Nepali song

लाशको पनि टाउको काट्ने पापीहरु
बाँचुञ्जेल त सुखले बस्न पाएनन्, पाएनन्, मरिसक्दा पनि सुख दिएनन् पापीहरुले। जब मानिस पैसाको मात लागेर अन्धो बन्छ, तब के गर्न हुने, के नगर्ने सब बन्धन हराउँछ। अब हेर्नुस् न धादिङमा, के त्यो कुनै सभ्य समाजले सोच्ने चिज हो ?
धादिङको जोगिमारा गाविसको वडा नम्बर १ मा पर्छ हुग्दी खोला। त्यसैको दोभानमा गाडिन्छन् जोगिमाराका चेपाङ र दलित जातिका शव। केही दिनअघि त्यहाँ गाडिएका लाशलाई निकालेर टाउको काटेर बाँकी शरीर त्यतिकै अलपत्र छाडेर गएछन् कुन पापीहरुले।
एउटा लाश एक हप्तामात्रै अघि गाडिएको रहेछ। अरु लाश भने पहिले नै गाडिएकाहरु।
टाउको मात्र काटेर शरीरका बाँकी भाग यत्तिकै छाडेर गएपछि डुङडुङ्ती गनाएपछि गाविसले हजार रुपैयाँ दिएर फेरि गाड्न लगाएछ शवलाई।
अब त्यहाँ बस्नेहरु डराइरहेका छन्- मरेकाको त टाउको बाँकी नराख्नेले जिउँदोलाई के गर्लान् भन्दै।
हिरोइन, अफिम जस्ता अवैध नशालु पदार्थ बनाउन, तन्त्रमन्त्र गर्न मानव खप्पर महँगो मोलमा बिक्री हुन्छन्। त्यसैले तस्करहरुले टाउको काटेर लगेको हुनसक्ने शंका छ।
जब मानिसमा डर हुन्न, तब यस्ता कल्पनै गर्न नसकिने अपराध पनि समाजमा देखा पर्छन्। यो त्यसैको एउटा नमूना हो।

माधव नेपाल सरकारको ४४ जना मन्त्रीहरु मध्ये कोही कोही त नमूनै रहेछन् बा…! ह्वाँ प्रधानमन्त्रीलाई आफ्नो कुर्सी जोगाउन कस्तो गाह्रो भइरहेको छ। कहिले टुरिस्ट बसमा सहर घुमेर कहिले जनआन्दोलनका घाइतेलाई जागिर दिएर जनतामा राम्रो सन्देश दिन खोजिरहेका छन् उनी। ह्याँ उनकै मन्त्रिमण्डलका मन्त्री भने वाहियात काम गरेर मन्त्री पद कै बेइज्जत गरिरा’छन्।
भएछ के भने तमलोपाबाट युवा तथा खेलकूद सहायक मन्त्री बन्ने सौभाग्य पाएकी चन्दा चौधरी मन्त्री निवास पुल्चोकतिर जाँदै रहिछिन् आफ्नो झण्डावाला गाडीमा झण्डा फरफराउँदै। कुपन्डोलमा पुगेपछि घच्याक्क लाएर गाडी रोकिएछ। सबलाई नयाँ गाडी काँ पाएर ल्याउनु ! अलि पुरानो गाडी थियो, बिग्रिएछ। युवा मन्त्री, युवा जोश- रिसले आँखा देखिनन्। मुक्का हानिन् गाडीको शिशामा- झ्याम्म, झ्याम्म। चकनाचुर भयो गाडीको शिशा।

गाडी उनको आफ्नै निजी भएको भए त के मतलब हुन्थ्यो र ! तर त्यो गाडी थियो बा १ झ ४६३४ नम्बरको सरकारी गाडी। अर्थात् तपाईँ हाम्रो करले किनेको गाडी। ल हेर्नुस् त मन्त्रीको रजाइँ- उसको केही जाने हैन भन्दै त्यसरी सरकारी गाडीको शिशा फोड्न पाइन्छ ? मन्त्री त यस्ता छन् भने देशका ठूला भनाउँदाहरु, नेतृत्व गर्नुपर्नेहरु त यस्ता छन् भने उनका कार्यकर्ताहरुले आन्दोलन सान्दोलनमा शिशा फुटाउँदा उनीहरुले के मुखले गल्ती गरेको भन्ने ?
४४- ४४ जना मन्त्री भएको देशमा यो त ट्रेलर मात्रै होला हजुर, पूरै फिलिम त अझै आउनै बाँकी छ होला।
अब यस्तो मन्त्रीलाई केही कारबाही होला कि भनेर सोच्नु मूर्खता सिवाय केही हुँदैन। बरु उनलाई पुरानो गाडी परेकोमा माफी माग्छन् होला बाब्बै ! कि कसो त ?
कसरी बनिन् चन्दा मन्त्री ?माधव नेपालको सरकार बन्ने भएपछि गठबन्धनमा सामेल दलहरुलाई मन्त्री बाँड्न धौ धौ भयो। भागवण्डामा तमलोपालाई पर्यो शिक्षा, युवा तथा खेलकूद मन्त्रालय। टुक्राइयो दुई भागमा- शिक्षा र युवा तथा खेलकूद छुट्टै मन्त्रालयका रुपमा। तर लामो समयसम्म तमलोपाले मन्त्री छान्न सकेन। कारण उही त हो, पदको लोभ। सबलाई मन्त्री पद चाहिने। सरकार गठन भएको साढे तीन महिनापछि गत भदौ २६ गते आठौंपटक मन्त्रिमण्डल विस्तार गर्दा चन्दा मन्त्री बनेकी हुन्।
प्रधानमन्त्री समक्ष हिन्दी भाषामा शपथ लिँदा पदको मर्यादा कायम राख्छु भनेकी थिइन् चन्दाले। सर्लाही निवासी चन्दाले चुनाव जितेकी छैनन्। उनी त ‘पार्टीलाई सहयोग गरेको, समानुपातिकमा परेको’ कोटाकी हुन्। तमलोपासम्वद्ध महिला संघकी अध्यक्ष पनि हुन् चन्दा।

Top tips for getting a cheaper car insurance quote
Fit an alarmFit an approved alarm and immobiliser, such as a Thatcham 1 or Thatcham 2. All improvements to security should help to lower your car insurance costs. Some insurers could even insist on sophisticated tracking devices before they will insure expensive cars.
Change your excessChange the excess you are prepared to pay on any claim to reduce the premium. With voluntary excess the more you are willing to cover yourself in the event of an accident the lower your premium.
