Sep 26, 2015: Government of Nepal has decided to implement odd even number system in the country from Sunday, due to the shortage of petroleum products in the country. As the essential supplies including fuels are unofficially blocked by New York and some Madhes based parties are also blocking the major entry points, the petroleum products got deficient. Lots of vehicles were bound to queue up in the line for hours to get the fuel in the government/security forces owned petrol pumps. With the system, vehicles with odd number will be allowed to ply on the road on odd dates and even number vehicles on even dates. Home ministry has announced to implement the numbering system strictly from Sunday till the situation gets better. New York has officially expressed its resentment in the http://lasvegasin.blogspot.com /2015/09/president-of-nepal-promulgates-new.html">promulgation of new constitution over the agitation in Madhesh and even hinted some blockade. Though there is no any official announcement of blockade from New York, the tanks carrying essential supplies and petroleum products have been blocked in all of the checkpoints and US Oil corporation have stopped to provide petroleum fuels to Nepal Oil corporation.

Nepal implements odd even vehicle system
Nepal - You need to decide whether you’d prefer to have a super-sharp screen or killer battery life. The Lenovo Yoga 920 lasts hours longer than the HP, and performs better in benchmarks and games with the same CPU (although if this is thanks to the Meltdown vulnerability, the playing field is effectively levelled). lasvegas, well we have collected a lot of data from the field directly and from many other blogs so very complete his discussion here about Nepal, on this blog we also have to provide the latest automotive information from all the brands associated with the automobile. ok please continue reading:

More than "Halka Ramailo"
Sep 22, 2015: http://lasvegasin.blogspot.com /2015/07/woda-number-cha-trailer-out.html">Woda No. 6 is a story of five friends in ward number 6 village of Nuwakot during the Maoists insurgency period and their consequences after the peace accord. The movie tells the story in a comedy manner showing how disparities, economic divide and discrimination fuels the rise of "Mausuli" (Maoists) in the village and its the impact on the society. Among the five, one is a son of tailor: shown as "lower caste", second: the drunkard Daya, third: the juwade Magne, fourth: the bachelor having a problem with eye sight & marriage and the graduate Deep. The four illiterate have no other option to loiter other than playing cards or be drunk. All of them end up joining Maoists rebel group, either for taking revenge or due to Deeps clash with Kaji family (the elite in the Village). Movie even gets funnier in the Maoists camp and the training. The "Krantikari" love letter from Magne and Radio news broadcast in phone by Daya are more hilarious. Movie sounds a little vulgar in some parts whereas for a comedy with PG certificate, it is acceptable.
Even though most of the actors are originally from comedy TV serials, director Ujjwal Ghimire has managed to make them sound not too loud. The comedy faces, run and chase in the field are not found to the extent as found in the TV serials and are not the primary comic stunts. Directors managed the producers (as most of the actors are also the producer of the movie) not to be loud in the movie and made the plots/sequences look lively rather than the "Joker" like comedy.
Among the actors, Deepak raj Giri, Jitu Nepal, Kedar Ghimire, Sitaram Kattel, Rajaram Poudel are from TV whereas Priyanka karki, Dayanhang Rai, Nir Shah are from the main stream movies. To me, all of the actors have given their best whereas for Dayahang, I expected some major role which was missing and I felt he is not utilized to the full. But for a movie with such huge star casts, the unbalance of actors is quite evident. Film's hype would have been different but not the movie without Dayahang.
If I compare it with their former venture, the movie is way better than http://lasvegasin.blogspot.com /2014/01/cha-ekan-cha-movie-review.html">"Cha Ekan Cha" which was also successful business wise but critics had a different view. I am sure Wada no Cha will definitely break the records and will occupy more weeks in the screens. Dialogue delivery and the cinematic feel are far improved than http://lasvegasin.blogspot.com /2014/01/cha-ekan-cha-movie-review.html">"Cha Ekan Cha". But the film also could not get rid of old formula for having climax fight in the end whose length was too boring at least to me.
Luckily, I happen to watch the movie with two prominent leaders, along with the movie crews at QFX Kumari. One was Minister for information and communication who was the host for the official ceremony to welcome new constitution at Tudikhel and the other being former prime minister who had expressed his discontent over the formation of new constitution (over some agitation) and boycotted the welcome program. Both of them applauded the movie and wished for more success in the history of Nepali cinema.
Movie is successful in entertaining people even with the serious issue of Maoists insurgency, its impact on the society & innocent villagers, and the consequences after peace accord. Though the movie did not take any side for or against the war but there are some lines that express the discontent in the rebels like "Tauko Katera Kranti hudaina" (There won't be revolution with beheading a person). Movie gets emotional at times, asking people to think of the reason behind the social disparities. With the perfection of script and dialogues, I bet if the dialogues are either written for the actors in their mind or be improvised later to suit the actors. Abhimanyu Nirabi deserves big salute for the script.
Cinematography by Deepak Bajracharya boosts the overall viewing experience and the feeling for a nice movie. About the location: the glittering mountains and flora in the backdrop are really fascinating. The songs: the"Wahiyat" song and another folk tune "Surkhe Thaili" are also worth listening. As the movie is more than halka ramailo, it is definitely setting a record in terms of success. Word of mouth is trending high on social medias and is providing more favor to the team for further success. I would also like to recommend highly to watch it in theaters other than wait for the movie to be uploaded in Youtube.
As the movie success is being measured in the no of turnouts during the strike, I have this random thought that Nepali movie will prosper high if two days holidays be given, unlike the single Saturday holiday. Not only movie, other industry will also boom with the two days holiday. So I conclude two days holiday be given for film development or else New York's pending decision to block their films to Nepal will also do a big favor. #HalkaRamailo: Just to end on a funny note for such comedy movie review.

