Concerns and Realities

DVV Antwerp 10 Miles!!!

My first 10 Miles Experience!

A nice quote...

2009-02-16T14:56:00.001Z

It is so important to let certain things go. To release them. To cut loose. People need to understand that no one is playing with marked cards; sometimes we win and sometimes we lose. Don’t expect to get anything back, don’t expect recognition for your efforts, and don’t expect your genius to be discovered or your love to be understood. Complete the circle. Not out of pride, inability or arrogance, but simply because whatever it is no longer fits in your life. Close the door, change the record, clean the house, get rid of the dust, stop being who you were and become who you are.

Yes, We can!

Yes, We can! – Democrat President-Elect Barack Obama

How can I not write anything for this historical moment? Barack Obama has won the American election. The win may mean many things to many people. For me, It’s a win for a hard-working Afro-American who struggled for his life and proved that there is nothing impossible. I was following every moment of the election result in TV and internet, staying awake late at night and when the final victory was announced, I was immensely glad. I knew there were millions of people who were out there in the world to share that happiest moment. …….The First Black President of United States of America.
Obama, a sign of change. Here is a video of his victory speech. I completely understand why people have tears in their eyes with happiness. This is surely a moment to be glad about!
Obama, We all love you!

The Football Match I missed!

2008-10-28T13:53:00.002Z

As a true supported of Club Brugge, I was supposed to go to watch the First Round of UEFA Cup game in Bern. It was against BSC Young Boys, a team from Bern. I had to cancel the plan at the last minute but the sensation of the match lasted quite last as it ended 2-2 at the last minutes. Glad that we won the home match against them and proceed to the Group phase.

Here is a short video of the game. I don’t know who took this video but we just discovered that my two best friends with whom I was supposed to go are there in the video if you look carefully at 25th second.
FCB OLE OLE!!!!!!!!!

Reality Shows!

2008-09-11T23:24:00.015+01:00

Watching TV sometimes can get on your nerves! I still remember when I used to watch a Nepali program just to criticize how ugly it was. I don’t know they still show that program “Hijo aajaka kuraa” literally “the talks of yesterday and today”. I hated that program but did watch it sometimes coz the next day I had to tell my friends how bad it was!

Here, the Belgian TVs are just crazy about the reality shows! Every channels has reality shows running! The Big brothers or Toast Kannibaal, Lost in Tokyo, Peking express or Temptation Island or Boer zoekt vrouw! (Farmer searches woman)

Ok, back to the point, I wanna talk about the “Celebrity Shock”. It’s a reality show at a Belgian TV (VTM) where popular Flemish celebrities go to different destinations to feel the different aspects of live. Well, they are supposed to feel the shocks. There are 4 duos who depart to 4 different destinations of the world.

Interestingly, a duo is actually now in Nepal. 48 years old Flemish actress and authoress Pascale Platel and 29 years old Flemish actor, also very popular as Simon van Wyck from TV series “Sara” are facing Shocks everyday in a sort of Buddhist monastery institution.

Well, Pascale and Gert are now in Nepal for Celebrety Shock. They are placed in a Buddhist monastery somewhere nearby Bouddhanath ( I reckon), in north east of KTM. They will be there separated from the outer world and will live like a monk and nun.

This is now the second episode on air and actually I’m watching it now and writing this.

I’m not against the reality shows. That’s something I’m very sure of. But the overload of commerciality’s in the program makes it so ugly that I just can’t stand it. Its not that I’m inspired to write about it coz they are now showing Nepal but the whole idea they create about the third world is so ridiculous.
And it doesn’t only go about the problems of a selected location. Its about the way how they show it at TV.

Like the reality show, “The Temptation Island” where 8 young couples were severely tested for their faith to each other. Of course, even though they knew there was always a camera watching them, they ended of being messy with each other’s partners and so! These sort of reality shows just make fun of the whole human life aspects...Love, sentiment and relationship. Moreover, people seem to like it. They think that it should be like this in reality and I guess some people do even try to live through the reality show!

Is it impact of materialism? The developed mentality? The independency? An answer seems to be deeper than we think!

Back to “Celebrity Shock” again! Ok, so there is a duo (Pascale and Gert) living in a Buddhist Monastery. They have to adopt the life of a Nun and Monk there, learn to meditate, eat in a mess, and sleep with 100s other people in the same small hall… of course, the shocks!

Ok, here are now my concerns; I don’t think it actually shows the real picture of Nepal. Im not saying that they should show the “real Nepal” but the nature of the program seems more suitable for a country where Buddhism has so many influences in life. How many Nepali do live like a monk where 88% of the people actually are Hindu and where Buddhism and Hinduism live together in a perfect harmony. A separation between these two religions in Nepal is very hard coz they are so much mixed up with each other. It pictures Nepal as a real Buddhist country but in fact it’s not fully true.

