  • Nepal pulled a six-wicket victory over Thailand in the ACC U-19 Women’s Championship Cricket

    Cricket always had been one of the most favorite sports in our country Nepal. Nepal pulled a six-wicket victory over Thailand in the ACC U-19 Women’s Championship Cricket Tournament on Friday to complete title hat-trick at Hubara Ground, Kuwait. Nepal had earlier lifted the title in 2008 and 2010.

    Nepal is the only team to remain undefeated in all three editions of the tournament taking its winning streak to 19 matches in the ACC tournament.

    Winning the toss Nepal invited Thailand to bat first on Friday and restricted them in just 74 runs off 22.4 overs. Nepal crossed the target after the completion of the 21st over with the loss of four wickets.

    Player-of-the-match Nepali skipper Rubina Chhetri grabbed three wickets in her 4.4 overs conceding only seven runs. Sangeeta Gauchan grabbed two wickets in her five over spell conceding 16 runs.

    Thailand skipper Nattakan Chantam, who was dominating Nepali, was back to the pavilion in the 12th over in spinner Gauchan’s bowling. Chantam scored 22 runs and also shared a-24 runs partnership for the third wicket with Phira-on Khamla.

    Chasing the total of 75 runs, Nepal did not start well. Nepal lost its both openers — Anuradha Chaudhary and Droupati Kunwar — on ducks by the second over of the innings. Indu Barma and Kavita Gautam shared a-17 runs partnership for the third wicket. Gautam was out scoring three runs while Barma (6 runs) was caught behind in Phira-on Khamla bowling. Nepal had scored 19 runs in seven overs losing four wickets. (more…)

  • Thought of the month

    Sometime it’s really difficult to understand peoples mind and thinking. We go to different places meet different kinds of people. We can’t figure it out what they are up to, it’s quite complicated procedure. Sometime we may misjudge about them for e.g. they are just caring you as a friend but you may think they really take you as someone special in your life. Most of the people will just listen what they want to hear and make the illusionary world of their own. Some time we forget to read between lines. It’s our own confusion that leads to painful results. Some time some people can create the misunderstanding. Their facial expression, body language and their way of talking and caring may results in such misunderstanding. It’s our own responsibility to avoid such confusions, however it’s really difficult to judge people just by how they look, behave and sound. In my personal opinion, the best way to know people is to spend good quality of time instead of spending longer periods. Person’s feeling and their behavior can be somewhat known by looking into their eyes. It is said eyes are the mirror of the heart.
    I am not sure if this saying is really true, because in this era of 21st century people’s perspective have changed a lot. Some of them choose money, career over their love. However, the most important thing in this life is to express the feeling of love. Never stop loving each other, nature and every living creature as this beautiful world is creation of love. I have a heard a phrase as its better to be love and left than never be loved. This is the month of February, month of romance, expressions and love. It is said this is the best month of the year. Obviously, to express your feeling there is no boundary of time but this month is chosen by many to do so. Please express your feeling and shine your light upon someone you admire as time and tides waits for none. I would like to dedicate you all the beautiful song by Rihana: We found Love. Enjoy the romantic month of February.

The 2012 Berlin International Film Festival will be held from 9th Feb to 19th Feb, 2012 at Berlin, Germany.
    I am so happy to know that “Highway” Nepali movie is nominated under the panorama fictional films section in 62nd Berlin Festival. It’s a milestone to Nepali Film Industry. The story goes like this: a man from Kathmandu and his wife have been trying unsuccessfully to have a child. The man travels to the mountains of eastern Nepal to seek help from a miracle healer. The healer indeed has a magic potion for him but tells the man he must get back to his wife within thirty-six hours for the medicine to work. The bus that winds its way through the narrow streets, hills and valleys of Nepal is full of people who all need to be somewhere else in a hurry – to meet an internet chat lover, bring someone some money for medicine, or to visit their parents. But the travellers are obliged to stop again and again on account of general strikes, traffic jams, breakdowns and angry villagers. Some of these obstacles are overcome by the passengers themselves, who get to know each other during the trip they even dress up as a wedding party in order to be allowed to keep moving. Meanwhile, at home, everything has changed.
    Deepak Rauniyar’s first feature-length drama is a road movie that is full of surprises and passion; it is also an unflinching portrayal of life in Nepal today.
