Mountain Flight

Mountain Flight
The aircraft takes off and heads eastward and almost immediately the peaks come into view. The first peak that appears on your horizon is the majestic Gosaithan, also called Shisha Pangma, standing at a height of 8,013m. To its right appears Dorje Lhakpa (6,966m), looking like a massive figure of eight lying prone and covered in snow. To its right is Phurbi Chyachu, which looms over the Kathmandu valley.
As the plane glides along, you get closer to these giants. Next on your vision is Choba Bhamare, rather small in this company at 5,933m but singularly stubborn as it remains unconquered to this day. Then comes Mt. Gaurishanker (7,134m) which resisted all attempts to conquer its summit until 1979. This mountain stands out sharp and very conspicuous during the flight and Hindus believe that Lord Shiva (Shanker) and his consort Parvati protect this mountain.
As the flight moves toward the Eastern Himalayas, a succession of majestic mountains follows. Melungtse, with a plateau-like top stands at 7,023m. Chugimago, at 6,297m, still remains to be scaled. At 6,956m, Mt.Numbur resembles a breast, believed to be the maternal source in the sky providing pure milk to the Sherpas of the Solokhumbu. Then comes Karyolung, a gleaming-white mountain at 6,511m resplendent in the morning sun. Cho-Oyu is the sixth highest mountain in the world at 8,021m, and appears stunningly beautiful.
The last and most exciting stretch of the journey takes you close to Gyachungkang, which stands at 7,952m and considered an extremely tough climb. To its right is Pumori at 7,161m and Nuptse at 7,855m, also called west peak signifying its location in relation to Mt.Everest. Finally, there is Mt. Everest itself (8,848m), called Sagarmatha by the Nepalese and Chomolungma by the Tibetans. It's a different feeling as one comes face to face with the world's tallest mountain standing there in all its splendid glory, beautiful and enigmatic.

Football culture


Football culture
Football quickly became a passion for Brazilians, who often refer to their country as "o país do futebol" ("the country of football"). Over 10,000 Brazilians play professionally all over the world.Football has a major effect on Brazilian culture. It is the favorite pastime of youngsters playing football on streets. The World Cup draws Brazilians together, with people skipping work to view the national team play, or employers setting up apparatus for employees to watch. The general elections are usually held in the same year as the World Cup, and critics argue that political parties try to take advantage of the nationalistic surge created by football and bring it into politics. Former footballers are often elected to legislative positions.
One unique aspect of football in Brazil is the importance of the Brazilian state championships. For much of the early development of the game in Brazil, the nation's size and the lack of rapid transport made national competitions infeasible, so the competition centered on state tournaments and such inter-state competitions as the Torneio Rio-São Paulo. Even today, despite the existence of a national tournament, the state tournaments continue to be hotly contested and the intrastate rivalries remain intense.

NEPAL RELIGION

NEPAL RELIGION
Religious practices are an important part of the lives of the Nepalese people. Mythologies of various Hindu gods and goddesses abound in this country and cultural values are based on the philosophies of holy books like the Gita, Ramayana, etc.Women and children visit neighbourhood shrines at dawn to offer worship to the gods. Holding plates of rice, flowers, and vermilion powder, they perform puja by lighting incense, ringing the temple bell, and applying ' tika', a red paste, on their foreheads. Passers-by stop at temples and show their reverence to the gods by spending a few minutes praying. Occasionally, groups of' men sit near temples playing music and singing hyms until late night.In Nepal, Hinduism and Buddhism are the two main religions. The two have co-existed down the ages and many Hindu temples share the same complex as, Buddhist shrines. Hindu and Buddhist worshippers may regard the same god with different names while performing religious rites.Though Nepal is the only Hindu Kingdom in the world, many other religions like Islam, Christianity, and Bon are practiced here. Some of the earliest inhabitants like the Kirats practice their own kind of religion based on ancestor worship and the Tharus practice animism. Over the years, Hinduism and Buddhism have been influenced by these practices which have been modified to form a synthesis of newer beliefs.As a result, visitors to this country may often find the religious practices in Nepal difficult to follow and understand. But this does not prevent one from enjoying the -different traditional ceremonies and rituals of Nepalese culture. It is indeed a totally new experience of religious fervour.

