Yes, i got the first issue of International Herald Tribune, which began publishing from Kathmandu in association with Republica, local English daily. It’s priced 25 Rs. (Oh gwad). Just skimmed through and was done within few minutes. Need to read thoroughly, prolly on Saturday 
I wonder whether IHT could make it’s market in the country or not. Probably it’s published only few hundreds (all right lets just say thousands, happy?) copies targeting diplomatic missions and elites. One more reason to brag probably

What’s wrong with you People?
I was at so-called festival where you could eat momo as much as you like that too of so many varieties. We had reserved few chairs for our friends and waiting for them to return back with momos. Few people came and asked if the chair was free which weren’t. But there was a smart-ass who didn’t bother to ask. He just pulled the chair and took away – to my utter surprise. He seemed to be educated but too bad he lacked the basic culture of civilization: that is to ask. I hadn’t recovered from my shock, another shock hit me. Famous band Kutumba which plays traditional music was playing on stage. And the crowd just gathered around the stage, standing in front us obstructing our view. Hello, you are allowed to see but not obstruct others. We had to shout but still they either acted or really didn’t hear us and I had to literally poke them to tell them. Later many people again gathered and obstructed. We didn’t have any power left to tell everyone even we were there to see what’s happening at stage.
And one word became legendary at program: Exactly. The male M.C. was so much in love with the word, every time as a counter to female M.C. he began his sentence with exactly. It was like
Girl: this program is sponsored by this, that, this
Boy: Exactly, and we are doing …..
Girl: Hold on people, we have performance by this band…
Boy: Exactly….. Exactly….. exactly….. exactly….
Didn’t count how many times he used that word but it must have easily crossed 100.
The momos were yum. There were 22 varieties of momo and 9 varieties of pickles ranging from momo made from vegetables, chicken, pork, mutton, buff, sweets, fruits and so on. But I felt ticket price were a bit high and thanks to my friend I was misinformed about the event. I was told there are unlimited free soft drinks and free ice-creams (then only I agreed to pay the ticket) but reality was there was only a 250 ml. coke available for free and no ice-creams (you have to pay extra of course) but it included 30 ml of White Mischief vodka. I demand ice-cream now!!!!
Probably I missed to tell in beginning: I was having bad headache, had planned to go home and sleep but I ended up being there. The headache is back and I am trying to sleep!

Haina, is my blog getting poplar ra bhanya?
Every time I open my dashboard, there are spam comments: not just one. Yesterday night I deleted 9 comments and now 2 more. And in past week i must have deleted 20 more. I am tired of this stupid comments that says “Oh I like your blog…nice write ups and gave me new insight” and have link to some sites that claim of penis enlargement or free lottery or god-knows-what.
And seeing such small Baadhi of spams, I check my stats and it’s always same. No, I am not wishing my blog to be popular (probably just a little) and I know very few of you ever read my scribbles (I bet my nephew can write better than I). If no one is reading my blog why those spammer spent their previous time to send me spams?? Or is it automatic? It must be (my tube-light mind which is technologically illiterate thinks so).
Ohh did I tell you I couldn’t make myself finish Black Swan. The movie unfolds with such a power, I know tragedy is coming and I just couldn’t prepare myself to see the horror (well I haven’t completed the movie but I think it will be). Same fear overpowered me while reading Arundhati Roy‘s God of Little Things. I finally managed to finish it and I am glad I did. The book is one of the best book I have read. And I bet Black Swan is also an awesome movie. I have other movies to watch as well and I hope to finish it tonight, review might follow later 
the rainbow wardrobe

I am never shy to experiment with colors. Gimme any color, i wear them if i feel like. I was going through my wardrobe and discovered that my clothes indeed have made it like rainbow has come into my room.
I was in love with blue, then my love shifted to black, then white, then again blue and then purple and then orange and then green… so if i hang most of recent T-shirts/Ts it will be like rainbow….
Anyone out there who compete me? lol
the new beginning

Announcement, Announcement pupil! My life is about take a new turn. Yes, new job is round the corner. Possibly, from next month, I will be working at new office.
This place where I am working now has lots of memories for me. This is the place where I learned to be professional, learn new skills, techniques, and many more. Met very good friends who will always be in my heart. Looking back, I never thought I will be at this stage: working in the area of development.
I had barely completed by high school and passing my time, like any other kid, roaming and having fun. At the same time, I wanted to be independent on my own, wanted to do something. So when I saw the vacancy, I applied for the post and voila, I got it which was beyond my expectations. Well I had fared well but had talked a lot, I mean a lot. Anyway, I got the job.
When I was a child, hearing my dad’s fascinating stories about histories and myths, I wanted to be historian or archeologist who tells the stories of the past. When I had free time, I used to count stars and watch them in amazement wondering probably I should be an astronomer. Then as I grew up, I thought probably being journalist is the coolest job in the whole world: you can travel and tell the stories. So I took up the subject hoping to be a hardcore journalist who travels around the globe and shares the untold stories. However, fate has something else for me. Even now also I travel, hear the stories and share the stories but not as a journalist who seeks answer to what and how and barely why but as a social communicator who seek answer to why to those questions which hardly interest our mainstream journalists.
These years, I juggled around various positions, worked in many issues and now time has come to say goodbye. But it won’t be easy though I had thought otherwise. The hanging frame that consists pictures of my friends, the poster of John Mayer, the happy calendar and other personal stuffs would have to find new place and I wonder whether there will be place for them in my new desk at new place.
Now my position will change. I will no longer be part of this glamorous media fraternity but still my quest for answer to why will always remain same; my search for stories will always remain same. Probably my voice will be hardly heard in radio waves, but my stories will always find a way to reach out to those who want to know.
Wat ya Said!