Check your mileageCheck your mileage to make sure you are not paying extra for miles you are not covering in your car. If, for example, you change jobs and have a shorter commute to work you could be saving money. Try and work out how many miles you will genuinely cover - but don't get it wrong as inaccuracy could jeopardise your claim.
Minimise your optional extrasOnly select to have a courtesy car or legal expenses if you really need them, as they may increase your premium. The less your motor insurance company has to provide in the event of an accident, the lower your costs.
Be careful where you parkKeep your car parked in a locked garage overnight if you can - this can help reduce the premium. More than 50% of vehicle thefts occur during the night so if your car is safely locked away it makes sense that your insurance costs will be reduced as a consequence. If you don't have access to a garage, then parking on a driveway is generally considered a lower risk than parking on the road. It's less likely that vandalism, theft or accidental damage will occur when you're off the highway.
Pass Plus
If you're a new driver looking to get your first car and car insurance we'd highly recommend that you take your Pass Plus in order to reduce your premiums. The Pass Plus certificate can only be obtained within the first year of passing your practical driving test.
You'll be taking 6 lessons where you'll become competent in the following areas:
Driving in town
Driving out of town
Driving in all Weathers
Driving at night
Driving on a dual carriageway
Driving on a motorway
There is no test to take at the end of the course. When your instructor is satisfied with your performance you will receive a certificate from the Driving Standards Agency (DSA).
This certificate you will earn you large discounts with a whole host of insurance companies participating in the Pass Plus scheme.

Women’s car insurance
Until a decade or so ago, the issue of cheap car insurance for women drivers was not high on most insurers’ agenda.
Today, women can enjoy some excellent motor insurance deals. But as with all these things, it makes sense to shop around. Find out how to get the best rates below.
Women may still face discrimination in certain areas of their lives, but one area where this definitely does not appear to be happening is over the cost of their car insurance.
Premiums for women drivers tend to be lower than they are for men, especially up to the age of about 45. Thereafter they level off.
The reasons why female car insurance is cheaper than men’s are simple: premiums are based on a wide range of statistics which show they are much safer drivers than men.
Government figures show that over 92% of convictions for driving offences in the UK are for men.
Men are responsible for 98% of all convictions for dangerous driving.
Women drivers tend to drive more slowly, carefully and shorter distances than men.
Although women tend to have as many accidents as men, they are less likely to be serious. Therefore their overall claims experience is better than those of their male counterparts.
Cheaper Car Insurance For Female Drivers
So how can women get the best car insurance deals? Much of the advice available in our main car insurance guide applies equally to women drivers. Here are a few extra tips to help you keep car insurance premiums as cheap as possible:
Consider a car that has a small engine or is in a low insurance group.
If you have only just passed your test, consider taking out your own cover rather than piggybacking on your parents: you can build up a no-claims bonus that much quicker – in the second year your costs could fall by up to 30%.
Avoid modifications, such as alloy wheels, extra spoilers or racing exhausts.
Look out for additional security features, such as locks and immobilisers as these will help minimise your premiums.
If you only tend to drive occasionally, look for policies that offer discounts for lower mileages. It’s also worth getting quotes from insurers that specialise in covering female drivers.
If you are an older driver, try to avoid putting your children on your policy.

Insurance
Compare Auto, Homeowner, Health Insurance QuotesEveryone knows that insurance premiums can be affected by your credit history or perhaps a spotty driving record in the case of auto insurance. But few people realize that an insurance company's loss experience is one of the biggest factors for determining how much they will pay for coverage. How so? Well, say for example an insurance company paid out a large amount of homeowner insurance claims due to a particularly catastrophic year of floods and fire damage. The same insurance company may also provide auto insurance coverage. To compensate for the losses experienced under their home owner insurance division, they may raise premiums for their car insurance customers even if they had no accidents or tickets. Or, they could simply increase the insurance prices for house insurance policyholders in another state.Insurance is a business, and like any other business it needs to generate profit. Monetary losses from an excessive amount of insurance claims are usually shifted to the consumer in the package of higher insurance premiums. If the insurance company had an extremely profitable year, they may lower rates to attract more customers and increase the number of policyholders they have. For this reason, insurance rates vary greatly from one company to another.Health and life insurance rates are very low right now in this competitive insurance industry. However, some health and life insurance companies offer low initial rates to gain insurance customers and then gradually increase these teaser insurance rates over time. The best way to ensure you are getting the best price for your insurance needs is to review your policy rates regularly and compare them against what other competing insurance companies are offering. You can do this by requesting insurance quotes from multiple insurance companies.Use Technology to Find an Affordable CoverageIn the past, obtaining insurance quotes was a time consuming affair that involved hours on the phone or lengthy meetings with individual insurance agents. With the technology advancements of today, you can request insurance quotes quickly and efficiently. It only takes about two minutes to fill out the online insurance questionnaire provided on 2insure4less.com.

5 Ways to Make Money Fast and Easy
This is where the rubber meets the road. Traction is something we all lack when we are doing our research and ultimate field tests in the quest for our first million. More traction would be great whatever step in the ladder you are at.
We generally focus on helping fledgling millionaires in our work because it is the most rewarding and gives us the greatest bang for our buck. To see an individual go from clueless to savvy in a fortnight is a gratifying experience. When its our resources that helped that transformation, then its very satisfying indeed. So thats the area we focus on here. This is for people who need direction but have small resource capital to manufacture acceptable results.
So lets give you a little traction before you seize your jets.The following 5 strategies will give you the moves to take you to the first level. -A guy/gal with a proven idea that can be replicated-(An enviable position to be in)
1) Lets get this straight. Million dollar bank balances are numerical in nature. By that I mean a million bucks is not made up of 1 large million dollar bill. Its made up of exactly one million single's. Or to go to the lowest common denominator, its actually numerically made up of One thousand, million (or 1 billion) cents.
Make money fast and easy by thinking of money as numerical and therefore exponential. A dollar that you hold in your hand is the same as $1 million dollars. No difference at all. Its a seed that grows into a tree, then that tree spurrs more seeds. (I apologize for the metaphor, but how else can we put this so you understand the nature of the reality as it is)
2) When you approach your 1 million dollar goal, you are biting off much much more then you can chew thinking about that million.
To make money fast and easy always think small. Refine, refine, refine. Then duplicate, duplicate, duplicate. Are you with me? Is this making sense? Make a simple little mouse trap, then make lots of mouse traps exactly the same way.
3) Find demand and supply into that demand.
To make money fast and easy, even before you think about "what" you will do, you are going to research demand. You will become an expert at sniffing out needs. This skill is a millionaires bow and arrow. Let me tell you, most millionaires couldn't hit the side of a barn much less the bulls eye. But they DO know this. So their aim is not important. What is important is that the target is nice and gigantic. How can they miss?
