A Weekend In The Lives of Nepali Students

Party with celebrities in London’s hippest club and and work for charity the next day. Get drunk in Cyprus. Go out for dinner with family in Hong Kong. Live it large and take care of your hangover when you wake up the next evening in Delhi. Nostalgically enjoy a traditional festival from home, far away from home. These are the weekends of young Nepali students, a demography that is increasingly traveling abroad for college education and finding out what being independent means, for now. Page 10

There’s a lot that amounts to a good audience turn out in a stadium concert, especially in a valley whose citizens have been living under a lingering dark cloud of political and social turmoil and are looking for a release of some kind. Throw

in a free SIM card for a mobile phone and add some of Nepal’s best rock acts on the bill, and you have a massive turn out for a stadium show.Page 17

LettersDear Nepali Aawaz,Just want to say thanks for the great poster of Lauryn Hill and Melissa Ethridge. It’s good to know that Nepali journalists are able to take photos just as good as any international photographer. I guess that’s the beauty of art, it breaks all barriers. Congratulations on a great start!Samrat, Kathmandu.

Hello Nepali Aawaz team,I have heard Kutumba, I got their two albums when I was in Kathmandu in spring this year. I completely agree with your write up. They are absolutely deserving of international promotion, and what better place than an international Nepali paper. I can’t wait to listen to their new album. I’ll have to get my friend in KTM to send it to me.Susan T., UK.

Hi Nepali Aawaz,I can’t believe Nepal has had it’s own women rock concert for three years! Thanks for updating us on it. Congratulations to all the performers and organisers.Sujata Sharma, Canada.

Hi Nepali Aawaz,It’s good to see a budding newspaper that boldly publishes the kind of political articles and views that are right, but prohibited in Nepali media by the current government. This kind of growth in Nepali media and the voice it has is perhaps just what the government is trying to stop altogether.Raman Bhakta Shrestha, Nepal.

Hi Nepali Aawaz,Just wanted to congratulate you on a wonderful 3rd issue. Keep up the good work.K. Shrestha, California.

Held through October 27- 31, Portland was the host for this year’s convention of the National Lawyers Guild. Amongst the 600 participants, mostly lawyers, law professors and legal academics from across the US, guest experts from Japan, Philippines, Belgium and Nepal were also invited at the event. “There is massive and systematic human rights violation taking place in Nepal,” Advocate Dinesh Tripathi who represented Nepal, said during the event. “The King himself showed disrespect to the law and constitutional provisions when he imposed his personal and direct rule in the country.” He also went on to talk about how the independence and authority of judicial branch of Nepal is seriously undermined

and how a large number of court orders have been disrespected by the Royal regime. The advocate also highlighted the fact that Nepal’s court system is “functioning under the growing shadow of militarization.” During the event, he appealed to the interna-tional community to give due attention and support to Nepal’s growing socio-political problems that have escalated since the King’s take over on 1 feb. 05. He urged the international civil society and global human rights community to continue supporting the human rights movement and the struggle for democracy in Nepal. The Guild has also decided to organise an international fact finding mission on and a delegation to Nepal.

Lifestyle Special: A Weekend In The Lives of Nepali Students

Party with celebrities in London’s hippest club and and work for charity

the next day. Get drunk in Cyprus. Go out for dinner with family in

Hong Kong. Live it large and take care of your hangover when you

wake up the next evening in Delhi. Nostalgically enjoy a traditional

festival from home, far away from home. These are the weekends of

young Nepali students, a demography that is increasingly traveling

abroad for college education and finding out what being independent

means, for now.

This issue, Nepali Aawaz explores the weekends of Nepali students

from London, Hong Kong, Cyprus, America and Nepal. Just how

different can weekends be for students of the same age group? What

is the lifestyle of a young Nepali from an urban area and a middle class

or upper middle class family like today? And is it really fun having to

work for the money you spend? We find out over a weekend in the

lives of a Nepali student.

