I envy the morning that wakes me
From the dream of yours
I envy the sunlight that makes you
Hide behind the moon
I envy the chirping of the birds
That stops your sweet voice
And its light that falls
And reflects from your radiant visage
And Shines in my eyes
Your face that blooms like a flower
A lotus floating in the pond
and drops of rain that sticks to the petals
In the drizzling sound of rain
That clears the cloud
it stops drizzling
And stops the melodic sound
Demise
Open the window, let the light fall upon
Behold her closed eyes
Stop the noise
Let the silent heart rest inside
And you try not to wail
The angels have arrived
Its now time for her to sail
Make the way
Not the impediments come through
She has to sail far, far away
You are now dear love
Spread your wings
Sail into the air, dear love
For the eternal time
And I know time cannot turn back
For the last time, I wish you could smile
And darkness falling over
These wide open eyes
Waiting for a ray, but never
Gives the intolerable heat
Pierces the heart
The sound of every incessant beat
Has been frightening,
And the engraved words with in
For Eons it’s been ailing
And I’m still waiting for the night
When I could sleep
Wake up and open my eye
in the light of the eternal sunshine

Last time you thought you’ll go out without a shade and a cap?
Just today, as every Wednesday I go to a temple. Thereby today I’ll go to that temple which is near by Pashupati at Battisputali. I don’t really know the name of that temple as it is not so popular temple.

Last time you thought you would direct a video?
Yes, a month back during the same video I thought I would direct a video though I don’t. As there was no option because there was no director, I, Prashna, Spot boy and camera men were only there so I thought of giving it a try.
Last time you thought of singing a different genre than Rap or pop?
Let me think…Last year I wanted to try a lok song. As it will be hard for me so I wanted to experiment singing a lok song. It would be of a different flavor and interesting to see if I could get that lok feeling.
Last time you thought of remixing one of your old tracks?
No such plans or thought but yes for this album I have arranged a song in two different versions. The song is named Naacha and it has two version one is a serious mix and another is a fun mix.

Nervous…There is always some nervousness on stage but nothing serious.

It was my first time performing with her and it was different as well as interesting.

Yes a song for this album, the song is Hami Sangai. In each of my albums there is a song with a story. There was Din Pani Bityo in Da Nepali Touch then Gaunle Jiwan in Ma Nepali and now it is Hami Sangai in which the girl and the boy meet. It was a challenging job I had to record it and re-record it to get the feelings of the song, though it was tough but I’m happy with it now.
Last time you waited for someone for a long time?
Yesterday, we had a photo shoot schedule for 11 but Prashna came to the shoot only at 1 o’ clock. It was a 10 person photo shoot but it went very well.

It’s hard to remember, now a days News is rarely good. Its hard for me to watch news but yes I guess when Dr. Bhola Rijal released a single I liked the news. It is a change in the current trend of releasing albums and I liked that.
Last time you rode a cycle?
Cycle… Hum… Ha ha… (Giggles) Not exactly a cycle but I rode a rickshaw for the shoot of Lek Dekhi Besi. We parked the bike and we followed the Julus on a rickshaw it was ok.

the world is flat
I’ve traveled through forest
across the ocean
up to the mountains
and down again to the land
I found the world is flat
in the populated land
I’ve seen people with pain
and also people with empty heart
and I found the world is flat
never to return back
people old and dying
never to become young
and I found the world is flat
In darkness of the room
Waking in the midnight
Spend it, watching the moon
When a child would cry
Looking at the dead flower
I used to not sigh
Getting wet in the rain
With the sad ending of a film
I used to not feel the pain
In the deep ocean of love
My heart ripped apart
My feelings floating above
standing alone was I
in the city of glittering lights
there were people moving around
with their face smiling in delight
I was stuck with the time
and I thought, It’d be the same
years down the line
and I feel the same
when you’re not around
nothing seem to change
your eyes
Or a heaven’s splendor
Like eyes of yours are
Universe does not have stars
filled with galaxies, your eyes are
or nature’s boon
gives the light of sunshine
and soothes like the moon
in the desert place
daffodil blossom in winter
with glimpse of your face
a nightingale sings in the sky high
water freezes into ice
a mirror breaks feeling shy

