Damber Bahadur: Wow! It makes me cry to see the beauty and elegance of Swayambhu Nath Temple. It makes me proud to be a Nepali. Yes, our country is in a mess, but the cultural heritage and the beauty of Newari arts are something we all Nepali should be extremely proud of. Thank you all the people who contributed and participated on the restoration project of this beautiful land mark of Kathmandu.
REENA: All the peace of the country has been ruined by politics in Nepal…just get ride of the worse politics for country and please you all politicians try not to behave as animal try to be a person which really think for country and its people and not for own self..if you all did for country and its people you will definitely get whatever you want..please keep the reputation of the country ..and leave it as a peaceful country…i really beg for that and think for the development and new beginnings that really brings a best changes and happiness to the country and its people…
REENA: Nepal army would definitely get more sharped and brave as they are trained in shwayambhu AND give the full efforts for bringing peace and prosperity in a country. such a peaceful and NATURAL BEAUTY NEPAL…
Sameer Yonzan: These armed police might had come for drilling morning exercise, but they look frail and tired young man, I am optimistic that their food rations are being cut off by the bribed government officials. In the realistic issue, the true peace doesn’t come from the suppression by force, if the people can cultivate inner peace by studying and analyzing Buddha’s wisdom, APF and armed forces are not needed at all, they are just waste of everything. In fact they can be miss used to protect the crooked and cunning political leaders.
eva van dam: CONGRATULATIONS to Tarthang tulku and His daughter Tsering for the incredibly beautiful and meritorious work done together with the Newar craftspeople!
anuj: this reflects total disregard on the part of Armed Police Force (APF) towards peoples’ devotion like Pashupati Nath.. this is outrageous !!
Nirmal: The photo rather speaks of militarised environment than the daily physical exercise of these cops. But by allowing to use the public places for armed cops to get physical exercises in a place which is estolled for its ahimsa philosophy( it means that there is a lack of proper place for this purpose) aren’t we playing with the security of common folks and of these policemen ? Lethal arms without precise cautions between mass as If they are simple policeko danda…. When i see the physical identity of these policemen in newspapers and in other media, I wonder If it is not little bit perill for their own privacy and security. Not all nepali police personnels want to live and act as a police 24 hours, many have their own common lives as we do have in our off hours although...
Devendra Pant: Let there be peace in the land of The Buddha. When there is true peace, let people play ‘war games’, but let us not be deceived by the fake peace. We lived and experienced a lot in the last two decades. Systems come and go, so do parties and leaders. Some ideas last for a day, others live for seventy-five years, others for a two- and a half century, while others outlive centuries. In pursuit of ‘new ideas’ we have utterly failed to understand the simple– feeling the soul of the Nation. The Buddha delivered Enlightenment to the entire world. However, we as a Nation failed to understand the basic teachings of The Buddha- that every ’self’ is also constituted of the ‘not-self’. The fundamental inter-connectedness between...
neppalis: i like to see all the pure neplais will happyness and peacefull and also my best nepal go better soon as soon posible and don´t let to profect by other cuntrys and please attation by tibetains,forengs business,UN,chines,indias for don´t shod our heart that is my request for….. who try to be rich soon this mother fuckers my nepal our nepal save the Nattion, jai Nepaal
ram bashyal: We are Nepalis let us live like Nepalis. 82% Hindus .Let us live like Hindus.All theMuslim countries and the Christian contries have their state religion.Why not WE.
ram bashyal: Great success CONGRATULATIONS.Let us live as Hindus. 82% are Hindus.
nepali: I think we need a kingdom that means Monarchy in Nepal just like in Britan and Japan.Everyone knows that the Palace under Gayandra made mistake but looking at his past action makes me feel that he wanted to do something for the country but he did in a wrong way so today he is suffering.He took advice from the Old Guards of Panchayat era and he forgot that Nepal was already a democrat country and people had already tasted Democracy. Nepal needs a king to unite the country and for peace in the country.Nepal do not need a king to rule but we need a king to unite all the ra ce,religion and people and etc.We as Nepalese want to respect the king for his work towards the nation but not be forced to respect him just because he is a blue blood. At least when the king was still there...
Kunfan: Well they do look like they were hired and bussed into Kathmandu, just like the Maoists do for their show of strenght. But Kamal Thapa is saying publicly what we all (except the hardcore Maoists) say in private; that we need the monarchy back in some form. Gyanendra did screw us all quite badly, but that does not mean we should not give him one more chance, with a clear warning, that if he screws up again, we will personally chase him across the border..
Specialty Coffee Quaffer: The beans look like they could be specialty grade, and that is good news. I just find it strange that the article is finished with a picture of latte art, rather than one where you can look at the complexity of the crema
Anuj: Great pictures !! Keep up the good work.
Uday: Hi Narayan Prasad MD…..you are probably trying to indicate your level of education by adding the MD tag….unfortunately what you say is instead ridiculing it.
Uday: To RUPA JOSHI: Your referred link does not work. This is the message: The page you requested was not found. You may have clicked an expired link or mistyped the address.

rupa joshi: the fellow hugging prithibi narayan’s statue is our very own “nepal ko khalasi” (his own terms) laxman singh khadka… he’s the one who hangs banners commemorating all international days, has appropriate slogans painted on his kurta, and goes around unhindered painting statues around the valley.. currently he’s planting the nepali flags atop the shahid gate.. here’s a link to the face book about him! http://www.facebook.com/group. php?gid=67992248880&v=wall
Narayan prasad Bhusal MD: Yeah its been a incredible decade for Nepalese, we have change the course of the history by disposing the 240 year autocratic rule, heading forward to republic federalism, and new constitution. My greatest condolence to those known and unknown victim of this conflict. Definitely there are various incident of human right abuse, intimidation, rape and killing from both side but what is important now is to move forward to build prosperous Nepal, where we all Nepalese brother all can enjoy human right, democratic government, civil supremacy, and sens of security to us and our family. lets pray this coming decade will be decade of friendship, mutual respect and progressive. Happy New Year 2010 to all felow nepalese friends.
Kundale: The only changes in a whole decade was only on the politics of the country and all else seems to have reverted to the 18th century, law and order, social services, intellectualism, education etc have had a turn to the worse. Not a thing seems to be better than in the year 2000. So where is our hope and change?
