Getting around your blog hasn’t been much time. But oh! it is you who raised my interest in blog. Remember your reference in Kantipur daily? Much interesting are your articles in Kantipur. I remember your comment on purchase of Wall Street Journal by the ‘media samrat’ Mr. murdoch. It was a typically organized one. I love the way you raise, clarify and customize your presentation on any topic. Another really impressing one was the ’sayaun thunga ..digital mala’. Thanks.

Dear Dinseh dai,
Namaskar.
I’m a regular reader of your article which are published in katipur . Your writing style is also great.And your blogs are also running well.Keep it up.However I’ve also started blog,if you are not so buzy, look it once.Because you are the source of my inspiration. Yes it is.
I’ve read ur many article releated to web,blog, technology etc.After reading your article I came to know that blogs have reshaped the world of web.So, I’m also interested and started, but it’s quite tough for me as I’m not so much familier with the content of blog,rules and regulation.Any way, I bloged at blogger.
It’ll be helful for us if you have published about tips and tricks for new blogger.Or you have already published it………I want to mail you but you are changing your email id frequently…….Any way, remember that you have also become GURU for somebody……….And lastly, belated happy new year-2008

Your occupation and hobbies are’nt be for the negativity. You are the first journalist who really inspired by the positivity. I don’t wanna see you in any negativity in your article coz you never be going to meet with negative person.

You have great talent and professionalism in journalism. I am impressed with the quality that you have kept for your blogs. But the name WSJ for Wagle Street Journal sounds like Wall Street Journal, and I am afraid if people take it as a copied version of the later.
It would be great if people like you start thinking in creating own brand and not copy others.
Good Luck!

hey all ! me too a regular reader of this blog. keep writing man…

Dinesh Ji
How many times you jump here and there, Nepali media has limitations. That’s your on time right decision, to accept the int’l journalism. I always read your article in Kantipur it’s so interesting, especially your SAILI. And your blog, since Jana Aandolan-2006, when I was in Indonesia. Today I got a time to read your blog and came to know that you are posted in New Delhi. It’s good for your carrier. Do the ethical journalism.
Keep it up…bro…

You are doing great Dinesh. I simply love your articles in Koseli and Kathmandu Post. Keep up the good work.
Sanjeev Wagle // January 30, 2010 at 6:04 pm |
Hi Dinesh bro,
I keep on checking your posts..
I find them very interesting…may be because i too am a Nepalese student staying in india..
The way you describe india and compare the same in terms of Nepal is so true..
Why dont you visit some Indian colleges where Nepalese students do study and then write about them, what they feel about staying in india, whats their opinion about Nepal… i mean would they love to be back to Nepal or wont mind staying in india only!!
Anyways…love to read more of your posts!!
Dinesh // February 3, 2010 at 7:27 pm |
Thank you Sanjeev.
I will try to do as per your advice. Plz do check my earlier articles about CA students in Laxminagar and Sanskrit students in Varanasi.
nepalidiot // February 9, 2010 at 7:37 pm |
Needless to say I regularly go through your articles and that I like them a lot. We need more people like you to address us.
Infact our generation of youngsters (refering to those born late seventies to early eighties, got educated at prestigious schools either in Darj., Dehradun, Kathmandu, or from Biratnagar, Dharan, Damak, Birtamod, Birgunj, Hetauda, Bharatpur/Narayangarh, Butwal, Pokhara, Bhairahawa,Nepalgunj and Surkhet), are the ones who are feeling left out of everything. Why?
1) We vividly remember “46″. Most of us were kids and thus we grew up with new democratic nepal.
2) Most of us are bahuns and chhetris from middle and upper middle class. Almost all of us have our own homes with plenty of ancestral land in our “Pahad ” and also in “Terai”.
3) Our parents are wealthy pahade bahuns who were lucky few to passout from school during Panchayati era and holding a governmental posts from khardar, subba upto Adhikrits.
Infact some of our parents are the 1st generation of doctors, engineers, (read overseer) lecturers in nepal.
4) Those from richer families (businessmen, lahures, government secretaries) went to Darjeeling or Dehradun or our own Budhanilkantha and Xavier in Kathmandu for studies. Most of us were the fresh batches of newly opened so called “English Medium Boarding Schools” by Darjeeling and Assam returned nepalese, in cities mentioned above.
5) We woke up with “Jai Jai Kali” of Radio Nepal and were those who frequently listened to “Ghatna Ra Bichar” though we couldn’t figure out everything. National Television was also a kid then. “Ramayan, Mahabharat, Oshin, Biman Chaalak, Twakka Tukka, Saturday movies, Pakistani serials” were favorites. Then we grew a bit older. We were teens now and this was when cable TV had conqured our homes. Nepali Pop, English Pop, Rock, Blues, WWF ( Not “E”) were part of our lives. WE WERE THE LUCKIEST TO HAVE GROWN THIS WAY. NO NEPAL BANDH NO MAOIST NO FEAR ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.
6) We had no fear. Our dreams were few. We wanted to be singers, wanted to have our own bands, wanted a bike and …….. thats it. And our parents wanted us to be Doctor, Engineer or Pilot during all the “AASHIK” of wonderful dashains gone by. They wanted our female members to get married to a decent guy from a wealthy family.
THEN SOMETHING HAPPENED AROUND US.
A BIG MAOIST BANG.
(To Be Continued)