Economic


Economic
Economics studies trade, production and consumption decisions, such as those that occur in a traditional marketplace.
Economics is the social science that studies the production, distribution, and consumption of goods and services. The term economics comes from the Ancient Greek οἰκονομία (oikonomia, "management of a household, administration") from οἶκος (oikos, "house") + νόμος (nomos, "custom" or "law"), hence "rules of the house(hold)".[1] Current economic models developed out of the broader field of political economy in the late 19th century, owing to a desire to use an empirical approach more akin to the physical sciences.[2]
A definition that captures much of modern economics is that of Lionel Robbins in a 1932 essay: "the science which studies human behaviour as a relationship between ends and scarce means which have alternative uses."[3] Scarcity means that available resources are insufficient to satisfy all wants and needs. Absent scarcity and alternative uses of available resources, there is no economic problem. The subject thus defined involves the study of choices as they are affected by incentives and resources.
Economics aims to explain how economies work and how economic agents interact. Economic analysis is applied throughout society, in business, finance and government, but also in crime,[4] education,[5] the family, health, law, politics, religion,[6] social institutions, war,[7] and science.[8] The expanding domain of economics in the social sciences has been described as economic imperialism.[9][10]
Common distinctions are drawn between various dimensions of economics: between positive economics (describing "what is") and normative economics (advocating "what ought to be") or between economic theory and applied economics or between mainstream economics (more "orthodox" dealing with the "rationality-individualism-equilibrium nexus") and heterodox economics (more "radical" dealing with the "institutions-history-social structure nexus"[11]). However the primary textbook distinction is between microeconomics ("small" economics), which examines the economic behavior of agents (including individuals and firms) and macroeconomics ("big" economics), addressing issues of unemployment, inflation, monetary and fiscal policy for an entire economy

parsa khadka named national

Paras Khadka named national captain
By Cricket.com.np November 11, 2009 2009, ACC Event, General, Senior, Twenty20, U A E
Cricket Association of Nepal (CAN) named Paras Khadka as the national captain for the ACC Twenty20 Elite Cup. All-rounder Paras, 23, will replace Binod Das to become eighth cricketer ever to lead the national team.
“We decided to change the leadership since it’s a new format of the game,” chief selector Arun Aryal said. “Since Nepal’s performance is not very good, we hope that new thoughts of new captain may change things.”
According to Aryal, Paras is a good all-rounder and that he would be able to assess all departments better.
Nepal will take on Malaysia on November 22 at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium – the first match under Paras’ leadership. Nepal’s performance in last ACC Twenty20 was forgettable and the UAE event in November will be test for Paras’ captaincy.
“For now, he is captain for the ACC Twenty20 event,” Aryal said.
CAN also announced the 14-member squad for the event. The team includes Binod, Parash Lohani – two former national captains along with two debutants – Binod Bhandari and Naresh Budayair.
Others in the team are Mehboob Alam, Sanjam Regmi, Paresh Lohani, Dipendra Chaudhary, Gyanendra Malla, Sarad Vesawkar, Shakti Gauchan, Basant Regmi, Amrit Bhattarai and Mahesh Chhetri.
Rahul Kumar BK, Ajay Rajbanshi and Chandar Sawad are named as alternatives.
The team will be managed by Naresh Kumar Shrestha while Roy Luke Dias will be the coach. Manjur Alam Khan has been named Dias’ deputy.
Paras had captained Nepali youth teams twice – U-17 in 2004 when Nepal played in the ACC U-17 in India and U-19 in 2007 when Nepal won the ACC U-19 Elite Cup in 2007 and finished plate runners-up in the Youth World Cup in Malaysia a year later.
Paras has played 30 international matches for senior team scoring 630 runs at an average of 30 and had taken 27 wickets at an average of 16.44.
Binod led Nepal for four years after taking over from Paresh in 2005. Although Nepal had been successful in winning three-day event – the ACC Premier League 2006 – it had a lackluster performance in other events.
Under Binod, Nepal failed to proceed beyond semifinals in the two international tournaments played last year. In the last year’s Division -5 tournament held in Jersey, Nepal was confined to the third place which shattered Nepal’s hope to play in the 2011 World Cup. Likewise, Nepal remained fourth in the ACC Trophy held in Malaysia where UAE had shattered Nepal’s dream to play Asia Cup.

