Give 'em their freedom back !!!!!!
The Supreme Court of Nepal has ordered the government not to handle the 23 Tibetan refugees to China. Nepal police had accused them of doing anti-China activities and was trying to hand them back to China. I reckon it was an illegal move by the government . Nepal is a member of United Nations. Point should be noted that -United Nations General Assembly had passed resolutions urging respect for the rights of Tibetans in 1959,1961 and 1965. The 1961 resolution asserts that "principle of self-determination of peoples and nations" applies to the Tibetan people. So, these people should have the right to choose their own independence and treated like refugees under UN laws. A The habeas corpus writ was filed by advocate Indra Prasad Aryal at the Supreme Court arguing that the Tibetan refugees were on their way to Dharmashala of India were detained illegally by Nepal police and had a possibility of being sent back to China. The SC’s ordered the Home Ministry to hand these refugees to the representative of United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees in Nepal. Lets hope this type of instances ,where the violation of rights of independence and liberty take place, don't repeat again. We all should praise the Supreme Court for this decision. ....xoxo...... |

नेपाली मुलका युवा इबेका ठूला विक्रेता
२०६८ - भद्र - २८
राजधानी समाचार
काठमाडौं, २८ भदौ
नेपालबाट गएका एक युवा बेलायतको अनलाइन अक्सन वेबसाइट इबेको सबैभन्दा ठूला बिक्रेता बनेका छन् ।
सन् २००२ को नोभेम्बरमा सुदीप गौतमका रूपमा बेलायत छिरेका र अहिले डारियो लोपेज बनेका उनले त्यहाँ मोबाइल फोनका पार्टपर्ुजाको कम्पनी खोलेका थिए । उनको कम्पनीले अहिले १३ जनालाई रोजगारी दिएको प्राप्त समाचारमा उल्लेख छ । यसको वाषिर्क कारोबार ३० लाख पाउन्डभन्दा बढी छ । लन्डनमा पहिलो पसल खोलेका लोपेजले आफ्ना पसलहरूको सञ्जाल विश्वभर विस्तार गर्ने उद्देश्य राखेका छन् । इबेका एक प्रवक्ताले उनी सो साइटका सबैभन्दा ठूला व्यक्तिगत बिक्रेता बनेको पुष्टि गरे । चेन स्टोरहरूको चर्को प्रतिस्पर्धाबीच उनले यस्तो सफलता हासिल गरेको पनि उनले बताए ।
गुल्मीको अमरपुर गाविसबाट बेलायत छिरेका लोपेजले १३ वर्षो उमेरमै व्यवसाय थालेको बताइएको छ । उनी बाबु भेट्न आमासँगै बेलायत गएका थिए । त्यहाँ पुगेको दर्ुइ वर्षछि उनले सो वेबसाइटमार्फ पहिलो बिक्री गरेका थिए ।
लन्डन म्याजिक स्टोर भनिने उनको अनलाइन सपले मोबाइल फोनका नयाँनयाँ पार्टपर्ुजामा विशेषज्ञता हासिल गरेको बताइन्छ । सो पसलले पाँच वर्षन्दा कम समयमा ६ लाखभन्दा बढी बिक्री गरेको बेलायती समाचार संस्था बीबीसीले जनाएको छ ।
'मैले केही कुराको लागि पैसा चाहियो भनेर आमालाई ढाँटेर वेबसाइट रजिस्टर गर्न उहाँको क्रेडिट कार्ड प्रयोग गरें,' उनले बीबीसीसँग भनेका छन्, 'यदि मैले उहाँलाई वेबसाइट दर्ता गर्न १० पाउन्ड चाहियो भनेको भए उहाँले मलाई कार्ड प्रयोग गर्नै दिनुहुन्थेन । जसले मलाई सन् २००४ मा सिम कार्ड बिक्री सुरु गर्न सक्ने बनायो ।'
सन् २००४ मा सो पसलमा सिमकार्डको मूल्य १० पाउन्ड पर्दा उनले त्यसका लागि ५० पीमा सिमकार्ड दिन सक्ने आपर्ूर्तिकर्ता भेट्टाउन सकिन्छ भन्ने सोचे । अहिले उनी एक दिनमा २ हजारभन्दा बढी आइटम इबेमा बिक्री गर्छन् र उनको लन्डन म्याजिक स्टोरबाट त्योभन्दा बढी बिक्री हुन्छ ।
सिमकार्ड बेच्दै जाँदा कन्जुमर इलेक्ट्रोनिक्समा आफ्नो रुचि बढ्दै गएको पनि उनले बताए । इबेको नम्बर एक बिक्रेता हुन पाउँदा आफू खुसी लागेको उनको प्रतिक्रिया थियो । विगत वर्षरूमा उनी दोस्रो र तेस्रो नम्बरमा परेका थिए ।
आफूहरूले सोधखोज र गुनासोको जवाफ फर्काउने काममा कठोर परिश्रम गरेर यो सफलता हासिल गरेको उनको भनाइ छ । सन् २००९ मा कम्पनीले तीव्र गतिको विस्तार हासिल गरेका बेला उनी घर जान नभ्याएर कार्यालयमै सुत्ने गरेको बताउँछन् ।
'म बिहानतिर एक घन्टा मात्रै सुत्न जान्थें र ६ बजेबाट फेरि काम गर्न थाल्थें,' उनले भने । नेपालमा यस्तो व्यवसाय सुरु गर्न नसक्ने उनले बताए । 'व्यवसाय सुरु गर्न ठूलो पैसा चाहिन्छ । हुलाक प्रणाली विश्वसनीय छैन र धेरै नेपालीले कम्प्युटर चलाउँदैनन् । यसका अतिरिक्त सुदूरपर्ूवबाट आयात गर्नु कठिन हुन्छ । त्यहाँ बेलायतको जस्तो सजिलो छैन,' उनले भने । दर्ीघकालमा भने नेपालमा पनि यस्तै व्यवसायमा लगानी गर्ने र सोसियल नेटवर्किङ सञ्जाल सुरु गर्ने योजना रहेको उनले बताए । 'तर, फेसबुक र टि्वटरभन्दा फरक,' लोपेजले भने ।

From the diary of a friend ...( By Bepin Shrestha)
My Life before and after the brain injury
It’s really hard to explain what I have been through in my life after my brain injury. There are number of things that have changed which I could realize. The anxiety has level has definitely increased in my personality making me agitated and angry for simple things increasing my blood pressure. Whenever someone scolds I can’t control my temper and reply straight back at them. I am not so confident about myself which previously I was which definitely has hampered my career and not taking so serious about my studies which was my prime importance for my personal long term growth. I have lost a lot of friends and find myself very lonely across the borders.