Our duo (Pascale and Gert) is having lot of of shocks there! The duos who signed up for a program chose to go to receive the shocks themselves. I thought that they would somehow be prepared to discover a new world, cultures, location and circumstances. But our duo isn't seem to be prepared. They miss their Belgium so much. I, obviously, understand that they miss home, (who doesn’t…) but the way they express it is so ridiculous. They say whatever they like just coz those monks don't understand Dutch. Why is it so difficult for you to take it as the way it is when you chose to go there yourself? You could have always lived in your “luxurious clean apartment” and wouldn’t have had a single word to complain about but now you have chosen to discover something new but not to impose your lifestyles there or not to make any stupid comment about it. It’s the way people live there, and they like it and they appreciate it regardless you like it or not. They didn’t ask you to come there so you can’t play the boss! Why don’t you care that there is camera filming you and whatever you say for anything will be shown to millions of people later.

You are not at your home, you at least have to realise that. Our Simon (Gert) desperately misses his cigarettes. I don’t smoke so I don’t know how bad it is to be away from cigarettes but our Simon’s comments were just too funny! He has to sleep with other children at same hall and what he says when he wakes up the next morning is something to smile but not to appreciate!!!

Other duos are in Mumbai India, Greenland, Guyana and their stories aren’t less interesting too.

I’m personally not against the reality shows filmed in third world. They can be interesting as it gives you a chance to discover and see a different world. Adventurous shows let you test your horizons and talents too. “Expeditie Robinson” can be a good example of that where people are tested with nature.

To be precise, I’m against the makers of those reality shows which laughs at and contempt the culture, human who live there in particular way and their traditions. Dear western program makers, it’s not bad what they do there, it just different than the way you are used to. Just because you learnt to eat with fork and knife doesn’t mean that eating with hands is bad. People who eat with hand aren’t doing anything wrong but they are just doing it differently than you are used to. I know it’s a very simple example to prove a big theory but sometimes things can be so simple as long as you can have a look it from their eyes. If you can laugh about their styles they can laugh about yours too. It’s not about civilization. You can’t just pop up into a culture and say “they are not civilized”. And I don’t think Civilization has anything to do with Modernism or Scientification.

Well, this is the world we live in these days where the night life of Paris Hilton or Britney Spears is more important than the dying people in Iraq. It doesn’t become a news when people have nothing to eat in Africa but we spend hours watching how to be slim.

I know complaining isn't a solution...

Peace,
Raj

Back to Busy Belgium!

2008-09-04T01:12:00.008+01:00

I'm now back to Belgium after a wonderful trip to Slovenia and Italy. It was a long journey from Venice to Gent. I had to use all the modes of transportation to travel today... Boat, Bus, Plane, Train and Tram!!! It was really nice to meet some great couch surfers and travellers in Slovenia. Climbing the holist and the highest mountain in Slovenia, Triglav, was also another interesting part of the journey.
I will surely upload photos soon.

I can’t wait to start another journey again. Who knows... Prague, Copenhagen, Valencia, Vetlanda or even USA! There are obviously options enough!
See ya all!

Following Slovenian Trail

2008-08-12T02:35:00.007+01:00

Next week Monday starts my Slovenian journey. Its gonna be a long 10 hrs drive to Ljubljana from Gent and most likely I’ll be deadly tired. The last weekend job before the holiday finally begins doesn’t seem less challenging either.
Anyway, Slovenia……..here I come!!!

Here is the basic plan of the journey from 18th August till 3rd September:

18th.......... Drive to Ljubljana
19th- 21st.... Ljubljana
22nd-23rd..... Novo-Mesto and river Kolpa area
24th-26th..... The eastern areas (Maribor, Putj)
27th-29th..... Triglav National park
30th-31st..... Ljubljana
1st -2nd...... Venice (Italy)
3rd........... Fly back to Belgium from Venice Treviso

The first part of the journey would be wandering around Ljubljana. I’m still searching a couch in Ljubljana but I haven’t been so lucky enough yet to find a host for me. Its coz I have been really busy lately and don’t have time enough to write CS requests. But I do have a host in Novo Mesto. During the Park visit, I will be staying at the park’s little huts!
Rest of the accommodation plan is still needed to be updated.

Hehe, if you have a couch free in Slovenia, Plssssssssssss do let me know! I Promise im gonna be a good guest!

There is a reason why I chose Slovenia for my east European trip. Well, Paulo Coelho, obviously! His book “Veronica decides to die” tells about a Slovenian girl. I, as an amateur translator of his books, thought it very necessary to visit Ljubljana before even I think to translate that book. His books have impressed my life in a deep way and I really hope to translate few other books after Alchemist.

Except this, rest is all back to normal! Summer is absolutely at its full speed and I’m doing my best to cope with it. I had a very busy and Gentse Feesten and had few days spent in Paris too. I guess I needed that peace from Paris to clam myself after those wild festival nights!

The blog was supposed to be updated frequently but it hasn’t been so. It has rarely become a blog to post my poems every now and then.

Anyway, life has its own turns and I just had to accept it. There were days when I would have liked to share many things about me but lately it has become more personal things and the blog hasn’t been as it was supposed to be. I hope my readers (if there are any ;-) ) weren’t disappointed for that.
To mention, Archana Khadka, a special friend of mine is flying to US on the same day I’m beginning my journey. She will be studying micro-biology for few years. I’ve been telling her the stories of studying abroad and hope she will have a fantastic time over there. I will keep my finger crossed!