Aamir Akhtar on Wed, 11th Nov 2009 5:00 pm
Why only captain?
Well the selectorshave decided to name a new captain coz this is under their easy control.
Why the CAN is not brave enough to change our national coach Roy Dias who has not been able to bring any high success for senior teams. Its always easy to play with players but not with management or coach.
If Nepal needs to perform to the top level then remember its always the team effort whether by players or by coaching management.
Roy Dias is not effective for T20 format as he is not an innovative coach anymore. The time has come for a coach change as well to uplift Nepali cricket.
Kushal Tuladhar on Wed, 11th Nov 2009 6:50 pm
Its the correct decision made by CAN. The change is for the better of Cricket and i feel we desperately need some change and this is a positive step.May we see some thing new now …Cheers and all the best wishes for him and NEPAL Cricket..
Kushal Tuladhar on Wed, 11th Nov 2009 6:56 pm
A change in the leadership has come and a new era might have begun but we need to work on more things such as infrastructure development and most important a fresh COACH. I guess Nepali Cricketers have learned much with ROY DIAS but its the time of change. We need newer things to support as i guess the present coach is an old machine we must look forward for a new an more effective one …. why not we get one from INDIA if we are concerned about our batting more….
Time to change for better …
Bardan Chalise on Wed, 11th Nov 2009 9:28 pm
Nothing is going to change until Nepal plays more domestic cricket.
Bardan Chalise on Wed, 11th Nov 2009 9:37 pm
I played for Nepal several years and still follow all the games which Nepal plays. I always wanted to see Nepal reaching to international cricket and tried my best. Cricketers need to play more domestic cricket. How many domestic games do our cricketers play in a year?? How many times do they travel around to play friendly matches?? Null. They do not do that at all.
We always lack in batting because our players are not exposed to different wicket and different bowlers. Nepal can be led by Paras, Binod, Paresh or anyone else, it does not matter. What matters is when we are going to reach the landmark on playing international cricket. We are just playing blaming games stating that the captain was not good or something else.
Youth cricketer always perform because player playing U-15 keep playing for several years to perform in U-19. When it comes to senior players, there is not much activity on games. It is my personal feeling. When i was playing U-19, i was in a close camp for about 6 months and my performance level went rocket high. Then joined the senior team and we did not even practice for about 3 months. My performance level dropped down right there. That is what has happened in the past.
Also, cricketer are leaving the country looking for better opportunities since cricketers are not getting paid anything. They need to get paid to play all the time so bring there performance level to 100%.
Aamir Akthar: Thank you so much for getting the new academy in Nepal. At least our players can keep playing there to keep there touch.
Kushal Tualdhar on Thu, 12th Nov 2009 12:40 pm
I totally agree with Bardan’s points. I also was a part of domestic circuit when i played for Morang and Purwanchal. We just had some days of practice before the big tournaments. The domestic games happens to be a tournament lasting no more than 10 days. Just 2 to 3 matches in the league and you are out for a long break again. The 2 day tournament which was introduced in Birgunj lasted for couple of matches and the format was totally wiped out.
We rarely get to see the next team for a year. Games happen once in a blue moon and when it starts it ends within a week. That’s where we are lagging behind.
Cricketers have been leaving Nepal for studies and overseas jobs. This is because we don’t have facilities, we don’t play too often, we don’t have any opportunity, No money factor, No job security…. Nothing..
sanjeev lama on Thu, 12th Nov 2009 5:19 pm
So finally, the national selectors have zeroed in on Paras Khadka and entrusted him the mantle of Senior Cricket Teams’ Captaincy. I reckon there was no better choice once Binod Das has had showed reluctance in continuing with the captaincy. Although it took some time to decide on captaincy matter, it is now settled for the better. Paras Khadka, a top flight performer and thorough professional in his job knows well how to rise to the occasion and lead from the front. Agreed, senior cricket team has not had achieved any worthwhile for quite a while, but it is not that the players have not given their best. There are many reasons which every cricket follower in Nepal is aware of. So I think; it is best to leave the past and look forward up to upcoming challenges. The players need to goad themselves up and prove to the world, they can give their best and achieve kudos setting aside any doubts. I agree we lack infrastructure, proper playing facilities, tournaments, etc. However, we