  • Week Review: Animal Nepal & Judith Miller

    I am wondering how my week passed away. I didn’t actually realize it. Only two things I remember is that I worked a lot and I wasn’t feeling very well throughout the week. Did that sound contradictory? Okay, then that’s what is the truth. It’s an old tradition for me that I suffer from cold…

  • This Ason & That Ason

    Since the original photos of the post were lost because of a technical failure on the web site, I re-posted these photos. Some of the photos were taken in March 2005 while others in 2006. Flower women in Ason A few months ago, I was in Ason, the heart of Old Kathmandu, to see pro-democracy…

  • From Kantipur FM to Supreme Court to Deepak’s Place

    That was quite a busy day yesterday. Spending time in Kantipur FM and in Supreme Court to express solidarity and update on the writ petition. Today’s Valley Banda, general strike in Kathmandu. That’s why I decided not to go to home. I went to Deepak Adhikari’s place yesterday evening. After reading his blog on Dera…

  • Finally, No Lukla At All

    Okay, here is the news. I cancelled by Lukla trip this morning…in fact yesterday late night. More important and historical things are happening in Kathmandu and I want to experience them in person. Yes, I would love to go there sometime later. I miss you Lukla. But what can I do? I think history is…

  • No Lukla For The Day

    Kathmandu: The dateline of this blog tells it all. I am still in the capital city of Nepal. I was supposed to be in Lukla, eastern region, today. But who can ignore the bad weather? Pilots? No. They too love their lives. Passengers too love their lives. I also wish to live a few years…

  • Kavis or Poets of Kantipur

    The word poet or kavi has become a not-to-be-so-proud-of kind of word in my office. Guys address each other with the title kavi or poet. Oh..kavi, the usual way of greeting goes like this, how are you today? And the kavi ji or Mr. Poet replies, Oh..kavi ji, why are you calling me kavi? Please,…

  • Welcoming Winter in Kathmandu

    Kathmandu is exceptionally clear today. Up in North, white and snowy mountains are shining as the sunlight hits upon their cool bodies. The view is clear. It’s beautiful. As I am typing these lines, Guna Raj Luitel is opening windows and praising the scenery that is awesome. Irony is that even though we are proud…

  • The Day in Office, After Dashain

    The first day in office after (three-day-long) Dashain holiday means replying to a question that comes from everyone you meet: How was you Dashain? Yes, I have already written about this in my blog last year. This time too the situation was not different. “Mine was black and white,” I replied to one. “Mine was…

  • The Disconnected Day

    Yesterday, I had to spend whole day without connected to the Internet. The connection at my home didn’t work. It didn’t work for the whole day and I felt damn lazy to go outside looking for a cyber café. Strange! I made many calls (may be more than 10) to my ISP- Enet. Enet staffs…