Well, for my journey, I will try to keep myself closer to nature and avoid being a typical tourist. I’m very much open to my trip. I don’t like to travel in planned schedule anyway. Once I arrive in Slovenia, all I would be keeping in mind is my flight back to Belgium from Venice Treviso on 3rd of Sep. So, if you know any interesting place that this "Nepali-Belgian" guy should see, then your advices are highly appreciated. One thing for sure, I wanna see real Slovenian people, eat Slovenian food drink Slovenian beers and visit rural part of the country so that I can proudly say I HAVE BEEN to Slovenia.

Inspiration

2008-07-07T00:36:00.002+01:00

Sometimes, we all have to feel
alone and frightened before
we can appreciate the life
that surrounds us.

Life changes as we grow,
and we must learn to accept this.
The more we learn, the more we grow.
Hurting, being scared,
feeling alone, and crying
are part of the learning process;
understanding our feelings
makes life challenging
and rewarding.
Going through difficult times
makes you who you are.

You have taken one of
the most significant steps
you will ever have to.
Enter each new day
telling yourself that
you deserve to smile.
Enter each new day believing
that you can make someone else smile inside,
because you are a beautiful person.
Your kind of beauty is inside you,
and it fills the world
with your presence.
People can feel that.
Be happy; your whole life
is ahead of you.
It is your life, your chance
to be who and what you want to be.

Sterchele, You Will Never Walk Alone

Turn back

2008-04-17T23:49:00.002+01:00

When time comes you find yourself in deep trouble
like a ship lost in the mid-sea during a storm
You want to cry and need a shoulder to lean on
Seem hopeless and could not move on...
Got no one around whom to count on.

Maybe you have totally forgotten me
Have given up on me for somebody
Think I am useless and nothing but a strange man
So you shun and make a mock on me.

You might be surprised when you turn your back
See me smile with open arms and extended hands
For unlike them whom you prefer to be with than me
I'll never give up...
Turn my back on you.

I'll be your candle
Offer you light so you may not stumble

Years have passed

2008-02-11T11:39:00.001Z

Years have Passed since leaving home
journeying, a traveller alone
I am walking, my friend! Walking
away from the beginning, toward an end unknown.
Years have passed.....

Every morning I set out to walk
and every evening I light the stars
when every day ends the same way
Why does it make me so afraid?
Years have passed.....

When, as I go, wherever I stay
feels like my house to me
if I were to retrace to my steps tomorrow
how would I know my home?
Years have passed.....

Happy New Year 2008!!!

2007-12-28T14:36:00.000Z

All those promises we made
All those oaths we took together
Beautiful days we spent
Those lovely nights we passed
You are the one who brought dawn into my life
Do you recollect? Do you remember?

We stayed awake all nights
We were lost in each other
We spoke about our love
Out of loneliness
We met each other everyday
Do you recollect? Do you remember?

In your arms, I found solace and spent precious moments of my life
Your beautiful moon-like face that I etched on my heart
We were so close
And I happened to be your destiny
On my lips was your name all the time
Do you recollect? Do you remember?

In daylight, in my dreams
You are the one always in my sight
You are my life; you are what my story is all about
You are my destiny
I loved you and took you for my own
Do you recollect? Do you remember?

You gave me a place in your heart
With love, you lent colours to my dreams
Your lips I kissed,
In your arms I swayed,
In your eyes I dwelt,
Do you recollect? Do you remember?

WISHING YOU A VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR 2008!!!
-Raj

So, I would like to invite you all for an aperitif drink on Wednesday (17 October) in Café AFSNIS at Sint-Jacob from 9 pm onwards.

I’m really looking forward to see you all there!

Nepali lyrics
सयौं थूंगा फूलका हामी, एउटै माला नेपाली
सार्वभौम भइ फैलिएका, मेची-महाकाली।

प्रकृतिका कोटी-कोटी सम्पदाको आंचल
वीरहरुका रगतले, स्वतन्त्र र अटल।

ज्ञानभूमि, शान्तिभूमि तराई, पहाड, हिमाल
अखण्ड यो प्यारो हाम्रो मातृभूमि नेपाल।

बहुल जाति, भाषा, धर्म, संस्कृति छन् विशाल
अग्रगामी राष्ट्र हाम्रो, जय जय नेपाल।

Jñānabhūmi, śāntibhūmi Tarāī, pahād, himāl

Translation

We are hundreds of flowers, the one garland - Nepali
Sovereign, spread out from Mechi to Mahakali.

Amassing nature's millions of resources
By the blood of heroes, independent and immovable.

Land of knowledge, land of peace, Terai, hills, mountains
Indivisible this beloved, our motherland Nepal.

The diverse races, languages, faiths, and cultures are so extensive
Our progressive nation, long live long live Nepal.

Look at me!

One more poem again!