have to assess our ground reality and try to squeeze out optimal opportunities from whatever facilities are available.Besides, it is heartening to see comments coming forth from cricketers like Bardan Chalise, Amir Akhtar and Kushal Tuladhar. Since they have played cricket in Nepal and deeply know the shortcomings of our Nepali cricket set-up, a time to time thought-provoking comments from such like-minded cricketers would play a catalyst role and compel responsible persons to act for the betterment of the game. Moreover, it would be nice if like-minded players provide suggestions and advices for the development of cricket in Nepal in a constructive manner.Nowadays, frustrations galore everywhere for lack of opportunities especially; those who really want to excel in any competitive domains. Having said this, I can just hope with the help and support of all cricket lovers’ constant prodding would awaken the deep slumbered KUMBAKARNAS to do overhauling for the overall development of cricket in Nepal.
This mantra for Paras Khadka and boys – Believe in your strength, enjoy your role, and play with heart, mind and soul. BEST OF LUCK FOR ENVIABLE SUCCESS….
Aamir Akhtar on Thu, 12th Nov 2009 11:59 pm
Thanks for the appreciation Bardan. Ironically not much people from Nepal and CAN sent me official appreciation yet but yes feels great to have it from you all the way from U.S.
Cheers and Keep in touch
Bardan Chalise on Fri, 13th Nov 2009 12:29 am
CAN –annual budget of Rs. 68,213,244; Rs 32,400,000 for infrastructure development, Rs. 19,683,190 for national leagues, sports equipment purchase and administrative costs, Rs. 16,130,054 will be spent for international participation and event hosting.CAN has requested for Rs. 15,112,500 for infrastructure development with ACC; Rs. 4,598,000 for the ICC World Cricket League Division 5 with Nepal Government and Rs. 3,300,000 for participation in SAG with National Sports Council
This is a matter of concern. Looks at the amounts and see the activities. Null.
infrastructure development: We have one cricket stadium and we know how is the wicket.Sports equipment: we have 2 old bowling machines. Player do not even get a full kit. Just a Kit bag.National League: One national league. CAN do not organize any other tournaments. And no one else is organizing any tournaments as well.International Participation: HAHHAAHHA. JOKE. Once in a blue moon.
I know the boys have potential but they need to see the security and money to get Nepal to ODI level. We need to see new faces. Good luck to Paras. He played under me in domestic cricket and i know guy is talented. But we saying that they will do good will not gonna make that happen. Its a regular practice that will give them more confidence and tours will give them exposures. We cannot blame Coach Roy since he is not the one who will make tournaments happen. Its CAN who need to Organize these games and facilitate cricketers.
Aamir: Of course i will appreciate you since you started a academy for the players to play in a regular basis which was suppose to do by CAN. Keep it up Aamir. I wish i can come back and support you in this. I will be back next year for a while and it will going to be a mess. I will definitely raise my voice. I had enough.
Mukesh Jha on Fri, 13th Nov 2009 1:50 am
I totally agree with Bardan that Nepal should organize more domestic level games which will help players to improve themselves and gives something to be involved, nothing can be better than playing cricket the full years for the cricket players. I think there must be some shorts of politics going around when selecting the players for the national level team. You can’t just pick someone because they might be your relatives. It has to be done performance wise.Play more cricket and be ready can be the only solution for Nepali team for now.KindlyMukesh Jha(USA)720-352-7716
Bardan Chalise on Fri, 13th Nov 2009 4:38 am
Mukesh,There is no politics on selecting the players. In fact, there is no players left. If there are no tournaments, you will never see new faces. We will have few games and based on that the players are selected. We need to see a yearly performance of players to get them in the National Squad. Lot of player have left the country such as Kanishka, Raj Kumar Pradhan, Bantu Bataju, Me myself and many more because there no games for us. If we want our country to do better, we need emerging player. Competition should be there. There is no one to replace Binod. He is one of our best seamer and if he is out sick, who will take his place. Who will open the bowling for Nepal.
Since Kanishka has left, Nepal has not been able to find a solid opener. Who know how many player are thinking of leaving the country right now looking for new opportunities. If Shakti gets a good offer to play in UK, he will say bye bye Nepal. I heard sometime back that Mehaboob is trying abroad. Paresh is looking forward to carry his studies abroad. I wish to see Nepal in International ODI but the way we are going, i cannot see this happening.
