Nepali Sites

juss bean bizy wid mai stoff latelee... (i love this kinda language!)

care for an all Nepali site? newsofnepal.com is the first site i can think of. it features all the latest updated news from Nepal maintained by Kamana Prakashan Samuha which also runs daily newspapers (nepal samacharpatra and mahanagar) & few other monthly magazines. the site requires Nepali font (which can be downloaded from the site itself) . the site has a very average layout (might be better in days to come)

ok, let's give a big round of applause for this next person by the name of pushkar shah, who's on a mission of world tour with a message of peace & hope for the country & the world since 1998. ironically, the country & the world has seen the worst days in history against peace. but let's keep the hope alive... the site lists his autobiography on visits to the various countries in the past few years. there's even this 'where's pushkar' section to follow him! Hats off to this guy.

bai da wey eye waz juss thinkin hau eat wood bee eaf aal da pipul wud bee goin on a wold tur juss laik dat! wow...

Nepali Foods & Drinks

Had a hard time sleeping due to the hangover. tried to search the net for some Nepali sites with advice on hangover cure....no luck this time. too bad for this festival times (indra jatra & dashains etc) may b i should try when i'm fresh. ok here's the all time fav. on the net. (i wonder how many of these ingredients are in the home right now). may b i should cut down drinking so much

Bloody Mary
- the classic hangover cure

one dash of lemon juice

celery salt

black pepper

tabasco

chilli pepper

worcestershire sauce

a stick of celery

6cl clear vodka

14cl tomato juice

and a nice hangover joke too!

Saying The Right Thing
A man wakes up at home with a huge hangover. He forces himself to open his eyes, and the first thing he sees is a couple of aspirins and a glass of water on the side table.
He sits down and sees his clothing in front of him, all clean and pressed. He looks around the room and sees that it is in perfect order, spotless, clean. So is the rest of the house. He takes the aspirins and notices a note on the table.
"Honey, breakfast is on the stove, I left early to go shopping. Love you!"
So he goes to the kitchen and sure enough there is a hot breakfast and the morning newspaper. His son is also at the table, eating. The man asks, "Son, what happened last night?"
His son says, "Well, you came home around 3 AM, drunk and delirious. Broke some furniture, puked in the hallway, and gave yourself a black eye when you stumbled into the door."
Confused, the man asks, "So, why is everything in order and so clean, and breakfast is on the table waiting for me?"
His son replies, "Oh, that! Mom dragged you to the bedroom, and when she tried to take your pants off, you said, "Lady leave me alone! I'm married!"

So nothing much for drinks in Nepal. i however came across this site for food in Nepal

Free Books!!!

Here're some funny definations from 'The Devil's Dictionary'
************************************************************************

CAT, n. A soft, indestructible automaton provided by nature to be
kicked when things go wrong in the domestic circle.

This is a dog,
This is a cat.
This is a frog,
This is a rat.
Run, dog, mew, cat.
Jump, frog, gnaw, rat.

Elevenson

************************************************************************

GREAT, adj.

"I'm great," the Lion said -- "I reign
The monarch of the wood and plain!"

The Elephant replied: "I'm great --
No quadruped can match my weight!"

"I'm great -- no animal has half
So long a neck!" said the Giraffe.

"I'm great," the Kangaroo said -- "see
My femoral muscularity!"

The 'Possum said: "I'm great -- behold,
My tail is lithe and bald and cold!"

An Oyster fried was understood
To say: "I'm great because I'm good!"

Each reckons greatness to consist
In that in which he heads the list,

And Vierick thinks he tops his class
Because he is the greatest ass.