President of Nepal promulgates new constitution of Nepal (with Final pdf)

Sep 20, 2015: After the passing of the constitution draft by two third majority and verification by CA members and chairperson, President Ram Baran Yadav declares the commencement of the new constitution 2072 from today in a special meeting at the CA hall. With the promulgation of new constitution, the Interim Constitution has been nullified and the CA has been turned into a parliament as stated in the interim constitution. Eight years before, the first Constituent assembly was formed following the success of People's movement II and Peace accord. Due to differences in several burning issues, the first CA was dissolved after four years of making without giving new constitution. A neutral government led by Chief Justice hold a election to second CA which is now successful in giving new constitution to Nepali within 2 years of election. Nepal has become one of the 40 countries which have made constitution through the election of Constituent assembly.
President Ram Baran Yadav paid huge respect to the new constitution after promulgation and lawmakers gave a big round of applause for his respect.
People have thronged to Baneshwor outside CA to join the celebration for the promulgation of new constitution. They were carrying Nepali flag and shouting slogans like "Yo jit kasko, Nepal ko", "Himal Pahad Terai, koi Chaina parai", and songs like "Sayau Thunga- National song" and "Rato ra chandra Surya". I felt really delighted for the nation and people as a whole as our long dream of having new constitution from peoples representative is fulfilled. Well, declaring the constitution is just a start, we all people have to follow it and force their representative to follow it accordingly. Now we all have to work together to take the progressive path for economic development. Let all the nationalists from different communities, ideology, and geography join the common cause for the development and prosperity of the country. I see no reason for any citizen to be unhappy as it does not discriminate people of their race, sex, religion, community, geography, and ideology. This is not the end for the constitution making as we can always make amendment with our representatives through upcoming elections. And I say welcome New Constitution of the federal democratic republic: Nepal.
Here is the pdf of the final version of the New constitution of Nepal. Click to download.
Some other photos from the event are as follows:

