Beer Beauties – Miss Newa Pokhara participants
Can beauty contest participants be allowed to be promote alcohol products like beer?
As far as I know, the beauty contest participants are as young as 16 year olds. When a 16 year old is given a t-shirt with beer advertisement, can’t she drink it?
Or, are Newari girls exempt from drinking beer underage? Following are the participants of Miss Newa Pokhara 2067, held in Pokhara on April 2, 2011.
Only in Nepal – newspaper neutrality and sustainability
As long as our newspapers depend on some political party (or, one leader in this case), the debate of neutrality, in itself, is flawed.
The journalists are more worried about loosing the job! (read the comment written by the journalist Arun Baral – click to enlarge)
It seems, it is a very tough choice between the sustainability and neutrality.
Does this prove newspapers (National Dailies) are compromising their neutrality to sustain?

Voip and Internet Banda – is it a new banda trend?
Let me first talk about call by-pass:
I have told before – call by-pass is not a problem at all. The government blocked some VOIP websites. But, it couldn’t do anything to Google when it introduced free call to US and Canada.
Now, why is the police against some ISPs accusing them of using their services to call by-pass?
If it is cheaper to call Nepal due to illegal call bypass, why is it bad?
Because it hurts the profit of large voice operators in Nepal and robs the government of resulting tax revenue.
If the large voice operators can’t keep up with the new technology – why should the government protect them?
The telecom operators should embrace internet and VOIP as new technology and find new revenue avenues in them instead of trying to stop them from coming in.
Next, why are ISPs punishing their own customers for government action?

86 years of smoking – a 106 year old army man
The guy you puffing a cigarette is told to be 106 year old and he says that he has been smoking since 86 years. There is no doubt, smoking kills. But, this pensioner of army for the last 60 years is surely an exception.
There was Winnie Langley who lit her cigarette from her 100th birthday candle and was an internet sensation, gave-up smoking at 102 and died within a year. She gave a false impression that, "quitting smoking is injuriou
s to health".
Well, smoking is injurious to health and nobody should start it!
Thank you Neel Khadka, the news editor of Sagarmatha Television, for allowing me to use the photo.