Kanchan Limbu in Dharan

Friday night: I’m always anxiously waiting for Fridays to come. I usually just let lose, stay home, watch TV. Sometimes I actually even do some school work.

Saturday: My college starts early in the morning, so Saturday is always perfect for sleeping till late. In the afternoon I wash my clothes, clean up the house, work in the kitchen and relax in front of the TV.

Sunday: We have to go to college on Sundays too. But in the afternoon I go to my computer classes and in the evenings I usually go out with friends.

Recent good time: Dasain was fun, the whole family spending time together.

Compared to weekends abroad: I think life is definitely more fun here in Nepal. Abroad, you have to get a job so you are probably always running short of time. I work here too, but it’s just house chores. Abroad, you have to do your house chores, job-work and then

college too. So maybe its not as fun as it is in Nepal?

Nijina Gurung in Dharan

Friday night: Not many parties and events happen here, so I usually spend Friday night at home watching TV.

Saturday: Sleep till late, laundry, clean up around the house, you know, the regular.

Sunday: I go to college in the morning. But I am also a teacher, so my day usually ends after I’m done teaching.

Recent good time: We had a get together of friends before Dasain, like a pre-dasain party. That was loads of fun.

Compared to abroad: I’m actually not sure which would be more fun. Abroad, there are probably more places to go to and things to see. But at the same time, here you don’t have to get a part time job so that’s fun too.

Friday: It’s usually outing with friends or staying home watching movies. You never get the time to do those things during the week.

Saturday: I never have special plans

for saturday. Some Saturdays I get tied up with work, but I’m free then I find out what party is happening and make sure I’m there. Otherwise catch with friends in Nepal and US and clean up my apartment.

Sunday: More or less the same as Saturday, really.

Recent good time: On 29 Oct. I went to Dallas, TX to meet my friends. Then the pumpkin carving and gathering with friends in Tihar was fun too. I can’t forget swimming in the Tennessee river.

Compared to Nepal: I had lots fun in Nepal but not as much as i have in USA

Nabin Chaudhury in Alabama

Prakriti Sherchan in Dharan, Eastern NepalFriday night: I end up spending most of my Fridays nights at home. But I do enjoy going shopping in the evening sometimes.

Saturday: Saturday is quite well planned out for me. For the first half of the day I do some chores at home, clean up the place a bit, help out in the kitchen. Then in the afternoon I go out with my friends, just hang out in town.

Sunday: It’s a college day for us. But later in the day my friends and I go out to town and just relax. It’s a college day,

but it’s still weekend, you know!

Recent good time: My entire family travelled to Sikkim for Dasain, so that was the most fun I’ve had recently.

Compared to weekends abroad: Well I know that Nepali student have to pay for college themselves so they have to work. So I’m guessing that because they work they probably don’t have enough time to go out and have fun like here in Nepal. But here in Nepal we enjoy our freedom because the social structure is different and we don’t have to work.

NEPALI AAWAZ | ��NOVEMBER 9-22 2005

Trishna was a TV show host and producer in Kathmandu, Nepal. She was also once on the cover of WAVE magazine.

Friday night: Friday’s I tend to head to Chinawhite, which is this fabulous night club in Picadilly (any party animal worth his/her salt will have been there at one point or other). Getting in can be tricky as its one of London’s exclusive members only clubs. I get in because i am **ahem* “gorgeous”...and well, also because I do some part time PR for them. haha. Chinawhite is one of those places you go to so that you see and are seen at Chinawhite, to rub shoulders with A- list celebrities and its always filled with premiership footballers! There isn’t a week that goes by when taboloids don’t print a picture of someone famous stumbling out from Chinahwite. Their music is off the hook, the crowd never disappoints you, the decor is brilliant and the drinks are paid for. What more do you want when you all you want to do is let your hair down after a hectic week of work and endless university projects and essays! :)

Saturday: I sleep in on Saturdays. I also make my weekly call back home, to my darling mom and gorgeous brother. I work as a volunteer for Victim Support London which helps victims of crime. So i go see my clients if its been arranged. If not then it really depends on what my flatmaes are doing or what plans I’ve made with my friends. We generally tend to do movies, a quick drink in the local pub, a stroll in the park if the weather permits, some shopping, museum, art, plays, musical. There’s always a lot happening here, so if you are into it, then you can always find something interesting to do in London.

