Bachelors First Tour - Pokhara Bandipur

This was our first informal gathering. How would we know each other without going for a tour, or getting out? So, these my classmates made a plan to visit Bandipur! That was not a bad idea anyway, and I was with them itself.

Negative Vibes

I know this is something bad, but maybe again I regard it something natural and normal thing – Negative Vibes.

There are times, when negative vibes surround me, and I feel myself valueless creature in the world. I feel feeling of being lonely, and again I regard myself as burden.

Need of Green Banking

The attack of human beings on nature is the cause of environmental deterioration. This deterioration is leading to global warming and climate change. It has been noticed that the temperature has risen up by 1 degree

Creation of Brand

Branding has become increasingly important for positioning any product in the market. For example, Surf Excel, predominantly a Pakistani detergent brand commenced in 1948, later entered India in 1959, as the first detergent powder.

First Things First

Place big stones in an empty pickle jar. Fill up the jar so that there is no room to put in more stones. Now insert pebbles in the jar so that the spaces between the big stones no longer exist. The jar is not yet filled. Now, put sand in the jar so that it is completely full.
Finally, pour water into the jar. Could you have put in the big stones if you had put sand in the jar before? Or if you had put in the pebbles earlier?

Pouring some thoughts

Life does not move as per one’s expectation, and you will never know where you are and where you will be. Today, it has been four months, and few more days that I have left from Nepal.

Enemy

Enemy

Note that ‘enemy’ does not limit up to a person. It can be anything, that has been creating hindrance in your life. Your laziness could be your enemy, your ego, your pride.

Nabin K. Bhattarai: Removes Cap and also Acts!

Nabin K Bhattarai has been classic singer, and all time listening singer of lot of us. These two songs are equally good too. And, I found it interesting because, in one video he removes his cap, and in the other we get to see Nabin K Bhattarai acting of his own.

Featured Post

I am just very new to bubblews. It is one different, but similar platform where you need to write in your thoughts in at least 400 characters. It is like posting your tweet in twitter, or posting status in facebook, it is kind of similar to them, but all the difference it has is, you have to make it 400 characters.

Better late than never

Whenever a festival season starts, there are many road accidents resulting in death and injury to travellers. So we have to hear sad news during every festival season. The higher the number of people’s movement, the higher the chances of accidents. This year was no exception.

Porter’s Five Forces of the Automobile Industry

The past five years were tumultuous for automobile manufacturers. Skyrocketing fuel prices and growing environmental concerns have shifted consumers' preferences away from fuel-guzzling pickup trucks to smaller, more fuel-efficient cars.

Stop Human Trafficking!

This was my assignment which I did on my course of Human Trafficking! Maybe it is wise to write it down that: Picture speaks more than words, but here there are words too!

Rameswaram Kanyakumari Kochi

 This year, we could not celebrate Dashain. This was first time that I was away from my home during this festival. I was about to miss everything, and it was not just me alone. So, six of us, we planned to go for South India Trip! And this is how we went...

Celebrating Uganda's Independence Day!

Uganda got independent from Britain on 9^th October 1962. I had no idea regarding this, however, today my Ugandan friends invited me to their program. They talked about their history and then talked about their independence. I had never been to any such Independence Program before. Couple of months back, I was attending Indian’ Independence Day, and today I was at Uganda’s.

No Holiday Home Work

Holidays are meant for fun, relaxation and enjoyment. It would be the  responsibility of schools to provide recreation to their students by taking them out on excursions for fun or arranging some programmes so that they can get some rest from their hectic routine.

Confusion and Dilemma

Which one do you think is important: Customer satisfaction or Maximizing Sales?

Customers view: Customers Satisfaction

Organizational View: Both

Sales Persons View: Maximize Sales

Manakamana Gorkha Travel

And all of sudden, I remembered this trip! Manakamana Hike!!

I was in BBA Ist semester then. Five of us, the hostel friends planned this trip! When I remember now, I don’t find it adventurous at all, but older memories are always great!

My Schedule

My load shedding separated Group is Number 3.
I need to wake up at 4 am on Sunday, because the power goes off at 5 and i have to check out the e-papers. After I return back from college, I need to cook my dinner and then I have to take a nap till it is 8.30 because power comes at that specific time.

Song Review: AXIS and Anil… They are back!!

I grew up listening Nepali Songs. I don’t know which grade I was, maybe I was in 1? When I used make joke singing Nepathaya’s Chekyo Chekyo, when anyone would come infront of Television. Nabin K. Bhattarai’s album Samjhana was the first album that I bought.

Pondy Travel

So, this was our first trip to Pondicherry.  One another state after Goa that has separate freedom!

Our trip was horrible one, adventurous one, unifying one, and funny one, boring one, and what not?

Hospitality makes the difference

Hospitality is an integral discipline to tourism. The tourism industry certainly cannot move ahead without hospitality, after all tourism is all concerned with new places and new people. Places hardly show disrespect to any people; it is the people who fail to respect each other.