When you find yourself feeling down.
When the past comes back to haunt your dreams.
If you find yourself thinking it was all your fault.
Turn around and look at me.
See the love for you in my eyes.
See the friendship that will hold you as you cry.
Feel the beating of my heart and all of the special things you brought into my life and heart.
Just look at me.
When you shed tears of past hurts and pains.
You think it was your fault it came to an end.
When you think you are alone.
Turn around and look at me.
You will find a love so true and love that believes in you.
You will know from the look in my eyes that you are someone special.
You have nothing to feel bad about you were not the one who was bad.
Look at me feel my touch
Look at me and feel my love
Look at me and see yourself in my eyes
I think you find you are more than you ever knew.
I know you will see yourself through different eyes.
Your heart will be touched and your life and thoughts will change.
Look at me let me change your world.
Let me show you how love should be.
Let me show you a world of love you never knew.
Just turn around and see me with you.
Look at me I will always see the real you and I will always love you.
If you look at me you will know each word I write is true.
Look at me.

Empty!

2007-05-26T16:35:00.002+01:00

What is this empty feeling? A blank so empty so heavy?
Will it ever go away, or worse will I let it? Forget it?
Don't know that I'll ever be ready.

A burden on my heart, clogs my mind, drowns my eyes, tears my faith apart.
Why did you do this? Is this really you?
How and when did you go?
That I'll ever accept this, I don't know.

Is time flying by or standing still? A ticking clock running in circles trying to fill
This empty feeling.
Will it ever go away, or worse will I let it? Forget it?
Don't know that I'll ever be ready.

I take a deep breath again, try to shake it off as if it were attached and not within.
This is for the better I sometimes hear my head screaming while in fear.
Am I trying to find what I've lost? Or trying to gain something new here?

That I'll ever find it or who? I can't see today for tomorrow as I didn't see yesterday that this sorrow
Would bring this empty feeling.
Will it ever go away, or worse will I let it? Forget it.
Don't know that I'll ever be ready.

A burden on my heart, clogs my mind, drowns my eyes, tears my faith apart.
Why did you do this? Is this really you?
How and when did you go?
That I'll ever accept this, I don't know
This empty feeling.

One of those poems of my literary age!

2007-05-04T22:04:00.000+01:00

Maybe on your way

There won’t be my steps

Maybe in your eyes

There won’t be my dreams

But you will always be there

Knocking at my heart.....

Many days were past

Ample excuses were made

Meeting turned into tragedy

Like the songs without melody

Maybe in your darkness

There won’t be my enlightenment

Maybe in your songs

There won’t be my words

But you will always be there

Knocking at my heart.....

When I remembered you,

Tears rolled down and I asked them

Why they were out,

They replied that there is someone beautiful in eyes

And they had no place there anymore.

Maybe in your fantasy

There won’t be my portraits

Maybe in your deserted winter

There won’t be my spring

But you will always be there

Knocking at my heart.....

Time is restless

Like all the feelings

Heart is sensitive

With no endings

Maybe in your dreams

There won’t be my visions

Maybe in your reality

There won’t be my practicality

But you will always be there

Knocking at my heart.....

.....forever!

Saddam is dead... Will it improve Iraq then???

2006-12-31T00:44:00.000Z

Saddam Hussein (69) has been hanged. A full stop that ends the sentence but begins the questions….. I, personally, don’t believe that we have right to take somebody’s life regardless what he/she has done in past.

Well, I just thought to post some random comments that I read in BBC website. Really heart touching and explanatory to see Iraq is deteriorating. Forthcoming series of worse situation will show that the decision of US was not right and in fact its bringing more terrorism in the world.
Here are some of the comments from BBC Website.

To read more, please click here.

No one has the right to take the life of another, regardless of what they have done. Saddam was an evil man but he should have been given a trial at the Hague and should have been imprisoned for what he did rather than executed. The execution looked like it was carried out by some form of militia rather than the legitimate government of Iraq. It looked like one of the videos we have seen of the execution of western hostages.
Nicky Whiting, Cambridge

As a Middle East specialist I view this action as a judgement by the people and government of Iraq. It's their business, the rest of us have no grounds for comment one way or the other. On the other hand, I believe it's incumbent on the media to respect the justice meted out this morning by the Iraqis, and be culturally sensitive enough to support the action by simply no longer showing Saddam's picture in any form, or for that matter even mentioning his name. Oblivion - true justice for him.
Dick Barratt, Carmel Valley CA USA

Why was Saddam not tried at the Hague for Genocide like other leaders. In this case he could not have received a death sentence.

His hanging was pre planned by the Americans and carried out by the puppet Iraqi government.
ajmal nasir, manchester

Saddam's execution is simply the unjust end to an unjust trial at the end of an unjustwar. The principle of 'killing for killing' is both hypocritical and barbaric.

It is particularly sad that nearly every European country made a statement voicing their opposition to capital punishment, and yet not one did a jot to intervene. It is as pathetic as a grown adult whistling with their hands in their pockets while a school bully beats up other children in the playground.

Edward Anderson, Near Peterborough

It seems hard that we in the civilised world would wake-up to the news that the ruler of IRAQ has been put to death when the two leaders that put him their are either asleep or on holiday!

The only person that the British government can put up for comment is our new foreign secretary who because of the time of year and our seasonal climate, was not away on a caravan holiday.

