Budha Subba Temple – Dharan, Bijayapur
Budha Subba Temple is one of the most popular destination of Dharan and Eastern Nepal. The religious place is the location of the tomb of the last Limbu King of Morang, Buddhi Karnaraya Khebang.

ring good luck to the devotee. In Limbu language, Subha or Hang means King.

An eternal flame in Dailekh – Shreesthan Jwala
This flame in Shreesthan, Dailekh is burning forever. The local people worship this place for the “devine power” that has caused the light to burn like this. Those who know a little science believe the flame is lighted by the natural gas that is accumulated in the area underneath.
The area needs a detailed geological investigation to identify the source of the energy and help it to develop commercially.

Social media is changing the society – Kanti Hospital is only an example

The group planned and went to the hospital to clean it up. This was not the first time they had done such praiseworthy work, but such a social movement is unprecedented and will redefine out future!
Baburam with Obama – a Nepali flag would have made it nicer
In the following photo, our Prime Minister Dr. Baburam Bhattarai and Hisila Yami are posing with the US President Barak Obama and Michelle Obama. The smile are great on all four faces but a bit odd are the flags – none of them has a Chandra and a Surya. The US flag represents Obama couple but there is no Nepali flag to represent the Bhattarai couple.
By the way the photo is taken, it is pretty clear that the photo is not a causal one and they meant it to be as official as they can.
The Americans would certainly not care to have an odd looking Nepali flag there but, the advisors of our PM should have pointed out the obvious – to have one of those flags to be a Nepali flag. I think, our PM should have asked to take the photo somewhere else if they were not willing to hoist our flag.
Some have even pointed out the fact that the tie on Baburam’s neck look a bit bigger than it should have and a saree would have looked better on Hisila. I don’t have such preference towards Daura Suruwal (and, I guess, it is no longer a National dress). But, the flag is a different case.
May the Corrupt Rot – in the t-shirt
The Commission for the Investigation of Abuse of Authority (CIAA) is actively involved in the Bhrastchari Lai Kira Paros (May the Corrupt Rot) movement. Participation of high profile people in the movement in July had sparked the participation and intensity of the movement.
Today, CIAA handed over the May the Corrupt Rot t-shirts to all the Nepal Government Secretaries. After wearing the t-shirt, they posed for a group photo.
The public post holder’s commitment against corruption is appreciable and we can hope some reduction in corruption in government offices. Photo credits – Min Ba

Street patrolling cows in Kathmandu Metropolitan City
It is strange, how come cows are roaming around in the roads of capital city. Due to traffic congestion, there are various restrictions for some vehicles in many roads (some vehicles that are restricted are – Chinese tractor, hand driven cargo carts, diesel auto-rickshaw, pedal driven rickshaw, big trucks, buses and so on).
But, cows are free to roam around without any restrictions.
Balkrishna Dahal took some photos to show some examples of how the cows roam around the city – unrestricted. There isn’t any statistics on how many accidents have occurred due to the presence of animal on the road. But, it should be something the authorities should be concerned about.