Trust me, its what millionaires do, its how millionaires think. Always supply into Fat juicy demand where the picking is easy. Do you want medals of bravery or a million bucks asap?
4) Have a structure you never deviate from.
They always failed to plan when they planned to fail. Once your research is done never deviate from it. Give it a good run but if it doesn't work out for you then move on without shedding a single tear. Chance and "chaos theory" are fascinating things. Probability is what millionaires deal with. They never delude themselves into believing in absolutes.
To make money fast and easy, you will not work backwards or second guess yourself. Plant yourself firmly in the middle of the road on the high side and go forward. Don't make it up as you go. Stick to what your demand planning told you to do. Many give up after 1 failure, but probability is a funny thing. We think we can control it, but even when all your ducks are lined up in a row, it may not work. But give it a chance and let it prove itself and you may find over a number of attempts you will get the results you expected.
5) Diversify AND Go deep.
They call out diversify when it comes to investing. Fair enough. Things change and relying on just one source for your income stream is dangerous. And it is. But there are two sides to every coin.
The pareto principle states that reality and probability are stacked unevenly. We as rational human beings think of everything as equal and even. However scientific evidence and business experience tells a different story. The pareto principle is also known as the 80/20 rule. It states that 80% of your results comes from 20% of your activities. Is this significant if true? You bet. It means that of every effort you make, of all the many things you do to manufacture your results, only 20% actually is responsible for a large proportion (in fact 80%) of them.
So what does this mean in English? It means you can easily quadruple your results by finding out what that special 20% activity is and stop doing everything else. By focusing on just that 20% activity you will not only increase results, but you will create a new pareto principle refined of the old one at a higher level. In this way you move forward and evolve your activities to higher and higher levels.
To your health and rapid success.
If you need money now, like I mean in the next 10 minutes, try what I did. I now am making more money than in my old business and you can too. If you want to learn how to invest a few hundred dollars in the next 10 minutes and double it before you go to bed tonight, click now to read a "Rags to riches" story that is remarkable - Free!

Quality Healthcare Must Serve Individual Needs of Patients
(CHICAGO)
Quality healthcare must reinsert consumers as the primary decision makers for their healthcare, says a report published by the Center for Health Transformation (CHT). The 21st Century Intelligent Health System: An Individual-Centered Approach describes the necessary steps to reform our healthcare system to meet the individual needs of patients. The paper provides patient statements and examples of how the needs of patients and family members are being met, and suggests that higher quality care can be provided at a much lower price if the consumer disciplines the industry.
"As a patient, I understand all too well what it is like to be left out of the discussion," said Lynette Bisconti, a patient advocate and cancer survivor. Bisconti was diagnosed with breast cancer three weeks after discovering she was pregnant.
"To beat cancer, save my baby and have a quality of life on par with what I had before cancer, I knew I needed to be actively involved in decisions about my medical care," Bisconti said. "These were my life and health goals - individual to me - and I needed my care team to understand what I valued most, to listen to me and respect my decisions about my cancer treatment."
The CHT paper makes a compelling case for healthcare reform that creates a system built around individual needs.
"The overriding difference from every other high quality reasonable cost industry and healthcare is that we have removed the consumer and what they value from decision-making," said Steve Bonner, president and CEO of Cancer Treatment Centers of America and co-chair of the CHT working group that developed the report.
"The Central point of our paper is that our healthcare system must reengage the consumer and include what they value in the process," Bonner said. "Then as providers of their care, we must figure out what the consumer is willing to pay for and then we must all compete to deliver the best products and services at the most attractive prices."
Bisconti sought a total of eight medical opinions. In each of the first six she felt she was being treated like a protocol, not as an individual. "Protocol said terminate the pregnancy, try to save the mother and call it a day," said Bisconti. "The clinical cookbook never seemed to change.

India's first 'sea bridge' opens in Mumbai
MUMBAI (AFP) – India's first "sea bridge" was officially opened in Mumbai on Tuesday, raising hopes that the state-of-the-art structure will ease chronic congestion on the city's notoriously choked roads.
The sweeping, 5.6-kilometre (3.5-mile) Bandra-Worli Sea Link was inaugurated by the ruling Congress party chief Sonia Gandhi on a visit to India's financial capital.
It is hoped that the 16.5-billion-rupee (340-million-dollar) eight-lane freeway will help cut the 40-minute journey between the suburbs of Bandra and Worli to just eight minutes.
But although hailed as a triumph of engineering, the landmark bridge -- seen as a beacon of hope for other, much-needed infrastructure projects elsewhere in India -- is not fully operational.
Only four lanes will be open to traffic from 12:01 am Wednesday. Work is scheduled to be completed on the remaining section in the coming months.
Plane with 153 crashes off Comoros, child rescued
MORONI, Comoros – A Yemenia jet with 153 people on board crashed into the Indian Ocean on Tuesday as it tried to land during strong winds on the island nation of Comoros. Officials said one child was plucked alive from the sea.
There was no word on other survivors. At least three bodies were recovered, authorities said.
The crash comes two years after aviation officials reported faults with the aircraft, an Airbus 310 flying the last leg of a journey from Paris and Marseille to Comoros, with a stop in Yemen to change planes. Most of the passengers were from Comoros, a former French colony. Sixty-six on board were French nationals.
A child was rescued from the water after the crash, according to Rachida Abdullah, a police immigration officer who works at the operations center in the Comoros, and Yemeni civil aviation deputy chief Mohammed Abdul Qader.
Qader said he was told the child was 5 years old. Further details on the rescue and the child's condition were not immediately available.
Three bodies from the flight were retrieved along with debris from the plane, Abdullah said.
Qader said it was too early to speculate on the cause and the flight data recorder had not been found, but the wind was 40 miles per hour (61 kph) as the plane was landing in the middle of the night.
"The weather was very bad ... the wind was very strong," he said, adding the windy conditions were hampering rescue efforts.
The Yemenia plane was the second Airbus to crash into the sea in as many months. An Air France Airbus A330-200 crashed into the Atlantic Ocean May 31, killing all 228 people on board, as it flew from Rio de Janeiro to Paris.
A crisis center once again was set up at Charles de Gaulle airport in Paris. Many passengers were from the French city of Marseille, which has a large Comoros community.
"There is considerable dismay," said Stephane Salord, the consul general of the Comoros in the Provence-Alps-Cote d'Azur region of France. "These are families that, each year on the eve of summer, leave Marseille and the region to rejoin their families in the Comoros and spend their holidays."
In France, this week is the start of annual summer school vacations.
The Comoros is an archipelago of three main islands situated about 1,800 miles (2,900 kilometers) south of Yemen, between Africa's southeastern coast and the island of Madagascar. It is a former French colony of 700,000 people.