young lass
Water drop from heaven
On the grasses green
And sunlight on it leavened
Giving beautiful soft sheen
Some drop stick to glass
And curtains billow,
I saw solitary lass
And walking slow
On the face, hairs scatter
Her head held low
Expectation high
She lived in the world
Where angels fly
When the moon was young
The night was cold
And the dawn was at distance, long
The moon hid behind with pity
Stars started to cry
The trees around felt sorry
Door made a creaking sound
The torn window veil billowed
Pile of dust above was disturbed
Leaving the debris of his dream
The pen beside him was empty
And a paper with incomplete poem
And of aspirant
for bringing the peace
In the country of ignorant
Next day, inside his body lied
In hunger and anguish, it was the night
The poet had died.
When the storm heads the way,
And the hail comes down,
Searches a shelter to stay
But all efforts are blown
Hopes shattered
Wanders,
Around In the street
Ponders,
Why are some born poor?
And some rich
Some gets to sleep in delight
And some are left with endless night
Why
Some cry in torment
Some smile in enjoyment
Oh god
Why did you distinguish?
Looks up to the heaven
Asking for reply
Heaven has no time
For beggar’s cry
A bright light from distant
Pouring on me
My eyes dazzled
And nothing I could see
My heart throbbed painfully
Pulse start decreasing
And I fell down completely
It was dry, very dry
Music played across, it was
Heard like a cry
Tears falling apart
With sudden silence of heart beat
my soul depart
Her eyes staring me
With love so sweet and pure
The innocent look on her face
Tempt me to fall in love, so allure
She closed her eyes and smiled
And walked to the place of mine
Started to talk and
I heard the tinkling sound of wind chime
A chill went down my spine
Face turned pale
Heartbeat rising
And I was out of words to exhale
My legs were shaking
I could not walk away
I started sweating
And saw everything turn gray
I saw the moon coming down
With stars along
Flowers flying around
And birds singing song
It was the day
Love had flown
Took my heart away
leaving me alone.
Like a mountain filled with snow
And Sun rising from behind
With a golden glow
You seem like scenery
Like a hill, where spring water flow
And cuckoo singing a song
Along side weeds grow
You seem like Scenery
Like a garden full of rose
And the fragrance in the air
Leaves the afterglow
Hair spread over the face,
Like sunray spread over horizon
And you pull them back to tie,
All my woes disappear, and I sigh
When I see those sparkling eyes,
And teeth accentuating your beauty,
it seems like stars arranged,
Embellishing the sky
Music flows in the air
When you start to talk
And the fragrance of your
Like Scent of musk.
The smile that reach your eye,
And you head down feeling shy
I see a glow on your face
Of the brightest sunshine.
Late January night, walking alone
I saw a man lying along
Grey hair and wrinkled eye
He seemed getting old
I stopped by him to behold
Dew drop all over his body
He was shivering with cold
He couldn’t walk coz he was getting old
He was as alone as moon above
Though stars around
But nobody close
For him to enfold
He had been through storm of hail,
and stood in the winter rain
He had passed the mournful days
Still he had nothing to complain
He gazed at the stars
And talked to the moon
He had nothing but,
A melancholy song to croon
He was blessed with pain
And his woes were his friend
Still he was waiting for spring
That was far away, on the other end
looking at the watch on the wall
time ticking slowly on
it made me realize
that four years have gone.
it made me remember
how we together played
waited for the bus in the rain
and arriving to college late
chatting for long hours
sitting on the coffee shop down
planning for the future ahead
and the steps we should take on
it made me realize
time does not wait on
not completing project on time
requesting the teacher to increase deadline
getting nervous in the presentation
and forgetting the lines
it made me think
wish I could reverse the time
I’d miss those internals
that took our sleep away
cramming for the board
all night and day
taking part in all activities
expecting award on annual day
it made me think
if this was my first day