How can anyone think that we are not under the spell of the USA when our leader is holed-up in the USA and when this
peter payne, burnham on crouch

I think that it is unacceptable that in the 21st Century we still have such inhuman acts. I don't believe that Saddam was a saint and neither do I believe that he did not deserve punishment but not in this way.
His executers just proved that they are as good as him: remorseless killers. And is Saddam's death going to solve Iraq's problems? Hardly. It will only worsen them.
Anastasia, Berlin

Not to forget that Saddam had a very cruel upbringing during his early years of childhood. Being brutally beaten and only God knows what other painful experiences Saddam had been put through by his stepfather.
Saddam should have received professional help.
Capital Punishment/ Public Execution is a cheap and quick way to get rid of sick people in society, but in the long run it does not help or prevent the loss of further lives, instead it makes us just as bad and heartless as the perpetrator
shazna begum, north london

Only if humans could answer hate with forgiveness (love), we would have a better world. I am strongly against killing in any shape and form. Only god has the right to take life.
Sina Rabbani, Laguna Beach, CA

I don't understand the gloating.

Saddam was just hanged for an incident that occurred in 1982, while he was our ally. Why didn't we cut off relations with the "monster" then?...Because he was too helpful against Iran, and served our purposes.

He is accused of using the poision gas the CIA gave him in 1983 against the Kurds in '89. Now, gassing civilians is a horrific crime against humanity, but who is more guilty, the dictator who used it or the country that gave it to him?
Brian Kasbar, Spokane, WA

Irrespective of what Saddam's past actions he did not receive a fair trial in Iraq. I think he had a better chance of a proper trial in US courts if that was ever jurisdictionally possible. Plus seeing people celebrating a death, again no matter what he was found guilty of doing in the past is deeply disturbing. justice should not only be done, but should manifestly and undoubtedly be seen to be done.
Peter, NYC, USA

The death of one does not create a balance with the deaths of hundreds of thousands caused by an illegal invasion
Richard Donaldson-Alves, kanthararom

Does anyone deserve to die?
Sophie

No doubt he was very bad and got just what he deserved. In a way I'm surprised that the US & UK allowed this to go ahead because it is a great gamble. Nobody should forget that this is just the current episode in the game for control of the last big oil reserves on the planet. Iran will be next unless Iraq stabilizes. From my research there will only be losers here, all of us, and them more so.
Jim, Stoke-on-Trent

Over three quarters of a million Iraqi children dead because of the sanctions - now an estimated over six hundred thousand Iraqis dead in the violence following the invasion of Iraq.

The message to the world ? This is what happens to those who are foolish enough to be the friends of America, as Saddam was.
Richard Haut, Nice, France

What a twisted world we live in. We cure evil with evil. He was cruel and evil but by killing him, we've agreed with him that killing another human being is OK. How can anyone sit down and eat while watching the images of a man about to be hung. I didn’t like him but i feel sick that many people can sit down and seriously feel happy. We watch people getting blown up or murdered in Iraq and not even cringe, what kind of world do we live in? We no longer fear images of violence and that scares me.

Nepali students in Belgium

2006-12-17T17:11:00.003Z

NESAB (Nepalese Students' Association in Belgium) was supposed to keep the data of Nepali student in Belgium and it was quite active few years ago. I had published a name-list of students here but its now about two years without any modification. So, I decided to take the list offline so that it wont bring any misunderstanding. You can always contact me if you end up at this page and I will try to help you in any way I can.
Thanks!

Your Regret

2006-12-16T12:43:00.000Z

Too stupid to know.
Too dumb and let me go.
One day you’ll know;
That you shouldn’t have let me go.

Too immature to understand.
Too small to hold my hand.
One day you’ll understand;
That you should’ve been a woman.

Too much of a coward and a liar.
Too unwise so you let it go sour.
One day you’ll see you’re a coward;
That day will be too late, it started this past hour.

Too much of a girl.
Too cruel, you treated me like a doll.
One day you’ll see you were arch;
You’ll wish you hadn’t been such a girl .

Too selfish to see what goes around.
Too immature to see beyond your bound.
One day you’ll hear crying in your sound;
That what goes around, comes around.

Together Forever

2006-12-11T11:00:00.001Z

If there's anything you need
All you have to do is say
You knew you satisfy everything in me
We shouldn't waste a single day

So don't stop me falling
It's destiny calling
A power I just can't deny
It's never changing
Can't you hear me, I'm saying
I want you for the rest of my life

Together forever and never to part
Together forever we two
And don't you know
I would move heaven and earth
To be together forever with you

If they ever get you down
There's always something I can do
Because I wouldn't ever wanna see you frown
I'll always do what's best for you

There ain't no mistaking
It's true love we're making
Something to last for all time
It's never changing
Can't you hear me, I'm saying
I want you for the rest of my life

For the lady I Love!

2006-12-10T01:28:00.000Z

Appreciating every single moments of happiness I’ve with you,

Thanking you for bringing back Spring in my lifeless Winter,

Longing to find you all the time in my sight,

Loving you as you are……… for April Dela Merced!!!

This is what I’ve come up with for you!

