HAPPY NEW YEAR 2066

I would like to xpress my best wishes of prosperity, good health and peace of mind on this holy occasion of Happy New Year 2066. Your problems be solved, your desires be fulfilled and your dreams come true while entering to new days of new year of 2066.


It is time to revise and see what we did last year. It is time to realise our mistakes of last year and correct them on time. It is time to enter in a new dawn forgetting some of our sorrows of past. It is time to strengthen the relationship between each person, community, society, countries and religions. We fought much more than we need. We blamed each other much more than we had to. We killed much more people than we thought that would bring peace in the society. We spread hatred everywhere in the name of religion, province, country and else. So it is time to stop all these.

Lets revise last year's hatred and correct them this year. I think tomorrow's world is more unsecured because of blindness of religion. Nobody please don't think your religion is better than others, you are superior than others and you are more important than everyone else. Evey religion in exists in earth have same faith of humanity. Only the selfish and extemist mean that in their own way and killing people on the name of terrorism and JEHAD. They are totalitarian. Both has to correct themselves. Now every country is suffering from internal and external conflict. It has to come to a halt.

Imagine how many lives we lost last year, how many are living wounded and disabled. Lets remember the days of Beijing Olympic. How nice was that time when almost every country participated in the games of Olympic. Isn't it nice to meet eachother in the time when everyone is against everybody. Sports brought us together for at least two and half weeks. Let us remember our good not bad. Lets increase brotherhood not hate. Lets save people not kill. Lets respect every religion and country instead of seeing it is danger for your existence. Don't think wiping out any country from the map. Your extremist thinking will kill many people but you will be killed too. Nobody is safe if everybody is not safe.

The world's most interesting animals

Leafy seadragon


Named after the dragons of Chinese mythology, Leafy seadragons (Phycodurus eques) resemble a piece of drifting seaweed as they float in the seaweed-filled water. The Leafy seadragon, with green, orange and gold hues along its body, is covered with leaf-like appendages, making it remarkably camouflaged. Only the fluttering of tiny fins or the moving of an independently swiveling eye, reveals its presence.

Like the seahorse, the male seadragon carries as many as 150-200 eggs. After being deposited by the female, the eggs are carried in the honeycomb-shaped area (known as the brood patch) under the male’s tail for approximately eight weeks. Seadragons have no teeth or stomach and feed exclusively on mysidopsis shrimp. Known as “Australian seahorses” in Australia, they are found in calm, cold water that is approximately 50-54° F (10-12° C). Leafy seadragons have been protected by the South Australian government since 1982.

Sun Bear


The Sun Bear (Helarctos malayanus) is a bear found primarily in the tropical rainforests of Southeast Asia.

The Sun Bear stands approximately 4 ft (1.2 m) in length, making it the smallest member in the bear family. It is often called the dog bear because of its small stature. It has a 2 in (5 cm) tail and on average weighs less than 145 lb (65 kg). Males tend to be slightly larger than females.

Unlike other bears, the Sun Bear’s fur is short and sleek. This adaptation is probably due to the lowland climates it inhabits. Dark black or brown-black fur covers its body, except on the chest where there is a pale orange-yellow marking in the shape of a horseshoe. Similar colored fur can be found around the muzzle and the eyes. This distinct marking gives the sun bear its name.

Prachanda VS Obama

We Nepali people have been listening "Change, revolution" like words for couple of decades pretty much all the time by all the leaders. Not only the maoists but by Madhesi Janadhikar Forum to Brutal criminal groups around the map of Nepal are using the word "Change" sometimes to attract people and sometimes to fulfill their ill-thinking. Every group that is created, every party that is formed is claiming they are for the people and for the society. Their violent and forceful activities are for short term to take out the people from the ditch of corruption, inequality, poverty and so on. Today going through American Presidential election to the inaguration programme of Barrack Obama, I am asking many questions to myself "What really change mean" ?
Breaking the long history of White presidency in this most powerful country in the world, Obama became 44th President of Unites States of America defeating John Mccain, an american Hero. What brought him here, how he get here is a long debate and a subject of study for researchers but one thing is clear that the word "change" meant a lot in the longest election campaign in the american history. Obama showed his qualitiy of intelligent, determination to solve the problems America facing on this time, his patience to react in every issues, his ability to address the people's expectation, keep up the American Dream in the time when people are suffering from falling American Economy. Even after the civil war that lasted from 1961 to 1965, 15th amendment in American Constitution in 1970 states that anyone cannot be prohibited to vote by gender, race, color, previous condition of servitude or because of failing pay any taxes, black people in America were not feeling that this is their country. They were still feeling that they are discriminated and left behind though the constitution termed every citizens as equal. With Obama's move to the white house, they have started feeling that "America Belongs To Them Too". Without any bloodbath, without any trouble to the people, with ballet and help of enthuisiastic people for change, Obama created history in United States by becoming 44th President.
It may be ridiculous to compare Nepalese and American politics but in this compact world many issues are same within these two countries. Barrack Obama elected as 44th president of USA with the slogan of "Change" and "Yes We Can" where Maoists in Nepal won many seats in Constitutional Assembly with the slogan of "Republic" and "New Nepal". Being people of most powerful country in the world, Americans were suffering from job loss, health problems, energy crisis and much more in Bush's administration. Bush was record low 22% in approval ratings in American presidents except Richar Nixon and Obama is taking his job with high 78% approval rating. Likewise though there is no rating system in Nepal, while Maoists came to power people's expectations and hopes were high and they were much more relaxed that the country would go in new direction solving severe problems the country is facing. As the Americans were tired of "Same old politics" working for rich, Nepalese people also tired of same old things happening after every movements or after every change in government. As the American hope that Obama would show his charisma to bring them together as United, nepalese people were spellbound by the word "Miracle" by Prachana or Puspa Kamal Dahal.
It is yet to see how Obama gonna change the american politics and keep up the American Dream, we have seen some signs in Prachanda's works. Obama never forgets to admit that this country was made by ancestors and wants to rebuild the nation with unity in the base of past while Prachanda never realizes the sacrifice made by our people in the past to handover the one nation even in bad condition. Good leader is that who makes the country thinking that he is there to change because nobody did. Bad leaders blame other people to make excuse that he cannot do anything because of his own weakness. Obama wants to fight with status quo and lead the nation but our prime minister says"If we fail because of status quo, our country will fail". While Prachanda came to power he was kind of strength and his voice was powerful but these days he seems like tired of all the consequences and the prachanda path followed by every group and parties all over the country.
Change doesn't mean change in uniform, change in the car you drive, change the room where you sleep or change the place where you work. Change means change the system, change the behavior, change the trend of things happening now. Obama ordered to shut down the Guantanamo Bay Prison as soon as he took oath of office. I am sure he is gonna change many things in Washington without blaming anybody and making every American United. But Prachanda showing that the change means change in uniform, change in his bedroom and change in his vehicles and no real change is in the scene of Nepali politics and old system. Our prime minister stated in his document presented in his party that Nepali congress is the main enemy of the nation and development. I think there is no enemy of New Nepal if you follow the path of co-existence and co-operation. In such situation, it is really impossible to work together. If everyone is not united and don't work together, "New Nepal will not only be a day dream but also will be a disaster to Nepal when new intra-party conflict begins". Lets hope our leaders will understand the importance of reconciliation in our country of multi-parties. With all weakness and mistakes, we still want Prachanda lead the nation because we don't see any other good alternative in horizon of Nepal's politics who can bring the country out of the ditch of violence and chaos.