Sunday: The day starts with a big fry up, a full English breakfast at our regular cafe! I’m a huge TV buff so I get back and catch up on all the TV shows I’ve missed during the week. And in between commercials on TV, I try and get my laundry and apartment cleaning done. The evening usually fills up with reading for classes, replying my e-mails, a quiet meal with my faltmates before winding it up in front of the idiot box.

Recent good time: Oh, without doubt the International Student Cruise party on the Thames. My university organized it for the 1st year students, so techni-cally I wasn’t supposed to be there. But because I like going to all the parties, I have contacts, so I managed to get passes not only for myself but for my friend Aditi, who recently got here, and her sister. After a bottle of champagne, few Sambukas and Tequilas, the music made up for the lack of good looking guys. I especially enjoyed the night because it was the first night out for me and Aditi, whom I hadn’t met for three years.

Compared to Nepal: I can’t really say that its the fact I can party and stay out till late because my parents have always been cool with that even back home. I guess what makes the difference is mainly the options of all the things you can do and the general ambience. I mean, if you walk down Leicester Square at 4 AM, you will see hundrends of people running about having a one big street party. The energy is just great here. I love london. It might be one of the most expensive city to live in, but it also one of the most exciting!

Trishna Lama in London:

Friday night: It’s the end of a long week for me so I just stay at home, go online to check emails and chat. Then I spend the evening watching television to catch up on news and world affairs.

Saturday: My Saturdays are usually planned with friends in school on Friday itself. We end up going out to inter-esting places to hang out in or just to the bazaar if nothing else.

Sunday: It’s family time for me. My parents don’t have work on Sundays so we spend the day together. We go out

Friday night: Since Saturday is a holiday, most of the students in Cyprus stay up till late. Those who drink, end up drinking till they are out of their sense. Those who don’t drink usually watch movies.

Saturday: Well, if we have work we get up for it on time. Otherwise most of us sleep till 12 or 1 in the afternoon. Then we usually watch a movie or play cards with friends.

Sunday: It’s a holiday too, so we spend it relaxing unless we have work. We go to the pier or the beach sometimes.

Anisha Limbu in Hong Kong:

to town, meet relatives sometimes and we usually end up dining out.

Recent good time: Dasain and Tihar was the most fun I’ve had recently. In Tihar specially, during bhai tika.

Compared to Nepal: Nepali students here have independence and freedom. Not all of the local students our age have that kind of free time also because a lot of them generally work part time so they are quite busy. But for us Nepali students we have the time to go about and have fun also.

Recent good time: Well the most recent fun we’ve had was during dasain when we got some bottles of wine and us girls started drinking till we were almost out of our sense. We were calling the nepali guys on their cell phones and to their awakwardness, ragging them.

Compared to Nepal: The thing is in Nepal. we would always be in the shadow of our family. Here, we are always amongst friends so we can go out, eat, have fun, and do anything with our friends or on our own. There is that sense of independence and freedom of sorts.

Sarita Shrestha and friends in Cyprus:

Are you a Nepali student with an interesting story to tell?

Mandil is the Director of Nepal’s most popular party organising company and the online party portal, PartyNepal.com

Friday night: Here in Delhi, Sunday is the night off so the party night falls on Saturdays. Friday nights are mostly dinner with friends, a couple of drinks, a movie and back home by midnight.