Beauty in your eyes between your pupils
You’re the angel of every catching vision that I’ve ever seen
Having seen all the nature of this horizon
Having seen all the dust of love long away from home,
You’re the sole flower of my garden that always shines in vision
You’re the divine companion of my trusty journey that shows the right path
You’re that piece of my destiny that reminds me watching the raining rainbow
Truly you’re fleeting me the light of your immense love that reflects in my solitude
Every drop of your words nurtures me in your absence
Not having you near me in these disturbing roads that causes me lot’s of whisper apart
But
Your beautiful smiling face enters into my own picture and
Reminds me the feelings of your soul that always cherishes me in my deepest core
Imagining you in all the way and wishing to reach into your arms
Rhythm of your voice replicates in my every breath
This shows the splendour of your heart
Heart of your deepest stunning heart
Pure than season of blooming
Higher than spirit of love itself
Innocent than innocence itself
And beautiful than beautiful itself…

what have I been doing?

2006-12-03T23:57:00.000Z

Hello,
I’ve been trying to work to put some cool widgets in the site but it hasn’t been working so far as I have thought. OK, here what I need.
• Media player plug in for cool FM, Top Radio and few Nepali fm stations
• A play list of my favourite songs where songs could be selected and played
• A place where readers can subscribe for the blog
• A Google search for the site

Well, considering zero knowledge about java script and html text, I am here to set up an advance site. It took hours to figure out the templates for finding link widgets and correcting it. The problem was, when you click the link within the site, the new site doesn’t open in new tab or in new window. All I had to do was add target’_blank’. How would I know that it could only be found in expanded tab of widgets and I had to change it for every link page I’ve.
I have a different blog via Wordpress, I stopped using it as I found it too complicated and the server was too slow to load. As unsuccessful try of loading php and mysql at my computer, I preferred editing the site directly via web, which is obviously the simple way.
Here you see the contrast, without even knowing the basic ABCD, I’m dreaming to write a poem!
Well, after hours of work, I managed my radio links to open in a different tab where you can still enjoy. I hope to figure out the play list thingy too. I hope it’s not so hard as I have already been able to put a single song,
Dj Felix- on the floor, if you listen this song, pls don’t hear the words, just follow the melody!
I know wanna know………
Well, I will stop trying to go to page templates for few days as I have to prepare few reports for school.

Quick note:
The newly opened Mo Mo business from a friend is growing rapidlyin Gent!
Here is pic of a plate of Mo Mo I ordered this weekend!
hmmm, lekker!!!
Till next week then,
Enjoy!

New Nepali National Anthem!

2006-12-01T11:29:00.000Z

We have finally been able to come out with a new national anthem! The old one anthem was nothing more than a prayer for "the king". So finally, the time has arrived to create something new to lead Nepal in a way of republics uniting all of us!
This is how new national anthem goes!
TO be honest, I’ve no idea how it should be sung though!

सयौं थूंगा फूलका हामी, एउटै माला नेपाली
सार्वभौम भइ फैलिएका, मेची-महाकाली ।

प्रकृतिका कोटी-कोटी सम्पदाको आंचल
वीरहरुका रगतले, स्वतन्त्र र अटल।

ज्ञानभूमि, शान्तिभूमि तराई, पहाड, हिमाल
अखण्ड यो प्यारो हाम्रो मातृभूमि नेपाल।

बहुल जाति, भाषा, धर्म, संस्कृति छन् विशाल
अग्रगामी राष्ट्र हाम्रो, जय जय नेपाल।

(From hundreds of flowers, we are one garland Nepali

Sovereign we are spread across Mechi Mahakali...........)

Maoist,.....were they terroist?

2006-12-01T10:39:00.000Z

Who are Maoist?

Formation

The Communist Party of Nepal-Maoist (CPN-M), currently a proscribed outfit, was formed in 1995 following a split in the Communist Party of Nepal-Unity Centre. A radical faction led by Pushpa Kamal Dahal alias Comrade Prachanda and Baburam Bhattarai set up the CPN-Maoist and denounced the Communist Party of Nepal (Unified Marxist-Leninists) or the CPN (UML) and other mainstream communist factions as ‘renegades’ and ‘revisionists’ due to their participation in the parliamentary process. It resorted to an armed struggle on February 13, 1996, by attacking police stations in the Rukum and Rolpa districts in north-western Nepal and thereby declaring a ‘People’s War’ in Nepal.

Earlier, various communist groups had actively participated in the People’s Movement of 1989-90 operating under the umbrella organisation of United National People’s Movement (UNPM). However, after the conclusion of the People’s Movement, these groups were not satisfied with the multi-party democratic system under constitutional monarchy. In order to contest the May 1991 elections, they formed a two-tier organisation, revolutionary front and political front, known as the Communist Party of Nepal-Unity Centre and United People’s Front of Nepal (UPFN) respectively. The UPFN emerged as the third largest group in the Parliament and also performed well in the local bodies’ elections of 1992. Gradually, however, ideological and personality clashes led to the disintegration of Unity Centre and the UPFN split into two factions, led by Nirmal Lama and Niranjan Govind Vaidiya at one end and Comrade Prachanda and Bhattarai on the other end. Subsequently, the decision by Prachanda not to participate in the 1994 elections led to the creation of CPN-M in 1995 as an underground outfit.

