New National Anthem for New Nepal
By Binaya Neupane
In the aftermath of the restoration of Democracy, now widely told as Loktantra, Nepal promised to change its previous national anthem which was just a salutation song for the King. Its lyrics was composed by Chakrapani Chalise (Shreeman Gambhira Nepali Prachanda Pratapi Bhupati) and music by Bakhatbir Budhapirthi adopted in 1899. However, the parliamentary proclamation declared to change the National anthem and new national anthem has been recommended by a Committee formed to choose it.
Latin Transliteration of Previous
Shri man gumbhira nepali prachanda pratapi bhupati
Shri pach sarkar maharajadhiraja ko sada rahos unnati
Rakhun chi rayu eeshale praja phailiyos pukaraun jaya premale
Hami nepali bhaeesarale.
The new national anthem is selected from a total of 1272 different proposed songs from all over the country. As per The National Anthem Selection Task Team (NASTT) the Byakul Maila’s song has led the list. The coordinator and culture expert Satyamohan Joshi said; “we have accomplished the job assigned to us by the bureau” and added there is no partiality in the process; the new National Anthem was selected without knowing the name of its writer.
राष्ट्रिय गान
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 ।
Latin Transliteration New
Sayau thunga phoolkaa haamee yautai mala nepali
Sarwabhauma bhai phailayakaa mechi mahakalee
Prakritekaa kotee kotee sampadako aachala
Beerharukaa ragatale swatantra ra aatala
Gyanbhumee shantebhumee tarai pahaada hemaala
Akhanda yoo pyaro hamro matrebhumee nepal
Bahul jaate bhashha dharma sanskritee chhan besaala
Agragame rastra hamro jaya jaya nepal

The stench of reality
By heretic (Aashish Dutta Koirala)
This reality reeks of filth. Not that I'm aware of any other reality that does not. But rationale forces me to realize that there cannot be a singular reality. Just the fact that I am able to conceive of the idea rightly justifies it. And it is rationale that dictates to me that even though my existence is confined to this reality; I, as I truly am, span all realities. This does not apply to my physical state, my mind or consciousness nor my spirit - but something else that I am unable to conceive of due to the very fact that my existence is confined to this reality.

Forgotten and forgiven evils: Top ten Corrupt Politicians
By Indra Dhoj Kshetri
“Both sides agree to adopt policy to severely punish people amassing properties by means of corruption while remaining in government posts.”
The above mentioned lines are from Clause 3.11 of the Comprehensive Peace Accord signed by the Nepal government and the Maoists on November 21. On those lines, both the sides have expressed their commitments to severely punish those corrupts. However, the latest developments from politics to judiciary are proving that those words also may just be the high rhetoric. Both the sides have failed to convince people that they are really serious on punishing those evils. Some people have taken this as a commitment to punish those remaining in government posts during the Royal regime, while others have taken this just as a tool to eyewash the general public.

Standardizing culture
By heretic (Aashish Dutta Koirala)
In my field of study and work, standards play a big role. A lot of what could otherwise be chaos has been delicately held together by standards and protocols. As miraculous as it sounds, a big bunch of people actually agreed to follow a common path!!
Now, if you put two people in a room, conflict is bound to arise. It is inevitable and, as a matter of fact, a microcosm of all the conflict across the globe today. Even though wisemen of our time will say that ultimately it's all about the money or the power; one cannot discount the fact that culture has a lot to do with it. I dare to go as far as to say that the very thing that makes the human race so diverse is the cause for all of its conflict.

On the banks of Khando
By Sanjib Chaudhary
It was the seventh day of Dashami (the greatest Hindu festival), the day preceding the sacrifice of animals to Durga, the Goddess of power. The incessant rains had stopped and the sky was partly clear with patches of black clouds hovering around, signalling for the rains still to come. Among the clouds peeked the moon gaining its full form day by day for the coming full moon day. The entire village slept in serenity. The bamboo leaves swayed to the light breeze and bats could be seen moving stealthily in search of prey. An owl was hooting in the far horizon. The banks of river Khando was dry and the sands seemed silvery with the partial moonlight. The recent floods had brought more alluvial soil and the banks had widened, the sands had got a washing. A crab could be seen crawling towards the receding water.

On governance
By heretic (Aashish Dutta Koirala)
No form of governance thought up by man is really any good. The much hyped democracy is an unachievable ideal at best. In which of today's so-called democracies do the people actually hold the strings? A democratic system is like a fragile piece of machinery held together by millions of loose nuts and bolts, and is doomed to shatter. Sure, democracy would work perfectly in a world where all men thought well of each other. But in such a world, who's to say any other system wouldn't work equally well?
Then you have dictatorships and monarchies which we can rule out just by pure reason and rational logic. Communism and fascism are oppressionist systems and have no place in a sane world. Since religion itself is evil by nature, any form of governance associated with religion is naturally evil. On the economic front, capitalism does lead to progress but tramples too many on the way. Socialism is another unachievable ideal and history is witness to how every state that has tried it out has failed to stick to its ideals, either being unable to sustain itself or turning into hardcore communism. Then there is the notion of "socialist democracy" – two unachievable ideals in one – need I say more?