Rose in a desert
I saw you smiling
with tears hidden in your eyes
I saw you enjoying
with all your sorrows kept aside
I saw you waiting for the rain
in the heat of sunlight
you are a rose in a desert
expecting to fly
In the years of darkness
I saw you searching for light
In the years of solitude
I saw you murmuring in the night
with all burning dreams
you still expect a future, bright
you are a rose in a desert
expecting to fl
Dixit bhatta
TV is on in my room
Glittering lights all around
A gentle breeze touches my ear
But still I feel so blue
Spring is here,
flowers bloom again
Birds are singing outside
Happy days are here again
A morning ray comes into my room
But still I feel so blue
Why is walking in rain not so fun
A romantic music does not turn me on
I remember those happy moments
But still I feel so blue
Night falls again
Twinkling star all over sky
The countenance of the moon so bright
It gives me the hopeful light
I see the bright future ahead
Still I feel so blue

Nation is celebrating first anniversary of success of April Uprising. Last year in April We, the people came to street to show the world our commitment, loyalty and thirst for democracy. We, the people shooed the autocratic King from power and reinstate the people' power.
After the success of April Uprising, a year has passed. But little has been done to meet the aspiration of people. We didn't come on street just to throw the king from power neither we came on street to bring politicians to power. We came on street to bring peace, democracy and prosperity. We came on street to establish rule of law and take
There have been some significant changes of course. Reinstated House of Representatives (HoR) stripped king from all executive power. We saw Interim Constitution and inclusion of Maoist in the government. We saw the end of decade long armed and bloody insurgency and ray of hope for New Federal Democratic Republic Nepal.
Alas!! even though armed conflict was officially declared over, innocent blood continued to flow. More than 29 people died in Terai Revolution and more 28 Maoist cadres died later from ruthless acts of Madhesi Janaadhikar Forum's activists. Many continues to suffer from daily band and hadtal.
Now Constituent Assembly's poll seems to be uncertain. People are asking what's difference between last year and now? Only difference is Maoists are in parliament and so called People's War is over. But there are numerous players who are still in armed struggle.
This year is going to be very tough for

"Future research is also currently under way in order to determine how much effect can be expected from different amounts of tea."
More work needed
Keith Alcorn, senior editor of the Aidsmap web service, said tests on animals would be needed before any conclusions could be safely drawn on the potential protective effect of drinking green tea. "This study only looks at the ability of a chemical in green tea to block HIV binding to human CD4 immune cells in the test tube.
"Many substances shown to prevent HIV infection in the test tube turn out to have little or no effect in real life, so I think there's a long way to go before anyone should rely on green tea to protect against HIV infection." Lisa Power, head of policy at the HIV charity, Terrence Higgins Trust said: "Condoms keep HIV at bay. Anything that boosts your immune system is beneficial for people with HIV, but green tea can't be a substitute for proper medication and prevention techniques."
Green tea has been linked to a positive effect on a wide range of conditions, including heart disease, cancer and Alzheimer's.
There are loads of advertisement of creditcards that says, like moments, cards too are priceless. Used to wonder why they call it priceless....in the sea of web, i found this reasyy cool article why credit cards are priceless. Go to http://bhupen.k6yar.com/ and see his more articles....till then enjoy this.
**********************************************************************
Ask anyone, “Is having a credit card worth it?”
They will probably tell you, yes and no.
Yes:
if you would like to build your credit score and buy something online and also to use it in case of emergency.
No:
If you already have money in the bank.
If you are not following me, please read this : In developed countries such as the
Doing shopping online without a credit card is next to impossible, although there are some websites (such as amazon.com) that allows you to purchase items without using a credit card. It offers the option “pay on delivery”. But this is only limited to particular shipping destinations such as within the country; like
To build credit score, you start by giving your money to a bank. That amount remains as your credit limit. Your purchase and monthly payments goes to the credit agencies database. As your history is reviewed, they assign you a credit score. Nobody knows just how they do this or what kind of formula is set, generally speaking paying well ahead of the due date, purchasing costly items and paying them well ahead of the monthly due date gives better score. Getting the wrong credit card can have you pay bunches of interest, late fees, activation fees, etc. You know it was your money and that even makes you depressed! Terms and conditions of a contract are written using the smallest possible fonts - so it’s worth buying a magnifying glass to read it thoroughly before getting credit cards! You will be glad you did it! You might also use it to read other advertisements by such as Direct TV, Virizon, Cingular, and you name it. Anything that looks so unreal has a string attached to it and they are hidden in those tiny fonts!
Ok, lets come to the point. I thought this would be an interesting way to finish this post.

