It reminds us of Ezra Pound, an American poet, who once said "Man is an over-complicated organism. If he is doomed to extinction he will die out for want of simplicity".
From our motherland: The peace-talk is once again at the cross-roads and we want to remind both parties that Nepalese people demand that it bear some peaceful and lasting outcome.

"Mikaru ['white eyes' or Westerners] ar much like cattle. They are happy wandering about aimlessly all day long..., they are constantly getting sick..., and you have to lead them by nose over difficult terrain or they'll fall off the trail... But if you feed them well, they'll produce a lot of rich milk for you." - Sherpa Woman

More than fifty years since the first, and thirteen years after the second revolution, Nepal is still refusing to change. Instead of passing from one epoch to another, not only decades but also centuries have co-existed here. The locomotive of change that is accelerating around the globe has yet to find it's way to Nepal. Our existence appears more intertwined with the past than with our destiny; or, perhaps we simply cannot escape our past to initiate a better future. The progressive forces have been fighting a perpetual battle with the reactionary forces … and have gained precious little success.

As far as the 1990 constitution is concerned, it is in deed a good one, but no constitution can be and should be made totally rigid and for all time. Like the people and their needs, like the trimes and their demands everything is in a flux and the constitution is also not above and beyond the universal law of change.

Maoist are communist, they have taken arms, adopted violence, demands republican state, have killed many innocent people, are not liked by donor agencies, and aid giving countries like USA, India, Britain, etc. and thus they are different to us and should be viewed differently. Such perception will not work in 21st century. Not only that any analysis based on such perception will not give you correct solution to solve the country's biggest problem faced so far.

The Panchayat system was overthrown thirty years after its establishment because it was alleged that it was a dictatorial type of system. Leader Ganesh Man happened to be a staunch supporter of so called democracy on the strength of his two Brahmin colleagues and due to his being a Newar leader, all the Newars of the three cities of the Kathmandu Valley turned out to be strong supporters of democracy. After the downfall of Ganesh Man, caused by his two colleagues, the Newars probably found out the conspiracy of the two Brahmins.

Who am I? What am I? What attributes define me? These are great questions one asks of oneself. Answering them to the self is critical to lead a normal and productive life. Ultimately, it is our own sense of who we are that invokes our actions and how we spend our lives. Thus these are very important questions and answers.

A year after two airplanes crashed into the Twin Towers, thousands of people gathered on September 11, 2002, to remember the event. In Washington Square Park, New York City, hundreds spoke out against war on an all night vigil. The country was engaged in bombing Afganisthan, and there was talk of war against Iraq. Activists from all ages and backgrounds rallied to the call for peace.

But what really excites me is the fact that I am meeting more and more Nepalese here. In fact, one does not expect to meet many Nepalese in a little-known American city like Pittsburgh. But if one goes to New York or Washington or California, I have been told, one can see villages of Nepalese-of Sherpas of Helambu region, of Sherpas of Khumbu, of Gurungs and Thakalis of western Nepal, of Newars of Kathmandu valley and so on.

The management of drug therapy is one of the most important challenges in health care management. Drug related problems are considered as indirect costs to health care systems, and according to a 1992 study in the United States exceeded the direct cost of prescription medication.

KATHMANDU - Would the United States have enhanced its concerned interest in Nepal's Maoist insurgency had the tragic events of September 11, 2001 not occurred? It is difficult to say, but it is unusual that the US has suddenly chosen to increase contacts with the Himalayan kingdom that it has officially known for more than 55 years.

1. Why are Indian movies so long?
Mehboob Khan's "Aan" was one of the few Indian films of the 50s to get a released in English theaters. This Eastman Color swashbuckler, with Dilip Kumar (in his smiling, not soulful mode) as a Hindi Douglas Fairbanks, is a relatively brisk, buoyant affair. Yet a London reviewer couldn't resist sniding, "It goes aan and aan and aan."
The
Darbar Squares of Bhaktapur and Patan were selected
as examples for the way authenticity may be preserved
or endangered by historic preservation and other
contemporary activities.
This
kind of proactive approach characterizes Monk Krishnaman's
approach to life. " This is what the Bhagvad
Gita says: do your karma, but do not expect anything
in return. If you do it to get something back, you
will be disappointed."