Second issue of Y! . It’s better.
By Dovan Rai

Quite impressed with the first issue of ‘Y!’, a new Nepali youth magazine, I was eagerly awaiting for the second issue, which I found better.
Y! seemed to come with a serious purpose. It was reflected in the first issue in it’s bold cover design(which caught my eyes first), carefully planned content and intellectually stimulating articles.
The average ‘I hate politics’ youth too have now realized how vital politics is and how it impacts our studies, career, life and destiny.
Y! has cashed in the new burning interest of youth in politics and provided the youth with a platform for politics and activism.
Y! has actually fulfilled most of the requirements of a good youth magazine that I was looking for.
Bilingual medium is very practical and promoting Nepali literature is an appreciable approach.
By raising cultural and social awareness issues, it has carried the true essence of being youthful and modern.

Nepal
By Akriti Panthi
Nepal
My ancestors and my blood from the one place I treasure
Thinking, talking, and visiting that dear place is always a pleasure
From Mount Everest to Japha I go
Every piece of land I bow to
One of the smallest countries with one of the biggest disaster
Maoists running back and fro to master to master
The country folk all ran into one city
What a pity, a great fight wasn’t given
For houses, traditions became forgotten
Katmandu that city was trashed
Old buildings where smashed
New houses were built
Katmandu became the New York City but no one felt guilt
The government didn’t give a bit
All they did was sit, watched people die
Their children and all they did was sighed “bye”
My country, my home, and my people
Many prayed on the steeples
Thank the gods for now peace has rang
Nepal is another great place to hang
My ancestors and my blood from the one place I treasure
Thinking, talking, and visiting that dear place is always a pleasure
From Mount Everest to Japha I go
Every piece of land I bow to

Politics, Health and our Professional Responsibility
By Mathura Shrestha
1. Public concern, their scrutiny, transparency and accountability of health and medical professionals
Today, we together with other peoples of Nepal have fought and realized Loktantra. We envision Loktantra as the highest form of republican democracy of the people and by the people. As the word implicates Loktantra can have none above or bellow Lok or peoples and peoples’ world. A monarchy in any form or any other creed-based superstructure is out of question in Loktantra. We, the people of Nepal, are not praja of prajatantra but fully sovereign, responsible citizen of Nepal. The established norm of Lok accepts no exclusion or deprivation of citizens by gender, geographical region, ethnicity, religion, political or social orientation, physical or socioeconomic state or condition.

Life
By Akriti Panthi
You came into this world
Yet it wasn’t your choice to be unfurled
With tons of love you grew
And did you stop by to say thank you?
Your dear loved ones
Always in a run
But they always managed to spend time with you
All that time your life speed through
In school you went
You kept learning as you grew
Studying and studying was your job
It was meant so you didn’t become a slob
College came in no time
You learned the importance of a dime

A conversation with a preacher
By heretic (Aashish Dutta Koirala)
People who know me well know that I am a believer and follower of God, and an equally strong HATER of religion. I think religion is an evil, hypocritical practice that misinterprets God in every sense of the word.
Oddly enough, I ran into this Christian preacher in a chatroom!!
So I humored him for a while --- the following is the exact chat transcript. My handle is "Heretic". The preacher is "NEPAL123_366". Read on, people!!
nepal123_366: hi
heretic: hello
nepal123_366: where are you from
heretic: ktm
nepal123_366: ok i am from dehradun
heretic: have you ever noticed that most people are really really ugly
nepal123_366: are you a man or a woman and are you a nepali
heretic: i am a nepali, i am a man
nepal123_366: ok i am a pastor of a church as well as social worker]
heretic: and you're here to "spread the word" are you?

Gunter used Nepali athletes
By Random Gigs
A close (national coach) source reveals that German Coach Gunter had been prescribing MEDICINES to Nepali athletes while training them and that the medicine intakes were supposed to be lessened as the SAF Games began.
But in an alternate take, what medicine was the German Coach prescribing? Is that even moral? Does Nepal Sports Council even know about this?
Also, it is now intelligent to ask if Gunter was testing a drug here in the Himalayan Nation. Germany thus seems to have used Nepali athletes, as previsouly did USA to our armed forced personnel.
Our athletes who have taken these drugs should be monitored for their health, side effects of the drugs. Gunter and Germany should publicly apologize for this and should pay in KIND as compensation.
Whatever that KIND is whether it be in support of medical aid etc, if there are any cases filed of side effects arised from using GUNTER DRUGS and for destorying Bhandari's career.