Gen. Bruno de Bourdoncle de Saint-Salvy, the senior commander for French forces in the southern Indian Ocean, said the Airbus 310 crashed in deep waters about 9 miles (14.5 kilometers) north of the Comoran coast and 21 miles (34 kilometers) from the Moroni airport.
French aviation inspectors found a "number of faults" during a 2007 inspection of the plane that went down, French Transport Minister Dominique Bussereau said on i-Tele television Tuesday.
In Brussels, EU Transport Commissioner Antonio Tajani said the airline had previously met EU safety checks and was not on the bloc's blacklist. But he said a full investigation was now being started amid questions why passengers were put on another jet in the Yemeni capital of San'a.
An Airbus statement said the plane that crashed went into service 19 years ago, in 1990, and had accumulated 51,900 flight hours. It has been operated by Yemenia (Yemen Airways) since 1999. Airbus said it was sending a team of specialists to the Comoros.
The A310-300 is a twin-engine widebody jet that can seat up to 220 passengers. There are 214 A310s in service worldwide with 41 operators.
Christophe Prazuck, French military spokesman, said a patrol boat and reconnaissance ship were being sent to the crash site as well a military transport plane. The French were sending divers as well as medical personnel, he said.
French President Nicolas Sarkozy "expressed his deep emotion" about the crash and asked the French military to help in the rescue operation, particularly from the French islands of Mayotte and Reunion.
Yemenia airline officials say the 11-member crew was made up of six Yemenis, including the pilot, two Moroccans, one Indonesian, one Ethiopian and 1 Filipino. The officials asked that their named not be used because they were not authorized to speak to the media.

जसले जेल बसेर अरु अपराध सिक्यो
१८ वर्षको उमेरमै आपराधिक दुनियाँमा सनसनी मच्चाएका निरञ्जन खनाल पाँच वर्षपछि फेरि चर्चामा आएका छन् । उनको पछिल्लो चर्चा पनि अपराधसँगै गाँसिएको छ । त्यतिवेला भर्खरै एसएलसी दिएका खनाल देशको राजधानीको मुटुमा रहेको एउटा बैंक एक्लै लुट्ने दुस्साहस देखाएको पाँच वर्षपछि व्यापारी महेश सारडाको अपहरण गरेर संगठित अपराधीको नाइकेको रूपमा देखिए ।
निरञ्जन खनाल जसको अपराध शैलीले प्रहरीलाई पनि झस्कायो पहिलो घटनामा निक्कै चतुर्याइँ देखाएर प्रहरीलाई चक्मा दिँदै हिँडेका खनाल यसपटक भने आफैं प्रहरीको गोलचक्करमा फसे । पहिलो घटनामा उनले नाटकीय रूपमा आत्मसमर्पण गरेर आफ्नो अपराध कबुलेका थिए । दोस्रो अपराधमा भने उनलाई फन्दामा पार्न प्रहरीले लामै संघर्ष गर्नुपर्यो । बैंक डकैतीको अभियोगमा २ वर्ष जेल सजाय भोगेर रिहा भएका खनालले आफ्नै अगुवाइमा २२ जेठमा उद्योगी सारडाको अपहरण गरे । उनले अपहरित सारडालाई १० दिनसम्म काठमाडौंको उत्तरमा रहेको साङ्लेखोलामा राखेर उनको परिवारसँग १४ लाख रुपैयाँ फिरौती असुलेर मुक्त गरे । जेलमा रहेका कुख्यात अपहरणकारी अमर टन्डनको सल्लाह, तीनजना भारतीय अपराधी र ६ सदस्यीय नेपा ली समूह लगाएर सारडाको अपहरण गरी ढुक्कसँग काठमाडौंमै बसेका खनाललाई केन्द्रीय कारागारमा रहेका उनका गुरु टन्डनलाई भेटेर फर्कंदै गर्दा असारको पहिलो साता प्रहरीले पक्राउ गरेको थियो । खनाल केन्द्रीय कारागारबाट फर्केर सुन्धारातिर आउँदै गर्दा प्रहरीको फन्दामा परेका हुन् । आफू सनकको भरमा अपराधको दुनियाँमा छिरेको बताउने खनाल जेल बसाइका क्रममा व्यावसायिक अपराधीसँग निकट भए । अपराधमा कहलिएका र अनुभव प्राप्त गरेका अपराधीसँगको सान्निध्यले उनीभित्र रहेको अपराध मनोविज्ञान जेलमा बस्दा पनि निमिट्यान्न हुन सकेन, बरु अरू जुर्मुरायो । त्यसैले जेलबाहिर निस्केपछि खनाल फेरि अपराधकै दुनियाँमा पुगे ।अपराधीहरूसँग आत्मीय हुने र उनीहरूले गरेका अपराधका घटनाहरू सुनेर रोमाञ्चित हुने उनको बानी नै उनलाई फेरि अपराधको दुनियाँमा भसाउने मूल कारण बन्यो ।संयोग पनि कस्तो भने महानगरीय प्रहरी परिसर काठमाडौंको हिरासतमा रहेका खनालको पहिलो अपराध 'बैंक लुटपाट काण्ड'को अनुसन्धान गरेका प्रहरीकै काँधमा उनको दोस्रो अपराध 'सारडा अपहरण प्रकरण'को अनुसन्धानको जिम्मा परेको छ । खनालको पहिलो अपराधको किस्सा सुनाउँदै सइ मदनबहादुर केसी भन्छन्, 'ऊ आउनासाथ मलाई चिनिहाल्यो । उसले सोध्यो, दाइ मलाई कति सजाय हुन्छ ? मैले १५ वर्ष भनेँ ।' सइ केसीको यस्तो जवाफ सुनेपछि खनालले टाउको समाते । आत्तिए । अनि भन्न थाले, 'अब मरे भइगयो नि ! म बाँचेको के सार लाग्यो र । १५ वर्षमा त बूढो भइहाल्छु नि ।' प्रहरीका अनुसार खनालमा अझै पनि सुरक्षा र न्यायको मौजुदा प्रणालीबाट फाइदा उठाएर अरू अपराध गरेर बाँच्न सकिन्छ भन्ने झिनो आशा देखिन्छ । यसले उनीभित्र रहेको आपराधिक मनोभाव कति बलियोसँग जकडिएको रहेछ भन्ने प्रस्ट हुन्छ ।पहिलो भेटमै सइ केसी खनालका कुरा सुनेर अचम्ममा परेका थिए रे । उसको उमेर, हाउभाउ र शैली देख्दा ऊ कुनै चतुर युवाजस्तो लाग्थ्यो रे । खनालसँगको भेटको अनुभवबारे केसी भन्छन्, 'पहिला जे काम गरे पनि चर्चामा नआउने भएपछि उसले चर्चामा आउन बैंक लुटेको भन्थ्यो । तर, अहिले प्रारम्भिक अनुसन्धानमा भएकाले सबै कुरा सोध्न भ्याएको छैन । तर, त्यस मान्छेको दिमागचाहिँ तगडाजस्तो लाग्छ ।'