I have heard many people shouting how ugly this world is. "The whole world and life sucks!!", this is very common comment. People seek happiness but don’t get any. In pursuit of happiness, they have so much tantrums but forget that happiness is all around us. I too am one of them. Today also I was feeling low and lonely, loaded with my work and duties trying to find reasons to make myself smile and energetic to finish all these due stuffs. Then I came across this story, simple yet powerful. It was retrospective of how beautiful this world is.
A little boy wanted to meet God.
He knew it was a long trip to where God lived, so he packed his suitcase with Twinkies and a six-pack of root beer and he started his journey.
When he had gone about three blocks, he met an old woman. She was sitting in the park just staring at some pigeons.
The boy sat down next to her and opened his suitcase. He was about to take a drink from his root beer when he noticed that the old lady looked hungry, so he offered her a Twinkie. She gratefully accepted it and smiled at him. Her smile was so pretty that the boy wanted to see it again, so he offered her a root beer. Again, she smiled at him. The boy was delighted! They sat there all afternoon eating and smiling, but they never said a word. As it grew dark, the boy realized how tired he was and he got up to leave, but before he had gone more than a few steps, he turned around, ran back to the old woman, and gave her a hug.
She gave him her biggest smile ever.
When the boy opened the door to his own house a short time later, his mother was surprised by the look of joy on his face.
She asked him, "What did you do today that made you look so happy?" He replied, "I had lunch with God." But before his mother could respond, he added, "You know what? She's got the most beautiful smile I've ever seen!"
Meanwhile, the old woman, also radiant with joy, returned to her home. Her son was stunned by the look of peace on her face and asked, "Mother, what did you do today that made you so happy?" She replied, "I ate Twinkies in the park with God." However, before her son responded, she added, "You know, he's much younger than I expected."
The term God here is just a symbol of happiness. Some people find solace in the name of god, some in others. But the main point is, "Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around. Like we don't know what God will look like or he even exits or not, we sometimes push away the happiness that's around us."
People come into our lives for a reason, a season, or a lifetime. Embrace all equally! Pursuit happiness in people you love and their company then you will see how beautiful the world is.
Owing to lesser electricity demand than what had been forecasted for the last one month period, which led to the saving of considerable volume of water in the reservoir feeding the two Kulekhani projects in Makawanpur district, Nepal Electricity Authority (NEA) is reducing nationwide load-shedding by 16 hours per week effective from Wednesday.
There will be no load-shedding during nights from Wednesday, while the daytime load-shedding will remain constant. This means every consumer will face only 24 hours of load-shedding per week from tomorrow, as opposed to 40 hours per week they had been facing, officially speaking.
Lower demand than what had been expected for the month of Falgun conserved approximately six meters of water in the Kulekhani reservoir. The reservoir feeds the two Kulekhani projects that have a total capacity of 92 megawatts and are the only storage projects in the country.
Weeks of violence in terai, which led to suspension of activities in various industrial towns in the southern belt, contributed to saving of power - one of the major factors behind the reduction in load-shedding hours.
Additionally, the 70-megawatt Marsyangdi project that had been shut two weeks ago for repairs of a draft tube at its tailrace has resumed operation from Tuesday.
Dont' got to the title, its a section of the Magazine "in YOur face"' that comes in the last page. I had a chance to interview Goher Mumtaz from JAL and here you people get to read it. It got published in IN YOUR Face Feb 07 Edition. This is the un-edited version so exclusive to YOUNNOVATION.

Last time you were not satisfied with the lyrics you jotted/wrote?
No such experience as the lyrics is discussed amongst us and if anything is not satisfactory or incompatible it is discarded or replaced by something convincing. I don’t really remember a situation to be unsatisfied of as I’m pretty convinced about writing the stuff.
Last time you were really impressed by your own song?
I must say it’s Teri Yaad and title song from our album Aadat, there is another song from our new album Payal but I’ll disclose it only after the album releases.

