After ruling 49 years in Cuba, Fidel Castro finally resign from President of Cuba. He came to power with the armed revolution. Cuba is one of the few countries with absolute communism. The world praises him for his stand against the world’s powerful country and his neighboring country United States. He has been the number one American Enemy and America could not do anything to him as they did to Saddam Hussain in Iraq.
Why I am writing about Fidel Castro and Cuba?
Swayambhunath temple is one of the popular tourist destinations for external and internal tourist and both hindu and buddhist devotee. It is also known to external tourist as monkey temple. We can see lots of monkey there. These monkeys are very mischief, they try to grab the bags of visitors some time they even attack the visitors, but some time you get some good entertainment from them.
Yesterday morning I was there to worship ajima maa temple next to swayambhunath temple. I was lucky to capture the interesting act of one monkey. This monkey was trying to drink the water from the WORLD PEACE POND situated there at the footsteps of the temple. I quickly caught this action on my camera. I hope you guys will love these pictures.
I kept the right ones out
And let the wrong ones in
Had an angel of mercy
To see me through all my sins
There were times in my life
When I was goin’ insane
Tryin’ to walk through the pain
And when I lost my grip
And I hit the floor
Yeah, I thought I could leave
But couldn’t get out the door
I was so sick n’ tired
Of livin’ a lie
I was wishing that I would die
There is news today in the entire news channel in India. It is really bad to hear that world’s biggest democratic country is facing such incident. The incident against humanity.
Raj Thakrey the leader of Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS), due to his irresponsible comment, there was a huge riot erupt in Bombay (Mumbai). He said that Big B, Amitabh Bacchan did not do anything to Maharashtra, being a north India, he did social works for that area only. Currently, I have no detailed comments on what Raj Thakrey said.

I met Sir Edmund Hillary at his house in Auckland, New Zealand on 20th September 1996. The words he told me at that time are still humming my ear at this moment of his demise. He told me “ Gyanendra, don’t try to stay here in New Zealand. Nepal needs you and your service. I am the president of New Zealand-Nepal Friendship Association, we already have 62 Nepali families migrated here, I don’t want you to become the 63rd of them”.
Lumbini, popularly known as the birth place of Lord Buddha, The Light of Asia, founder of Buddhism. This was my second visit to Lumbini, many years ago I was there, and I have some vivid images of that World Heritage site. This trip to lumbini was a short and a quick one.
I heard so many things about this place after it was placed in World heritage site by UNESCO. They said that there is a rapid change and the place looks really beautiful.
I was very much excited to go there once I heard about Lumbini.
Once I reach Lumbini I could not stop my emotions, I got impressed by Lumbini. In coming years it will be one of the main tourist attraction of Nepal. I found a huge difference there, when I compared the current lumbini with vivid image I had in my memory when I visited that place 20 years ago. There were some research going on, digging were going on I guess as we saw only the old remains of some building there, the park was not like as it is now, I think there was only one temple, Now they have plan to make each temple from different country and already half a dozen countries have already made temples under their country name. The temples are really attractive. The German and the Thai temples are really WOW. I think Korean temple will look better after it is completed.
New Year’s eve, it is the day when most of our friends meet all together and enjoy. Yesterday night also most of us joined at my house. Since the guys are getting busy, it’s hard to organize such get together, but finally we did it this year too.
My dad always joins us and he plays his mouth harmonica and keyboard. He made all of us dance, but before that he played the tempo music of Jingle Bells from keyboard many times, and everyone was singing that song, so finally we decided to give the theme of the last year New Years Eve party as Jingle Bells, this name was suggested by my friend/brother Sakil.
If Rajesh, Liska were not there, then the party would not have been so successful. Thanks for them for cooking all the food (do I need to thank other guys by naming them and what did they do). We really missed some of our friends this year as some of them are abroad and few could not make it because of some problem.
I support Local Empowerment. So, I’m sharing this Everest Base Camp Trek to promote a new way of trekking where trekkers can empower the local service providers like lodges, guides and porters by booking services directly through them. #empoweringthehimalayas #freetriptoeverest
