How is it that films can be so simple yet so powerful? Few words exchanged and everything’s alright as if by magic. Maybe that’s why they are called heroes who can fix things with ease, make tough decisions, and somehow, everything turns out okay in the end. But real life? It’s far more complicated. There’s no perfectly scripted dialogue to smooth things over, and problems often linger far longer than a two-hour runtime. We don’t…

Festivals hold a special place in our hearts and traditions. They are not just times to celebrate, but also remind us of our community and identity. We are part of our festivals, and they are a part of our lives. Each festival has a deeper meaning beyond the rituals, food, and gatherings. At the core of many of these celebrations is a powerful, universal lesson: Good will always overcome Evil. This message is a key…

Geotechnical investigations are among the most challenging aspects of hydropower development in Nepal due to not only the country’s complex geology and outdated technology, but also difficulty in accessing those remote sites. The difficulties in reaching these locations often feel like adventure sports. In this instance, we crossed the flooded Solu River using a rope and pulley system—a blunt reminder of the extreme conditions that investigation teams usually face. This improvisation underscores the resilience, adaptation…

Sometimes the extraordinary events happen that define our life and death. We were cruising along the highway when, out of nowhere, our driver lost control of the vehicle. It skidded off the road and crashed into a nearby drainage canal. In that split second, everything went blank. One of our team members was seriously injured, but thankfully, we all survived. This experience made us reflect on the fragility of life and the fine line between…

As I journeyed through the countryside, I found myself counting trees and noting every milestone we passed. The sunset at the horizon was breathtaking, the sight of cattle returning home in large groups was heartwarming, and the vast expanse of water at the Koshi Barrage was simply stunning. —- Despite being a good sleeper, I haven’t managed to catch a wink today. It seems this has been the longest trip I’ve ever taken. According to…

I have no sympathy for Moyes- he was paid multi millions of pounds to do a job he didn’t earn. He is just incapable to bring real success at this level. Fergie didn’t take over champions, he took over a club in dire situation, with a non-existent youth academy, unprofessional players and a culture of failure. He turned that around, and obviously it took him some time. Just because the fans that asked for him…

Kathmandu has been masked in a persistent haze lately. Clear days are rare, and even the early mornings are marked by low visibility. This could be due to the seasonal changes or the alarming levels of pollution we are experiencing. However, today is different. After an overnight thunderstorm, the sky is remarkably clear, and the sunshine is bright and unfiltered. The storm seems to have swept away the usual haze, giving us a rare glimpse…

The Dipankha Yatra is a grand religious festival, considered one of Nepal’s most important examples of religious tolerance, deeply rooted in the traditions of the historic and ancient city of Lalitpur. Held in Nagbahal, this festival is a source of pride for the devoted followers of the Nepal Mandala, embodying the religious, social, and cultural heritage of the country. According to religious scriptures, particularly the Vrishavadan, the Bodhisattva Shakyamuni Buddha once took the form of…

A fine day in Bhaktapur was a symphony of sights and sounds. The sun painted the ancient city in hues of gold, casting long shadows across the intricate woodcarvings and terracotta tiles. The air was filled with the gentle murmur of prayers from the temples and the distant tinkling of bells. As I wandered through the narrow, cobbled streets, I was transported back in time, surrounded by a timeless beauty that seemed untouched by the…