(About the Image: Its clicked by Professional Photographer AJ, All rights reserved to him and don't go deep into what's written in the image.)Ever since I passed my +2 exams, I have found myself in dilemma. The tough question has been how I should proceed and what I should study now. After passing S.L.C., I decided to join Humanities stream to study journalism. My clear intention was to become a journalist one day. However, after two years I find myself again asking the same questions again and again. That clear intention is now being blurred. Sometimes I feel I should join social sciences, sometimes development studies, sometimes environmental sciences; and again there's a question of courses available in Nepal. From beginning of my +2 days, I always said that I'll continue my studies here in Nepal and won't go abroad. So I didn't do TOEFL, SAT, IELTS or whatever though my friends and family insisted. I always ignored them and told them I'll stay here in Nepal.
You may wonder why I am confused though I've already decided to study journalism. Well due to conflict and restriction on free press this field is becoming more and more insecure and less fruitful. This is what my parents think. They don't want me to continue with journalism. I tried to pursued them but they shut their ears. Instead they started to brainwash me. And the result is confusion.
Everyone is confused. The moment has come to decide about their future and here confusion has gripped everyone. So to escape this confusion my friend Utsav has decided to join the army. He is as confused as I am. Sometimes he talks about joining photojournalism, and sometimes fine arts. His latest whim is joining the army. I don't know whether he'll join the army or not but definitely he has started to do physical training and I find myself giving him company and doing the same. Not to mention I have my own purpose to do so.
I was so confused about my future that one day I asked my brother if he also felt the same. The reply was yes and he told me that whatever I do I should analyze the situation and my heart. Though mom and dad pressed him to study MBBS he joined BBA and he's doing great now. So we should listen to our heart and should possess clear way to move ahead. After his advice, I made a decision to continue journalism. But again I find myself lost in confusion. Which college should I join? And which field should I go? Print media or electronic, reporting or production? I think confusion is going to be parennial problem.
Never mind, I'll decide one day and I know that day is coming soon. But again the main point is when that the day coming? Many of my friends have already decided about their future course. Some are going abroad, some are trying for MBBS, some BE, some BBA, BBS or the courses they choose. I did have clear plans and dreams but now all are blurred. And only God knows what my destiny will be. And I am relying on one silly phrase, "Whatever happens, happens for good." and my destiny will definitely lead me ahead. Adios.

