Constitution

Posted on September 17, 2011 by Anand Nepal

The Constitution of Nepal was supposed to be made a lot earlier. But, it had been postponed a number of times and there is still no hope for one in near future.

The country is so obsessed by the word Constitution (Sambidhan) that there are a lot of things are being named after it. Dipak Bhattarai found a couple of signboards in Chitawan with Sambidhan written in them.

An intersection is named "Sambidhan Chowk" that connects Cancer, Religion (Dharma Chowk), 2.4 Million (ChaubisKoti), and Narayanghadh.

Khagendra kissed Karishma Manandhar

Posted on September 10, 2011July 10, 2018 by Anand Nepal

When Khagendra Thapa Magar kissed Rekha Thapa in 2009, it was a huge news. This time he got an opportunity to kiss another hot actress (although, a bit older), Karishma Manandhar. But this didn’t make a big news, may be because Khagendra is no longer a world’s shortest person. Khagendra kissed Karishma in Malaysia during his attendence in Khagendra Utsav, a festival named after him.

Khagendra is such a cute little guy that everybody want to pick him up and take a photo. And it seems, he likes kissing every beautiful ladies he could get hold of.

Who says bikini is no dress? It seems, the organizers of beauty contests in Nepal think it’s not a dress – hence, there aren’t any bikini rounds. Although there weren’t any bikini rounds in the beauty contest of Nepali beauties in the USA, the best dressed beauty was wearing one.

The judges found the bikini clad beauty Ruby Adhikari the best dressed beauty in the Miss Nepal USA 2011 beauty contest. Sujita Basnet was crowned the Miss Nepal USA 2011.

The handwritten message:

Creative Advertisement – the most unprofessional but the most effective ad.

Posted on August 20, 2011 by Anand Nepal

An advertisement in a local restaurant somewhere in Kathmandu is creative enough to address the timing and promotion of a product.

Yes, the handwritten advertisement doesn’t feature the beautiful handwriting. It is the most unprofessional advertisement you can find in the current time. The message is not a literary work. The sentence in itself isn’t correct.

But, the message is loud and clear!

Everybody say you should eat Kheer (a sweet rice) in Shrawan month (one of the Nepali months). Have you eaten it?

22 Dhara-sculptures in Balaju Park, Kathmandu

Posted on July 6, 2011 by Anand Nepal

When I was a little, we used to go to Balaju Water Garde park to bath. The Balaju Water Garden is known for its 22 stone waterspouts (hiti) carved in the shape of sea-dragons. The artistically designed traditional taps 22 Dhara (means 22 tap in Nepali) were fed by the Nagarjun Hill watershed, located in about five-kilometer northwest of Kathmandu City. But, due to urbanization and higher water demand in the valley, the taps are empty these days.

Now, these are only the beautiful sculptures – that are of no use.

The park also houses religious shrines, fishponds, and a replica of the statue of Budha
nilkantha. The swimming pool located inside the park is one of the few swimming public pools in Kathmandu.

Music of the movie was expected to be good and finally it has got very good response too as Sudarshan and Sugam’s first movie Mero Euta Saathi Chha.

What are footpath for? To park cars!

Posted on June 28, 2011January 31, 2013 by Anand Nepal

Don’t let the "Indian Terrain" fool you, it’s not India. It is the photo by the side of the road in capital while going from Kamaladi to Putalisadak.

If you think footpaths are for pedestrian, think again! Here is another example to prove the footpath are made wheelpath in Nepal. The white car is blissfully parked on the footpath!
