Don't write this in your CVI was going through the CV (curriculum vitae) for computer related works in the office. And to my surprise and horror, I find some applications which have no clue what they are applying for. When asked for experienced employees, I don't see why new comers would want to apply.

Thorn

ThornHave you ever thought it would hurt the thorn when you say that it is so rude? Just like when you are pricked by a thorn. You praise the rose that blooms momentarily - have you ever praised the thorn? The rose doesn't fight difficulties - just a little cold or a thunder and it gives up. Something it doesn't like and it falls apart. Ask the thorn of the pain during those moments - the heat,

Dashain GreetingsI remember the childhood days when the sky used to be colorful with the kites in Dashain. And the ground used be be full of people showing off their new dresses for Dashain. It is basically still the same, just that somehow this fifteen day long festival seems to be enjoyed lesser than it used to be. Whether it is the emptier looking sky or the busier lifestyles, I'm not sure,

2007-09-16T11:42:00.001+05:45

PRASHANT TAMANG - the next Nepali / Indian Idol?Well the name of the show is Indian Idol. But the final contestant Prashant Tamang is equally or more popular here in Nepal. Partly because he's from Darjeeling, which happened to be a part of Nepal once upon a time. But mostly because he is a Tamang, a simple guy with Nepali origin. Also it is probably because of his simple behavior that has been

Outside Kathmandu - NAGARKOTGetting stuck in the streets of city like Kathmandu can be boring at times. Taking a break & climbing up the hills of Nagarkot to watch the sunrise/sunset is one way to relive the life.

Googly!Almost everyone knows the popular search engine Google. But many don't know the little story behind how the name actually came up. Actually there is this mathematical number 'googol' which means a very big number 10100, that is digit 1 followed by 100 zeros. Just like thousand is a number with digit 1 followed by 3 zeros, that is 1000, the googol is a digit 1 followed by 100 zeros.

Into Thin AirIt seems like there is a frenzy of people queuing up to the summit of Everest. This season alone hundreds of people have ascended through the thin air of the summit. This includes many foreigners and many Nepalese as well.Now climbing Everest is not something that everyone would consider as their dream vacation. I would not even compare it as an adventure sport, although the huge

New Nepal. New Way maybe.Not much of a politician, but then we are talking about a new Nepal.One of the restraining factors in the development of a developing country like Nepal is the fact that the power has been centralized for centuries in the central regions; precisely speaking, the capital, Kathmandu. So the logical way out is to decentralize the power around the country. That's why all the

Love is not a new thing that you've just discovered, yet you can't feel less excited about it. And that's good too! Too bad its just meant for one day on the calendar. Love needs no boundaries.

Under the same sky...I was watching an old movie(2004) called Hotel Rwanda today. It is based on a true story about a person who saves the few hundred people he could shelter in his hotel at the time when almost a million people were killed within three months in Rwanda in the 90's due to a civil war. It was a shocking movie to say the least. In one of the scenes where the hero thinks that he's