Objectives

The Maoists announced a ‘People’s War’ on February 13, 1996, with the slogan “let us march ahead on the path of struggle towards establishing the people’s rule by wreaking the reactionary ruling system of state.” They strongly believe in the philosophy of Mao Tsetung that “Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun.” They also draw inspiration from the ‘Revolutionary Internationalist Movement’ and Peru’s left wing extremist guerrilla movement, the Sendero Luminoso (Shining Path). The radical communist parties from different parts of the world have provided ideological sustenance for the Nepali Maoists.

The ‘People’s War’ aims to establish a ‘New Democracy’ in Nepal and constitutes an “historical revolt against feudalism, imperialism and so-called reformists.” The immediate reason given by the Maoists for declaring the ‘People’s War’ was the failure of the Nepalese Government to respond to a memorandum presented by its representatives to Prime Minister Sher Bahadur Deuba on February 4, 1996. The memorandum listed 40 point demand related to “nationalism, democracy and livelihood”. These included among others the abolition of royal privileges and the promulgation of a new constitution, and the abrogation of the Mahakali treaty with India on the distribution of water and electricity and the delineation of the border between the two countries.

Leadership, Cadre and Command Structure

The chief of operations of the CPN-M is its Chairman, Pushpa Kamal Dahal (better known as Comrade Prachanda). He is also Chairman of the ‘Central Committee’, Member of ‘Standing Committee’ and ‘Supreme Commander’ of the People’s Liberation Army.

Another front ranking leader Baburam Bhattarai heads the political wing of the Maoists called the United People’s Front (UPF). Bhattarai alias Lal Singh @ Jitbir @ Mukti Manab, a ‘Politburo and Standing Committee’ member, is reportedly responsible for planning and foreign affairs, and was co-ordinator of the dialogue team in 2003. According to the Nepal Police Website, he is in-charge of mid central command (since 3rd cc meeting in September 2004).

The apex military institution of the Maoists is the Central Military Commission of the Communist Party of Nepal (Maoists), which was constituted in 1998.

Government estimates provided in early 2003 on the CPN-M strength indicated that there are approximately 5,500 combatants, 8,000 militia, 4,500 cadres, 33,000 hard core followers, and 200,000 sympathizers.

The main fighting and support forces consist of Magars, Tharus, Janjatis (Gurungs, Rais, Limbus, Tamangs, Dalits, Brahmins and Chhetris, the last two also providing the political and military leadership). Among the Maoist fighters – about 60 per cent – are deployed in the mid-west and west in their strongholds. Another 10 per cent are in the far west with around 10 percent in Gorkha, the rest is located in Kathmandu valley and east of it.

A considerable number of retired Gurkha soldiers of the British and the Indian Army inhabit many of the Maoist-affected areas and Nepalese security agencies have suspected that these former soldiers along with those retired and deserters from the Royal Nepalese Army (RNA) have/are involved in training the insurgents.

Women have been prominent in the recruiting profile. Available reports indicate that one-fifth to one-third of the cadre and combatants may be women. Reportedly, every village has a revolutionary women’s organisation. There are usually two women in each unit of 35-40 men, and they are used to gather intelligence and act as couriers. Baburam Bhattarai was quoted as saying in Spacetime on April 18, 2003, that fifty percent of cadres at the lower level, thirty percent of soldiers and ten percent of members of central committee of the outfit were women.

The All Nepal National Independent Students’ Union (Revolutionary), or ANNISU-R is the student wing of the Maoists. Its membership comprises students from school to the university level. The general success in all the strikes called by ANNISU-R, especially in the educational institutions, (at present it is also one of the key student organisation in the anti-King agitation) shows the strong hold of the organisation. According to a report of June 2003, the ANNISU-R comprises approximately 400,000 members.

Reportedly, weaponry in their possession include AK-47 rifles, self-loading rifles, .303 rifles, country guns, hand grenades, explosives, detonators, mortars, and light machine guns. Nearly 85 per cent of these weapons are reportedly looted from the police and RNA.

Structurally, the CPN-M consists of the standing committee at the top, followed by the politburo, central committee, regional bureaus, sub-regional bureaus, district committees, area committees, and cell committees. The Politburo issues directives with the assistance of an approximately 25-member central committee. The main armed component reportedly consists of six guerrilla battalions, which launches military action in response to instructions relayed through their individual chief commissars (one per battalion), who are central committee members. The politburo and standing committee reportedly formulate most of the political and strategic policies. The standing committee, with approximately ten members, is the most powerfully body in the CPN-M. There are five regional bureaus: eastern, central, Kathmandu valley, western and international department.

