It is certainly a good news for the well wishers of Namrata Shrestha. Namrata will forget all the bad publicity and start acting in an upcoming movie soon.
After the release of a scandalous video in September there had been various speculation about her film career. Many had forecasted the end of her film career. To prove them wrong she is coming back in a strong role of a drug addict based on the life of Ekata Mahat.
Ekata started taking drug at the age of 14. After two years of rehabilitation efforts she could finally fight the urge for the drug. Learning from her own life, she started organizing drug abusers and help them fight it. (more on her in Nepali at himalkhabar) Continue reading
Jharana Thapa (right), an actress and film producer, allegedly slapped actress Regina Upreti (below) after finding Regina with her husband, Sunil Kumar Thapa. Actors and actress fight in movies but it was a rare scene to see them fight in real lives. That might be the reason why the newspapers like Nagariknews are publishing the news with priority.
When Jharana’s husband didn’t return home till late she started looking for him. At about 2 am she saw her husband with Regina in front of their own Joom Restaurant in New Baneshowr. Police and some journalists arrived at the scene when the matter got worse. Filmykhaber.com writes that Jharana is living in her parental home after the incident.
The Indian Idol of Nepali origin, Prashant Tamang, is banking on his acting skills to succeed in a new arena by acting in a movie. Tamang will lead a movie based on the life of Gorkha Army in United Kingdom, Gorkah Paltan. The debut movie is being filmed in Palpa, Western Nepal under the direction of Narayan Rayamajhi. Apart from Prasant, Sonia KC, Ranjita Gurung, Sunil thapa, and Gopal Bhutani will be acting in the movie.
It was a surprising twist to the sex scandal, but, it sure was a happy end!
The 15 minutes marriage ceremony should have broken the record of being shortest Nepali celebrity marriage ceremony (a public one, of course).
Pooja told the reporters that they were planning a huge ceremony but had to do it in a hurry. … we can understand that … don’t you?
Yes, the groom was Shishir Sangtang, a DJ in one of the Kathmandu FMs.
It was Pooja’s second marriage. Her first marriage with Biraj Lopchan, with whom she had a son, ended in 7 month. After the unsuccessful marriage, she was deeply in love with Dinesh DC and tried to commit suicide when Dinesh refused to marry her.
She sure needs all the best wishes she can get. Let’s wish her a long, happy and prosperous married life and see some photos of her marriage.
It was on Thursday (October 29) the sex video of Pooja was released to the public and on Sunday, two days later, she is getting married to her boyfriend, Shishir Sangtang “Prasanâ€Â, whom she had been dating for the past six months.
The reason? It sure is obvious. But, Nagariknews (in Nepali) wanted to be sure and asked about the sudden decision. Looks like her script writer is preparing the proper script… and hence she told that she will tell the reason at the wedding place at Bhadrakali Mandir, Kathmandu. You have to wait for some time to know the “official reason†of sudden marriage. Continue reading
SAD news – Shree Krishna Shrestha died on August 9, 2014 in Apolo Hospital, Delhi, India because of pneumonia. Shree’s last movie ‘Kohinoor’ was released a day before on August 8. He had a long affair with the actress Sweta Khadka and got married a month before the death. Shree and Sweta were told to be in a honeymoon tour to India where he died.
Shree debuted in Nepali film industry in ‘Bhumari’ in 2045 BS as a short role as a college boy. He was a friend of the lead actor in ‘Kasam’, a villain in ‘Pukar’ before debuting in lead role. In 2049 he worked in lead role in Chhabi Raj Ojha production movie ‘Nata’.
Sri Krishna Shrestha has established himself as a successful actor with more than 100 movies as an actor. In recent years when acting offers were reduced, Sri Krishna decided to test his hand on producing movies.
His first home production movie ‘Kaha Bhetiyala’ (2009) proved to be successful and helped him to establish himself as a successful producer.
In is career, Sri Krishna has given many hit movies like Afanta, Afno Manchhe, Eh Mero Hajur, Hami Tin Bhai etc. Most of his movies are directed by a successful director Shiva Regmi. The only movies directed by Shiva Regmi without Shri Krishna were Manish, Upahar and Ek Phera Hansi Deuna.

The 16 year-old, Kusal KC, who made headline last week by constructing a solar car, all by himself, is being congratulated and is provided with an insurance by General Insurance Co. Ltd. Nepal.
In Nepal, a 16 year old kid is not authorized to get a driving license. One has to be at least 18 years old to drive a vehicle. I don’t know what the Rs. 600,000 car insurance and Rs. 200,000 accident insurance means to Kushal when he can’t drive (source – nayapatrika).
It is good to know that talent is being appreciated by people. He collected Rs. 15,000 during the car show last week. The District Development Committee has decided to give Rs. 50,000 to Kusal. All these helps will go to pay the loan he took while constructing the car. I hope more organizations and individuals will come forward to help and encourage the whizz kid.