Saturday: Saturday for me is what Fridays must be for most people. Eat out, drink some, go clubbing, drink some more, go to an after clubbing joint, get something to eat and try to be back in my apartment by dawn. I don’t really like to hop from one place to the other, but a few of my friends like to tryout several places in one night, and since there are so many options in Delhi, sometimes, I don’t really mind that.

Sunday: I haven’t seen a Sunday afternoon in Delhi for ages. Normally, by the time I wake up, its 5 or 6 in the evening already. Then there is the whole getting rid of the hang over bit. Get a dose of caffeine and nicotine and chill out in the terrace listening to some soothing music, and then finish up on some school work. Usually, I have friends coming over to my place, so we order in, watch a couple of movies at home, go out for some drinks and

get to bed by 2 or 3 AM. Dreading the long week ahead. Luckily I don’t have to worry about cleaning up my place and doing the laundry because I have a maid who comes every morning to do that for me.

Recent good time: I was in Kathmandu last week for Project Peace 2005 [PartyNepal’s annual street dance festival], and I had a blast there, watching thousands of people dancing in the open streets of Thamel was an amazing sight. That day was mostly about work though; co-ordinating things, taking pictures [for the website], making sure things went smoothly. The night before that was awesome. I had gone to Latin Quarters at Babarmahal Revisited with some friends and I had an amazing time. I really at home at LQ because I know most of the people there. The DJ was playing some good music, I was surrounded by people I know and because it was a Nepal Bandh night, the place wasn’t too crowded either. I had a great time there. Got home at around 5 AM.

Compared to Nepal: You can’t even compare weekends in KTM and Delhi. When I walk into a club in KTM, the DJ announces my name and it feels good to be at home, where people know

Mandil Pradhan in Delhi Bhaskar used to be the guitarist and Alok the drummer, for Xmarica, a popular rock band in the local concert scene in Kathmandu, Nepal.

Bhaskar

Friday: I get back from work only at 11 PM. After that though, I go to clubs or get together with my friends and cook bhat daal and maasu. Saturday: Oh, that’s simple. Sleep till late afternoon, wake up eventually, have some Ramen Noodles, surf the net, clean my car and finally start partying till late night..

Sunday: Most parts of the day is like a regular holiday with home chores. In the evening go to library to study for my Graduate Management Admission Test. It’s usually almost midnight when I get back. So all that I have left to do is eat, find out what’s happening online and sleep for the week ahead.

Recent good time: Few weeks ago I went to Detroit Lakes with my friends. We did some fishing, but dind’t catch any. haha. Then we decided to go to a Mexican restaurant. Food was alright, but the girls were mucho bonita!

Compared to Nepal: It’s totally different from what I do here in weekends and

Bhaskar and Alok in Minnesota

what I used to do in Nepal. In Nepal I used to go to Chakupat, Patan to jam with my bandmates, have some chyang and more than practice we used to make plans for our band. Those plans never worked out of course. haha. We used to chat for a few hours and it used to be fun. On Sunday I used to stay at home or hang around with my college buddies. I don’t do any of those things here. I miss those days. The thing that I miss most is asking for money(Rs100.00 or Rs50.00) from my parents ;)

Alok

Friday: It’ definitely a night out or for Movies. Or both!

Saturday: You can’t help but catch up on your sleep. Then of course during the day I do my laundry and some cleaning up.

Sunday: It’s time to get back to school work and take a quick road trip during the day, if possible.

Recent good time: Definitely the road trip with my friends to Ithaska State Park a few weeks back.

Compared to Nepal: I used to do a lot of mountain biking when I was in Nepal during the weekends but here there are no mountainsाााााा ााााा

you. In Delhi, you are just another guy looking to have a good time. In KTM, I don’t even have to wait for a weekend to party out mainly because I don’t have to think about waking up the next morning, save up money to pay rent or buy groceries to feed myself. I am a member at almost all the places I go to in KTM, so I get that extra little response from the staffs. That’s what home does

to me. I love Kathmandu, and no matter how limited its night life is, I enjoy my night outs there a thousand times more than here. In Delhi, I usually go out with a bunch of friends and we stick together for the entire night. But the best thing about Delhi is that you can get totally wasted and not have people tell you about it wherever you go for the next one month!