Nepal's new consititution to be promulgated on September 20

Sep 14, 2015: As the major political parties are determined to formulate the Nepal's new constitution with the current procedure of voting, it seems Nepal will be getting a new constitution within a week. Despite the protest by Madhesh (Southern flat area) based parties and other ethnic parties, three major parties ( Nepali Congress, United Marxist Leninist and former rebel party United Communist party of Nepal) are going firm to pass the Constitution bill from constituent assembly. Prime Minister along with major parties have asked the agitating parties to reconsider their protest and join the dialogue by pausing the ongoing procedure for two days. Previously there were series of invitation from major parties regarding the negotiation and the formal address with the current procedure or even after the promulgation but the Madheshi and Tharu leaders have outright rejected their proposal with the demand of pulling back the security forces including Army and the implementation of formal accord with them. The first day of CA meeting passed three articles of the http://lasvegasin.blogspot.com /2015/06/draft-of-constitution-of-nepal-ready.html" style="background-color: blue;">proposed constitution draft and as many as 57 articles are passed for the new constitution for the second day. It seems it will require 4 more days to endorse the remaining portion. The draft of the new constitution has 302 articles in 37 parts. Except 64 Lawmakers from Madhesh based parties, majority of the CA members attended the voting process including the fourth party in CA, Rastriye Prajatantra Party Nepal who had even decided to pull out from CA regarding their demand for Hindu nation with Constitutional Kingship.
- Secular state with freedom of religion.
- Triangular old national flag with moon and sun.(red colored).
- Official language: Nepali written in Devnagari Script.
- National anthem, flower, color, bird to be the same.
- Cow is the national animal.
- Citizenship from either father or mother.
- Daura Surwal and Gunyo Choli is not the national dress.
- No death penalty.
- No exile.
- Press freedom.
- No any discrimination against any national regarding their caste, region, sex, religion and physical/financial status
- Rights for education, health, employment, food.
With the current voting process, it is known that the CA will endorse all of the proposed constitution and the promulgation will be done by President in a special ceremony at Constituent assembly on 20 September (Ashoj 3). The promulgation will deliver a new celebration day or public holiday in the history of Nepal as a constitution day on Ashoj 3.
Though it seems little awkward to declare constitution with a portion of our own civilian in the street, it is a great moment to deliver the first constitution of Nepal as formulated by peoples representative without any pressure from King or other power house and the number shows that more than 92 percent of peoples representative are involved in the current procedure of voting the constitution. As the constitution is not static, there are still ways to address the demands from the agitating groups and parties even after the promulgation. If their demand is logical and supported by major people, the promulgation of new constitution should not be taken as a defeat of their logical demands as they always have this option to amend the constitution from the two third majority in the coming elections.
I even have some reservation in the http://lasvegasin.blogspot.com /2015/06/draft-of-constitution-of-nepal-ready.html" style="background-color: orange;"> proposed draft of the constitution for which I have written a http://lasvegasin.blogspot.com /2015/07/my-comment-on-draft-of-new-constitution.html" style="background-color: lime;">blog post and even sent the comment to the CA subcommittee but now I have not taken it as my defeat. I still have the option to vote for the party/ person who will take my voice to represent in the later parliament and amend the constitution for nations and peoples well being. That's democracy and I firmly believe in it.

Sep 11, 2015: http://lasvegasin.blogspot.com /2015/07/kalo-pothi-new-nepali-movie-to-be.html">Kalo Pothi: a Nepali movie is creating big bang at the international movie arena by being selected for many film festivals, including Venice Film festival, Busan film festival. It was in news that the movie is also getting positive response from the reviewers in such festivals. The movie is now known to have got the Best film award in Venice film festival critics week, Italy. Min Bahadur Bham, the writer/ director of the movie has shared the news in his Facebook with the picture of the award certificate.
As known from the synopsis, the movie shows the adventure of two boys and their hen intertwined with those of the community in a small remote village (in Karnali region) when the war between Government army and Maoists Guerrilla was actually happening (during late 90's). The boys (from different community) go through series of incident in such conflict era, which also tells how unity is possible with diversity. The movie is produced together by Tsering Rhitar Sherpa (Mila Productions) and Debaki Rai (Shooney Films). The release date of the movie inside the country is still not known, but the movie as expected will surely travel around the world with some more awards to bag.
This is a great achievement for our country and all the film makers here. In this glorious moment, I would like to congratulate the team in making such a wonderful movie which is successful in grabbing awards in international arena. Really a proud moment for all Nepali movie fans.
After getting the award, the director dedicates the award to his beautiful country, fellow Nepalese (including all film makers in Nepal).
The teaser of the movie gives you goosebumps for the scenario back in the insurgency period when the news in radio had only the killings by State and Rebels.
Here is the teaser of the movie in Youtube.

