Open Source for Cheapo!!!
By pawan
Heck it is cheap.
Year’s back Chinese government thought it is too risky to use closed source software like Microsoft's product in government and military institute. Sure they want to make sure what's the heck is going inside Microsoft's software. For that reason, Microsoft concedes its source to Chinese government, as China is a big market. The same reason US military, intelligence and other sensitive institute favors open source, they too want to make sure their software do exactly what it ...

The Way it is
By Shreeya Shakya
It was just one of those lousy days, when you sit and watch the same stupid old movie you watched over a dozen times before and still have the patience to watch it all over again, scene by scene with an intense curiosity of what’s gonna happen next, when you already know what it is. Just those days, when after watching the movie, you switch channels on TV in an infinite loop! 1..2..3..4..55..56..1..2..3..4..55…56. I was desperately hunting for something to really amuse me. Then the button on my ...

In conversation with my boss.
By Hitesh Karki
‘So what is it that you will remember about this place once you go back’. This happened to be the question I had posed to my American guest en route to airport on board a Toyota Hiace van as he was about to bid farewell to this city. He incidentally did not happen to be a ‘tourist’ for this was his official visit. He was my boss.

No I am not the only one.
By Roshan Maharjan
What if you are struck with a thunderbolt? These extremities are rare but it happens and it’s true. You try to take comfort in your friends but what if you get hurt more when things are disclosed. What if a wise decision of sharing it, make things even worse. You feel like you are alone. You are driven to a conclusion “No I can’t cope up with the situation; I have had enough of this life". There is no one in this world who is there to say “I am with you”. For the time being, you feel as if this ...

Life in metro: a review

Juss wathced hindi motion picture,\"Life in a Metro\".It was good.Thoug the cast and crew were not so called Branded Actors,but Irfan Khan,kay kay menon,KanKana Sen,Shinyahuja were juss perfect.
Leaving acting in the limelight for a moment, the story(theme) of the movie was another strong point.It was the awful truth of the big metro cities. The crippling of people for Success.The Silky Tounge and low character business act show the low virtue of those people.All running for big thing which ...

Poor negotiation skills among the Nepalese officials
By pawan
On 2007-6-21 issue of The Rising Nepal, there is an interesting news with heading:
Poor negotiation skills put Nepal's interest in shadow. That mean Nepalese are really screwed up here. There is one joke, when Nepal and India sits for negotiation, Indian side have all Nepalese issue with them before hand. Not only that, joke goes further, India has all issues that Nepalese side going to discuss on their homework meeting back in Nepal. We can do very little when someone is very ...

बहिस्कृत
By Kapil Raj Pandey
तिम्रै अहँकार जोगाउन म नै तिरस्कृ्त
निभाउँदा पनि सारा कसम म नै बहिस्कृत
उपस्थितिको महत्व आँखामा देख्दा पागल हुन्थे
आज बेवास्थाको सुचिमा पहिलो म नै पुरस्कृत
निभाउँदा पनि सारा कसम म नै बहिस्कृत
झाल झेलमा पनि म माया नै देख्थे
आज अघाएरै मुक्ती मागे म नै अस्विकृत
निभाउँदा पनि सारा कसम म नै बहिस्कृत

Suitable Development Strategy for Developing Countries like Nepal
By Kiran Chalise
Very openly speaking, on one side you have people associated with Rosenstein-Rodan who argues that a successful development/industrialization strategy needs to “attack on all fronts”, that is aim for increasing in productivity and investment in all sectors of the economy at once. On the other there is Hirschman who argues that it is better to focus on a few key industries. These will create demand for inputs (backward linkages) and serve as inputs to other industries themselves (forward ...

Exploring the world Part II
By Nilesh Shrestha
Rituals are performed to make culture alive and culture is seamlessly mingled with religion. There are social bondages that suppress desires and freedom. I spent lots of time with a lady named Reema, a young 28 years old bright lady from Kuwait. When I first met her I though she was from Hawaii as there was no differences in her outfit with others...

“आज भोली……………………………”
By Santosh Koirala
आज भोली प्यारा लाग्छन काला काला रातहरु
आसुँ पुछ्ने कस्ले लाग्यो मायालु ति हातहरु !!
आकाश छुने मेरो चाह, त्यो उनिले नै टुटाइ दीइन
त्यती गाठो परेको माया, त्यो पनि छुटाइ दीइन
उनको मुटुको मेरो चित्र, त्यो पनि मेटाइ दीइन
अङलोमा बेरी बेरी, यसरी मलाई झुक्काईदीइन
तेसैले,
भुली दिया तिनको यौवन अनी ति नशालु आँखाका मातहरु
जलाई दिया तिनको तस्बिर अनी प्रेमपत्रका खातहरु !!