Jazzmandu has once again taken the city by storm. The fourth annual Kathmandu Jazz Festival was held from the 4th to the 12th of November. Organized by Upstairs Ideas and aptly labeled “the biggest jazz party in the Himalayas”, the festival this year has proved to be another mega-musical event. Jazzmandu 2005 featured performances by many acclaimed international acts including Soul Mate (Shillong), Groove Suppa (Bombay), Solid (Norway), David

Jacques and Carmen Genest (Canada) and Nepali bands like Cadenza and Dimple. Keeping in mind the quest to broaden and popularize the jazz scene in Nepal, “Jazz for the Next Generation,” a competition that allows five under-24 bands to perform in front of leading jazz musicians from the international scene, was also organized for the first time.

GRAND OPENING! TIBETAN & NEPALI CUISINE.

Act and Bernie’s London Jazz Groove, along with regionally acclaimed groups like Krish Masand and his Band, gave Jazzmandu’s reputation a real boost. Also performing were Prustaar and Gandharva, two Nepali classical bands, and of course, Cadenza.

The second annual Jazz Festival was organized a year later in March 2003 and it caused quite a stir in the media. With improved sound quality and new acts, the stage was set for another memorable event. Eight international bands, including Jamie Baum Quartet, Ralph Thomas, Natalie Williams and The Funky Homosapien were invited to play, and the headliners this time round were master percussionist Trilok Gurtu and European jazz guitarist Jesse Van Ruller. Needless to say, an amazing show was put together for an audience of over 2600 people. Jazzmandu 2003 was a certified hit.

In 2004, the line-up consisted of six inter-national bands and three local bands. With power-packed performances by Urban Connection, Hannah Vasanth Trio, Soul Mate, Max Lolo and Simak Dialog, and Louis Banks Brotherhood headlining the show, the festival made it big. And in addition, a free concert for school students was also organized at Budhanilkantha School with the help of SEBS (Students of Ex-Budhanil-kantha School). The main intention for the school event was to introduce jazz to a younger audience. The two-week festival included a Jazzmandu Peace Parade in Lazimpat, with bands from the Nepali and international scene, traditional dancers, Buddhist monks and vintage automobiles.

Striking the first chord:The annual Kathmandu Jazz Festival was launched in 2002 by Nepal’s jazz pioneer Navin Chhetri of Cadenza, Chhedup of Upstairs bar and Susan, who are now a part of the event management company “Upstairs Ideas.” It all began when Cadenza was invited to play at the Palmer Street Jazz Festival in Townsville, Australia, in June 2000. Navin and Chhedup were so moved by the show that they felt the need to have something like that in Nepal too. Once back in Kathmandu, Cadenza, along with Susan and Chhedup invited bands from London and Australia to play in Nepal at the self-produced concert, the first “Jazz at Patan” in October 2001, which was hugely successful.

Still not satisfied, Navin wanted to do something more significant, something that would make jazz more accessible and more appealing to the Nepali masses. When Suman Sachdev, who runs the upscale Gokarna Golf Resort, asked Navin to play at his resort for Shivaratri, Navin decided to take his

idea one up and invite other bands to perform with them. With Suman’s approval, a simple event turned into a major jazz festival. The team, along with considerable assistance from Shangri- La Hotel, Vidhea Shrestha, Singapore Airlines and Nepal Tourism Board, then began putting together the details for the biggest jazz gig Nepal had ever witnessed.

