Many Nepalese haven't been able to make a great impression in the world , one of the very few who has done that is Kul Chandra Gautam.. a distinguist  international civil cervant who was a former assistant secretary-general of the United Nations, Deputy Executive director of UNICEF.. he's the first nepali to ever hold such a big post on international level!!
Kul Chandra Gautam was born at Gulmi district of western nepal. There wasn't any school, helth post at that time, so he'd to be condemd in learnin sanskrit from his neighbour but later on he attended Janata Vidyalaya school in Tansen, Palpa but attended SLC from kathmandu where he was top among his schoolmates.
After this, he went to tri-chandra college where he attended his IA and got visa to study at darthmouth college in USA where he majored in international relations... he was a dean's list student and graduated cum laude....Then he went to worldfamous  Woodrow wilson school of international and public affairs at princeton university where he completed his MPA..

Kul chandra gautam was the first ever UNICEF representative in HAITI and also he became chief for latin america and carriben @UNICEF headquarters in New YORK, which was quite an unusual challenge for a south asian guy.. he has held record for being youngest UNICEF country representative in Laos..

 Kul Chandra Gautam has certainly made his country proud by accomplishing great success at international level.. he's truly a pride for this nation......

"Lumbini Year 2012"

 well, it's a good thing dat 2012 has been declared the Visit Lumbini Year focusing Lumbini, the birthplace of Lord Gautam Buddha, even though at a time when no expected tourists were attracted in Nepal in the Tourism Year- 2011.

The Visit Lumbini Year -2012 that is with both opportunity and challenges to attract internal and external tourists. Also, one of the prominent reasons will be to make Lumbini an "international Buddhist center". But however,there are many challenges ahead as compared to the enthusiasm to declare the Visit Lumbini Year.

The Lumbini Development Trust has made preparations to decorate Lumbini, make welcome gates in roads and highways, and organize various programmes all the year round. The Trust has planned to spend at least Rs. 100 million for making the Lumbini visit year successful.  The Trust is to fill water in the pond and central canal, clean up and to run boats in it, and works are intensified for the same.Messages for visiting Lumbini has also been advertised in foreign media channels to publicize through organizations in countries like China, South Korea, Japan, Thailand and USA.

Trust Member Secretary claims that it will be possible to bring one million tourists to Lumbini as there has been extensive publicity of Lumbini in the international level.The forthcoming visit of Ban Ki-moon to Lumbini will also be instrumental in increasing the attraction of the tourists to Lumbini, he said. RSS

"It is positive that at least our leaders have started to understand importance of tourism in Nepal. Making them participate in such projects, will definitely make them more responsible. In fact, tourism in Nepal is spontaneous so far relying on bare nature providing adventure. Political interferences and development focusing on garnering vote have jeopardize tourism in previous years. However this is positive as they are participating in such promotion activities."                -ITOURNEPAL

But inspte of this, will this be enough to face challanges with India who is speeding up in developing Bodh Gaya( place where Buddha attended his knowledge) as global Buddhist destination or developing Nalanda University as an world buddhist university similarly like Nepal's Lumbini bouddha university....... 

The challanges are still tough but all we can hope is for better development of Lumbini and of course "HAPPY LLUMBINI YEAR 2012"!!!!!!! 

Who is Prachanda???

For instance.. nobody would have ever thought that a normal Bsc. Agriculture degree holder, who was employed in rural development project, would turn out to be probably one of the greatest change-maker in Nepalese history... even daring to overthrow the 240 yr old SHAH dynasty..... Prachanda, even though is facing his own internal party problems at present{not being too much concentrated by media as always he was in past}, but is still known to world as what   Anirban Roy, an ex-Nepal correspondent of Hindustan Times describes HIM as "Prachanda: Ek Agyat Bidhrohi".. but the real deal is... Should Prachanda be treated as Hero or as a Villian?????
 For many people, it is common that a man who has killed more than 13000 nepalese in insurgency period to rise above power, why should he be treated like a hero?? should he be known as an assasinator then?
But, for other people, it's ironical that  Prachanda is the true hero of this nation, who has given voice to millions of downtrodden people in one of the poorest nations of the world.. he's given people a new hope to live their live their way..
So, is he a hero or villian??

THE THEN NEEDS & DEMANDS:

when Prachanda was preparing for the armed rebellion, at that time, Nepal was just getting taste of multi-party democracy after the 3 decades of direct rule by the King. Despite this achievement, the democracy process was getting too slow. Records were constantly fluctuating, but when maoists had started their insurgency period, GDP of Nepla was around 6%, which was a very encouraging figure as schools, bridges, business, hospitals were expanding { जुन अंक त अहिले बल्बल त्यति  को हाराहारी मा पनि छैन ;)} the main reason why maoists declared the armed rebellation was that the government had just rejected their demands without even giving them any proper attention..

many of the people agrees to this fact that government's disapproval was one of the dominant reason which was enough to arise thought of rebelletion on Maoist that led to war..
 

The damage during these insurgency period was huge, as forecasted by the then finance minister, who had stated the the damage of infrastructure was around $246 million, around 10% of todays Nepal BUDGET  and around 15% of the then Nepal's budget....!!!!
Maoists depended on weapons to threaten government to look after their demands and fulfil it... They killed thousands of innocent people leaving an angry impression to the people in the nation and all around the world....Prachanda and his mates confessed that killings in war is common and they regret for what they have done.