Sunday, November 19, 2006. It was the day on which the Everest uncensored team was setting out for its 52nd adventures around the valley at high altitude.

This time, we have chosen to post what the team mates felt about this hiking, the 52nd.

A day with the Maoist army
By Indra Dhoj Kshetri
November, the 21st, the government and the Maoists were set to sign the much awaited peace accord. The accord was much awaited because; only this would formally end the Maoist violence in the country. All the people were keenly watching the developments in the capital. My colleagues were also requesting me not to miss the special signing function. Surely, it would have been an opportunity in the life of a journalist to attend the ceremony, because very few in very few countries get the privilege to attend such ceremony where the government and the rebels will declare that they have formally denounced war and will opt for a peaceful politics.

What really happened at BICC (& in my mind) on the Evening of November 21, 2006
By Gopal Bahadur Ghale
(Here goes my first attempt at Political Commentary, albeit Personal and somewhat Fabricated)
Girija Prasad and Pushpa Kamal, flanked by other peacemakers, solemnly sat on the dais as Krishna Prasad thirstily read out the contents of the Comprehensive Peace Accord (CPA).
At times, during the narration, Girija Prasad and Pushpa Kamal whispered to each other and let out restrained smiles. I wondered at the remarks they were possibly making and, at one instance, it appeared to me as if Pushpa Kamal was suggesting Girija Prasad that Krishna Prasad should have brought a cassette player and played a taped version of the CPA instead of going through the pains of croaking.

Management Guru
By Nilesh Shrestha
We are driven by God gifted instincts. We always react instantly to safety and then set habit to stay in comfort by keeping away from danger. One can rarely see a person not running away from a burning fire; one can rarely see a person not trying to cover up to warm up from cold and one can hardly see a person not eating when hungry. When we are hungry, we are forced to eat to survive and knowing that we need to eat, we eat regularly even if we do not feel hungry. If one does not do that then he is sick.

Positive Attitude!
By Shree Bista
Have you ever consciously started your morning with the positive attitude? If you never have, you may want to give it a try tomorrow with the "Smiley good morning" to your co-worker. And, consciously monitor how you perform whole day. Believe me, it does the magic. As we know, we spent more than nine hours everyday at work and if it becomes unpleasant it would be mighty unproductive for you and for your employer.

Management Lesson: The Law of Diminishing Returns
By Milan Lamichhane
Time is time. No one can buy more time. You can buy more labor if you think it will help your team do more work faster, but that’s not the same thing as adding time to a project. The law of diminishing returns dictates that adding labor doesn’t exponentially increase productivity; in fact, at some point productivity can even go backwards.
For a real-life example, consider that two hardworking and experienced programmers working on a project. In order to finish the project on time, you decide to add one more programmer. Now the programmers may be completing the code more quickly, you decide to add six more programmers so that the project can be finished even sooner. You soon realize that although adding one programmer increased your productivity, adding six more only created chaos with creating a contentious environment. You reached the point of diminishing returns when you added six programmers.
Bottom line: You can’t build a house in a single day even with 100 people.

तिम्रो सानो प्रयासको छोटो जमर्कोमा

तिमीलाई तल झर्नु पर्दैन
मायाको आभास सृजन गरीदिंदा
तिमी रित्तो हुनु पर्दैन
प्रेमको जुक्ती र शक्ती सम्प्रेशण गर्दा
तिमी निरीह बन्नु पर्दैन
वैयक्तीक विचारको अतीक्रमण बन्दगर्दा
तिमी रुस्ठ रहनु पर्दैन
तिम्रो सानो प्रयासको छोटो जमर्कोमा
कोही माथी उक्लदा
तिमीलाई तल झर्नु पर्दैन
संकीर्ण बिचार र निरुत्साहीत हठ
छाडीदिंदा तिमी कुरुप बन्नु पर्दैन
मुक्त कंठमा कसैको प्रसंशा समेट्दा
तिमी तितो बन्नु पर्दैन
स्वच्छ नयंले तस्बीरहरु
कैद गर्दा तिमी रित्तो रहनु पर्दैन
तिम्रो सानो प्रयासको छोटो जमर्कोमा
कोही माथी उक्लदा
तिमीलाई तल झर्नु पर्दैन

Radical - To be or not to be

The situation in Nepal looks quite gloomy, partly because we have been asking the wrong questions for several years and perhaps also because, we have this hallucination that the Maoist problem needs to be solved first. This itself is the mother of all dreadlocks.

