Nepal created a History

Nepal created a history by winning the ACC-U19 Elite Cup title for the fouth time. For this Nepal defeated Afganistan, who has not lost any of its game in the match, by 48 runs in the final match. To defeat the Afganistan, Nepali bowlers played a key role, but batsman too proved their defiant character.

Winning the toss, Nepal chose to bat first; but their decision was proved wrong when Afganistani bowler took key five Nepali wickets with just 60 runs in the score board. But the Nepali players showed their defiance towards Afganistan bowlers and put a total of 171 runs with two balls to spare of fifty overs.

In reply, Nepali bowlers performed well and limited the Afganistan innings in 124 runs all out.
With this win Nepal now plays the runners-up of European region for a spot in the Youth World Cup. Apart from Nepal; Malaysia as the hosts of the World Cup 2008, automatically qualifies for the event.

Will There Be Constitution Assembly Election

Only 98 days are left for CA election, and still the people of Nepal are not convinced that the government of Nepal could hold the CA election on time. The ministers who are representing different major parties of Nepal are saying publicly that they will hold election on time and with maximum safety measures, but the members of their parties are also not sure of it. They are certain that if the present crisis that are going on in Terai is not resolved in time, CA election is not possilbe. And if CA election is not possible then Nepal is certain to face lot of crises both internally and externally. To give the Nepalese what they want and to establish a New Nepal, it is of utmost necessare that the election be on time. Otherwise, no one know what will happen. Regarding CA election in Nepal different people and countries have different views. What do you think of it? Will CA election be hold on time?

Shooting Stars

Last night I planned to stay till late night, so that I can watch the shooting star. I thought that will be my first day ever to see lots of shooting stars. The event of occuring shooting star was beign broadcasted by different news channel.

The time of it to occur was after 11 pm (nepali time). It was raining, and the sky was not clear, but I had hope that after eleven the sky will be clear and I will be able to view that scene. But after ten the rain started pouring down heavily. I waited till midnight but the sky was all cloudy and rain was pouring dogs and cats. With heavy heart for not able to see the shooting stars I went to my bed.

This morning 13th August, I tuned the news channel and tried to view the report of shooting stars hoping that they might have got the picture of it. But they were not broadcasting it. I then hurried to check the net and found that bbc has shown the picture of shooting stars. I felt glad looking that picture and blamed my bad luck for not getting to view it in real.

The Fame of Indian Idol

The third Indian Idol broadcasted by Sony TV of India has gained a lot of popularity since its two earlier indian idols. It has mostly affected the south asian who are the the customer of indian television and who spends hours watching indian soaps and other programs. Here I am talking about Nepal and nepalese.


Earlier the indian television has just affected the house wives, who love to see all those family serials, but since the sony tv has aired indian idol it has attracted lots of younger generation too. In earlier Indian idols, they were not much attracted but in this third Indian idol they are supporting a single person i.e Prashant Tamang. Why are they supporting him? Because he is of Nepali origin and the youngsters due to patriotism they are giving a back hand on him. Not only because he is Nepali, but also he sings pretty well and the judges of Indian Idol has also frequently praised him of his singing talent.


Being a Nepali too I am supporting him and request everyone to support him to win the Indian Idol title. Who are you supporting?

Maoist plenum may decide to quit govt before CA polls

Majority of the participants of the ongoing Maoist plenum have said the party should step out of the coalition cabinet as soon as possible and go for a street movement.

Commenting on party chairman Prachanda’s proposal presented for discussion in the plenum being held at the Balaju Industrial Estate said the eight-party government had failed to achieve desired political goals and that the CPN (Maoist) had no purpose continuing with the government, sources said.

Prachanda’s dossier proposes that the party quit the interim government before constituent assembly polls if the government fails to work on three major areas: disclosure of whereabouts of disappeared citizens, radical land reform and action against the suppressors of Janandolan-II. The Maoist leaders today engaged in intensive debate in 40 different groups. With nearly 2000 central leaders, Members of the Parliament and district leaders, the plenum is the biggest congregation of the Maoist party organised in recent times.

The 5th plenum that kicked off on Friday will announce the party’s future strategies. The plenum being held amidst tight security by the People’s Liberation Army is expected to run for another three days.