Organisational structure of the CPN-Maoist

Party	People’s Army	United Front
Standing committee	Central military commission	United people's district committees
Politburo	Regional military commissions	United people's area committee
Central committee	Sub-regional military commissions	United people's village committees
Regional bureaus (five)	District military commissions	United people's ward committees
Sub-regional bureaus (in some places special sub-regional bureau)	Included in this are: Temporary battalion
District committees	Companies
Area committees	Platoons
Cell committees	Squads (separate people's militias also exist under united village people's committees)

Areas of Operation

The guerrillas operate to varying degrees in 68 of the 75 districts that comprise Nepal. Their influence varies between moderate to extreme in these districts. In the districts of Rolpa, Rukum, Jajarkot, Salyan, Pyuthan and Kalikot in mid-western Nepal, Government presence is limited to the district headquarters with the rest of each district under Maoist control. The Nepalese Home Ministry has designated these districts as ’sensitive class A’. Nine districts, namely Dolakha, Ramechhap, Sindhuli, Kavrepalanchowk, Sindhupalchowk, Gorkha, Dang, Surkhet and Achham, are classified as ‘Sensitive Class B’, while 17 ‘Sensitive Class C’ districts are Khotang, Okhaldhunga, Udaypur, Makwanpur, Lalitpur, Nuwakot, Dhading, Tanahu, Lamjung, Parbat, Baglung, Gulmi, Arghakhachi, Bardiya, Dailekh, Jumla and Dolpa.

The Maoist insurgency initially commenced in the three districts of Rolpa, Rukum and Jajarkot and eventually spread throughout Nepal. Maoists have very strong bases in Western and mid-Western region and partially in Eastern region.

According to the Nepal Police, the following areas are affected by Maoist violence:

External Linkages

According to available information, the Maoists of Nepal have well-established linkages with Indian left-wing extremist organizations, primarily with the People’s War Group (PWG) and Maoist Communist Centre (MCC). The first signs of contacts were reportedly registered during 1989-1990, when the two groups started collaborating in order to expand their influence. Towards this end, they began the process of laying a corridor, which is now widely referred to as the Revolutionary Corridor (RC) extending from Nepal to across six Indian States, including Bihar, Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, Andhra Pradesh, Orissa and Madhya Pradesh. This entire area has been identified in Maoist literature as the Compact Revolutionary Zone (CRZ). The CRZ was organized by the Nepal and Indian members of the Naxalite (the popular term for left-wing extremism in India- the movement originated in Naxalbari [hence the term Naxal] in the State of West Bengal in the late 1960s) Movement, in a meeting at Siliguri in the Indian State of West Bengal during August 2001.

Gradually, the interaction between Maoist insurgents and the PWG increased with the sharing of knowledge about guerilla warfare, bomb manufacturing techniques and arms training. Nepalese Maoists had sent their delegates to the March 2001 Congress of PWG held at Abuz Marh in the Bastar region of Chhattisgarh. The establishment of CRZ gave a wider space and platform for all the proscribed Nepal and Indian left-wing extremist organizations to strengthen their bases in both the countries.

The more radical forces in South Asia, including both the PWG and Nepalese Maoists, are members of the Revolutionary Internationalist Movement (RIM). In July 2001, about 10 extreme Left Wing (Maoist) groups in South Asia formed the Coordination Committee of Maoist Parties and Organization of South Asia (CCOMPOSA), in which the Nepalese Maoists, PWG, MCC, Purbo Banglar Movement (Bangladesh), Communist Party of Ceylon (Sri Lanka) and other Indian left-wing extremist parties became members. The appearance of graffiti in remote villages in Naxalite-strongholds, in Rayakal and Mallapur mandals (administrative unit) of Karimnagar district in Andhra Pradesh, hailing CCOMPOSA points the spread of the idea of a common front of left-wing extremist groups in South Asia. Moreover, the Central Committee of the Maoists, in late-January 2002, passed a resolution stating that it would work together with the PWG and the MCC in fighting the ban imposed on the latter two organisations in India, under the Prevention of Terrorism Act, 2002. A year earlier, in 2001, the Maoists had sent a senior leader named Gaurav as a fraternal delegate to attend the 9th Congress of the PWG. Reports indicate that the Maoists and the PWG have also formed the Indo-Nepal Border Region Committee to coordinate their activities in North Bihar and along the India-Nepal border.

My arms keep missing you!

Starting a blog… Moving to a new horizon???

2006-11-30T01:33:00.000Z

In this all years, I’ve been trying to understand myself. The constantly changing feelings, their impacts in my own reactions and my way to behold the life.

Touchy and hearty but an open heart for smiles and happiness

I hesitated most of the time to let my feelings be expressed. I kept it always within me to be thought and re-thought until I come out with a conclusive meaning of my decision.

Was I slow then? Why did I let myself fall in the thoughtfulness dilemma? Why has it been hard to me to conclude some matter at the certain time? Where is the idea of being crystal-clear about the plan?

In the context of all these unanswered questions, I decided to start blogging!

In the contrary, the latest changes that I was destined for has of course opened new doors to a new era. As I’ve learnt to appreciate the things, right from the beginning, every little contribution to achieve my goal has equally been appreciated well.

I’m Happy, Happy with what I have Happy with what I’ve been given to and Happy with what I have offered to the world so far. My confidence is my strength and I believe that you can achieve everything if you want it.

Anyway, I will post my daily news, things I envisions and the changes I would love to see in every aspects of the society.

Thank for visiting and happy blogging!