Maoists continue forceful recruitment
By EverestUncensored Correspondent
The continued recruitment drive in Nepal raises doubts over Maoist commitments to return to peaceful mainstream and respect to human rights.
Despite their readiness to sign the peace accord and commitments to come into the mainstream politics, the Maoists have been continuing forcible recruitment for their "Peoples' Liberation Army" (PLA) for the last few days. The reports from various districts across the country said, the Maoists have been intimidating the village youths, many of them school children to join their PLA.

Globalization: Is it a Threat or an Opportunity for Nepal?
By Siris Bajracharya
Business in the 21st century has been able to expand its boundaries overwhelmingly, regardless of the geographical constraints. The dream of an “international business community” has now slowly turned into reality. Today the world of business has been talking about expanding its boundaries globally. Now the competition is not only within the internal markets but among the external markets as well. Such a global perspective has introduced new opportunities as well as threats to the existing market. The internal markets of most underdeveloped and developing countries have been threatened to be wiped off against the breeze of global competition.

Thinking Strategically -- Key to Market Management
By Siris Bajracharya
One very fine morning, my boss comes to me and says, “Here is what we want to do and here is how we are going to do it.....!” Sounds simple? This simple definition of strategy may sound effortless but it is not honestly simple because a lot of thought and work would go into the development of such business strategies.
A firm that attempts to sell a product or a service must have a plan and strategize its every move in order to sustain in the long run. The definition of strategy is: the guiding plan that integrates a firm’s major goals that has superior efficiency, quality, innovation, and customer responsiveness. A good business strategy will incorporate such concepts with a clear understanding of adopting the marketing concept, market opportunity analysis, and developing a sustainable competitive advantage. Strategies should be made keeping in mind of the fact that - all marketing begins with deprivation. A business is successful if we are able to understand the concept of fulfilling the deprived space.

Decisions
By Rudra Pandey
The worst decision makers are killers. With one decision, they jeopardize other’s lives, and sometimes their own too. Best decision makers are those who save lives by helping people in crisis.
Everyone makes a few bad decisions once in a while. Some of us repeat them very often and some of us learn from it and avoid making such kind of decisions in the future. What happens after a bad decision? How can we avoid bad decision? Should we be too careful? Should we avoid making decision because of possible negative consequences? These questions always make me ponder. I have made a few bad decisions both in personal and professional lives. I still regret everyday about some of the decisions that I have made years back. I feel like “Oh god - how dumb I was?” I wish I could recall those decisions. Obviously, it is too late to recall as damage has already been done. I feel like hitting my forehead against the wall and screaming out loud – “why did I do so?”

The Art of Lovemaking (and Management)
By Gopal Bahadur Ghale
Well, we were asked to write an article each on Management and I decided to consult some Greek Gods for some insights into some Management Mantras. Hence I traveled all the way to Athens and managed to meet Hephaestus and Aphrodite; others were on vacation. Following the principle of ‘Pilgrimage to Pashupatinath, Trade of Tuna’, I requested Aphrodite to throw some light on the secrets of lovemaking while Hephaestus revealed the secrets of successful management.
I offer to you here the excerpts of the great tips I was provided with:

Management in home – Workplace is to apply it
By Thakur Gyawali
I am tired of reading many books and listening to different discussions on management. "What is management? What managers do?" like questions, are not significant to me. This is similar to Nepalese politicians trying to define "What is democracy and what is Lok Tantra?. There are many problems and issues that are making everything stagnant. Even the things are worsening every minute that you are very aware about and you are trying to define what our democratic system’s name is. Opps...I can just say that I would have fired those people if I were authorized to. At least we engineers talk more on Why and How questions. To be honest, what I learnt from life without caring about management is much more than what I studied about it. So, it is better to focus on how things can be made better. I believe management quality is an inherent capability to some extent but it is more driven from interest and learning from every incidents that you experience or see in life. I just recalled a real story of a 20 yrs old girl. Here it goes...

The crown and the Rayamajhi Commission
By Indra Dhoj Kshetri
If the rayamajhi Commission fails to recommend appropriate action against all the perpetrators inclusing King Gyanendra; history will not forgive them
The same happened what people didn’t want but expected. Ever in the history of Nepal, the Rayamajhi Commission formed to investigate the atrocities of the erstwhile Royal government was supposed to address people’s aspirations and recommend proper punishment against the perpetrators. Upon its formation, the commission members also made roars that anybody found guilty on suppressing the popular movement is brought to the book. The Commission Chairman Krishna Jung Rayamajhi himself said they will not spare even the King if found involved on suppressing popular movement and embezzling nation’s fund. King’s involvement was crystal clear as he was the chairman of the then Council of Ministers. And even a layman could not believe that any move of the then government was taken without his consent.

