Here Cometh Ethanol Revolution!
By Ishwar Khatiwada
Ethanol revolution in the U.S. is finally materializing. The rising oil prices, increasing aggression between the U.S. and oil producing Middle East, and much real and much talked about global warming are helping usher this revolution. Yesterday, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) released its much anticipated report on “Prospective Planting”. The report revealed that U.S. farmers are expected to plant 90.5 million acres of corn in 2007, up 15% from the last year. The 90.5 million ...

Insecure Men
By Kiran Chalise
Insecurity is a feeling everyone experiences right from childhood to an older age, regardless of gender. I am focusing specially on male insecurity. And, it certainly makes for a peppier subject because of the perceived contradiction in the phrase- male insecure?
But let’s talk of the entire males. His mother and father have probably decided early in their parenthood how childhood toys are to be distributed between boys an d girls; ...

बुझाई
By Bishwa Nath Aryal
बुझ्दैमा सब बुझ बोझ हुन गो
बुझेर बुझ्ने कति?
बुझ्ने के र कसोगरी बुझिलिने
बुझ्लान बुझाए जती?
कहाँबाट शुरु गरी कुन कुरा
कहाँ पुगी टुङिग्ने?
बुझेको जती नै यथार्थ कसरी
कसलाई बुझाईदिने?

Seeds of Disparity
By Rajendra Keshari Pandey
Yesterday during a small gathering among our friends, the subject of gender issues was raised. We also discussed the catchwords of - INGOs and NGOs associated with these issues, because for them gender problems make money. By establishing an I/NGO it gives employment to the organisers, consultants and advisors, but rarely appears to benefit the target groups. In Nepal it has become a prestige and a fashion to establish an I/NGO. During the discussion our English friend stated a proverb to try ...

I AM NOT BREATHING MUM
By Anup Sharma
Something hit me, I couldn’t breathe
My heart stopped beating, I couldn’t feel
Last thing I heard was “are you ok there”
After that nothing was clear
Mum…. I am not breathing
My heart has stopped beating
I think I am dying mum….
Mum I think am going numb
The sirens and horns are pinching me
I smell my blood although I can’t see
I wish I could spend the final moments in your lap
Before I leave you for the eternal nap
I am sorry to leave you so early
It wasn’t my fault and I have to pay so ...

“Nepal - Nay Pal!”
By Anup Sharma
Few weeks back a very good friend of mine left for the USA. He was very happy about getting a visa to the USA and was determined to start a new life there. I was very curious about his future plans and to resolve that curiosity I asked him if he has a plan to come back to home land. With a smile in his face he said “Nepal!!. Nay Pal”. Well that is just a story out of thousands of Nepalese going abroad or who are already abroad. In the past decade, Nepal has seen the surge in the number of ...

Empathy
By Ujwal Shrestha
Aakash stretched his right hand languidly and reached for the packet of cigarettes on his drawer. He sat upright, propped up both his pillows behind him and rested his back on it. There were just three left in the pack. He realized that he had smoked the other seventeen cigarettes in the last seven hours. Groping for the lighter under the quilt with both hands, he smiled as he remembered how he had promised to himself the previous year that he would never smoke again. He finally ...

Education
By Akriti Panthi
Education
Education is a reward
How dare we even get bored?
The ones longing for it cannot afford it
Yet, the ones with it just quit
We do not value it as much
For our money is such
Why bother to learn

आदत
By Kapil Raj Pandey
तिम्रै आकर्शण को राप मा सम्पूर्ण शरिर पगालेर
एकै आवाज मा तिम्रो आए पनि दौडेर
नसोच्नु कदापि तिम्रो दास् मलाइ
तिमि मेरो आदत हुन सक्छौ तर प्रेम होइन
बगेकै छ तिम्रो असर मेरो नशा भित्र
शत्रु पनि तिमि मेरो तिमिनै मेरो मित्र
नसोच्नु रोकिनेछ मेरो धड्कन तिम्रो मुटु बिना
तिमि मेरो आदत हुन सक्छौ तर प्रेम होइन

When I would feel sick again????
By Saurav Thakur
Finally I had a different Friday. Not as every Fridays when I used to be excited about weekend… rather I was planning to take rest this time. I was not sure but something seemed to be wrong with me after a sleep less night with fever.
Woke up early morning around 8:30. I could not stop myself from driving my New 135 CC, MERCEDES, which knows my destination. I was driving and reached office around 9:15am. At the first glance my seniors noticed that I am not at my best. Everyone started ...

Street children: What do We do?
By Shreeya Shakya
Time: around 9 a.m. Day: Every week day, Place: Jamal. Description: Perpetual commotion with honking micro vans, bickering conductors, utterly annoying patient drivers and feebly strained impatient passengers like us, throwing frequent glances over our watch, hoping against hope when the driver would jam his foot on the accelerator pedal, and few irascible ones hollering at the drivers. Surely enough amidst the hustle and bustle, popping out here and there, are the ...

Diamond Cuts Diamond
By Rajendra Keshari Pandey
I am an ardent reader and a deep believer in the truth of our proverbs (Ukhaan), tukka (parables) and ancient sayings. I myself use, practice and implement these evergreen saying into my daily life. I often tell my friends that just pondering a little upon these golden key words and trying to apply them in our daily lives can bring about a difference. For example “Diamond cuts diamond, and iron cuts iron “or” something which can be done by a needle, cannot be achieved by a sword”. I also ...

गजल
By Mabi Singh
उन्का सम्झनाका थलीमा धराप चिताएं !
मेरा याद अल्झी रहोस् भन्ने पाप चिताएं !
निक्कै नजीकै साथ बितायौ यो बरफ कुद्दै
हेलमेल बढ्यो र अंगालोको ताप चिताएं !
फैलिन सकिने सम्भाबना देखें मिलनमा
घाम भन्दा पारी धरातलको नाप चिताएं !
ओठ टोकी रह्यौ मानौं बिगत केही फुत्केला
मैले बस् हाम्रो भबिष्यको बार्तालाप चिताएं !
सपना कजाउन कति निदाई मात्र रहुं ?
जगाउने आबाज उन्को पदचाप चिताएं !

No Complaints, Please
By Rudra Pandey
People casually say ‘I had a bad day.’ This practice is very common and most of the times we end up labeling even a normal day as a ‘bad day’. However, the definition of a ‘bad day’ differs from person to person.
I have tried to list a few so-called bad days here:
• A student claims to have had a bad day after going through tough exams or after getting bad results;
• A beggar after being unable to gather enough for the day;

Kantipur features women in IT: my subjective review
By Dovan Rai
Falgun 7, Anniversary of Kantipur daily , anniversary special supplementary issue with theme “New Nepal” , on the last page is an article on new age women in new jobs, women in IT.
As I read the article, I was caught in confusion: whether I should get glad for being featured as new spirit of woman or feel foolish for being used for sensational purpose.
I was confused:
Would the author have made similar description of physical attributes like length of hair and shade of lipstick had
