I told about the changes in Nepal in my last blog. The prime minister of Consitution Assembly has also been selected on 15 Aug,08. Mr. Pushpakamal Dahal “Prachanda” from Communist Party of Maoist. Still there is not a council of minister. They are working on it to make it inclusive of all party.

James, Sao, Paulo

Thanks for encouraging me. Now I have altogether 13 days in my hand to tell more about me and my country. I will try my best to provide with much information.

Beatriz,

I think you have seen and heard lot about Nepal from your boss. Yes, there has been many changes but the main thing what we Nepalese want is to live in Peace, prosperity and with dignity. We need at least wish from people of all over the world.

Kishor Jee,

Thank you very much for your encouragement and suggestions

I got an opportunity in 2007 to visit Bangkok. So I am happy to get comments from where I have been. I don’t want to forget few words like “Swadikhaa” “ Khapun Khaa”, “Next station Naanaa” and Soi sukumvit.

Ernesto,
Ya, we are really very very far in arithmetical distance, but in the era of globalization and information technology we are very near. You are right, high mountains, narrow streets, reed roofs are the assets of Kathmandu, Nepal now for the tourism.
Weather in Nepal varies from Place to place and it is very unpredictable even in a same place same season and same day. We have here very cold places and very hot places.


Martin,
My academic background is renewable energy engineering, but I have not become professional yet in this sector. I love to talk, to read about clean energy and climate change. Our world is already in vulnerable position. Lets put our hands together to fight for this pollution.

I didn’t feel boring at all while reading your comments. I understood what you wrote. BBC website for me also is a fantastic. With the help of which we from different country are talking to each other and sharing our life style and culture.

Hyoahil,
I miss my family a lot. These days we have access on telephone lines, we can talk. The price has also been decrease than what was before. Its around Npr. 5 per minute. I am here with my brother and sister in law , parents come to visit frequently. That’s how I am managing not to feel sad.


Christine,
I don’t know how much I can write to address your excitement but I will try. Now I am working in an International organization in an Aviation Section. Though my masters degree is in renewable energy engineer , with the help of training in airlines sector and background of mechanical engineering I am doing this. But my future plan is to work in clean energy and climate change. The last interview was also for a research officer for clean energy and climate change.





Djalma,

I am also a new student learning English. We will learn together as much as possible from this website. Thanks for you comments.


Danijel,

When I read the work Bosnia, Horjgovenia came together in my mind. I think Horjgovenia is your neighbouring country. Yesterday we have Gaijatra here in Kathmandu. This festival is in the name of person who died in one year period. It is particulary celebrated by Newari caste every year.

Gurupurnima is a special day to greet, to show our respect and to pay fee for the masters. It’s a Master’s Day. Guru means master and Purnima is foolmoon day. Now a day it is also called teacher’s day. Amy can tell us the difference between Guru and teacher. It’s a day in which a deciple can express his or her gratitude to the master by giving cards(though it’s a modern culture), fruits, sweets etc…. These days in school and college students organize a cultural programme with music and dances for their teachers to celebrate this day.

Cristina,
I agree with you, this is a wonderful website, but I am wondering whether I will be able to fully utilize this opportunity or not.

Mahjabeen,

Thanks for reminding me the song. I don’t like as Juhi in that film. I don’t like person like Saharukh in that film. He was so crazy after her. Ha ha…….But I like the Hero very much.

Rodrigo,

I am also thinking as you thought. I became so slow ans late than Amy. You told from heart. I should say sorry to Amy I am not following her properly.

Jorge,
Sure, we will learn from each other.

Redouane & Bruno

Amy is helping us to improve our English for this month. Lets follow her together.

Adriana,

Thank you very much for your comments.


Rianto, I tried to fulfil your wish little bit in my previous blog. I will wait for your comment.

Anayet
I was like you before,this time I am trying to put my effort in writing. There is a saying that practice makes a man (also woman) perfect. Though there is nothing called perfect, we can put our effort to better than before.

Leila, Guzin, concetaa

Thanks for the comment.


Habooba,
Nepali is the widest spoken language. Out of 199 I can understand only one i.e Nepali. I am learning Newari these days. Kathmandu is dominated by Newari people. They understand Nepali but like to speak in Newari.

In my first bolg I wrote a warm welcome, ya I fully agree with you, for the people from hot region it doesn’t make sense. A cool welcome would be very good. For those from cold region, it’s good.

Yeap,

Thanks you are giving company to me.

Babu,

I wan in Kerela in December. I lived in Champakulum. I will blog on kerala’s visit next time.

Trimie,
Till now I don’t have problem in mentioning my age. May be I will stop telling after two years. My home is not too far Trimie. Its only 12 hrs in Bus from here in Kathmandu. The problem is to get leave from office. What to do, loosing Job becomes another problem.

Vijay,

Our culture is similar in many aspects but we celebrate it differently.



Wanty,
I understood your comment. You can try to be a blogger. But make sure that you have enough time to write. It will be a nice experience.

Guilherme Felicitas,

Trang,Trang “ In the website you can go to “ Be our blogger”. There you can find the instructions . I think Amy is a right person to give suggestions on it.

Selchuk, Julio, Thao
I will keep trying to do as much as possible.

Denis,
Weather in Nepal varies from place to place. It has a very cold places and very hot places as well. Kathmandu is a cold place. In summer the weather in Kathmandu used to be good. But this year we felt hotter than the previous the previous. Experts of climate change are saying that it might be due to global warming. The temperature of Kathmandu goes sometimes below 1 degree centigrade in winter.
There are some places like Phulchoki and Daman where people go to enjoy snow fall. I haven’t been there. I am planning to go this year.

Maurico,

Thanks for your comments.

Kitty,

You are so young and you have baby, good to hear it. Here in Nepal, government has set a limitation on age for marriage. Male must be 22 and female must be 20 year old. Please take care of your health along with your baby.

Villavicencio,
Our common food is Rice, Lentil (used as soup) and curry. But in some places people eat flat bread made of flour corn/maize and also they cook as rice where there is scarcity of rice due to unfertile land and very limited source of water.


Hyoshil,
There is a team with 8 sportsman/sportswoman has gone to Olympic in Beijing. 3 of them are women. They are gone for shooting, swimming, weight lifting and running and for Judo Karate . Seven (7) of them were defeated. Now only one of them is left to participate. I wish him good luck.

Most common sports for women are volleyball, swimming, Judo karate (it can be a Nepali name), running. But Now a day they play every game, football, cricket, shooting etc.

Jeddy,
13 % of our total fuel consumption is petroleum fuels (LPG, Kerosene, Diesel, petrol). Share of electricity in total fuel consumption is only about 1.4% and 86 % share is of traditional fuel sources, only about 0.5 % is of clean energy.

Naweed,

Thanks for your comments.

Pilar,

Some of the differences between 1900 and 2008 A.D. in my view are as follows:

• People are more educated and conscious about their rights
• Urbanization of places are taking place rapidly
• Fuel consumption, waste and pollution level has gone up
• Transportation facility has been increased, before it used to take a month to arrive from my home town to Kathmandu now we can travel in 12 hours in Bus and in around 2 hours in airplane.
• Country has become a republican.
• Internet and telephone networks are available. So communication has become very easy.

Thao,

Nepal is not a Buddist country. We have verity of people from different religion. It belongs to people from every religion. Formerly it was called as only one Hindu nation. Now it in new constitution there is no more hindu nation. It has become now non-religious country.
I don't mind to go wether it is temple, monastry, church, or masjeed. I believe in only one god that is the universe.