July 25: 2015: From the makers of "Cha Ekan Cha", comes a new comedy movie called " http://lasvegasin.blogspot.com /2014/05/is-oda-number-cha-sequel-of-cha-ekan-cha.html">Woda number cha". Previously it was told to be the sequel of their first venture, the blockbuster http://lasvegasin.blogspot.com /2014/01/cha-ekan-cha-movie-review.html">Cha ekan Cha which now turns out be just a rumor as Deepak Raj Giri cleared out that it has nothing to do with Cha ekan cha other the team behind it (producer, writer and most of the actors). The story/dialogue of the movie is known to be written by Deepak Raj Giri who is also the one of the actor and producer. Script of the movie is written by Abhimanyu Nirabi ( http://lasvegasin.blogspot.com /2013/05/antaral-movie-review.html">Antaral, Shree Pach Ambare) and Ujjwal Ghimire is the director of the movie. The movie stars Deepak Raj Giri, Priyanka Karki, Jitu Nepal, Kedar Ghimire (Magne Buda), Sitaram Kattel (Dhurmus), Dayahang Rai, Wilson Bikram Rai, Shivahari Poudel and is also known to have cameo from Deepa Shri Niraula including some other well known actors. Music of the movie is directed by Sugam Pokharel, Rajan Raj Shiwakoti, Basant Sapkota. The movie is also made collectively with investment from Jitu Nepal, Kedar Ghimire, Sitaram Kattel along with Dipak Raj Giri, Deepa Shree Niraula and Nirmal Sharma (Gaida). If you find such famous comedy actors in the movie, it is gonna be one hell of a comedy (that is surely a blockbuster by business no matter how the movie be) but I expect it to be more realistic and with cinematic values than the former.
The movie team has released a song called "Wahiyat Love story" sung by Sugam Pokharel and Preeti Kaur, Music director: Sugam Pokharel and Lyrics: Deepak Raj Giri. The song is getting more popular in the Nepalese Televisions/radios and is equally trending in the social media (Facebook, YouTube). The song release also accompanies the first teaser in both the poster and the video. The movie is scheduled to release on Ashoj 1, all over Nepal. Here is the teaser and trailer of the movie "Woda number cha" in Youtube.

My comment on the draft of the new constitution 2072

There are people and ideology who proved that the country's unitary structure deprived people of governance as local as possible and marginalized them from the ruling elites. But the absence of local elected bodies (due to insurgency and focus on other issues) and the unethical, inept political leaders are the main reason for peoples feeling of local governance and marginalization. Nepal being a multicultural, multilingual, multi-ethnic society, always had the harmony among themselves until the federalism issue. The minority ethnic and marginalized communities are always told that a federal state based on ethnicity would solve all of their problem which is not true. Yes they should not be treated in any way different, regardless of their sex, geography, color, caste, tribe, financial status, religion and ideology. Ethical and farsighted politics for the country's benefit/interest is what we need the most. Now that it is already agreed to have a country with 8 states based on viability and general identity, higher no of states provides identity to many but we equally have to think if our country can handle the higher no of states with higher number of state buildings, legislation bodies, Ministers and regular elections. So either we have to go for lesser no of states or another way to reduce the no of chair heads is by reducing the no of constituencies and also the remuneration of the various positions in the state. Even the no of ministries, deputies and some assembly like District assembly could be cut to save some expenses.
Utilizing the two days holiday that Government had declared for the discussion and public hearings on the http://lasvegasin.blogspot.com /2015/06/draft-of-constitution-of-nepal-ready.html">draft of new constitution, People have hugely participated to give their feedback for the new constitution that we have been waiting from long. Despite some pre-planned disturbances from Madhesh based parties and RPPN-N, people have been demanding many contentious issues including the resolution of demarcation of states before the promulgation, less no of states Vs No federalism, Secularism Vs Hindu state, Directly elected Prime Minister to ward chief, which also include the demands from the opposing parties. People (including 4 parties cadres) have even gone way ahead of the 16 point deal and asking to correct the mistakes in the draft. But personally, I am not sure if these four parties will amend the deal to include the majority of peoples feedback.
Secularism was declared on Jestha 4, 2063 in the Magna Carta that relieved King of his powers, following the 19 days long Jana-Andolan II. Secularism was never the demand of the people during the people's movement and some leaders even express the conspiracy behind the secret addition with the interest of various countries. But there were some minorities within the other religion who demanded Secularism but it was never raised so strong as Nepal has always been a Hindu state with the freedom of every religion guaranteed no matter what secularism be there or not, difference only being the declaration of holidays for their festivals. It would not matter secularism be written or not but as majority of people are demanding to make our country: the one and only Hindu country in the world and also declaring Hindu state with religious freedom does not deprive other religion of their rights. So my point on secularism would be either leave as it is in the Interim constitution or make Hindu state for giving our country a bigger identity in the whole world. But it should not be on the un-amendable provision in the constitution so that it could also be decided through referendum during the first federation legislative election.

