I was surprised when a Nepali newspapers published an iPhone apps review. It is not that they can’t do it. But, iPhone Apps doesn’t make sense to majority of the readers of the Nepali newspaper.
The reviewed App, costing $5 (it was marked $0.99, at the time of writing this article), can’t be purchased in Nepal as there is no International Credit Card facility in Nepal.
The V1.0 of the app was released on 26 July, 2009 and is rated 17+. That doesn’t qualify itself to be reviewed in a National newspaper in Nepal.
Many tech review sites had reviewed it long ago and told it to be “completely inaccurateâ€. The article in Nagariknews is fully biased towards the app and makes it feel like the app is the best prediction of your sexual drive.
It doesn’t make sense to review a year-old app. In a year’s time, there should have been more such applications released in iTunes which, the Nagariknews writer didn’t care to look for.

This year’s Mr and Miss Kathmandu is going to be held on August 25, 2010. There are 20 males who will be contesting for the title of Mr. Kathmandu and and 20 females contesting for the title of Miss Kathmandu.
I have questioned numerous times, why are Nepali people organizing beauty contest every now and then? Some even say that, the only thing Nepal is progressing is in ‘manufacturing’ beauties. When I looked at the procedure such contests are held, it looks like the most profitable and risk-free business that can be done in Nepal.
