Heading towards injustice

                                                                     

Dhruba

It is really frustrating to see many instances of Nepali psyche being marred by confusion and double standards. When the case, actors and beneficiaries change - people are found shifting side, from one to another – sides that stand on very different and contrasting principles and policies - knowingly or unknowingly. These days such psyche is rife equally within Nepal and abroad.

Example of double standards

This write-up intends to bring fore one striking case of such nature. Such psyche has come fore strikingly in the form of response by people of Nepali origin living in Hong Kong. They have announced publicly that they would oppose vehemently the appointment of Economic Consular of Nepal to Hong Kong because he belongs to none of the indigenous ethnic groups dominant there. The poor guy is Brahmin. The echo of announcement is: “Sorry guy, you unluckily could not enter into the womb of any woman from some ethnic groups – Rai, Gurung, Magar Limbu or others, so you cannot come and work in Hong Kong as the Economic Consular.” Further, they have warned that his arrival in Hong Kong would be greeted with black flag as the symbol of opposition. They would boycott him totally.

Excellent article on cancer. Pass it on.

AFTER YEARS OF TELLING PEOPLE CHEMOTHERAPY IS THE ONLY WAY TO TRY AND
ELIMINATE CANCER, JOHNS HOPKINS IS FINALLY STARTING TO TELL YOU THERE IS AN ALTERNATIVE WAY.

Cancer Update from Johns Hopkins:

1. Every person has cancer cells in the body. These cancer cells do not show up in the standard tests until they have multiplied to a few billion. When doctors tell cancer patients that there are no more cancer cells in their bodies after treatment, it just means the tests are unable to detect the cancer cells because they have not reached the detectable size.

2. Cancer cells occur between 6 to more than 10 times in a person's lifetime.

3. When the person's immune system is strong the cancer cells will be destroyed and prevented from multiplying and forming tumours.

अंगप्रदर्शन मेरो ब्रान्ड बनेछ

 

 

'लभ इन नेपालको अभिनयपछि बलिउडका धेरै फिल्मका लागि मलाई बोलाइयो । तर, सबै अंगप्रदर्शनकै भूमिकामा । अंगप्रदर्शन मेरो ब्रान्ड नै बनेछ । त्यसपछि मलाई बलिउडका फिल्म खेल्न मन लागेन ।'

नेपाली फिल्मकी सबैभन्दा 'ग्ल्यामरस' हिरोइन हुन् झरना बज्राचार्य । फिल्ममा उदार भएर अंगप्रदर्शन गरेरै उनी निकै चर्चामा आइन् । हामीसँग संवादका लागि तयार हुँदा भने म्युजिक भिडियो र पर्दामा देखिने उनका मादक आँखामा कुनै मादकता देखिएनन् । गाजलु उनका आँखा शान्त तलाउजस्ता थिए ।
