SAG Analysis

Feb 23, 2010
Its wrong to criticize when the game is going on. The game is over now and it is the right time to make analysis. South Asian Games (SAG) picturized the real situation of every South Asian nation. India, being the foreword nation clenched the first position and maintained its record. Before commenting others, it's wise to see us.

Nepal's position obviously cannot be improved while comparing it with previous years. Both luck and handwork did not support Nepal on this SAG. The lift accident brought sorrow n the very beginning which followed by the lost of medals. Nepal had the good position in football atleast in South Asian Nations, but it's bad luck led to fight against the organizing nations which took Nepal to the heavy loss. Football could have been best if it could stay a bit far from politics.

If A division league would continue without any sort of interruptions. Lack of such games reduced the practice level plus good players. More than player's weakness, politics affected football. However women's football was wonderful one unless it got defeated with India. This signified the probability of medal in Women's football in upcoming International games.

Previous gold medal winner could not perform well this time which truely disappointed the sports lover.Wushu could not be that fruitful either. News regarding 'Second International Goal' in hockey indeed was a funny one. How can we escape from the high scores like 21-0? Squash was another sorrow
where none of the hopes existed. Golf could not turn fruitful either. Nor could cricket. It was definitely bad luck for Nepal to get opponents like Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and Pakistan. However the players ust have gained certain lesson after playing against those test playing nations.

Considering the lesson, it's necessary for them to play good next time. Last match against Pakistan must be saluted. Nepal could not escape from the conflict this time. Quarrel in the stadium must have shown the true behavior of Nepalese to those South Asian countries. Ignorance of Nepalese was shown by the upside hanging flag and the old national anthem. How can we forget the debate of the tenth day because of which Nepal had to lose a medal! Didn’t that prove that there was no good and effective management there? The case would have been compared with that of past if Binita Maharjan and Sunil Lama would not win the gold medal on the enth day.

Thanks to them who at least saved our nose by bringing the medal.Viewing from the individual's point of view SAG turned fruitful to Rajendra Bhandari, Aysha Shakya and yes! Dipak Bista for sure! Rajendra made the gossippers mum by making the historic record! Aysha managed to grab the golden medal and make her dreams fulfil and Deepak? I should not speak at all. He truely is a hero. Although Nepal won 8 golds, highest in all SAG held outside country cannot be satisfied. Only the means of medal was
through the martial arts. It was Bhandari who took the medal by running.

Where is the position of Nepal in other fields? And who is responsible for it? The question counts because only then the result next time can turn out to be fruitful. Nepal's performance in 11th SAG cannot be said satisfactory because the position fell down. It was with Afghanistan that Nepal had to go
through! What a shame! It was only 8th SAG that made Nepalese satisfied.

The efforts made by every single player must be saluted from the true Nepalese heart. I no way blame the players for the weak performance. Instead the Government, existing political parties carry all the credit for it. I blame them. Whe there exists no bright future for the players, the excitement of the players just to show gratitude towards the country brought all those gold medals. what will these players get if  tomorrow they grow disable? Is their any financial security for them?

Anil Gurung would not go out if he would be satisfied here itself. All these players is going to get
next is the little fake respect by PM or Presidents and there will end the story of these players. There exists a separate ministry Sports Ministry in Nepal, but what has it done for the sports in Nepal? 

Rajendra Bhandari brought the gold all because of his personal effort. Has Government done
anything there? How often does Nepal organize the cycling competition in Nepal? When there exists no any regularity, how can we hope for the medal through cycling? And what about swimming?

Let's not compare with India, but Nepal should be compared with Pakistan, Srilanka and Bangladesh for obvious. Bangladesh, being the organizing position got the hometown benefit. Bt what about Srilanka and Pakistan? The war in Srilanka has been recently concluded though it managed to get a good position.  Same with Pakistan as well. Has any Nepalese leaders thought for it. When the issue comes to  international games, Nepal has always been backward. Cricket or football anything could hardly turn beneficial.

It's now high time for every citizen who hopes for medal in the tally list to raise the voice for the  sportsmen. We dont want the long term project but we want the action immediately and now. Being fifth is nothing to feel proud for the sports Ministry. Ministry has to work hard to get into top three in
upcoming SAG.

Chocolaty Love

Feb 14, 2010
Choclaty Love

While refering to my mini dictionary, mean ing of love was explained as: 1. very strong affection and sexual attraction; 2. great liking; 3. romantic or sexual relationship between two people who are not married to each other. My mind got confused and then. Meaning number 1 made me satisfied to some extent, Meaning number 2 could not make clear and meaning number 3 was not at all satisfactory. 'Strong affection' could be one of the portion of love, but how can there be sexual attraction in all the love? However, considering today's love, the meaning could turn satisfactory. Regarding the second meaning, 'great liking', I could not support it nor could protest against it. Regarding the third, that could not satisfy me from any point. How can love be limited before marriage only?

Then I came down to present status of love. I would rather prefer calling it 'chclaty love'. I thought to write on this topic, after seeing the couple at on corner of the street at the time of loadshedding sitting at one corner catching each other's hand. My mind could not take a side, was that the love? This incident compelled me to turn down the pages of dictionary and could not get the exact meaning. Life in town, or college life's one rememb ering part is love affair. If any guy or girl studying in grade eleven says 'I am in relation' Is not that full of prestige? And how about the sayings, ' My boyfriend has a bike', ' My girlfriend comes to college in scoty'? Is not that full of prestige? While studying in my college, even I realized that good mobile set, bike and good dressup full of pocket money are the factors to get the beautiful girl. And taking the girl round the city in the backeat of the bike! Ah! Anyone can figure that out!