What is Management?
By Kumar Pradhanang
There isn’t any clear definition of management. This is something that evolved right from the time human beings existed. Only the way of managing things have changed. The human development was slow right from the medieval period to the 18th century. It really started picking up in the 20th century due to change in the management style.
From my past experience there are three tips I could give to be a part of a good management team.
1. Anyhow solve the puzzle, which could also mean getting from A to D without having to step into B and C.
2. If something needs to be done, just do it. Let others follow you rather than waiting for others to start
3. Think simple.

A Chronicle of Growth
By Sajan Sangraula
Empires are not built ‘as is’. They evolve from startups. But only a meager fraction of the startups make it up to the empirical formations.
As startups, it’s usually a bunch of people with an idea to stick to working for their own sake. People involved are mostly stakeholders and have a participatory role; their growth is directly proportional to that of the company. With the number of people in some lower 2 digits, there isn’t a high hierarchy of roles that separate personals involved. People are accessible. The faces are familiar, the workplace is habitual and there is positivity and optimism in the air.

A day the "Managers" way
By Ritesh Khanal
Looking at the gold plated sign that read “SHARKS” in big fancy letters and sipping my coffee, I remembered how hard it was to get here and yet easier to make the decision. “You wanna know why I chose Sharks instead of Elite-W” I had tried to explain to the whole team, especially to Dev, who had left the hall after I announced that we were going to Sharks for our project. “I know why, it’s because you lead the team and you wanna prove to all of us that it’s only your decision that counts”

Things to remember... A management lesson
By Subodh Gurung
Management! What to write on management? C’mon, I’m an engineer. How can I write an article on management? These were the questions that struck me when trying to write something on the term “Management". I tried looking over internet, even tried to study management books, but all was in vain. 5 days past and still not a single word has been typed. Then last night, I decided to write on my own way; my own way of explaining the meaning of management. Some might not like my views but they certainly won’t disagree either.

Greed is Good. Gekko is God. A lesson in management.
By heretic (Aashish Dutta Koirala)
I've recently been told to write something – anything – on management. It is a topic quite removed from my usual line of literature. I am used to writing about things that are darker, vaguer and more abstract. Management, as something to write about, is too mainstream for me. It's lucky for me then that I read a lot of books and watch even more movies; and it's really, really lucky for me that I happened to have watched a classic by the name of Wall Street.

The wonders of Matatirtha - Khadpu – Pharping hiking
By EverestUncensored Correspondent
It has been wonderful experience for the Everest Uncensored (EU) team to explore the thrills around the Kathmandu valley at the high altitude. In its adventures, the EU team has experienced the rural set up and its contradiction with the so called modern and urban life in the Kathmandu valley. Our team mates have experienced that it was a sort of achievement in the life. The team has visited not only three districts of Kathmandu valley. But the team has also walked up to Kabhre, Sindhupalchok, Makwanpur and Nuwakot districts.

“ALL MEN ARE CREATED EQUAL”?
By Sagun Basnet
The words echoing, "All men are created equal" are more than a buzzing word today with the mushrooming and schooling of various enlightening principles of gender equality.
But somewhere, I feel - NO, all men are not created equal. If I restrict my claim to the only feeling, which defines human beings, your emotions… the feelings that make people understand what is that essence in you which is preceded by your existence.

National Flag: Should it be changed?
By Binaya Neupane

National flags represent their respective nations in the international arena. So why they are meant to be unique symbol and a value for a country. National flags usually have to have some patriotic meaning representing the country and her people for the betterment and patriotism.
Why don’t we begin with a discussion over our national flag i.e. National flag of Nepal? The national flag of Nepal is the one and only one non-rectangular national and official flags in the world. If we track back the history for the origin of non-rectangular, triangular flag then it says: The Nepal’s flag is a simplified combination of two single streamers from different branches of the previous rulers, the Rana dynasty who controlled Nepal from the mid-19th century until 1951. The Rana rulers were entitled "Shri Teen" and "Maharajahs".

Beating about Another Bush?
By Mathura Shrestha
About a hundred years ago a Mark Lewis' grandfather was awarded with Victoria Cross for his bravery in the aggression on the Dagu Fort of China.
He stole the historical Dagu Bell and took it to England as war booty. On learning the actual history of the Bell, Mark Lewis apologized to the people of China on behalf of his dead grandfather and facilitated the return of the Bell-'a source of shame for both China and England'-to the actual owner, the Dagu Fort. He wrote, 'Let us just hope we do not have to see another wars'.