But is this all????  

many ordinary people like Prachanda would have choosen far easy way i.e live their life as it goes... but Prachanda choose a far more difficult path..to pursue his convocation that " THE POWER DO COMES FROM GUN" Prachanda risked his life , Prachanda made Maoists the by far most strongest party in the nation...
Not only this, it was because of this insurgency period and because of maoists that The Naion finally got to see social-political change among them..... people started becoming aware of the ongoing politics which is a good sign of course.....
So at last, again arises a question, should Prachanda be considered as a hero or as a villian??????????

"yes we can"....... Obama's 2008 speech

January 8, 2008.

I want to congratulate Senator Clinton on a hard-fought victory here in New Hampshire.

A few weeks ago, no one imagined that we'd have accomplished what we did here tonight. For most of this campaign, we were far behind, and we always knew our climb would be steep.

But in record numbers, you came out and spoke up for change. And with your voices and your votes, you made it clear that at this moment - in this election - there is something happening in America.

There is something happening when men and women in Des Moines and Davenport; in Lebanon and Concord come out in the snows of January to wait in lines that stretch block after block because they believe in what this country can be.

There is something happening when Americans who are young in age and in spirit - who have never before participated in politics - turn out in numbers we've never seen because they know in their hearts that this time must be different.

There is something happening when people vote not just for the party they belong to but the hopes they hold in common - that whether we are rich or poor; black or white; Latino or Asian; whether we hail from Iowa or New Hampshire, Nevada or South Carolina, we are ready to take this country in a fundamentally new direction. That is what's happening in America right now. Change is what's happening in America.

You can be the new majority who can lead this nation out of a long political darkness - Democrats, Independents and Republicans who are tired of the division and distraction that has clouded Washington; who know that we can disagree without being disagreeable; who understand that if we mobilize our voices to challenge the money and influence that's stood in our way and challenge ourselves to reach for something better, there's no problem we can't solve - no destiny we cannot fulfill.

Our new American majority can end the outrage of unaffordable, unavailable health care in our time. We can bring doctors and patients; workers and businesses, Democrats and Republicans together; and we can tell the drug and insurance industry that while they'll get a seat at the table, they don't get to buy every chair. Not this time. Not now.

Our new majority can end the tax breaks for corporations that ship our jobs overseas and put a middle-class tax cut into the pockets of the working Americans who deserve it.

We can stop sending our children to schools with corridors of shame and start putting them on a pathway to success. We can stop talking about how great teachers are and start rewarding them for their greatness. We can do this with our new majority.

We can harness the ingenuity of farmers and scientists; citizens and entrepreneurs to free this nation from the tyranny of oil and save our planet from a point of no return.

And when I am President, we will end this war in Iraq and bring our troops home; we will finish the job against al Qaeda in Afghanistan; we will care for our veterans; we will restore our moral standing in the world; and we will never use 9/11 as a way to scare up votes, because it is not a tactic to win an election, it is a challenge that should unite America and the world against the common threats of the twenty-first century: terrorism and nuclear weapons; climate change and poverty; genocide and disease.

All of the candidates in this race share these goals. All have good ideas. And all are patriots who serve this country honorably.

But the reason our campaign has always been different is because it's not just about what I will do as President, it's also about what you, the people who love this country, can do to change it.

That's why tonight belongs to you. It belongs to the organizers and the volunteers and the staff who believed in our improbable journey and rallied so many others to join.

We know the battle ahead will be long, but always remember that no matter what obstacles stand in our way, nothing can withstand the power of millions of voices calling for change.
We have been told we cannot do this by a chorus of cynics who will only grow louder and more dissonant in the weeks to come. We've been asked to pause for a reality check. We've been warned against offering the people of this nation false hope.

But in the unlikely story that is America, there has never been anything false about hope. For when we have faced down impossible odds; when we've been told that we're not ready, or that we shouldn't try, or that we can't, generations of Americans have responded with a simple creed that sums up the spirit of a people.


Yes we can.

It was a creed written into the founding documents that declared the destiny of a nation.

Yes we can.

It was whispered by slaves and abolitionists as they blazed a trail toward freedom through the darkest of nights.

Yes we can.

It was sung by immigrants as they struck out from distant shores and pioneers who pushed westward against an unforgiving wilderness.

Yes we can.

It was the call of workers who organized; women who reached for the ballot; a President who chose the moon as our new frontier; and a King who took us to the mountaintop and pointed the way to the Promised Land.

Yes we can to justice and equality. Yes we can to opportunity and prosperity. Yes we can heal this nation. Yes we can repair this world. Yes we can.

And so tomorrow, as we take this campaign South and West; as we learn that the struggles of the textile worker in Spartanburg are not so different than the plight of the dishwasher in Las Vegas; that the hopes of the little girl who goes to a crumbling school in Dillon are the same as the dreams of the boy who learns on the streets of LA; we will remember that there is something happening in America; that we are not as divided as our politics suggests; that we are one people; we are one nation; and together, we will begin the next great chapter in America's story with three words that will ring from coast to coast; from sea to shining sea - Yes. We. Can.