Do you want to start your own QC offshore business?
By pawan
Essentially, QC plays one big part in software development cycle, from beginning to end. Once blue print of software architecture is prepared, use cases are drawn and from use case, test cases are prepared. Use cases are prepared to optimize the chances of capturing the possible bugs. And finally tester starts the test and blah blah... This sounds pretty straight huh. Not so straight. Why? A software company needs many software testers. A tester requires an overall technical knowledge. A poor ...

Nepal Telecom sinks to a new low
By heretic (Aashish Dutta Koirala)
I am not sure how true this is -- but apparently, NTC has blocked calling cards from the US. Seriously, can any entity sink any lower? If this is true, there has never been a better opportunity or a better catalyst to accelerate some sort of movement to dismantle this ailing body once and for all. Any comments? If this is not true, I'll be glad to remove this entry.

Buddha is not a god.
By Dhilung H Kirat
Last Saturday I was dabbling around with fundamental philosophies of different religions with my friends. What I believe is god itself is a creation of human mind. Concept stimulated by the deep seated sense of insecurity and catalyzed by the sense of defeat against thousands of unsolved questions. God has been a perfect scapegoat. Most of the religions are based on superstition. They actually promote sin. Someone will come and protect you from your sin if you worship him. Isn’t that ...

Exploring the World Part I
By Nilesh Shrestha
I landed in a beautiful serene place. The day was sunny and sky was lying in distant, clear and beautiful. I didn't see any patches of clouds. The place where I just stepped on was a beach. The yellowish sand and the clean dark blue sea was enthralling. I looked at myself, but I was quite a different. I felt I was taller, paler and more muscular. I was even not wearing glasses, but I liked it as glasses are not comfortable and I could see well there. I noticed I was wearing an orange color ...

Kidney help

Hi all,
Kiran Balami is my neighbor and his family has been requesting for help from me everyday for the past two weeks to seek financial support for his kidney transplant operation. I would whole heartedly like to help him out but my financial situation does not allow me to do that on my own. So please folks, I am requesting all of you to contribute any amount that is feasible on your part. What might be little to us, can mean a lot to someone in his condition. Written below in Nepali ...

हाम्रो प्रेम अमर छ रे

Life – A Miracle
By Aarju Pandey
The sun shines; warm and reassuring, sunlight is bouncing off leaves and flowers. A small bud nestled in the middle of a thousand. Unnoticed, a part of everything else, green and tiny, the bud rests. So exquisite, yet still overlooked and ignored. It’s just another bud in the midst of many. Too quiet, too small, is it important at all? So subtle that your eyes pass over it and you think nothing of it. But suddenly it’s growing bigger and bigger, bolder and bolder! Faster still, so bright that ...

This I Believe – Listening
By Aarju Pandey
I believe in mental growth through listening. I believe that I can grow in terms of knowledge and experience when I listen. Listening is learning, whether it is listening to my teacher lecture about civil rights or listening to my grandma tell stories about her childhood in Nepal. Listening is, for me, to hear someone’s beliefs and incorporate them into my daily life. I believe that I can become more experienced in life and change my approach towards the ups and downs in life if I listen to ...

Usefulness of Comprehensive Rural Development Policies in the Present Context of Rural Development in Nepal
By Kiran Chalise
Nepal is essentially a rural country. More than 80 per cent of population live in rural areas with agriculture and allied activities as the major source of income and employment. The United Nations (UN) classifies Nepal as one of the least developed countries in the world. The country’s gross domestic product (GDP) was $5.6 billion in 2001, with an estimated per capita GDP of $240. Several factors have contributed to Nepal’s underdevelopment, including its landlocked geography, rugged terrain, ...

Why Nepal should go open source?
By pawan
Most open source softwares can be downloaded from Internet. Most of them come with source code and relaxed license. For developers it is source code, for system admin it is stable and secure. For commoners it is free to download and use. Most of the open source softwares do not provide good features, many of them are difficult to use, and poor in GUI. And surely most of staffs would like to see full featured GUI in their workstations. But for Nepalese entrepreneurs open source could mean saving ...

खाली पाउले आगो माथी नचाई छाड्यौ आखीर !
एक्लै नपिउने बाचा बचाउन साथ दिनै प-यो
म पिउदै नपिउनेलाई पिलाई छाड्यौ आखीर !
उत्कर्ष अनुभव गराई दिन्छु भन्दै नङ्ग्यायौ
म पतित भएको प्रमाण जुटाई छाड्यौ आखीर !
म शुन्य गतिमा छु त्यसमाथी छन् नेल गोडामा
घुमेर फनफनी रिङ्गटा लगाई छाड्यौ आखीर !
तिमीलाई जिताई स्वत: खुशीयाली मनाईयो
हारलाई स्वभाबिक मान्न सिकाई छाड्यौ ...