Who should be Punished for the "Newly Started Marvelous Project" in Town?
By Binaya Neupane
Today dated 14th of November 2006 early in the morning around 6:30 A.M the group of local bus crew especially in the Chabahil and Gausala areas in Kathmandu did the strike; the reason was not cleared to me but after I talked with some of them on the way to College I come to know that some body had smashed the local bus some other day at the Airport area and they are here after almost 2 days on strike. Not even single vehicles were allowed in those areas. So I have to track back the same path.
When I reached the Maharaj Gung; Chakrapath; near by the Narayan Gopal Choak. I see marvelously managed new project in town and cannot resist without capturing it by my Nokia 3230; i missed Camera there ;)
The New project in town; the picture speaks more than thousand words;
(Picture by: Binaya Neupane)

by the Municipality Mini TATA at bank of the Ring Road.

A. The Citizen of Kathmandu.
B. The Municipality
C. The Nepal Government itself
D. The Local Bus Strike

Divided OVER Deal: UML and Maoist fight each other for Existence
By Indra Dhoj Kshetri
No sooner the Maoist formally entered the peaceful mainstream; split has been seen with the UML. And division between these two parties may affect the future of the pact.

As the country seems overwhelmingly welcoming the historic deal between the Seven Party Alliance (SPA) government and the CPN Maoist, a split has been noticed among those signatories. Especially, the major Communist factions the Maoists and the UML are seen divided. And biases towards one another seem to surface. Especially, the UML seems to be dissatisfied with the post deal scenario. General Secretary Madhav Kumar Nepal has been attacked by his comrades and also from the ground level cadres for giving ‘more space’ to the Maoists. They have questioned if the Maoists had enough popularity or status to get equal seats with the UML in the interim legislature. Not only UML, but the Nepali Congress or other party people are also perplexed with this decision, especially Maoists’ position in the interim legislature. Their stance is that the Maoists haven’t so far been tested before the public and how could they get second position in the interim legislature followed by interim government.

गजल
By Mabi Singh
यो पूरानो एउटा
मनै ध्बस्त भए पछि आँखामा के दोष थुपार्नु अनेक ?
छायाका चीराहरु टाल्दैमा, ज्यानलाई के हुन्थ्यो बिसेक ?
म सित बिद्रोह गर्दै भाबनाले रंगै चिन्न छाडी दियो,
हिजो खुशीमा सिर्जेको चित्र आज उजाड, देख्तै उदेक !
संगीत पो हो कि या कोलाहल, छुट्टिएन आबाज कुनै,
ठोक्किनु पर्ने तरंगहरु, झिल्लीमा अल्झि दिदा प्रत्येक !
आफै भित्रको पशु चराएर थाक्दै थाकिन म कहिल्यै,
अब घाँसको संगत गर्दैमा के नै फर्केला र बिबेक ?
न गर्मीले पोल्यो, न जाडोले छोयो, न भेउ ॠतुहरुको,
बदले अरु पात्रोका पन्नासंगै, स्तब्ध “शिरिष” बाहेक !

US Dilemma: are Maoists still terrorists
By EverestUncensored Correspondent

After the seven Party alliance government and the Maoists signed the historic deal Wednesday, almost all the friendly nations of Nepal including the EU members have welcomed it. The US also said it as a “good first step”. However, the latest developments in Nepal have created a great dilemma for the US. It has ever vociferously stood against the Maoists. It never wanted the Maoists came into the mainstream politics. However, after Wednesday’s deal it seems finding very little things to support its stance.

Evils of the nation: Top Ten defaulters uncovered
By Indra Dhoj Kshetri

This year’s annual budget for Nepal’s 25 million population amounted just 143 billion rupees. However, 53 Business groups and individuals have defaulted 25 billion rupees with two largest banks of the country. The money was deposited at the banks by the individuals who worked hard to earn their two squares of meal. Those groups borrowed the money from Nepal Bank Limited (NBL) and Rastriya Banijya Bank (RBB). Both the banks are the government owned and the money kept there is people’s trustee. But no serious measures have been opted to make the defaulters to repay the money so far. For the first time, Nepal Rastra Bank, the central bank of the country made public the name of 53 largest defaulters this August.

SuryaBinayak to Lakuri Bhanjyanag to Godawari Hiking
By Administrator
This week, the Everest Uncensored team had planned to make the hike shorter and easier in contrast to the regular hikes. So the team started from Surya Binayek thinking we would end the hike at Lakuri Bhanjyang climbing down to Lubhu. When we reached the Country Kitchen Resort at the Lakuri Bhanjyang we had a little rest thinking the hike was coming to an end. However, after taking some refreshment at the resort some of our team mates desired to ascend further. We all agreed to go further towards Godavari.

