Is talent being ignored? – Prakash Poudel (Part 2)

Previous post – Prakash Poudel – Experimentation and Innovation in music

Last year, one of Prakash Poudel’s album named Jal Paari was ready to be released but, the decision was changed in the last minute. He released one of the music videos, the response of which was good. This was the first serious album Prakash prepared, in contrast to his other fun filled, comedy theme music albums. Later, the release was postponed because of the most common reasons in Nepal – piracy and load-shedding. Prakash also mentioned that he was not happy with music awards and Nepali media.

Prakash Paudel claims that the video of Jal Paari was the first to be shot under-water. During the shooting of this video, a normal camera was enclosed in an aquarium like encasing. The shooting was done in a swimming pool in Biratnagar. The lip singing part however couldn’t be done underwater, so was done behind an aquarium. The cameraman Rojesh Shakya had done an excellent job of shooting the first ever underwater video in Nepal.

Effort to dupe US Embassy

In yet another attempt to dupe US Embassy by presenting forging academic certificates and bank statements to acquire student visa, four persons have been arrested by police on Wednesday. The arrested persons include Om Prakash Chaudhary (33) of Saptari, Rosina Shrestha (20) of Dolakha, Kabindra Ghimire (23) of Kathmandu and Dil Bahadur Karki of Dolakha. The US embassy informed the police about these people.

The increasing incidents of forgery have alerted the US embassy to strictly verify the documents for the authenticity.

Inspector Shrestha has clarified that Chaudhary and other arrested persons are the brokers who help education consultancies bring ineligible students to apply for the visa to US. The sole purpose of such activity is nothing but making good money.

The names of the visa applicants, however, have not been revealed citing threat to their future career.

Nepali Movies – confusing names – is Nepali language poor?

Nepali TV viewers are often irritated and confused with the Nepali movie related program and advertisements. Every report of upcoming movies adds up a confusion due to the similarity in the name. I usually exclaimed -

What? Didn’t I see this movie last year?

But, the names are not always same, they are similar! It is not only the name that is similar; thanks to the limited supply of artists, they usually have the same actor and actresses. Many get confused and prefer not to visit theaters to watch "similar" movies.

Here are some of the confusing names I came across various newspapers in various themes:

Maya ke ho?

• Ke Yo Maya Ho?
• Ho Yahi Maya Ho
• Maya Ta Maya Ho

Maoist’s own party leader makes a mockery of Chairman Dahal

One of the Maoist party leaders indirectly made a mockery of Pushpa Kamal Dahal for claiming the prime ministerial candidacy. Maoist Standing Committee member Top Bahadur Rayamajhi mockingly said it up to seven-time-defeated Dahal whether or not to stand in the prime ministerial election.

Top Bahadur Rayamanjhi is close to Vice President Baburam Bhattarai. He added that the party has yet to decide the candidate for the prime minister’s post though the party has concluded that its leadership in the government will ease the peace and statue drafting process.

I like West! I like East!

We grew up with teachers who told that we used to have a secret formula to make devices that can fly in the sky – as described in Ved and in Ramayan, as a ‘Puspak Biman’. However, it was the Wrights Brothers who made the first real flying plane. They didn’t have the formula to work on and the flying machine was the product of their own imagination. So, the West rules here!

People in the Western world spend billions of dollars on fitness instruments yet, they are more obese than people in the eastern side of the world. Thanks to Yoga, even a penniless can do it with a little knowledge. East rules here!

Though Devi Prasad Regmi (55) of Sunsari currently is in the police custody, and the existing law has confirmed Regmi in custody for public offense, a number of people, who are fed up of the political instability in the country, have supported Regmi.

Thousands of comments on online news reports in support of Regmi, more than 5300 persons choose to ‘Like’ for the support link in face book, and people in USA campaign initiation to release Regmi on bail are just few examples of Regmi-turned-into-a-celebrity story in the nation. His well-wishers have termed him a ‘national hero’ and ‘celebrity’.

Nepalese all over the world have united to support Regmi. Funds from the countries like Qatar, Britain, Japan and Belgium have been raised to support and release Regmi on bail. A website under the domain of www.deviprasadregmi.info with an appeal to help Regmi, terming him a ‘representative of 30 million Nepalis’, has been hosted. It has collected more than Rs 14,000 from Regmi’s well-wishers across the globe.

Regmi is a poor farmer with a small house and a kathha of land in Bharoul. He was taken into custody by police after he slapped UML Chairman Jhala Nath Khanal at party’s program in Itahari.

Photos of Regmi being felicitated.
