We were expecting some improvements in the security of the Nation after the formation of new cabinet. We got Mr. Bam Dev Gautam as our new Home Minister and as soon as he was sworn into that post he announced that he will improve the security and will take action on illegal activities of YCL and Youth Force.

But the current scenario is different, the government is not able to stop these wings of Maoist and UML and their activities are increasing by the day. In recent days, due to these forces, curfew had to be imposed in Dhankuta.

As for Kathmandu, our minister targeted the night life. He asked all the entertainment things that are run in Kathmandu valley. They should be closed by 11 pm in Kathmandu, 10 pm in Patan and Bhaktapur 9 pm. Don’t you think it is a straight interference on Human rights? We have rights to party, go to disco and pubs at night. Is this a type of democracy we were looking for?

It’s boring, really boring to watch Hindi movies now a day. Last night I watched a movie called ugly aur pugly. I felt that it has a very poor presentation in every aspect in that movie. May be since I have already watched the Original story movie “My Sassy Girl” which is a Korean movie. I don’t know if that movie too is a remake of some Hollywood movie.

When I watched this movie I really felt bad. Is Bollywood really become so poor in recent years? Aren’t there any good writers to write a story for a movie so that they do not need to make a remake of some Hollywood and Korean movies? Now I doubt if all the Hindi movies we watch are remake from some other language movies which we are unaware of.

What is polymer note?
“Polymer banknotes were developed by the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) and the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) and were first issued as currency in Australia in 1988. These banknotes are made from the polymer biaxially-oriented polypropylene (BOPP) which greatly enhances durability of the banknotes. Polymer banknotes also incorporate many security features not available to paper banknotes, making counterfeiting much more difficult.” – From wikipedia.org

I don’t want to ask this question. Can you guys imagine that RNAC flight was cancel due to no Passenger? I think everyone has thought it can happen in near future, but I guess no one thought while it is celebrating its 50th year of service and the very next day it celebrated its birthday, it will have to a face such a situation.

So many international Airlines are operating in Nepal, many more to come in near future but our own airline is facing loss. Poor service, not enough plane and delayed flights are the major problem of our airline company. Since last year there have been improvement in arrival of tourist but still NAC or RNAC has to cancel it’s flight due to no passenger.