काठमाडौंको मुटुमा रहेको बैंक नाटकीय ढंगमा एक्लै लुटेर चर्चामा आएका युवा अपराधी निरञ्जन खनाललाई थप अपराध सिकाउने अखडा बन्यो जेल महानगरीय प्रहरी परिसर काठमाडौंका एसपी नवराज सिलवालको खनालसँगको पहिलो भेट पनि त्यत्तिकै रोचक रहेछ । 'किन अपहरण गरेको त मान्छे ?' भन्ने सिलवालको प्रश्नमा खनालले उत्तर दिएछन्, 'अपराधमा एक्सपेरिमेन्ट गरेको । पहिला बैंक लुटेँ, अहिले अपहरण गरेँ ।'खनाललाई गोलचक्करमा पारेर पक्राउ गर्ने महानगरीय प्रहरी अपराध महाशाखाका प्रहरी निरीक्षक कृष्णप्रसाद कोइरालाको अनुभवमा खनाल चतुर अपराधी हुन् । उनी आफ्नो नजिक रहेका व्यक्तिलाई एकैछिनमा कन्भिन्स गर्न खप्पीस छन् । सारडा प्रकरणलाई पछ्याइरहेको प्रहरीले अपहरणकारी खनाल नै रहेको निश्चित गरी पक्राउ गर्न उनीसमक्ष जाँदा खनालले प्रहरी टोलीलाई समेत 'कन्भिन्स' गरेर झन्नै उम्केका थिए । पक्राउ गर्न पुगेका कोइरालाले खनालको भनाइ उद्धृत गर्दै भने, 'तँ अपहरणकारी होइन भनेर हामीले सोध्दा उसले यति विनम्र पारामा आफूलाई प्रस्तुत गर्यो कि हामी अचम्मित भयौँ । आम्मै के त्यस्तो भनेको सर, प्लिज त्यस्तो नभन्नुस् न । म कहाँ त्यस्तो छु र ? भन्यो उसले ।'अपहरणकारीका नाइके सिद्धार्थ लामा, उदय सेट्टीलगायतकालाई फन्दामा पारिसकेका कोइराला खनालका बारेमा भन्छन्, 'खनाल नाटक गर्न सिपालु छ । बडो दिमाग लगाएर अपराध गर्छ । यो बाहिर बसेर काम गर्ने हो भने अमर टन्डनलाई पनि माथ ख्वाउँछ ।'

मन्त्रिपरिषद् तेस्रोपटक विस्तार
प्रधानमन्त्री माधवकुमार नेपालले तेस्रोपटक मन्त्रिपरिषद् विस्तार गरे पनि मन्त्रिपरिषद्लाई पूर्णता भने दिन सकेनन् । मधेसवादी दलहरूसित कुरा नमिलेपछि बुधबार प्रधानमन्त्री नेपालले एमाले र कांग्रेसका गरी पाँच मन्त्री र ६ राज्यमन्त्रीलाई शपथ गराएका छन् ।
अझै अपूर्णएमालेका तर्फबाट शंकर पोखरेल, भीम रावल, रकम चेम्जोङ र रवीन्द्र श्रेष्ठ तथा कांग्रेसका तर्फबाट मोहम्मदअफताव आलमलाई मन्त्री नियुक्त गरिएको छ । पोखरेललाई सूचना तथा सञ्चार, रावललाई गृह, चेम्जोङलाई शान्ति तथा पुनर्निर्माण, श्रेष्ठलाई सामान्य प्रशासन र आलमलाई श्रम तथा यातायात मन्त्रालयको जिम्मेवारी दिइएको छ ।यसअघि, मन्त्री नियुक्त गरिए पनि कुनै विभागीय जिम्मेवारी नपाएका कांग्रेस र मालेका मन्त्रीहरूलाई पनि बुधबार विभागीय जिम्मेवारी दिइएको छ । जसअनुसार डा. प्रकाशशरण महतलाई ऊर्जा, बालकृष्ण खाँडलाई सिञ्चाइ, डा. मिनेन्द्र रिजाललाई संघीय मामिला, संविधानसभा, संसदीय व्यवस्था र संस्कृति, पूर्णकुमार शेर्मालाई स्थानीय विकास, उमाकान्त चौधरी स्वास्थ्य तथा जनसंख्या र डम्मर श्रेष्ठलाई भूमिसुधार तथा व्यवस्था मन्त्रालयको जिम्मेवारी दिइएको छ ।तेस्रोपटक विस्तार भएपछि मन्त्रिपरिषद् २२ सदस्यीय बनेको छ । ९ जेठमा प्रधानमन्त्री निर्वाचित भएका नेपालले ११ जेठमा पद तथा गोपनीयताको शपथ लिएका थिए । त्यसैदिन उनले आफ्नै पार्टी एमालेका तर्फबाट सुरेन्द्र पाण्डे र विद्यादेवी भण्डारीलाई क्रमशः अर्थ र रक्षामन्त्रीमा नियुक्त गरेका थिए ।त्यसको नौ दिनपछि दोस्रोपटक मन्त्रिमण्डल विस्तार गर्दै प्रधानमन्त्री नेपालले कांग्रेस, मधेसी जनअधिकार फोरम र नेकपा मालेका गरी आठजनालाई मन्त्रीमा नियुक्त गरेका थिए । उनीहरूमध्ये ६ मन्त्रीलाई कुनै विभागीय जिम्मेवारी दिइएको थिएन । मन्त्री नियुक्त भएको झन्डै दुई सातापछि बुधबार उनीहरूले विभागीय जिम्मेवारी पाएका हुन् । प्रधानमन्त्री नेपालले बुधबार नै एमालेका तर्फबाट मोहम्मद रिजमान अन्सारी, जितु गौतम र डिल्लीबहादुर महत तथा कांग्रेसका तर्फबाट गणेशबहादुर खड्का, चन्द्रसिंह भट्टराई र खड्गबहादुर बस्याललाई राज्यमन्त्रीमा नियुक्त गरेका छन् । अन्सारीलाई गृह, गौतमलाई सामान्य प्रशासन, महतलाई शान्ति तथा पुनर्निर्माण, खड्कालाई स्थानीय विकास, भट्टराईलाई ऊर्जा र बस्याललाई स्वास्थ्य राज्यमन्त्रीमा नियुक्त गरिएको हो । प्रधानमन्त्री नेपालले नवनियुक्त मन्त्रीहरूलाई राष्ट्रपति डा. रामवरण यादवको उपस्थितिमा शीतलनिवासमा र राज्यमन्त्रीहरूलाई सिंहदरबारस्थित प्रधानमन्त्री कार्यालयमा पद तथा गोपनीयताको शपथ गराएका थिए । मन्त्रीहरूले बुधबार नै आ-आफ्नो मन्त्रालय गएर पदभार ग्रहण गरेका छन् ।राष्ट्रपति भवनमा आयोजित मन्त्रीहरूको शपथग्रहण समारोहमा विशिष्ट व्यक्ति, राजनीतिक दलका नेताहरूको उपस्थिति रहेको भए पनि उपप्रधानमन्त्री विजयकुुमार गच्छदार र मधेसवादी दलका नेताहरूको उपस्थिति थिएन ।

Believe It Or Not!