Monsoon Mess in Kathmandu

You are walking on the street with your formal dress. You try escaping the puddle with the aim of not making your shoe dirty, and then all of sudden a car passes giving you a big SPLASH! You ignore your shoes because you see your pants dirty!

Song Review: Nepali #3 Songs, on my playlist !!

There was time, when I used to trust Kantipur FM’s Chartbuster for finding best latest Nepali Songs. Today I don’t have any reliable source to find out the best Nepali songs. I don’t trust any Media Channels today

My initiation for Entrepreneurship

If you want to earn a lot, there can be two ways. Either, take the illegal path, or be an entrepreneur!

Include Them

Disability is a long term physical or mental ‘impairment’ that substantially limits one or more life activity of a person. One billion persons with disabilities in the world face physical, social, economic and attitudinal barriers that exclude their participation as equal member of the society. The sad fact is people with disabilities are world’s poorest people. They lack equal access to basic resources such as education, employment, and healthcare along with social and legal support systems.

Let’s imagine a situation. In a policy-level meeting a man using wheelchair is invited in the name of inclusion. He may need to go to the toilet but the door is less than 30 inch wide. Due to it he could not answer the call of nature. Even if fortunately he gets in, the height of the urinal creates trouble for him. The only option for him would be to rush home ignoring the meeting’s agenda.

By creating this scenario, I’m trying to make people understand that we lack disable-friendly environment and infrastructure. The infrastructure is rarely built considering people with disabilities. How many disable students do we see in our class? Does this not indicate that disables are not excluded?
Disables have minimum access to a lot of things. A person using wheelchair can easily handle phone calls, perform computer operations but s/he is not given the job just because s/he is disabled. Before hiring an employee there is a trend of condescendingly enquiring, ‘Are you disabled?’ Employers never ask, ‘How can we support you on your job once you are employed?’ There are people with stumps who can type fast and write well with leg. Their abilities are, however, never considered. So far, Nepali society has failed to include people with disabilities in almost all social activities. For example, a person using a wheelchair won’t get access to Movie Theater and s/he won’t get to see live match in the stadium.


Famous disables like Stephen Hawking, Stevie Wonder or Frida Kahlo have shown their mettle to the world. Disabled friendly environment promotes them, supports them and motivates them to work their best. Basically, educational institution needs to be accessible for people with disabilities. Building ramps would be easy for people using wheelchair and plain roads would be easy for visually impaired person. Lack of these basic things proves the building disabled rather than a person. Accessible toilets and roads need to be built for disables.

Even developed countries have failed to include disables in a meaningful way. It is too ideal to expect the same in our context. It takes time to change. Things would fall into place for disables only when the “normal” people’s perception towards them changes. When everyone understands that ramps are not just for the person using wheelchair but even for able-bodied to carry suitcases, infrastructures would get modified. It is not just in hospital that we require ramps; we need them in shopping malls, educational institutes and every public place.

Modification takes time and budget but acceptance requires only vision. Only when employer visualizes the capability in a disabled employee, s/he will be accepted. There is no reason to reject visually impaired person for telephone handling task or a person using wheelchair for a receptionist. Employers should not get shocked seeing a disabled facing an interview.

At the individual level, use of correct language is best way to support disables. Always asking if they require help is best way to support them without being too officious. Let us invite disables to our work in our team and let them live with dignity. Let us include them!

Granny's Sweet

We made a plan

to steal the sweets she made

and stored in the box inside a room.

while she was sleeping in her bed.

We were anxious and afraid,

Mouth watering sweets on one side;

while there were scolding on other

from her  and we had to hide!

However, I went inside,

                                            while my brother stood to check at door.

                                            Soundless, I opened the box,

                                            Took out sweets, tasted, and held even more.

                                            He locked the door,

                                            and we ran up to the terrace.

                                           With oily hands, we ate gradually,

                                           laughing and looking each other's face.

                                            Maybe we stole a bit more,

                                            More enough even for next day.

                                            Now we had to store them safe,

                                            Packing them, we hid under the hay.

                                          When she woke up,

                                          She entered into the room.

                                          She stayed there pretty late,

                                          We felt sweats, though it was not noon.

                                         After while, she was out,

                                         we were peeping from the window lane.

                                         She looked worried,

                                         and we could feel the pain.

                                       We tried to get away from her,

                                       But had to face her when she made a call.

                                       It was to wash an apple anyway,

                                       We bowed down, and she was tall.

                                      We were back to normal then,

                                      She should have known we stole her sweets,

                                       because she again cooked it after a day,

                                      and we concluded: our granny is sweet!

TU's Improvement - A long run

If money is the only responsible factor for quality education; Nepalese can never afford the quality education.

Tribhuwan University schedules examination of Engineering on time, declares result on time; after all it costs more than Three hundred thousand for a single student to get into it

Get Inspired through Dipendra KC’s view!

If you are into the field of Youth Activism, as a part of your study, part of your interest, or any way, Dipendra KC has to be a heard name. After all, he is the President of Yuwa, co-founder of the platform with huge expectation Bichar Dabali, and he likes to call himself as IT enthusiast as well.