Okhreni to Chisapani to SundariJal Hiking
By Administrator
Last week, the Everest uncensored team wanted to explore the natural beauty of Okhreni. It is a bhanjyang (pass) lying approximately at the altitude of 2000m above the sea level. From the vantage point of deurali, the northern ridges of Phulchowki range can be seen rising from Panauti along the banks of Roshi and the trail from Sundarijal to deurali at Okhreni village is one of the best that the north of Kathmandu has to offer. The mountains Langtang (7246m), Dorje Lakpa (6988m), Dome Blanc (6830m), Gan Chenpo (6397m) are seen at the north. A mane (shrine of religious significance) can be found at deurali presumably constructed by Lama Priests. Furthermore during the month of Chaitra, it is said that a religious fest is organized. At the bhanjyang, there is an expansive lawn aptest for a camping ground. However a solo endeavor is not recommended due to ample stories of cattle being dragged by tigers and leopards from the Shivapuri National Park. Not to mention wild boars that can give a good chase when provoked.

Figure1: The thrill of crossing Bagmati on foot and the ecstasy of its purity.

finally, towards true democracy
By Daulat Jha
I have to admit, I am impressed. I hadn’t held high hopes for the summit talks to conclude in a positive note, let alone reach an agreement in the many contentious issues from arms management to the fate of monarchy. I also believed that talks for a temporary parliament would only provide with more hurdles making the whole process needlessly longer. I still think the intermediary parliament is a farce, but I was surprised that the parties settled even as dodgy an issue as the allocation of seats.

Done!
By EverestUncensored Correspondent
After the historic understanding between the Maoists and the seven parties Tuesday night, Nepal has ushered into a new era of peace and prosperity
Finally, they did. Seven months of internal homework and diplomatic exercises, five rounds of summit talks three rounds of formal talks and dozens round of informal talks between the Maoist and the government talks teams and 21 hours of rigorous discussions during fifth round of Summit talks that began Tuesday have resulted into a historic agreement. The historic Summit talks between the Seven Party Alliance (SPA) and the Maoists have finally reached an understanding paving way for formal entry of the Maoists into the peaceful political mainstream. The six point understanding agreement has addressed all the major issues including fate of monarchy, arms management, interim constitution, interim legislature, interim government and electoral system for Constituent Assembly.

Civil society gathered outside the talks venue to give pressure for the early settlement of the issues.

शान्ति प्रक्रिया अन्यौलमै छ तर पनि नेताहरू शान्ति वहाली हुनेमा ढुक्क छन् । आउँदो जेठमा संविधानसभाको चुनाव गर्ने सहमतिसहित घोषणा भैसकेको आधारमा नेतृत्व यति विश्वस्त देखिएको हो । हाम्रा नेताहरू मात्र होइन, नेपालमा प्रभावकारी हैसियत बनाइरहेका विदेशी मित्रहरू पनि शान्ति प्रक्रिया सफल हुनेमा विश्वस्त बन्दै गएका छन् । उनीहरूले यही विश्वासका कारण नेपालमा लगानी गर्ने बेला यही हो, अब ढिला गर्न हुँदैन भनेर सक्रिय भएका छन् । ढिलो गरे लगानीको अवसर अरुले नै उम्काउलान् भन्ने कतिपयलाई परिरहेको छ । यो स्थिति खुशीको कुरा हो ।

CPI 2006 - Nepal Ranks 121st
By Daulat Jha
Transparency International’s Corruption Perception Index (CPI) 2006 is out, and I guess we Nepalese can be glad that we haven’t done any worse than before. But then, we haven’t done any better either. Nepal still has a score of 2.5 (10 being the least corrupt) and ranks 121 out of 163 nations. Bangladesh and Pakistan fare worse than us in South Asia. Most of the countries worse off than us are ‘failed states’ and extremely poor countries with a bad track record of human right abuses (like Iraq, Myanmar, Haiti and Sudan). The ranking is done on the basis of how rampant the people perceive corruption to be in the country.

Shame on Kathmandu people: Holy Bagmati turning into a repository for sewage and garbage
By EverestUncensored Correspondent
Bagmati is a sacred river to all the Hindu populace. It resides Pashupatinath, the holiest of all Shiva shrines, the ascetic God of Hindus, at its lap. It used to be the source of livelihood to people, fauna and flora living in the valley and down stream. It is still thought as a Holy place for Hindus to cremate, especially the Aryaghat. Thousands of people throng to Pashupatinath, with also the hope to take a dip into the river and take (drink) Jala (Sacred Water) from the river. When they see the pollution, many of them, I think abandon their thoughts. Yet, Bagmati water near Pashupatinath has been made cleaner.