It's fun, and yes! Its choclaty love! Choclaty love definitely can not exist for long time and everyone will realize this with the crossing time. Love today is made fashion. While listning to various love stories, the suffering is there in maximum cases all because of the choclaty love. Choclaty love begins with purposal then the date and first kiss and then terminates within certain of sexual intercourse. Cases of abortion in Nepal as well is in increasing trend and the numbers of college studying girls are equally increasing as
said by one of the report in one of the FM station.


Season of love, February 14 is in the air. Youngster's in Nepal has great importance of this particular day. Various TV shows, FM shows completely dedicate their time for this day. And even mass media has contributed for making this day as important as Dashain.

Loving is not a crime at all, but I say choclaty love is a crime. Comparing the love of decade back and that of today, we find the huge difference. Like air, water and street, love is getting polluted as well.
And when VJ's or Rj's claim that love is in the air, all I wishper is 'The Polluted Air'!

Taking a girl to hill side at Nagarkot on the back seat of bike, entering the café, kissing there with some other physical fun! That's love for the present generation or, spending the balancing sending messages, or
talking on the phone, that's love for the present generation. 'Love at first sight' Can that happen? But that's love for the present generation. They say Yes! How can you fall in love just seeing her for the first time? Without knowing her or even talking to her? What else should I say for it beside choclaty love? I think that there needs to be proper understanding between both boy and the girl to be in real love! Understanding can be developed only after long span of friendship among them as knowing anyone really takes more time. You cant be true girlfriend by saying 'Hey Hey Hey I want to be your girlfriend' As Avril says in her song.

Valentine day is not a bad festival, but it needs to be celebrated in proper way. Love needs to be pure. Removing the virginity can never be proof of real love. On this valentine day if anyone is in plan to
purpose a girl, or breakup or kiss or get physical. Turn responsible and think if it is choclaty. Is it selfish? And think if can be ever lasting and only then go ahead. Keep it in mind you have to be responsible and must be able to answer if tommorow your child asks anything about your past. If you are in relation, think of new ideas and resolution to improve your relation rather than getting physical this day. Let's  contribute to make the love pollution free and celebrate 14 Feb. Happy Valentine's Day!

Bitter Truth

Bitter Truth

Men and Women are like two wheels of the same cart.” How many times have we come across this saying? It is also a famous point made in debates in favour of women. Regrettably, the quote is applicable only in words. In reality, one wheel is a tractor wheel while the other belongs to a bicycle. The first president of Nepal was a male. The first prime minister of Nepal was a male. The first doctor of Nepal was a male. Even the First person to climb Mt. Everest was a male!

Before elaborating on the gender discrimination at home, let’s look at the international scenario as well. ALL presidents of the United States have been males. The first person on moon again was a male. The first person to invent telephone, cycle, fountain pen... again a male. Now the question arises: Why not female? A common answer might be: the dominant males confined women within the four walls of the house. Or that the women have not always been literate. Yes, that might be the case. Because to do most of the abovementioned tasks, one has to be literate. But let’s ignore the days gone by for a moment and come back to the present days. Times have changed. Most women are literate now. It is getting increasingly hard for males to challenge females: there are more women graduating from U.S. colleges then men. Imagine that even a couple of decades ago! In my school, one girl outscored all of us boys.

And yet, the gender divide remains. Why are all top posts in Nepal occupied by males? Why Nepal, why is the United States still ruled by a male? And why don’t we have more women in every business? It must be that women either don’t dare to aim high or they are simply not interested. Call me a misogynist, but it has been my experience that while most of my male friends are well aware of what is happening around the world, my female friends struggle to name Nepal’s prime minister. But if I ask them anything on Bollywood, they don’t have to think for two seconds to come up with the answer.

They can tell the sari colour of an actress in a particular film, the style of their earring, even whole length of dialogues. Who is to blame for this state of affairs? After the success of Jana Andolan II, many new parties were formed. Why didn’t Nepali women band together to form a party which looked after their interests? I cannot speak for the rest of the world, but in Nepal, I believe women are often their own enemies. I speak from my experience. Is your experience any different?

Banda....Only Alternative?

Feb 1, 2010
Is banda the only alternative? The question sometimes strikes my mind. On Jan 10, we had the banda. Banda probably was for the good cause. Considering the negative aspect of federalism, it was called for. And the demand of the party cannot be taken in negative way because an election for or against federalism should be conducted if Nepal possess the word ‘democratic’ within it. Federalism must have been thought in Nepal seeing the development of US into states. But USA has done it to unify the states into a single country. If it is being thought see other nations like that of India, the area must be carefully analyzed. Moreover ‘divide and rule’ policy may remove the sense of unity. If division would have brought development, Nepal has already been developed into five development regions plus the fourteen zones. And even development regions could be converted into states. When the country gets divided on the basis of caste, it’s much more obvious for the ill practice of discrimination to occur.
From the economical point of view, federalism would be highly beneficial for the state-leaders because they can corrupt more in number when they possess the financial power. I personally am against federalism. So I’ d like to say the banda was for the good cause. But the query is, is banda only way to protest? I never support Banda, but what other way should be implemented to get the attention of concerned authorities?