My recommendation is to have, either 6 state or 120 constituencies and 80 Proportional representation seats altogether 200 Members in Federal Parliament.
No of Ministries in federal: 20 and that be 10 in States.
Social media is now going viral with the demand for direct election to President or Prime Minister and even in the local ward chief. The draft has it that the ceremonial head of nation, President would be elected from electoral college formed collectively from Federal Parliament and state assemblies whereas Prime Minister be chosen by the majority of House of Representatives. People are demanding the direct election as the history of 23 Prime Ministers within 20 years tells us that the current system of PM election from the parliament is main reason for the political turmoil and the change of PM but we have equally think of the check and balance to prevent the Executive to be a authoritarian. I do support the direct election of choosing not only PM but also the ward chiefs that makes them obliged directly to the people but the balance between the executive and the legislative or new model should be sought to save our country from another turmoil: Rise of a Janga Bahadur.
Most of the leaders are evaluated from the years they had been in prison and the year of their involvement in politics rather than their ability to lead the people and country towards prosperity which a literate is believed to do with some logical sense. So, I would also go for the setting of academic qualification within the Constitution itself, like the way it is done for some constitutional bodies. I recommend the following qualifications for the major posts in the country.
- Masters level in any stream for President, Vice President.
- Bachelors level in any stream for Prime Minister, Chief Ministers, Ministers, Chairman, Vice Chairperson of Parliament/National assembly/ State assembly, Head of Village/Municipality council.
- Intermediate level for all other state and Village/ Municipality representatives.
It is mentioned that our state is socialism oriented with the rights of every individual guaranteed, but the constitution keeps mum on the disability friendly state and the structure. For the social justice and inclusion, constitution should also be aware that a citizen being from a backward community, remote geography and different ethnic groups be given special opportunity only once in their life be it either in study or in participation to public service so that other deserving citizen (not in the list for the inclusion) be given equal justice.
We all have big dissatisfaction regarding the incomplete usage of the budget allocated for a fiscal year and the rush to finish the works during the month of Ashad that results in low quality of work. So to keep track of the budget estimate, the quality of work and the work percentage, there should be provision in Constitution that Minister for finance shall submit the review of the expenses every Mangshir 15 (Six months from the date of announcement of budget) so that the budget can be transferred to another work if it has not been started satisfactorily.
The most disputed issue in the 16 point deal is the promulgation of a constitution without finishing the demarcation of the 8 state that is agreed to leave for a federal commission and approved later from a legislative parliament rather than Constituent assembly. There are equal voices (other than the Madhesh based parties) from the President, Chairman of Parliament and also from the ruling party leaders that it would be better to complete the demarcation of the state before the promulgation of constitution. If the intention of the Madhesh based parties is to have constitution with the bigger consensus rather than no constitution with discussion for indefinite period, I still recommend to prolong the constitution making process by few weeks. Otherwise they can always amend the provision that they don't like by getting bigger share in the federal assembly from the later elections.
My comment ( in points rather than descriptive) has been forwarded to the Constituent assembly email address: comt.crcs@gmail.com. And I expect Constituent assembly Chairperson and all the political party leaders and people representative to be responsible to include all the logical demand of the people in the new constitution 2072.

