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.

Among 34 beautiful young girls, Archana Panthi won the title of Miss Teen 2011 on 2nd September that was held at Nepal Academy Hall, Kamaladi.
This beauty pageant was presented by the Fashion Plus and the panel of judges were renowned actors Neer Shah, Rajesh Hamal, and beautician Kamala Shrestha.
Intially, Panthi, along with Rita Piya, Manisha Chhetri, Prakriti Tiwari, and Shweta Pokharel, made it to the top 5. Their answers to the question “Where do you see yourself standing, 10 years from now, in Nepal?†landed Panthi, Tiwari and Pokharel on a tie.
Hence, the judges put forward the final question in order to decide the winner: “Poet laureate Laxmi Prasad Devkota wrote the poem ‘K chha thulo jagatma pasina bibek, Udeshya k linu udi chhunu chandra ek. What did Devkota mean by the verse?’â€
The answer that led Panthi to the title is:
 “To be honest, I don’t really see myself in a position where I can define the great poet’s work. However, if I were to say, then the verse means that the goal we achieve without any hard work does not have any value. It’s like they say hard work bears sweet fruit. We must have dreams and aims but we should always try to attain them from our effort.â€

In the wake of two popular sweets manufacturers using sub-standard raw materials and neglecting the hygiene of the product they sold, it is the time to be more vigilant on the quality of food products being sold in the market.
Sweets are only a tip of the iceberg. Almost every product sold in Nepal are found to be adulterated in some form. Sand is mixed in rice, color in turmeric, cheap flour in expensive one, kerosene in petrol … and the list goes on. The issue of Real juice even involved the governments of India and
Nepal. These facts have proven that the government can do little in such matters. So, the consumers should unite to protest such practices and be more aware of their own health and safety.
Starring – Dilip Rayamajhi, Jharana Thapa, Dinesh DC, Sushil Chhetri, Sunil Thapa, Sushila Rayamajhi etc.
Direction – Yub Raj Lama