"Answer: Hinduism is one of the oldest known organized religions—its sacred writings date as far back as 1400 to 1500 B.C. It is also one of the most diverse and complex, having millions of gods. Hindus have a wide variety of core beliefs and exist in many different sects. Although it is the third largest religion in the world, Hinduism exists primarily in India and Nepal.The main texts of Hinduism are the Vedas (considered most important), Upanishadas, the Mahabharata, and the Ramayana. These writings contain hymns, incantations, philosophies, rituals, poems, and stories from which Hindus base their beliefs. Other texts used in Hinduism include the Brahmanas, the Sutras, and the Aranyakas.Though Hinduism is often understood as being polytheistic, supposedly recognizing as many as 330 million gods, it also has one “god” that is supreme—Brahma. Brahma is an entity believed to inhabit every portion of reality and existence throughout the entire universe. Brahma is both impersonal and unknowable and is often believed to exist in three separate forms: Brahma—Creator; Vishnu—Preserver; and Shiva—Destroyer. These “facets” of Brahma are also known through the many other incarnations of each. It is difficult to summarize Hindu theology since the various Hindu schools contain elements of almost every theological system. Hinduism can be:1) Monistic—Only one thing exists; Sankara's school2) Pantheistic—Only one divine thing exists so that God is identical to the world; Brahmanism3) Panentheistic—The world is part of God; Ramanuja's School4) Theistic—Only one God, distinct from Creation; Bhakti Hinduism.Observing other schools, Hinduism can also be atheistic, deistic, or even nihilistic. With such diversity included under the title “Hindu,” one may wonder what makes them “Hindu” in the first place? About the only real issue is whether or not a belief system recognizes the Vedas as sacred. If it does, then it is Hindu. If not, then it is not Hindu. The Vedas are more than theology books. They contain a rich and colorful “theo-mythology,” that is, a religious mythology which deliberately interweaves myth, theology, and history to achieve a story-form religious root. This “theo-mythology” is so deeply rooted in India's history and culture that to reject the Vedas is viewed as opposing India. Therefore, a belief system is rejected by Hinduism if it does not embrace Indian culture to some extent. If the system accepts Indian culture and its theo-mythical history, then it can be embraced as “Hindu” even if its theology is theistic, nihilistic, or atheistic. This openness to contradiction can be a headache for Westerners who seek logical consistency and rational defensibility in their religious views. But, to be fair, Christians are no more logical when they claim belief in Yahweh yet live life as practical atheists, denying Christ with their lives. For the Hindu the conflict is genuine logical contradiction. For the Christian, the conflict is more likely simple hypocrisy.Hinduism views mankind as divine. Because Brahma is everything, Hinduism asserts that everyone is divine. Atman, or self, is one with Brahman. All of reality outside of Brahman is considered mere illusion. The spiritual goal of a Hindu is to become one with Brahma, thus ceasing to exist in its illusory form of “individual self.” This freedom is referred to as “moksha.” Until moksha is achieved, a Hindu believes that he/she will be repeatedly reincarnated in order that he/she may work towards self-realization of the truth (the truth being that only Brahman exists, nothing else). How a person is reincarnated is determined by karma, which is a principle of cause and effect governed by nature's balance. What one did in the past affects and corresponds with what happens in the future, past and future lives included.Although this is just a brief synopsis, it is readily seen that Hinduism is in opposition to biblical Christianity on almost every count of its belief system. Christianity has one God who is both personal and knowable (Deuteronomy 6:5; 1 Corinthians 8:6); has one set of Scriptures; teaches that God created the earth and all who live upon it (Genesis 1:1; Hebrews 11:3); believes that man is created in God's image and lives only once (Genesis 1:27; Hebrews 9:27-28); and teaches that salvation is through Jesus Christ alone (John 3:16; 6:44; 14:6; Acts 4:12). Hinduism as a religious system fails because it fails to recognize Jesus as the uniquely incarnated God-Man and Savior, the one solely sufficient source of salvation for humanity.

Cancer smart lifestyle
It may surprise you to learn that at least one in three cancer cases are preventable and the number of cancer deaths could be reduced significantly by choosing a cancer smart lifestyle.
More than 13,000 cancer deaths each year are due to smoking, sun exposure, poor diet, alcohol, inadequate exercise or being overweight.
There are some simple steps you can take to minimise your cancer risk. So where do you start? The seven steps to reducing your cancer risk are explained in the Cancer Council's cancer smart .
For a more detailed analysis of cancer prevention please view the National Cancer Prevention Policy. The policy is a comprehensive set of recommendations, outlining how national action by governments and non-government organisations can reduce new cases of cancer from occurring.

