The relationship between the Bollywood actors Saif Ali Khan and Kareena kapoor is told to be facing some serious problems these days. It was even rumored that, their four-year-old relationship might end, as a result.
But, 40-year-old Saif has come up with a rescue, by issuing a press statement, to tell that they are happy together:
I would like to reassure our fans and well-wishers that all is well with Kareena and I…we are working hard but we always make time for each other. All these rumours are disturbing and untrue…especially when families are brought into it in such bad taste. I wouldn’t like to say anymore except we are very happy together.
It is told, the rumor has "deeply disturbed both the couple and their respective families".
Junrey Balawing has been recognized as the world’s shortest person – replacing the previous shortest person, Khagendra Thapa Magar. Khagendra remained world’s shortest person for about 8 months until Junrey turned 18 to claim the title. 59.93 cm tall Junrey is 7 cm shorter than Khagendra.
The reel life chemistry of actor Nikhil Upreti and actress Sanchita Luitel was appreciated those days while they appeared together in screen. Rumors were everywhere about their love affair though it was not accepted by both. However truth can’t be hidden. After working some numbers of film they both get married. This time too they planned to hide their wedding like suspense that can be seen in the films. So they moved towards India and planned to be settled there.
One of the photographs, taken during the Vancouver’s hockey riots, showed a couple lying on the street, kissing, while the chaos erupts around them. Unconcerned about the angry crowd and riot police the couple were acting as if they were in the most romantic place in the world!
The photojournalist, Richard Lam, who took the photograph, was covering the riots, that erupted when the Vancouver Canucks lost 4-0 to the Boston Bruins in the Stanley Cup.
But, later the couple (Scott Jones and his girlfriend, Alex Thomas) told that, they were knocked down by the security personnels.
Theaters in Nepal are banned to have morning shows, starting before 11 AM. The Film Development Board‎ of Nepal (FDB) has decided to act as moral police to stop the college kids from bunking classes to go to the movie theaters.
But, are the movie theaters the only reason college kids bunk classes?
How about the restaurants? Public parks? or what about the shopping malls where kids can be seen in their uniforms.
A twitter user, @gogoze, posted the amazing photo below. The engineering principles and rules fail when people build structures like that seen in the photo below.
It is unthinkable, unbelievable to see cable supporting hanging poles in the air. This should be the perfect example of how engineers work in Nepal. Another photo (it should be pretty scary to look up like that):
Model/actress Namrata Shrestha wants to do some social activities on the occasion of her birthday. This is her 25th birthday. Actually, it was on Tuesday but she planned to celebrate it formally only on Wednesday.
"I will spend some time in an Aashram (holy shrine). Then, I will celebrate it with my friends in my own way", she said.
From the very early morning on Tuesday her friends and fans had sent her various birthday messages. "I guess, I received more than fifty messages ",she said. She also threw a small party on that day.
Now, she is going to celebrate it full-fledge on Wednesday, with her busy friends who could not make it on Tuesday.
Nepal Telecommunication Authority has implemented new guidelines which requires ID card to be presented to surf internet. The cybercafes in Nepal should start taking records of their customers within three months (before Dashain festival).
The record should include:
Identification card (Nepali), or Passport (foreigners)
Name address
Entry time
Duration of Internet surfing
The computer used
Let’s analyze why it won’t work:
1. Privacy – opens a black market to sell personal information
The cybercafe can sell such personal information to make easy cash.
2. Criminals don’t need to record everything
Suppose I am a cyber criminal. I will go to one of the cybercafe and make a deal, to pay Rs. 100 per hour (if regular price is Rs. 20 per hour) if they don’t record my personal information. The guy will make eno
ugh profit to bribe any police officer if they happen to find about the incident.
3. Software and logistics
I am sure the government will not provide the software and other logistics to record such details. The owner of cybercafe will need to invest extra in hardware and manpower. The extra cost doesn’t motivate the owners to keep the record. Most of them will try to fake the record.
The government doesn’t know how to deal with internet. They have failed to control VOIP and sex websites. This is another example of short-slightness of our government.
Yes, there are a lot of of other reasons the new regulation won’t work. Please comment what you think in the comment section. (Photos collected from various online sources)
Here are some of the posts I had written about Nepal Government’s previous unsuccessful attempts to block websites:
Bollywood Superstar Shahrukh Khan has said that, he had almost completed his biography. He said, the biography will be published after the final editing.

Nepali Khagendra Thapa Magar was the world’s shortest man till Saturday only. On Sunday, this tile was bestowed on Junrey Balawing from a poor family in the rural Philippines. Guinness World Records declared Balawing the world´s shortest man as he turned 18 and presented him a certificate at his birthday party in the rural town of Sindangan on Mindanao Island in the southern Philippines.
Balawing is more than 7cm shorter than the previous record holder, Khagendra Thapa Magar. Balawing is 59.93cm (23.6 inches) tall. Khagendra had held the record since last October.
Balawing stopped growing when he was two years old and doctors had not been able to say why he stopped growing, his father said.
Indian director Onir appeared happy during an interaction held in Gurukul, Kathmandu, after the special screening of his movie, I AM. A day earlier the movie was screened in Rastriya Naachghar.

In the movie, I AM, he has tried to portray bisexual behavior in people and how they the issue is ignored by the Indian society and the country’s constitution.