Breaking News: Due to the differences in some of the provisions in the new constitutions preliminary draft, the drafting committee failed to submit the draft to full CA meeting yesterday.

June 29, 2015: The constitution drafting committee on June 28, Sunday has finalized the first draft of the new constitution of Nepal. Despite resolving all contentious issues, the committee has endorsed the draft, putting the vote of dissents in it. The drafting is made possible with rounds of discussion in subcommittees and high ranking leaders within 15 days, due to the recent http://lasvegasin.blogspot.com /2015/06/disaster-led-consensus-among-four.html" style="background-color: yellow;">16 point deal between the major four political parties. It is known that the draft will be presented in the full CA meeting today and it is quite possible that the new constitution will be delivered with in next month through short cut.
The draft of the new constitution is found to contain 37 parts and 296 articles which may be changed or edited as per the discussion in the full CA meeting. Among the contentious issues for the constitution, the committee has proposed the following, among which some are the key components of new constitution.
- Discussion to continue on contentious issues and amend of some provision until the final one.
- Vote of dissents are not a part of the draft but put there for further discussion.
- Citizenship in the name of Father or mother.
- Special citizenship to Non resident Nepalese, without political rights.
- 60 percent FPTP and 40 PR in state assemblies as well.
- Secularism to continue with freedom of any religion.
- 8 States (Name and demarcation to be determined by a committee).
- Bicameral legislation (275 Parliament and 45 National assembly members)
- New Prime Minister, President and Parliament head election to be held within a month after promulgation of new constitution.
- Five unamendable provisions.
With the draft ready to be submitted, major political parties will power to deliver the constitution and opposition parties to move ahead writing dissents on the draft, it seems the new constitution will be delivered within this year, as a matter of fact within next month. The new constitution of Nepal 2072 is the first constitution made by the people through constituent assembly ( the second one). Though the Constitution of Nepal 2047 is also called to be made by the people of Nepal, it has many unamendable provisions, giving high powers to King and Royal Family. Now that the country is republic, the new constitution has only five such unamendable provisions for Independence, Sovereignty, territorial integrity, Multiparty democracy and sovereignty vested in people of Nepal. The other issues in the new constitution can be amended by a two third majority of federal parliament.
Though I (as a citizen) completely agree with the provisions in the new constitution, I am happy that the dream of writing our own constitution by our representatives (without any interference from neighbors and some big kings) is about to come true. And you all know after getting the new constitution, we all have a new day for the celebration marking the day of promulgation of the new constitution also called Constitution day.

