  • Nokia’s Lumia

    Saw this NYT report on Nokia Lumia a few days back. Was excited for a while. It felt good to know that more and more people are using the phone (820) that I have been using for the past few months. But I am not satisfied with the phone lately. Everything’s fine except the 3G connectivity. Not sure if it’s the…

  • From inside a bus

    Posting this update just to take advantage of the free WiFi connection (pleasantly surprised, I must admit) in this moving bus that is taking me to Leeds. Left London- the city and the crowd and the buildings- about two hours ago, now I can see a lot of windmills on both sides of the highway.…

  • on quotes and citations

    ,

    I have realized in the past two months that research, the empirical one, is not my cup of tea. I am fine with reportage, in-depth article and long form writing (non-fiction). But I do not enjoy a bit of the scientific method of data gathering, analyzing (quantitative) and presenting them in an organized manner. Respect to…

  • Moonlit nights

    ,

    I love moonlit nights. Especially when the area I am living is submerged in darkness because of a scheduled power cut. I like to see clear sky too. This evening I can see stars, some of them are brighter than others.

  • Maoist Party Literature

    Maoist Party Literature: Realized in past couple of days that I had never read Maoist party literature before. Amazingly complex writeup/sentences in Prachanda’s “work”. Hadn’t read all these “famous” decisions like that of Chunbang meet, 2nd National Conference & Phuntibang meet of the Maoist party during and after the armed conflict (1996-2006). Feels like knowing…

  • बुढासुब्बाका बाँसहरू

    Have you seen, touched (or, written your names on) the beloved bamboos of Budhasubba? 🙂 बिजयपुरका प्यारा बाँसहरू देख्नु, छुनु (र तिनमा आफ्ना नामहरू लेख्नु) भएको छ ? Dambar K Shrestha’s Wave mag story (reproduced in the given link) is very interesting. So is the poem of Ly Kaudinya (a line: बुढा सुब्बा का बाँसहरु मा…

    I couldn’t sleep a wink last night Because we had that silly fight. LOL. There was no fight but a night passed by without me sleeping a wink. First time in many years.
