The beauty contest of the married women, Mrs. Nepal 2011 was held in the Army Club Kathmandu on Saturday, May 21, 2011. In the event, Rojina Gurung was awarded the crown of Mrs. Nepal 2011.
A total of 22 married women
in the age range of 18 to 40 years, from all over Nepal, had participated in the eve nt was organized by E-planet.
Miss Nepal 2005, sugarika KC was the trainer and choreographer of the participant who took the regular trainings and grooming class from from 26 April.
A group named #OpEverest, claiming to be a part of an international hacker network Anonymous, had recently attacked official website of Nepal Government, nepalgov.gov.np. One of the next targets of the group is the site of Nepali Congress – nepalicongress.org.
Usually DDos attacks last for hours (not days or months or years!). I wonder what the effect will be to the website that has been flagged by Google for about 6 months (may be longer) and the owner doesn’t even notice? Here is a screenshot posted in xNepali forum on December of 2010 (The site should have been like that for much longer).
For comparison, I have taken the screenshot now, the site hasn’t changed and the owner Nepali Congress doesn’t care either.
My suggestion to Anonymous or #OpEverest: these sites don’t compare with Amazon or Visa or MasterCard sites. You should better save your energy to be used for something worthwhile. p>
The talk that Manisha Koirala‘s marriage getting into trouble and being in the verge of falling apart is a bit off the reality. It seems the couple haven’t given the hope yet. In the past, there was trouble in marriage and now Manisha has decided to give it another chance.

This music festival was told to be grand in the history of Nepali music by the organizers.
First, there weren’t many listeners. The area looked empty during the concert. The singers were also disappointed by the small number of people in the audience. Apart from less ticket sales, one another reason for the small crowd size is the relative size of Tundikhel area. I think, it is a huge area, only suitable for political meets where people can come and ‘have fun’ for free.
Participants from seven different countries were present in the competition held in Overtoom 141, 1054 HG, Amsterdam.
A hero in movies, Bhuwan KC, was beaten in Koteshowr intersection in Kathmandu by the husband of his new girlfriend, Sharmila Dangol.
After the divorce with his wife Shusmita, actor Bhuwan KC used to be seen with a married woman named Sharmila Dangol. Bhuwan used to introduce Sharmila as his girlfriend and he even told that they were going to marry soon.
In a report, the husband of Sharmila Dangol pulled Bhuwan KC out of his vehicle in Koteshowr Chowk and beat him. The incident occurred at about mid-day on Saturday, May 14. The husband accused Bhuwan of stealing his wife for the money she has. At that time, Sharmila was driving and Bhuwan was sitting on the front seat. Sharmila’s husband who was driving a motorcycle reportedly beat Bhuwan KC with his helmet. It is told that he also beat Sharmila. When Bhuwan KC ran away on foot and police arrived at the scene, they took the couple to the traffic police office in Koteshowr.

Analysis of 18 years of data starting from FY 049/050 to FY 066/067, shows that traffic accidents in Nepal is in rising trend. This demands something concrete to be done to improve traffic safety in Nepal
The data shows an alarming reality of commuters in Nepal that not much is done in improving traffic safety over these years. Concerned authorities should do something to reduce these accidents.
It’s not only the total number of accidents, serious accidents and fatality resulting from such accidents is also in increasing trend.
There was a little bit of decrease in accidents during 2061-063. But, that too might be attributed to the banda and strikes done almost every now and then. (Data by SI-Dipendra Pradad Sah, Metropolitan Traffic Police, Nepal)
Starring – Sushil Chhetry, Bipana Thapa, Ganesh Upreti, Sushil Poudel, Samita Rai etc.

An American Jewish newspaper says that it doesn’t publish images of women in its newspaper. The Brooklyn weekly went as far as doctoring the photo that shows US President Barack Obama and his staff monitoring the raid by Navy SEALs that killed Osama bin Laden.
Two females in the photo – Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton and Counterterrorism Director Audrey Tomason were deleted from the photo before printing it.
The weekly, Di Tzeitung is published in Yiddish, and is sold at the newsstands in Brooklyn’s Williamsburg and Borough Park. The original photo of the situation room is
posted below:
The newspaper released a statement to apologize the mistake :
Our photo editor realizing the significance of this historic moment, published the picture, but in his haste, did not read the "fine print" that accompanied the picture, forbidding any changes and published a picture omitting the female participants in the room.
Our editorial policies are guided by a Rabbinical Board and because of laws of modesty, does not allow for the publishing of photos of women. The readership of the Tzeitung believe that women should be appreciated for who
they are and what they do, not for what they look like, and the Jewish laws of modesty are an expression of respect for women, not the opposite.The allegations by some, that Orthodox Judaism denigrates women or do not respect women in public office,is a malicious slander and libel. The Jewish religion does not allow for discrimination based or gender, race, etc.
The full statement can be read in the website of the newspaper – ditzeitung.com