Changa Chait and then some
By Rajendra Keshari Pandey
It was a bright autumn Saturday in October 2005, very similar to many other beautiful days often experienced in the Kathmandu Valley. We decided to visit our favorite place, Nagarkot, to get some of this wonderful fresh air. Arriving at our usual spot we wandered around taking in the serenity of the area.

गजल
By Mabi Singh
खिया लाग्दै नलाग्ने सुनको थुप्रो हो नेपाल ।
हिमालै राखी बोकेको ठूलो कोक्रो हो नेपाल !
कसैले भन्ला बैशै नआई कुप्रो भो नेपाल,
मेरो भार ऊठाई रहेको काम्रो हो नेपाल ।
झुप्रै सही घर, सांझ संधै फर्कुं फर्कुं लाग्छ,
छाना नहोला तर बचेराको ओथ्रो हो नेपाल !
मनग्गे ती काल रात्रीहरुले आकाशै निल्दा ,
दिनै नंया क्षितिज ल्याउने पात्रो हो नेपाल ।
श्रीखण्ड देख्छु म, तिमी भन्छौ तुहेक्रो हो नेपाल,
ओढ्न जाने दोसल्ला नजाने भाङ्ग्रो हो नेपाल ।
बोस्टन, अक्टोबर ३१

गजल
By Mabi Singh
काज क्रिया सकिएको दूर्भाग्य फर्कि रह्यो ।
न निल्नु न थुक्नु अमृत घांटि सर्कि रह्यो ।
कति खेर मर्ला र सिनो खाने आशमा
जिउंदो जाग्दो सामु बुढो गिद्द पर्खि रह्यो ।
एकै पटक मात्र मर्छु भनि बाँच्ने मान्छे
पटक पटक मर्ने डरले तर्सि रह्यो ।
डुब्नु उत्रनुको दोसाँधको जहाज देखी
बेदनामा समुन्द्री सतह चर्कि रह्यो ।
सुनामीले सोत्तर पारेको आँगनमा
पानी तर्काउन जमीन फेरी थर्कि रह्यो ।

Open Discussion –Worshipping Kumari
By Daulat Jha
The Supreme Court has suggested the formation of a committee to investigate the practice of Kumari worship in response to a petition that said the tradition violated human rights norms and that the chosen girls suffer from psychological damage. The Newari community maintains that it is a time honored tradition. Please use the comments section to discuss your views on the topic. Where should the line be drawn between accepting tradition and violating human rights?

Talks and the Congress Unification
By Rajen Budhathoki
It has been more than five months after the partial democracy restored and the peace talks were initiated. But people still do not feel the future secured. It seems that the ruling 7 party alliance and the Maoists have not realized people’s expectations who shed their blood during the Jan andolan –II against the autocratic Royal regime. It's the time for the leaders to be serious to materialize the dreams of the Jana Aandolan –II martyrs

Comeback!!!
By Niresh Joshi
Comeback with the vivacity that you used to have,
Comeback with the charm as if you were never sad,
Comeback with the love that you ever have,
Comeback with the weber as if you were never mad
Comeback with the touch, electric, which I lag
Comeback with the hugs as soothing as it was
Comeback with the kisses mesmerizing for to have
Comeback with the smile as lovely as it was
Comeback, comeback, Please comeback!!!

Historic Peace Negotiation: Get Rid of Infantile Disorders and Move Forward
By Govinda Neupane
In Nepal, unemployment is increasing from every stratum. When the ceasefire came into effect, not only the Maoist and government armies have been staying away from fighting, perhaps, their political leadership has also got no meaningful job. Therefore, they have been busy staging political plays. It is strange that till today they have not been able to start any sorts of meaningful peace negotiations; rather they are spending time in teasing and testing each other. Perhaps, they were tired and thought to refresh a bit by organizing series of roundtables in a festive environment. These roundtables, at least, kept their workers, media persons, 'civil society' chieftains and several hundred onlookers busy. This became some sorts of political orchestra and the people participated in enthusiastically. Therefore, the negotiation exercises became no less than colorful Jatras (traditional public shows full of entertainment with a mix of singing, dancing and drumming).

वहुसंख्यक नेपालीका महान् पर्वहरू दशैं, तिहार, म्हःपूजा, इद र छठ सकिए । द्वन्द्वमुक्त नभए पनि नेपालीले यी पर्व शान्तिपर्ूवक मनाउन पाए । यी पर्वको अवधिमा यो स्तम्भकार पनि ढुक्कैसँग बस्यो । तर पनि व्यवसायिक एवं सचेत नागरिकको हैसियतमा यस अवधिमा भएका महत्वपर्ूण्ा घटना प्रसङ्गबारे आँखा चिम्लिने वा मौन रहने कुरा आएन । अतः तिनै घटना-सर्न्दर्भबारे केही चर्चा गरौं ।