With Kevin Hunt and Don Burrows, a leading jazz musician from Australia often referred to as a ‘National Treasure,’ headlining the event, the first Jazzmandu festival held in March 2002 made quite an impact. The ability of the festival to draw major bands from the international jazz scene like Afro Dizzi

Jazz For The Next Generation was the first of the music competition for Nepali musicians less than 24 years of age. It was held on 4 Nov. at Yala Maya Kendra, Patan, and marked the beginning of the 4th annual Kathmandu Jazz Festival. There was actually supposed to be five bands competing but due to undis-closed reasons, two of them backed out at the last minute. This left us and the judges Daniel Formo, Bjørn Vidar Solli and Hakon Mjaset Johansen of the band SOLID! with “Jocose”, “Karma-valanche (Karma Avalanche)” and “In Between.”

Jocose opened up the show and did quite good, although they seemed a little nervous. It was Karmavalanche’s dynamic performance with Alan on drums, Abhishek on keyboard, Bibhushan on lead guitar and vocals and Bob on bass that really got the crowd going. They livened up the show with their original compositions, two of which were instrumentals and the other a song called “Smile Away.” Then came In Between, which also put up a fairly impressive show but there’s no denying that Karmavalanche was a touch act to follow.

Jazz for the Next GenerationA music festival tries to create an appetite for jazz bands in an era of MTV hipsters. SAHARA SHRESTHA

Finally, the judges themselves got up on stage for a jam session in which Bob of Karmavalanche had the privilege of taking part. It’s no surprise Karma-valanche bagged the first prize; an opportunity to play at Jazz Bazaar in Gokarna with some of the top bands featured in the festival and to have an intensive workshop with the musicians. In Between came in second and Jocose, third. The winning band was also honored by an en core to close the contest, for which they performed another truly electrifying original instru-mental titled “Electric.”

There’s a lot that amounts to a good audience turn out in a stadium concert, especially in a valley whose citizens have been living under a lingering dark cloud of political and social turmoil and are looking for a release of some kind. Throw in a free SIM card for a mobile phone and add some of Nepal’s best rock acts on the bill, and you have a massive turn out for a stadium show. X-treme Rock Show 2062, held on 29 Oct., would be a perfect prototype. And by all means, this is no disrespect to the some of the performing artists at the event, as 1974 AD, Robin and the New Revolution and Cobweb are more than capable of drawing large audiences without the help of a SIM card. Other performers included the British band The Hidden, who recently set the record for the highest gig in the world by performing at the Everest Base Camp, metal act X-Mantra and rock outfit The Axe.

X-treme Rock Show 2062 drew close to 22,000 people in the audience, filling up the seats on one side of the Stadium. But it wasn’t close to matching the massive turn out of 1974AD’s Rock Yatra in 2002, the first true stadium concert in Nepal where the entire venue- ground, seats including those behind the stage

- were filled to capacity and fans even climbed on the stadium roof to watch the show.

Surely it wasn’t as fun as a stadium concert could be for the bands to have their audience, and for the audience to have the bands, quite literally, a football field away from each other, just to ensure security for the royal guest, Crown Prince Paras. Mero Mobile, who gave way the SIM cards with the tickets, is owned by relatives of the Royal family.

It must have also been somewhat surreal for Robin to perform with the crown prince sitting in front of him, since

X-Treme Rock Show 20�2A rock show gives away free SIM cards with every ticket and reserves an empty football field between the stage and the cordoned [real] audience for His Majesty Crown Prince Paras to grace.

he is one of the few vocal pro-people/ democracy singer songwriters in Nepal, and democracy being something the King has currently suspended in Nepal.

Nevertheless, Xtreme Rock Show, organised by Dynamic Era Vision, was one of the more successful and better

major rock shows in a long time in Kathmandu. It was also a good PR event for Mero Mobile and a great photo-op for the Crown Prince, who was once involved in a hit and run incident that left renowned singer Pravin Gurung dead. Rock on.

Buddy Guy

Blind Boys of Alabama

Do you want to watch the legendary bluesman Buddy Guy and the legendary gospel group Blind Boys of Alabama live in New York next week?