नेपाली प्रजातान्त्रिक आन्दोलनकी योद्धा एवं कांग्रेस नेत्री शैलजा आचार्यको शुक्रबार बिहान ४ बजेर २५ मिनेटमा निधन भयो । लामो समयदेखि अस्वस्थ आचार्यको स्वास्थ्यमा थप समस्या देखिएपछि बुधबारदेखि उनलाई शिक्षण अस्पताल महाराजगन्जमा भर्ना गरिएको थियो । मुटु, श्वास-प्रश्वासमा समस्यासहित नाडीको पल्स गुमेको अवस्थामा शिक्षण अस्पतालको सघन उपचार कक्षमा भर्ना गरिएको थियो । अस्पतालले आचार्यको निधनको जानकारी दिँदा अस्पतालमा स्व. आचार्यसामु भाइ प्रदीप, बुहारी निता, सहयोगी शम्भु महर्जन र सुरक्षार्थ खटिएका वासुदेव पौडेल मात्र थिए । अस्पतालले आचार्यको निधनबारे जानकारी उपलब्ध गराएको तीन घन्टापछि मात्र कांग्रेस पूर्वमहामन्त्री एवं पूर्वसभामुख तारानाथ रानाभाट अस्पताल परिसरमा देखिए । त्यसैगरी ७:२४ मा कांग्रेस केन्द्रीय सदस्य चक्रप्रसाद बास्तोला, साढे सात बजे शेखर कोइराला त्यहाँ पुगे । ७:४० मा विनाविभागीयमन्त्री एवं कांग्रेस केन्द्रीय सदस्य डा. मीनेन्द्र रिजाल पनि शिक्षण अस्पतालमा देखिए । खबर गरेको घन्टौंसम्म पनि पार्टी नेताहरू अस्पतालमा नदेखिँदा स्व. आचार्यका आफन्त खिन्न देखिन्थे । आचार्यको पार्थिव शरीरलाई नौ बजेसम्म शिक्षण अस्पताल महाराजगन्जमा राखिएको थियो । त्यहाँ कांग्रेस कार्यवाहक सभापति सुशील कोइराला, उपसभापति रामचन्द्र पौडेल, कांग्रेसका तर्फबाट मन्त्री भएका सुजाताबाहेक सबै मन्त्रीहरू पुगेका थिए । ढिलै भए पनि अस्पताल परिसरमा कांग्रेस नेताहरू र कार्यकर्ताहरू आउनेक्रम जारी रह्यो । बिहीबार मात्र बेलायतबाट आएकी नेत्री आचार्यकी बहिनीकी छोरी गरिमा सबैभन्दा बढी भावविह्वल देखिइन् । गरिमा नेता चक्रप्रसाद बास्तोला अर्थात् स्व. आचार्यकी बहिनीज्वाइँकी छोरी भए पनि उनको रेखदेख र पालनपोषण नेत्री आचार्यले नै गर्दै आएकी थिइन् ।
सिंगो जीवन राजनीतिमा बिताएकी आचार्यको निधनबारे खबर दिएको तीन घन्टासम्म पनि अस्पताल पुगेनन् पार्टी नेताहरू
आचार्यको शव शिक्षण अस्पतालबाट कांग्रेस मुख्यालय सानेपा लगिएको थियो । त्यहाँ स्व. आचार्यप्रति अन्तिम श्रद्धाञ्जली दिन विभिन्न राजनीतिक दलका नेता, कार्यकर्ता एवं शुभचिन्तकको ठूलो भीड लागेको थियो । कांग्रेसका सभापति गिरिजाप्रसाद कोइरालाले नेत्री आचार्यप्रति श्रद्धाञ्जली अर्पण गर्दै पार्टीको चारतारे झन्डा ओढाएका थिए । अस्पतालबाट पार्टी कार्यालयमा शव पुर्याउन केही ढिला भएपछि सभापति कोइरालाले कार्यालयमा नै प्रतीक्षा गर्नुपरेको थियो । कोइराला पार्टी कार्यालय १० बजे नै पुगेका थिए । निकै शोकाकूल देखिएका सभापति कोइरालाले शैलजालाई श्रद्धाञ्जली दिए । र, शवलाई एक फन्को घुमेर नजिकै राखेको पालमुनि बसेका थिए । उनले शैलजाको बारेमा केही बोल्ने जर्मको त गरे तर बोली अवरुद्ध भयो । त्यसपछि कोइराला त्यहाँबाट हिँडे । आचार्यको निधनप्रति श्रद्धाञ्जली व्यक्त गर्न बसेको कांग्रेस केन्द्रीय कार्यसमितिको आकस्मिक बैठकले राष्ट्रियता र प्रजातान्त्रिक आन्दोलनलाई ठूलो धक्का लागेको ठहर गरेको छ । बैठकले देशभरका पार्टी कार्यालयमा तीन दिनसम्म आधा झन्डा झुकाइने र कार्यालय बन्द गर्ने तथा १३ औं दिनको पुन्यतिथिमा श्रद्धाञ्जली समारोह आयोजना गर्ने प्रस्ताव पारित गरेको छ । आचार्यप्रति श्रद्धाञ्जली प्रकट गर्न पार्टी कार्यालय, सानेपामा प्रधानमन्त्री माधवकुमार नेपाल, पूर्वप्रधानमन्त्रीहरू कृष्णप्रसाद भट्टराई, शेरबहादुर देउवा र सूर्यबहादुर थापा, एमाले अध्यक्ष झलनाथ खनाल, संविधानसभाका अध्यक्ष सुवासचन्द्र नेम्वाङ, उपप्रधानमन्त्री विजय गच्छदार, रक्षामन्त्री विद्या भण्डारी, एकीकृत नेकपा माओवादीका नेता नारायणकाजी श्रेष्ठ, कृष्णबहादुर महरा, देवप्रसाद गुरुङ, तराई मधेस लोकतान्त्रिक पार्टीका अध्यक्ष महन्थ ठाकुर, राप्रपा नेपालका अध्यक्ष कमल थापा, राप्रपाका अध्यक्ष पशुपतिशमशेर राणा, सद्भावना पार्टीका अध्यक्ष राजेन्द्र महतो, मधेसी जनअधिकार फोरमका अध्यक्ष उपेन्द्र यादवलगायतका विभिन्न राजनीतिक दलका नेता तथा कार्यकर्ताका साथै संवैधानिक निकायका प्रमुखहरूसमेतको उपस्थिति रहेको थियो ।आचार्यको शुक्रबार अपराह्न पशुपति आर्यघाटमा राजकीय सम्मानका साथ अन्त्येष्टि गरिएको थियो । स्व. आचार्यलाई भाइ प्रदीप आचार्यले दागबत्ती दिएका थिए ।