I even broke up with my long term relationship with my girlfriend and really don’t know what did I say to her causing a big problem. I thought to myself and try to positive at whatever happened but even then there is a greater impact on my life and my career. My priorities in my life has definitely changed and trying to be satisfy myself with at least a degree coming all the way long from my home. I have thought my completing my masters however hard it was in accounting and apply for residency. But coming to this point of life my career and destinations in life has changed and don’t really know what my future would be. Human beings live in the society where there is lots of cooperation and help between people and friends. I miss all the support that I would have got with my life on hold with that incident. It’s really hard thing for me to relax these days but don’t know why. If I consider my sleep it seems all good but even then I get tired quickly without any work. In addition to this I sometimes do have palpitations of my heart beat without any reason of walking quickly or running. It’s quite astonishing.
I really have mixed emotions as whether I could be able to do whatever I have planned in my life. It’s definitely affected my short term memory followed by stress. I am not able to focus and concentrate on things which are very important thing while studying. I do realize I have become too emotional and things making so upset. I do feel I have wasted a precious part of life for no reasons. Apart from that I have trouble with giving my time to the lawyers and processing things which is a tedious process where I should not be involved so and just think about my studies. But I had to be involved as things are not in my favour and I should be able to speak for myself as human rights.
I would not be able to change the things in the past but definitely be able to work on my future and my brain injury is not letting me do that physically creating more fatigue and mentally change in my thinking pattern more towards negative rather than being positive side of my life. I sometimes think why I have become so impatient and rushing too much when things could be carried on so easily. I really don’t know the reason behind it. I may look good physically well sound enough but really don’t know what goes on with my brain creating problems to myself.
Things have changed a lot with me my career, personality and my well being. I hope it would go well with psychological counselling but everything will definitely take me a lot of time as usual. My background as I am coming from a third world country where medical research is a long way to go to even when I go back might have some complication on psychological part of my life creating problems. I definitely have made my life boring living to myself. I presently having problem with constipation and it’s been a long time. I recently notice dark circles in spite of not much of sleep disturbances. I am beginning to doubt on things becoming so sceptical with the things that I do or must be lack of confidence in myself. I find myself keep on talking with people even if the people get bored of my talking which might be relevant or irrelevant to others. I really don’t know much about how to avoid talking too much which might get me into trouble some way.
Apart from this I sometimes I don’t really remember what I was doing I would be doing something and in between if I leave what I was doing I would be forgetting what I had to continue doing the first thing that I was doing due to short term memory loss which makes me frustrated and leaves the things undone. I really have to remember every appointment that I was supposed to meet somebody again and again and had troubles not keeping with the appointment which are really important ones and on which I would have 24 hours notice to cancel the appointment. I really think I am making things more complicated which aren’t good for me.
These are several major things which have really changed and which would definitely have an effect on my life.