Buddy Guy, the four time Grammy winning Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee, and the reigning king of Chicago Blues, is more than just an artist; he is a living legend whose perfor-mances always enthrall or surprise audiences. His distinct singing style and guitaring has cap-tivated blues and guitar enthusiasts for decades, and he is deservingly mentioned in the same breath when blues enthu-siasts talk about guitar gods and blues legends like Muddy Waters, B.B King, Steve Ray Vaughn or Jimi Hendrix. The icon who has been perform-ing for over 40 years hasn’t always lived large, spending many years as a struggling artist even after being famous. But the last decade, in which he won his Grammies, has treated him better. His latest album “Bring ‘Em In” was released in September this year. Take part in our Music Downtown contest and win yourself a chance to watch him live next week!

Multiple Grammy winners Blind Boys of Alabama are truly a landmark in the Gospel music map. The group, originally founded in 1939, has been performing for over 60 years. And now the founding members Clarence Fountain, Jimmy Carter and George Scott along with newer recruits Joey Williams, Ricky McKinnie, Bobby Butler, and Tracy Pierce are taking their vision higher by fusing the traditional gospel sound with more contemporary styles. And the move must have worked out well; in 2001 and 2002, they won two consecutive Grammy awards. In 2004, the group collaborated with the young soulful folk-rock singer Ben Harper for the amazing studio set There Will Be A Light, which also won the team a Grammy. Take part in our Music Downtown contest and win yourself a chance to watch The Blind Boys of Alabama live next week!

Things are about to heat up in Kathmandu this winter as the city prepares to host the South Asian Rock Fest 2005. For the first time in the region, rock outfits from the South Asian countries are coming together for two days of rock in Dashrath Stadium on 9th and 10th of December. According to the organizer Enterprise Y, big time bands from Bangladesh, India, Pakistan and Nepal have already confirmed their performance in the fest. And apart from the major stadium shows, the organisers are

also trying to co-ordinate several smaller events in other venues around town. “The idea behind the fest is to bring together the youth of the South Asian region with rock music as the medium,” said Yubakar, the founder of Enterprise Y and the project producer and director. Proceeds from the concerts will go towards educating underprivileged children of Nepal.

Look out for details about the South Asian Rock Fest 2005 in the next issue of Nepali Aawaz.

The venue for upcoming South Asian Rock Fest has already hosted several rock concerts including 2002's sold out solo show Rock Yatra by 1974 AD

GENERAL

NAA announces National Championship dates

NAA, in a press release, said that the association is conducting selection tournaments in 60 districts prior to the regional selection tournaments. The association also announced dates for the regional selection tournaments. The tournaments host 15 events for men and 12 events for women. The national championship will see 21 events for men and 18 for women.

NSC to set development fund

National Sports Council (NSC), the governing body of Nepali Sports under Ministry of Sports and Education, has made an effort to institutionalize the development of sports and upgrade Nepali sports in the international arena. The move comes as per the command of the patron of the council, Crown Prince Paras, as there was no such constructive effort in this aspect for the last decade. The council will also construct sports infrastructure in the country for holding regular sports training and tournaments of interna-tional standard. Budget limitation has been cited as one of the constraint for the development. For this, special sports development fund has been established as per the constitution of the council. According to Minister for education and sports, Radha Krishna Mainali, a five member committee has been formed for the establishment of the required

fund. Likewise, the council is to make financial statement on monthly basis in coordination with the auditor general’s office for transparency.

The world is just a click away!

We are living in a fast, modern world and yet the irony is, the age old adage, ‘a picture is worth a thousand words’, still holds true. The first impression is still the last impression andIMAGE IS EVERYTHING.

You have to make a mark, leave an impression. Your logo, stationary, website - every little thing is a reflection of who you are and what you do.

The world has shrunk. Geographical barriers no longer hold true. There is a new world in the making – one driven by information.