बाल्यकालको झझल्को अझै पनि बलियो बनेर यो मुटुमा रहेको छ । स्कुल जाँदाको किस्साहरु, साथीभाई सँग खेल्दाको क्षणहरु अनि सानो सानो कुरामा चित्त नबुझेर रिसाएको क्षणहरु अझै स्पष्टसँग यो आँखामा झलझली आइरहन्छ । कहिले काही जब म एक्लै हुन्छु … मन भारी हुन्छ तब वितेका ती रमाइला क्षणहरु सम्झिन्छु मन हलुको भएर आउँछ । तर विर्सने बानी भएर हो कि के हो कति कुराहरु भने विर्सिन्छु । तर हिजो गुरुकुलको नाटक ताराबाजी लै लै हेरिसकेपछि भने बाल्यकालको क्षण झनै बढेर आयो । कति विर्सेका कुराहरु पनि याद आए । पढाई हुँदा हुँदै सरलाई छलेर भागेको क्षण, क्लासमा प्रश्न सोध्दा नआएर लाज लागेका क्षणहरु अनि त्यो लाजलाई हाँकमा बदलेको क्षण… धेरै कुराहरु चित्र झै झलझली याद आयो …नाटक हेरिन्जेल र हेरिसकेपछि पनि ।
साँच्चिकै ताराबाजी लै लै हेरिसकेपछि जिवनलाई फेरी एकपटक फर्केर हेर्न मन लाग्छ । यस नाटकको विशेषता हो कि यसको प्रत्येक पात्रमा दर्शकले आफुलाई कुनै न कुनै रुपमा महसुस गर्छ । कहिले आफुलाई भोला झैँ सोझो पात्रको रुपमा देख्छ जसको सोझोपनको फाइदा अरुले उठाइरहेका हुन्छन् वा कहिले के । पहिलो पहिलो प्रेमको स्मरण सँगै प्रेमलाई हेर्ने आफ्नो नजर पनि त्यहाँ महसुस गर्छ दर्शककले । बालापनको निर्दोषन किशोरअवस्थाको रमाइलो क्षणहरु अनि तन्नेरी भइसकेपछिको विपरित लिङ्गी तर्फको आकर्षण (यहाँ विवाद आउला कि?) सबै विस्तारै सम्झिदै जान्छ ।
सुरुवातको काठमाण्डौ ब्लुज गीत र काठमाण्डौको वातावरणको दृष्य साँच्चिकै मनमोहक थियो ..... निकै सरल र वास्तविक पनि । पात्रहरु एकदम वास्तविक देखिन्थे र कुनै कृत्रिमता त्यहाँ थिएन । लाग्थ्यो उनीहरु आफ्नो कथा आफै भनिरहेका छन् र सँगसँगै आफ्नो वितेको जिवनलाई पनि सम्झिरहेका छन् । निर्देशकको अब्बलता र सोचाइ निकै नै उत्कृष्ट छ र सानो ठाउँलाई थोरै सामानको प्रयोग गरेर १० वर्षको अन्तराल देखाउन सक्नु उनको र सहभागी सबै कलाकारहरुको विशेषता मान्नुपर्छ । उनीहरुको बालसुलभ व्यवहारको प्रस्तुति साँच्चै नै उत्कृष्ट थियो ।
थाहा छैन यो विशेषता हो कि गुरुकुलको, जे कुरालाई पनि एकदमै मज्जाले दर्शकको भावसँग मिलाउनु वा त्यसलाई टपक्क टिपेर कथा बुन्न सक्नु । ताराबाजी लै लै गुरुकुलको अर्को यस्तै उत्कृष्ट नमुना हो । भनिन्छ जीवनलाई कसरी हेर्ने हेर्ने व्यक्तिको आँखामा भर पर्छ रे खुशी भएर हेर्यो भने जीवन रमाइलो लाग्छ रे तर दुःखी भएर हेरे साह्रै पिडादायक देखिन्छ रे । सायद साँच्चिकै यो कुरा साँचो हुन सक्छ । तारावाजी लै लै हेरेपछि त्यस्तै अनुभव भएर आउँछ ।
धन्यवाद ताराबाजी लै लै लाई मेरो बाल्यकाल र विद्यार्थी अवस्थाको झझल्कोलाई पुन एक पल्ट याद गराइदिएकोमा ।
नेपालीलाई के भएको होला… जो देखे पनि खाली सडक कब्जा गर्न र टायर बाल्न मात्र अघि बढेको देखिन्छ । जन आन्दोलन भाग २ मा पनि खुबै टायर बल्यो । त्यो बेला तत्कालीन शाही सरकारको गोली र लट्ठी खाएकाहरु त चर्चामा आए… कतिको उपचार राज्यले गर्यो भने कतिलाई वेवास्ता पनि । तर त्यो टायरको धुँवा खाएर ढलेका या विरामी भएकाहरुको भने कसैले वास्ता गरेनन् । हुन त टायरको धुँवा र प्रदुषणको कारण विरामी भएर ढलेका कतिलाई त थाहा पनि भएन होला उनीहरु किन विरामी भए भनेर । आखीर कसले यहाँ टायर बाल्नुको खराबीको बारेमा चेतना फैलाएको छ र भन्या ।
त्यसपछि मधेश जल्यो…। अनि हरेक सानो सानो कुरामा टायर जल्दै आएको छ । दुर्घटना भयो भने तुरुन्तै टायर बल्छ सडकको गति रोकिन्छ… अझ हाँसो लाग्दो कुरो त के भने ती टायर बाल्नेहरुलाई नै थाहा हुन्न बाल्नुको खास कारण । हल्ला फैलिन्छ कुन गाडीले बच्चा या मान्छे मार्यो अनि क्षण भरमै सडक रोकिन्छ र टायरको कालो धुँवा हावामा फैलिन्छ । को मर्यो वा साँच्चिकै हो वा हैन कस्को गल्ती थियो केही हेरिन्न ।
अझ यो लोकतन्त्र आएर हो कि के हो सबैलाई अधिकार चाहिएको छ तर आफ्नो जिम्मेबारीको बोध भने कसैलाई भएको देखिन्न । कति माग जायज छन् तर कति त किन मागिएको नै बुझ्न सकिन्न ।
बाल्नेहरुलाई पक्कै पनि चेतना छैन होला बलेको टायरले के गर्न सक्छ भनेर । अब ठुलो कुरा गर्नेहरुले यस्ता सानो सानो कुरामा के ध्यान पुर्याउथे होला र भन्या । तर यस्तै सानो सानो कुराले त हाम्रो सभ्यता र विकास दर्साउँछ र मलाई लाग्छ हामी किन विकासको क्रममा पछाडी परेका हौँ भनेर बुझ्ने सानो मापन पनि हो हाम्रो यस्तै सानो भनेर हेप्ने व्यवहार ।
बलेको टायरको धुँवाले क्यान्सर गराउन सक्छ, श्वासप्रश्वास सम्बन्धी रोगहरु निम्त्याउँछ, वातावरणलाई प्रदुषित गरी भोली जीवनमाथि नै प्रश्न चिन्ह लगाउन सक्छ । यो बारेमा अझ धेरै त यही तल टायर बाल्नेको लागि भनेर लेख नै प्रकाशित भइसकेको छ ।
