Nepali artist created longest painting in shortest time

With an aim to set a new world record for the longest illustration, a noted Nepali artist has created a 130-metre-long acrylic painting, taking less than 13 hours for the job.

Kiran Manandhar, 51, created the painting titled `Abako Nepal` or the `Nepal of today` on April 25, 2008 at the 190-year-old structure `Dharahara`, known as the tallest monument of Nepal.

Hundreds of art lovers witnessed the event as the artist painted his creation on a 130-metre-long and 72-inch-wide canvas that hung from the 62-metre-high `Dharahara`, amid rendition of poetry and music by artists of a cultural centre.

Kiran, who has received his Master of Painting degree from Benaras Hindu University in India, claims to have broken the record set by a Filippino artist, who had completed a 100-metre-long painting in a day.

According to Jibesh Rayamajhi of Gurukul, Manandhar’s painting was done from a height of 203 feet and was initially expected to be 100 meters long, but on completion the artist had painted nearly 123.5 meters on a 125-meter canvas.

Ever heard of girl emiting ‘glass pieces’ from forehead?

There was a news about a girl from western Nepal emitting “glass pieces” from forehead in Rising Nepal. But after that no news has appeared about the mysterious 12-year-old girl of Tikapur Municipality-9. Kantipur also covered the news and journalists in Nepal don’t care to follow-up their stories. I wish they could update the news.

It was told that Sarita’s parents had already spent over Rs. 300,000 for her treatment but to no avail. I don’t know if she was cured or is she still has the glass problem. Doctors thought the glass pieces come out of a bone. But they were not much sure on what was causing this strange thing.

The news was published on September 23, 2006 and it was told that she had started producing triangular glass pieces everyday since August 7 of that year. Sarita’s mother was quoted as saying her daughter emitted as much as 12 pieces in a single day. Here is a quote from the news: Read the rest of this entry »

You have to broadcast breaking news every hour to remain competitive. In the quest to be competitive some channels even broadcast “breaking news” about a dog of a police officer which was lost.

Then came another “breaking news” about the same dog being found! Read the rest of this entry »
