Football fever - have you caught it?

The interesting thing about getting crazy over something is you put everything aside and focus on something that you love the most. The same is with me and my addiction towards football. And ever since the FIFA World Cup 2010 has began, I seem to care about nothing else than football. As an engineering student, I should be concentrating on my studies with assignments, internals and projects. Yet, I seem to give my priority to football. This is a strange feeling that I cannot ignore.

Not only me, everyone is suffering from this disease. We call this “A Football Fever”. This is a disease that no doctor in the world can cure. And whether you are at work or studies or doing nothing at all, the craze of this World Cup will hunt you down and make you tune on your television and make you wave a flag. So unless you have been hiding in a cave somewhere you cannot ignore the fantasy and excitement that this FIFA World Cup 2010 brings.

The World Cup fever has gripped lots of people in many ways. The youngsters literally view football as their second religion and are willing to sacrifice anything for this. People are thronged to shopping malls to buy international kits. Also football has been a commercial market now. Several companies have been launching their products with a World Cup offer. There are even advertisements based on Football. Also several groups have set up the big screens on several places, so that a huge mass can celebrate the FIFA WORLD CUP 2010 together. There is a common theme in people “Play football, eat football, drink football, sleep football”.

Then there comes the side effects: The sleepless nights (insomnia), the lazy and a tired day and no interest in anything besides Football. But whatever the side effects are, we all love football in the end and no one can do anything about it. So keep waving your flag people.

Shirish Ko Phool : Review & Download

One of the finest book ever written in Nepali literature....Shirish Ko Phool and one of my personal favorite. I have read this novel over four times or say five times..and each time I finish the novel I feel pang and it hangs on my head for so many days. Why guilt is so painful that made such a strong woman called Sakambari to suicide..or die…?? The novel has a wonderful language..the simplest of all. When I had read it for the first time..to tell the truth that I hadn’t really understood the novel, I felt the love story in it and I could not understand the passion in the novel.. But this day I may say I am able to figure out the passion and the feelings of the author.. I really appreciate the wonderful story, the plot the real setting, the real characters…and the situation of the novel till it ends. The pain of running away from the feelings and passion. When the Suyogbir says.."Ma glass ma bhagchu” ( I forgot the line exactly…). The feeling is that we run away from pai

नेपाली टाइप गर्ने सजिलो तरिका

मदन पुरस्कार पुस्तकालयले २००७ २००३-४ ताका नेपाली युनिकोड किबोर्ड लेआउट, रोमनाइज्ड र ट्रेडिसनल सार्वजनिक गर्यो । नेपाली टाइपिङ (ट्रेडिसनल) जान्दै नजान्ने (कहिले नेपाली टाइप नगरेको) मैले, मदन पुरस्कार पुस्तकालयले सार्वजनिक गरेको रोमनाइज्ड नेपाली युनिकोड किबोर्ड लेआउट कम्प्युटरमा राखेर पहिलो पटक कम्प्युटरमा नेपाली भाषामा लेखेँ । यसविचमा कम्प्युटर तथा मोबाइलको लागि धेरै किसिमका नेपाली किबोर्ड लेआउट तथा एप्सहरु आइसकेकाछन्, तर पनि इन्टरनेट प्रयोगकर्ताहरु नेपाली टाइप गर्नुपर्दा अप्ठ्यारो मान्छन् । मलाई धेरैले सोध्ने गरेको प्रश्न भनेको, "फेसबुकमा कसरी नेपाली टाइप गर्ने?" अत: यो ब्लगमा मदन पुरस्कार पुस्तकालय (मपुपु) ले निर्माण गरेको नेपाली युनिकोड किबोर्ड लेआउट बारे चर्चा गर्दैछु। प्रिती, कान्तिपुर लगायतका 'ट्रु टाइप फन्ट' (ttf) प्रयोग गरेर ट्रेडिसनल लेआउटमा नेपाली टाइप गर्ने प्रयोगकर्ताहरुले, नेपाली ट्रेडिसनल युनिकोड किबोर्ड लेआउट राखेर, इन्टरनेटमा सजिलै सँग नेपालीमा लेख्न सक्छन् । भन्नुको मतलब, तपाईलाई पहिले नै नेपाली टाइपिङ आउँछ भने टाइपिङ गर्ने तरिका उही हुन्छ, उही &q

घोडा तबेला [संस्मरण]

स्याफ्रुवेसीबाट बिहान साँढे सात बजे निस्कँदा, एकैदिनमा धेरै माथिसम्म नजानु 'हाइ' (लेक) लाग्छ भन्ने लोप्साङ, लामा होटल आइपुग्दा, पानी पर्दैन तपाईहरु माथि जान सक्नुहुन्छ भन्न थालेको थियो । दुई बजे लामा होटल पुग्दा, पानी सिमसिम परिरहेको थियो, चियाका लागि हामी (विवेक दाइ र म) छेउको होटलमा रोक्कियौँ । लोप्साङ, आफ्नी जर्मन पर्यटक लाउरालाई लिएर अलि पर्तिरको होटलमा गएर रोकियो, हामीले लोप्साङलाई बोलायौँ तर उसले ईशाराले नआउने संकेत गर्यो, उ चिया पिउँदै थियो । तर लोप्साङ सँगै भएकी जर्मन पर्यटक हामी बसेको होटलमा आएर गफ गर्न लागेपछि, लोप्साङ पनि पछिपछि आयो । एक घन्टा बस्दा पनि पानी खासै रोकिएन, तर लोप्साङ पानी रोकिन्छ, तपाईहरु घोडातबेला पुग्नुहुन्छ भनेर हामीलाई भनिरहेथ्यो, सायद उ हामीलाई लामा होटलमा नबसोस् भन्ने चाह गरिरहेको थियो । अघिल्लो दिन माछापोखरी, काठमाडौँबाट बस चढ्दा, लोप्साङ हामी भन्दा अघिल्लो सिटमा थियो । ९ घन्टा लामो बस यात्रामा, लाउरा सँग खासै केही कुरा नभएपनि, लोप्साङ हाम्रो लागि पनि गाइड झैँ बनिसकेको थियो । स्याफ्रुवेसी, विवेक दाइ र मेरो लागि नौलो थियो, लोप्साङकै पछि लागेर, ह