यहाँ मैले टायरको खाली केही नराम्रो कुरा मात्र दर्साउन खोजेको हैन ...हामी भित्रको जिम्मेवारीको खोजी गर्न पनि खोजेको हुँ । अधिकारको नाममा वा अन्य कुनै नाममा टायर बाल्दा हामीले कसरी अर्काको स्वस्थ पुर्वक बाँच्न पाउनुपर्ने अधिकारको हनन गरिरहेका छौँ । के आफ्नो अधिकार माग्न अरुको अधिकारको इज्जत गर्न नसक्नेले अधिकार पाएपछि सही उपयोग गर्ला ? लोकतन्त्र र मानव अधिकार भनेको त अरुको अधिकारको सम्मान गर्नु र आफ्नो अधिकारको सही उपयोग गर्नु हो । अधिकार माग्ने हक सबैलाई छ तर अरुको अधिकारमाथि खेलबाड गर्ने अधिकार त मैले संविधानको कुनै पनि धारामा देखिन त । राजालाई जनआन्दोलनमा गरिएको दमनको विरोधमा अन्तर्राष्ट्रिय अदालतमा उभ्याउनुपर्ने माग गर्नेहरुले टायर बाल्नेहरुको विरोधमा कहिले बोल्ने हुन् खै ?
अस्थायी शिक्षकलाई स्थायी गर्न भएको अस्थायी शिक्षकको आन्दोलन अनि त्यसपछि शिक्षकको माग पुरा गरिएको विरोधमा विद्यार्थी आन्दोलन, खानेपानी नीजिकरण गर्न बनेको विधेयक पास भएको विरोधमा अर्को आन्दोलन, कमैयाको आन्दोलन, माओवादी पीडितको आन्दोलन, मधेशीको आन्दोलन अनि जनजातीको आन्दोलन, कहि न कही कुनै न कुनै दिन टायर बलेरै छाड्यो । यो आन्दोलनको बाढीसँगै बढेको टायरको प्रदुषण… कहिले सकिने होला ?
यो दोष बाल्नेहरुको मात्र होइन सरकारको पनि हो । टायर बाले पछि मात्र सरकारले कुरो सुन्छ नत्र त के हो के हो । तर बाल्नेहरु यसको नकारात्मक पक्ष प्रति सजग भइदिए र विरोधको अर्को कुनै नयाँ तरिका जुनले अरुलाई दुःख नहुने तर सरकारको पनि कान सम्म सुन्ने उपाय अपनाए त प्रदुषण केही भए पनि कम हुन्थ्यो होला नि… अनि विरोध र बन्दले गर्दा हुने हाम्रो पीडा पनि ।
नत्र फेरी कुनै दिन टायर बालेको विरोधमा टायर आफै बलेर विरोध जनाउला नि ।
This was not the first time that I saw burning tires on the streets of Kathmandu and i know it wont be the last too. I also know I am not the only one to witness this. Burning tires has been like a fashion these days. If you want to make your voice heard, you've got to burn some freaking smelly tires. Needless to say, but this fashion has some serious adverse effects on health. I am not a doctor or an environmentalist, so I am not sure about the exact health hazards that burning tires cause. So I thought of surfing the net searching for Health hazards of Burning tires which i did eventually. And finally, i ended up with this article:
"Burning Tires: Health Hazards" by Thakur Amgai.
Source: http://www.nepalnews.com (VOL. 24, NO. 10, SEPT 10 - SEPT 16 2004 ( BHADRA 25, 2061 B.S. )).
As thousands of people resort to burning tires and other stuffs during agitations and demonstrations, they are obliviously exposing their body to the risk of getting cancer, experts say. The substances used in the composition of tires as well as those formed and released during the process of burning are very likely to cause cancer. Such substances are called carcinogen.
In addition, the burning itself is an undesirable process for environment and public health. As tires are composed of organic materials, the process of burning produces harmful gases like benzene, styrene and 1, 2, 3-butadine.
Not only such harmful gaseous pollutants but very small particulate matters that can enter circulatory system of our body are also released.
According to Bhusan Tuladhar, an environmentalist, while fine particulate matters enter the respiratory tract and invite problems in trachea and lungs, the ultra-fine particles which can include the heavy metals, goes to the inner lungs and enters the circulatory system. The particles that have entered the circulatory system can go to any part of the body along with the blood and cause various kinds of health hazards. Mercury can cause penetration of tissues leading to the cancer of that part while lead causes lead poisoning.
The gaseous pollutants like dioxins formed and released during the process of burning is a very potent carcinogen. "In addition to the heavy metals, dioxin is produced during the process," said Dr. Toran Sharma, an environmental scientist. "Dioxin is one of the most harmful gases in the world and it is very harmful to public health."