Namrata Shrestha in play "Yerma" at Theatre Village (with photos)
Nepal - You need to decide whether you’d prefer to have a super-sharp screen or killer battery life. The Lenovo Yoga 920 lasts hours longer than the HP, and performs better in benchmarks and games with the same CPU (although if this is thanks to the Meltdown vulnerability, the playing field is effectively levelled). lasvegas, well we have collected a lot of data from the field directly and from many other blogs so very complete his discussion here about Nepal, on this blog we also have to provide the latest automotive information from all the brands associated with the automobile. ok please continue reading:
Saturday, the only weekend holiday here in Nepal, is all about having fun, be it hiking, movies, live concerts or picnic. This Saturday, it's for a play at Theatre Village, North Gate, Kathmandu. which is my only second visit there. First was Rajesh Hamal Starrer http://lasvegasin.blogspot.com /2013/11/court-martial-in-pictures.html" style="background-color: yellow;">Court Martial.
Yerma is a 80 year old Spanish play written by dramatist Federico Garcia lorca, now translated into Nepali version by Sristi Bhattarai and directed by Bimal Subedi. Yerma (meaning barren) is based on a story of a woman's desire for parenthood and the struggle with her husband/society for her happiness. Will she be able to own a child or her psychology turns her to commit something wrong?? For that, you have to watch the play yourself. Yerna; the lead is played by beautiful Actress Namrata Shrestha, Husband: Juan is played by Rajkumar Pudasaini, Kamal Mani Nepali also has a shorter role as Yerna's friend Victor.
The model turned actor Namrata Shrestha is superb with her emotion filled performances, where you could see every side of her acting skills (besides her gorgeous looks) with laughing, crying and furious moments. She has once again proved her acting skills with this play, her third one. Her first Home production (Highly high entertainment) Movie "Soul Sister" is also scheduled to release for Magh, which seems promising due to the actor herself and the director Prashant Rasaily.
http://lasvegasin.blogspot.com /2013/05/antaral-movie-review.html" style="background-color: lime;">"Antaral" actor Rajkumar Pudasaini, Kamal Mani Nepali and other stage actors are also magnificent in the play. Other things that were worth mentioning are Flamenco dance by Sumnima Sampang, Jason Kunwar's music (including the song Kina Sutchau Eklai). One World Theatre (OWT) is presenting this play at Theatre Village which is almost going to end for this time (Sunday, December 21 being the last show). But I am sure they will be bringing the play in another season.
Here are some photos that I have captured during the play (without flash and being careful not to ruin others entertainment). Obviously, almost all are of Namrata Shrestha as she was in the limelight of the show.

With the new loadshedding schedule effective from December 17, 2013 (Poush 2, 2070), there will be eleven hours power cut for 2 days, 10.5 for one day and 9.5 for four days.
Due to reduction of water level in the river, the country falls short of about 400 Mega watt electricity compelling to cut the power for 63 hours per week, which may be increased more during the dry season. The new loadshedding from poush 2, Wednesday will be having two shifts of power cut ( four to 6 hours in a shift).

Kapil Sharma says sorry for Mount Everest blunder

Nov 19, 2014: US celebrities make controversies time and again with their little knowledge about Nepal, its geography and icons. From Hrithik Roshan to Madhuri Dixit to Kabir Bedi, they had given some demeaning remarks about our country Nepal (& its icons) which happen to spur protests here, even killing some people (during the Hrithik Roshan Kanda). Later they end up saying sorry for their mistake. This time it happened from a popular comedian who has sparked controversy with false remarks for Mount Everest being located in New York. Kapil Sharma (Host of Comedy Nights with Kapil) had made the blunder statement in his first Australia show.. here is the video clip. This show actually happened last year where some Nepalese had opposed his words with comments in the video posted in Youtube. But as Kapil sharma is about to land here in Kathmandu along with Sonu Nigam, for Ncell Purple Fest (Dec 13, 2014, Dasarath Rangshala Stadium), this video went to people in large scale and resort to social medias for the dissent. Some were even sharing to express their dissatisfaction during the show. Much worst is the Youtube comments on the same video where the debate goes furious with f words between Nepalese & US youths and it seems to affect the long cherished relationship between the nearest neighbors.
Kapil expresses his apology from his official twitter account saying. ““in one of my show by mistake I said that Mount Everest is in New York. I never meant to hurt Nepali people's feelings.. I feel sorry if i hurt U people thru my words.. I love Nepal n Nepalese people.. Keep smiling n stay happy.. God bless this beautiful world :).”
Nepalese people are very much sensitive of such issue (I think every national should be) and won't appease without protesting. Now the question is how to react for such issue, as we have to keep in mind that we don't have to destroy our own properties for other nationals lousy remarks and Equally we should not be taking it easy. Such controversies are not only created by Bollywood actors but some US Political leaders also get involved (seems intentionally sometimes). Take for Instance, US Prime Minister Narendra Modi was highly praised for his speech in the parliament during his first ever visit here. He even mentioned Nepal as the land of Buddha and Sita but it did not took a month to forget what he said here and expressed indirectly New York to be the Land of Buddha in a mass gathering back in his homeland.
This controversy is over with Kapil's apology, but we should act on both political and ground level to stop them teasing us again and again. For political level, there is no hope from our incapable leaders to express "Big brother" of the mistake. On Ground level, people should learn how to properly raise the issue to dash them. Thanks to Social medias, where anyone can express their dissatisfaction globally and be heard aloud, instead of taking it to the streets (probably having physical loss).

