड्थे होला बेलायेतीले !! यो कुरा ज्ञानेंद्रले बुझेन अनि जानु पर्यो बनबास, त्यही कुरा माओबादीले पनि बुझे जस्तो लागेन, अब फेरी केबादी आउने हो ?
मलाई हामी नेपाली जनताको भाग्य देखेर पो दिक्क लागेर आउँछ, जस्तोलाई चुनाबमा जिताए पनि, ग़लत मान्छे | एउटा राम्रो नेता ज़न्माउन नसकेको रहेछ जस्तो लाग्न थाल्यो मलाई त !! एत्रो लडाई गरेर आएकाहरु केहि केहि त राम्रै गर्लान जस्तो लागेको त्यो मलाई त चुनाब पछि, थुइक्क मेरो बुद्दि !!!!!

Suicidal Remedial Action

“In what appears to be an alternative approach to reduce the never-ending problem of power outage, the cabinet on Monday decided to set up 200-megawatt capacity diesel plant, considering what it called the “emergency situation of national electricity”.  Finally the wait is over. Nepal has decided to set a diesel power plant.

I still remember “Nepal is second richest in water resources” taught in my school, and i have no doubt Nepal is the worst hit by petro-crisis, where does this two things match with “the diesel plant”.  These Nepalese politicians have no vision, they are spending on product that is 7 times expensive that the hydro. Why don’t they think of setting up small hydro? Nepal is already bankrupt thanks to  “bail out” money she is getting from other nations. Oh Gosh !!! This is one of the most pathetic unwise..F***ing decision i have ever heard of..Have they forgotten that we have to transport diesel on trucks..

ah i forgot..they can suck the commission from diesel purchase…oh, i can’t bear this any more..200MW diesel plant..in Nepal….Should i cry or laugh ?? What a shame…

Reversing the Evolution

Last week, the world witnessed a devastating attack on Mumbai, unarguably it is a crime against humanity. This is the latest sign that the world is turning dangerous to live in. The world has turned to a mess of hate, cruelty, inhumanity. Humanity has lost its essence of humanity, love. Slowly we are going back to our ancestors (Monkey) reversing the mental evolution. Now, how India reacts to the attacks ? There have been voices raised in India about right to keeps guns (as in US) to protect themselves (?). The numerous fatalities over petty issues in the United States (latest to be in a ToysrUs store in CA) should be taken into consideration before any serious mistakes are done which will make our world more dangerous than ever. The politics of revenge should stop, politics over corpse should end, we should pass some remains of humanity to next generation. No human life is more precious than the other, Live and let others live.
