It seems like soon we will have nothing to be proud of being a Nepali. We are losing our Identity, the identity of Nepal and being a Nepali, the Culture of our Nepal and the traditions.

Lumbini, birth place of lord Buddha

Let’s talk about Lumbini, it is a birthplace of Lord Buddha and it lies in Nepal now. UNESCO has already listed it in its World Heritage Site, but we still hear from the Indian side that Buddha was born in India, and they have named the place with the same name just other side of the boarder. What does this means? They are not afraid to say that Buddha was born in India, I heard from my friend who studied in south India that there they are taught that Buddha was born in India and Nepal is a part of India, I have no idea how much truth is there in it, but that is what we have been hearing. They used to have fight with their Indian friends on this issue. As a proof we can take the issue of Indian movie star Mrs. Madhuri Dixit. When she arrived in Nepal few years back, she said that she thought Nepal is a part of India or similar kind of statement which drew a big attention in Nepal.

Bajrayogini

Bajrayogini

This year I was lucky enough to see the Bajrayogini’s Jatra (festival) at Sankhu, Kathmandu. This is one of the major Jatra that we can see inside Kathmandu valley. I did not see much crowd as we see in jatra of Kathmandu, Bhaktapur or Lalitpur. May be since Sankhu is a small village/city east north of Kathmandu and the population is very less. Many people are not aware of this jatra, there were very less visitors to observe this jatra.

First of all happy new year 2065 to every one who reads what I have to say. From tomorrow new year will start, let’s hope from the year 2065 we don’t have to face hard time, hope Nepal will have a peaceful year, not violent like 2064. Since the CA election also concluded, we hope to see new faces in Nepal’s politics who will surely help to improve Nepali people’s life, let’s pray we do not have to wait in a hours line for the gasoline. Hope we will have enough water at home and do not need to wake up at 3 am to run the water pump to fill our water tanks, let’s hope there will be no more power cuts.
we still have to see who will have the majority at CA polls, who ever bags the majority, they should work for the nation, as NEPAL, not just for their community or supporters.

Once again HAPPY NEW YEAR 2065, Jai Desh Jai Nepal Long Live the Identity of Nepal and identity of being a Brave Nepali.

I was going through BBC news and found this topic “Nepal action on Tibet ‘excessive‘ ” and it is true if you see some youtube.com videos where you can see protesters with blood, Nepal police using excessive force against the protester. In this same news there is a line

“How can a government that came to power on a wave of public protests against an authoritarian regime, justify crushing peaceful protests by Tibetans?”

Any of us can justify this line? Do you think that Nepal’s government policy is right? All the communist party of Nepal and the government are supporting One China Policy, but what about the Tibetans rights? It was taken over forcefully by Chinese; it is not the case of like Sikkim, because of some bad politicians in Sikkim, it became a part of India.