Although a detailed study has not been conducted about the health hazards caused by burning tires in the cities, there have been a lot of complaints of respiratory problems when people are exposed to fumes of burning tires.
The oft-repeated modus operandi during the demonstrations suggests that burning tires has emerged as a major threat to public health. Tires are burnt at almost every intersection frequently to protest various things.
The threat to the public health is aggravated by the place and situation when the tires are burnt. Says Tuladhar, "Not only that the tires are burnt in densely populated area, there are a lot of people demonstrating around places where they are burnt. So, many people are exposed to the pollutants."
Children are more vulnerable to the risk created by burning tires. They breathe faster and take in more air and their lungs and other system is not well developed.
Seemingly the problem created by burning tires is a short-term problem. But it has long-term impacts in the environment and public health. The dust of the debris and burnt materials remain in the streets for days after being burnt and are released to the atmosphere every time a vehicle plies over it. People are re-exposed to such substances and they breathe in the particulate matters when they walk or drive in the streets even days after the burning.
I was cruising through web pages, and i landed on one article at bignepal.com. I found this article very nice, so sharing through blog. Hope you will enjoy it. If you want to go to original page, scroll below and click on link. Enjoy the Story!!
I've been spending some amount of time in my thinking to explain to myself what a friend is, and is not. Friendship is the bigger statement. Lots of people are lovers but aren't friends. Lots of people are relatives and aren't friends. Lots of people work together who aren't friends. You can appreciate or admire someone, but that doesn't make them a friend.
We're take friendship as a casual word, but sometimes things happen that take the casualness out of it. When I had my near-death experience last year and the following long recuperation, I had a lot of time to think about what makes someone a friend. If they are scared of you when you need help, sorry, that's not friendship. If their attitude is "for better or worse," if they stick by you through thick and thin, that's when you can tell it's friendship. I do have some friends, but not as many as I thought.
My uncle used to say no matter what your family is there for you when you need them. Last time we talked about this, after my catastrophe, I said him "we know that's not true." And there was a time, when he really needed me that I didn't come through for him. I remember hanging out in my happy suburban house, with the statuesque friend, and the freshly minted fortune, and not getting on a damned plane to help him through the loss of his GF. Luckily I did get to apologize for that, in this lifetime. As always, with me at least, he didn't bear a grudge, he just waved it off as not important.
Most people use the term Friend far too casually. But if they had reason to pause, to think if so and so is really a friend, they would realize they either don't know (the relationship hasn't been tested), or they are not.
I don't have a tidy answer about me and friendship. Sometimes we were friends, and other times, clearly, not. But I guess there's something remarkable in two people overcoming the barriers to friendship that family imposes, especially one as brutal as ours, to find some real communication at some point. Just to connect, for just a few moments, is rare, exceptionally rare.