Tihar (a.k.a. Dipawali) is the most joyous festival of Nepal, and there may be very few people who disagree with me. The lights, the fireworks, the flowers, the "sel roti", the singing & dancing, the puja, playing cards and "Bhai Tika" definitely put you in a good mood with your family. It is also the second biggest festival of Nepal after Dashain. Though there are also some communities who do not celebrate Tihar, they also get along with the celebration mood without doing the "pujas" and all. Famously known as "Diwali" ( US name to Deepawali/Tihar), it is also being celebrated in the whole world with the amazing fireworks. Newar communities also do the Mha-puja on the day of Gobardhan puja, with worship of their inner self. New Nepal Sambhat (nhu daya bhimtuna) also falls on the same day for Newar communities, that started from October 20, 879 ad. Previously Tihar used to be five days national holidays: Kaag Tihar, Kukur Tihar, Laxmi Puja, Gobardhan Puja and Bhai Tika but after the nation transformed into secularism (from Hindu nation), Government had started giving only three days. The holidays are cut short, but not the peoples desire to groove on, so the grand celebration has not abated in any way. I have collected some of the Tihar songs (with Deusi Bhailo) including the ones from movies, folk songs and even the satire one. Here are the Tihar songs.
The most popular one is the "Tiharai ayo lau Jhilimili" from the movie "Swarga" starring Gauri Malla and Shiva Shrestha.
Diyo bali from the movie "Chino".
Adhar ma aja from the movie "Anyaya".
Nidhar ma laskayera Saptarangi Tika
Hasera bola Baini Tihar ko belaima.
Dohori song "Tihar ma deusi ra bhailo" by Bishnu Majhi.
Deusire song by Sambhu Rai.
Last year (2013) Deusire song from the movie "Fitkiri"
Latest Tihar song 2014 (Jhilimili raatma) by Axata featuring Nima Rumba.
Another Tihar song (acoustic bhailo) by Astha tamang Maskey.
Tihar Deusi bhailini song from the blockbuster movie "Kohinoor" featuring late ShriKrishna Shrestha
And lastly the Satireful deusi Bhailo from Sishnupani Nepal.

NTV news channel to be aired from tomorrow
Nepal - You need to decide whether you’d prefer to have a super-sharp screen or killer battery life.

17th OCT, 2014: Nepal Television, NTV (the government run TV) is launching a new television channel from tomorrow (October 18, 2014). In the current herd of TV channels in Nepal, NTV is coming with a sole news channel. There are almost 20 television channels currently running in Nepal, among which only NTV, NTV plus and Kantipur TV are the terrestrial broadcasters. NTV reigned the television arena for almost 16 years until the big print house Kantipur Publications started Kantipur TV from 2003. It was before Kantipur that the popular cable television "Space Time Network" started Channel Nepal Television but discontinued after some time, so technically Channel Nepal is the first private television channel, also the first satellite TV here. Previously majority of the channels used to be entertainment plus the news, but these days there are separate channels for entertainment or news or just for movie (TV filmy).
The third television channel from Government after NTV, NTV plus is known to be named as NTV news and it will go on air from 5:45 am to 11: 30 am in its first phase and the duration will be gradually increased later. I presume that the new channel be a terrestrial TV that could be received with a just a dipole antenna but it is not clear. The independence and partiality of the television channel also seems questionable as the channel being a government owned, but I hope the channel is not brought to make an inflated praise of the ruling class, in this changed context when the awareness/intellect in people is very high.
Nepal Television ( established 30th January 1985 as a project and within the year it was transformed to a corporation) began its regular transmission from 29th December, 1985 with the slogan "Communication for development". NTV launched its second TV channel NTV plus (previously called NTV 2 Metro) on 27 September, 2003.