In a latest news, it is told that another Nepali actress, Pooja Lama, has become victim of a sex scandal. Lama, a Nepali model, singer, and actress is considered one of the boldest model. In the video, Pooja can be clearly seen as her partner is films it. Pooja is well aware of the recording and looks like the video recording is done in mutual agreement.
I haven’t seen the video and don’t know much about it. Those who have seen it have told that the video is filmed in a room with Pooja’s photo on the background. The couple is talking in English (as in Namrata’s video). The video is very short (only 1:23 minutes in length) as compared to about half an hour video of Namrata Shrestha. It is to be seen if more of her videos in the series will be released in the future.
Pooja is wearing a white dress and a dog can also be seen in the video. The the door is left wide open during the act in her room. Although Pooja can be easily be recognized in the video, face of her partner is not shown.
In this flu season, apart from the regular cold, we have to deal with the deadly H1N1 (swine flu). Everybody is talking about the danger but how many of us can difference between a regular flu and H1N1?
Here is a simple comparison between the common cold and H1N1 Flu:
Symptom
Cold
H1N1 Flu
Fever
Fever is rare with a cold.
Fever is usually present with the flu in up to 80% of all flu cases. A temperature of 100°F or higher for 3 to 4 days is associated with the H1N1 flu.
Coughing
A hacking, productive (mucus- producing) cough is often present with a cold.
A non-productive (non-mucus producing) cough is usually present with the H1N1 flu (sometimes referred to as dry cough).
Aches
Slight body aches and pains can be part of a cold.
Severe aches and pains are common with the H1N1 flu.

With skyrocketing gas price, global warming, pollution; solar is the best alternative to fuel the future vehicles.
A 16-year-old, 10 grader, with no formal trainings, surprised everybody in Baglung, Western Nepal, with the successful trial run of a self-made solar vehicle, “Kushal Solar Carâ€Â.
Kushal KC of Amrit Adarsha Higher Secondary School built a 3 seat solar car in 42 days. The car has six 20-watt panels in the front, rear and roof of the vehicle to power it while driving. In the absence of sunlight, 20 batteries (18 Amp) power the vehicle. The vehicle can run at a maximum speed of up to 60kmph.
Bhabindra Kunwar, a graduate student in Physics in Nepal, claimed that the good old Archimedes’ principle, that almost all kids learn at school, is not true.
Any object, wholly or partially immersed in a fluid, is buoyed up by a force equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object. (Archimedes’ principle)
Kunwar’s test however show that the weight of the displaced liquid can be more or less or equal to the immersed object. For example, a paper glass with 100 gram water can easily be buoyed by another glass containing 25 gram water. The displaced water in this case would be less than 25 gram to uplift 100 gram object.
Whenever somebody claims that they have discovered something – the first question that comes in my mind is – how could the simple fact be overlooked for such a long time.
I am still with Archimedes but would be the happiest person if Kunwar could prove his inventions in the international arena. All the best Bhabindra! (Read more in Nepali nayapatrika (the article is no longer available)
UPDATE: In 2017, this guy is still making news in media. Although nobody in scientific community acknowledge the existence of Bhabindra Kunwar, he somehow convinces the news media to talk about him.
Working in the field of Physics for about a decade, claiming all sort of discoveries and questioning many well established theories, claiming to have published big books – and still being a nobody is really exceptional!!
Go on Bhabendra — may be some day you get lucky and actually invent something! I truly believe you can do that!
A news clip from Gorkhapatra:
There is a Twitter profile by the name Bhabindra Kunwar with the bio like:
I’m an author: like literature, physics, math, philosophy & music. 7+books, 15+ papers, 4+invention & have given dozens+ speeches as a main speaker in Physics.
But, there is no website or link to any of his books or the papers.

There has been a great discussion and a long series of disagreement on the categorization of ‘dari’. But recently national dari conference October 2009 held on Kathmandu has come across an agreement according to which dari is categorized on the basis of it’s allocation, the way it looks and the personality, attitude and behavior that it reflects. Finally, we have four types of dari which are explained below:
Imandari (à ¤‡à ¤®à ¤¾à ¤¨à ¥Âà ¤¦à ¤¾à ¤°à ¥€): Imandari, located just above the upper lips and below the nose   represent an honesty of a man.
Hawadari (à ¤¹à ¤µà ¤²à ¤¦à ¤¾à ¤°à ¥€): Hawadari, located just below the lower lips represent a sense of humor in a person.
Bokedari (à ¤¬à ¥‹à ¤•à ¥‡à ¤¦à ¤¾à ¤°à ¥€): Bokedari, located just beneath the hawadari represent the sexual attitude of a man.
Dikdari (à ¤¦à ¤¿à ¤•à ¥Âà ¤¦à ¤¾à ¤°à ¥€): Dikdari, located on either side of the cheeks represent boredom of a person.
Hence, this classification of dari has helped us to identify our character and can be probably used for better modification and understanding of our life. Continue reading