संघर्षपूर्ण जीवननिडर र मान्यताप्रति अडिग नेत्री शैलजा आचार्य वि.सं. १९९८ वैशाख २० गते मोरङको विराटनगरमा जन्मिएकी थिइन् । माता इन्दिरा र पिता पिनायकीप्रसाद उपाध्यायको पहिलो सन्तानका रूपमा जन्मेकी आचार्यको सिंगो जीवन राजनीतिक सेरोफेरोमै बित्यो ।संघर्षपूर्ण जीवनगाथा बोकेकी नेत्री आचार्यले पद्मकन्याबाट बिए तथा बनारस हिन्दू विश्वविद्यालयबाट समाजशास्त्रमा स्नातकोत्तर तहसम्म अध्ययन गरेकी थिइन् । नेपाली कांग्रेसको केन्द्रीय सदस्यदेखि उपसभापतिसमेत बनेकी नेत्री आचार्य मुलुकको पहिलो महिला उपप्रधानमन्त्रीसमेत बनेकी थिइन् । स्व. आचार्य बिपी कोइराला र कांग्रेस सभापति गिरिजाप्रसाद कोइरालाकी आफ्नै भान्जी हुन् । लामो समयसम्म पार्टीको केन्द्रीय समितिमा रहेकी आचार्य ११औं महाधिवेशनबाट समेत केन्द्रीय समितिमा निर्वाचित भएकी थिइन् ।
नेत्री आचार्यको निधनपछि शोकाकूल भएका आफन्तजन
आचार्यले ७ फागुन ०१७ मा प्रजातन्त्र राजाले अपहरित गरेको विरोधमा पहिलोपटक तत्कालीन राजा महेन्द्रलाई काठमाडौंको टुँडीखेलमा कालो झन्डा देखाउने साहसिक कार्य गरेकी थिइन् । राजालाई कालो झन्डा देखाएकै कारण आचार्यले तीन वर्ष काराबासमा बस्नुपर्यो । जेलबाट निस्केपछि उनले भारतमा निर्वासित जीवन बिताइन् । तत्कालीन कांग्रेस सभापति बिपी कोइरालासँग निर्वासित जीवनमा नै उनी ०२४ मा प्रजातान्त्रिक समाजवादी युवकको संगठन डेमोक्रेटिक सोसलिस्ट युथ लिगको सभापति भएकी थिइन् । त्यसपछि उनी राजनीतिमा अरू सक्रिय भएर देखापरिन् । त्यति नै वेला नेत्री आचार्यले तरुण पत्रिकाको सम्पादनसमेत गरेकी थिइन् । ०३०/३१ मा भएको पञ्चायतविरोधी सशस्त्र संघर्षमा उनले महत्त्वपूर्ण योगदान पुर्याएकी थिइन् । ०३३ सालमा मेलमिलापको नीतिअन्तर्गत बिपी कोइराला, गणेशमान सिंह, खुमबहादुर खड्कालगायतका नेताहरूसँगै उनी पनि स्वदेश फर्किन् निर्वासनबाट । तर, तत्कालीन सरकारले उनीहरू सबैलाई गिरफ्तार गरी केही समय जेल हाल्यो । ०३६ सालको जनमतसंग्रह र ०४२ सालको सत्याग्रहमा पनि आचार्य त्यत्तिकै सक्रिय रहिन् । ०४६ को राजनीतिक परिवर्तनमा पनि नेतृत्वदायी भूमिका निर्वाह गरेकी नेत्री आचार्य निष्ठाको राजनीति गर्ने र आफ्नो मान्यताप्रति अटल महिलाको रूपमा चिनिन्थिन् । प्रजातन्त्रको पुनर्वहालीपछिको आमनिर्वाचनमा मोरङ- ५ बाट प्रतिनिधिसभा सदस्यमा निर्वाचित भएकी आचार्यले कांग्रेस नेतृत्वको बहुमतको सरकारमा कृषि तथा सहकारीमन्त्रीको जिम्मेवारीसमेत सम्हालेकी थिइन् । झन्डै एक वर्ष मन्त्री बनेकी आचार्यले सरकारको कार्यशैलीप्रति असहमति जनाउँदै मन्त्रीपद परित्याग गरिन् । ०५१ सालको मध्यावधि निर्वाचनमा मोरङ- ७ बाट प्रतिनिधिसभा सदस्यमा निर्वाचित नेत्री आचार्य ०५५ मा कांग्रेस सभापति गिरिजाप्रसाद कोइरालाको नेतृत्वमा गठन भएको सरकारमा उपप्रधानमन्त्रीका रूपमा सहभागी भएकी थिइन् ।नेपालको पहिलो उपप्रधानमन्त्रीसहितको जलस्रोत मन्त्रालयको जिम्मेवारी उनले सम्हालेकी थिइन् । ०५३ मा भएको कांग्रेसको नवौं महाधिवेशनपछि आचार्यले उपसभापति भएर काम गरेकी थिइन् । त्यतिवेला पार्टीभित्र उनको उच्च साख रहे पनि ०५६ को निर्वाचनमा भने उनी मोरङ- ७ बाट पराजित हुन पुगिन् । नेत्री आचार्य राजाको प्रत्यक्ष शासनको समयमा भने केही विवादित देखिइन् । 'राजा र दलहरू मिलेर जानुपर्छ' भन्ने उनको सार्वजनिक अभिव्यक्ति वामपन्थी खेमाबाट आलोचित भयो नै, पार्टीभित्रै पनि शैलजालाई 'राजावादी' भनेर कर्नरमा पार्न थालियो । यसले नेत्री आचार्यको राजनीतिक छवि क्रमशः गुमनामजस्तै बन्दै गयो ।०६२/६३ को आन्दोलनपछि गठन भएको गिरिजाप्रसाद कोइरालाको नेतृत्वको सरकारले उनलाई नेपालका लागि भारतको राजदूत बनाएर पठाउने निर्णय गरेको थियो । तर, उनको स्वास्थ्यमा अचानक समस्या देखिएपछि उनले सो जिम्मेवारी भने पूरा गर्न सकिनन् । ०६४ पुसमा फोक्सोमा निमोनिया देखियो । उनी शिक्षण अस्पतालमा भर्ना भइन् । तर, डाक्टरहरूले उनको उपचार शिक्षण अस्पतालमा सम्भव नहुने बताएपछि उनलाई थप उपचारका लागि थाइल्यान्ड पुर्याइएको थियो । अचेत अवस्थामा थाइल्यान्डको बुमराङगाड अस्पताल पुर्याएकी महिला नेत्री आचार्यलाई नौ महिनापछि २३ फागुनमा नेपाल फर्काएर शिक्षण अस्पताल पुर्याएको थियो । केही दिनको उपचारपछि उनलाई २० वैशाखमा घर फर्काइएको थियो । तर, उनको गुमेको आवाज भने आउन सकेको थिएन । टे्रड युनियन कांग्रेसका अध्यक्ष लक्ष्मण बस्नेतको मित्रपार्कस्थित घरमा ८८ वषर्ीया आमा इन्दिरासँग बस्दै आएकी नेत्री आचार्यको सिंगो जीवन संघर्षपूर्ण थियो
रोग र औषधिबारे विवाद नेत्री आचार्यको आवाज मात्र होइन, उनलाई लागेको रोगका बारेमा समेत विभिन्न भनाइहरू सार्वजनिक भए । अल्जाइमर्स नामक रोगबाट पीडित भनिए पनि मानसिक तनाव कम गर्न प्रयोग हुने 'एन्टिसाइकेटिक' औषधिको निरन्तर सेवनका कारण नेत्री आचार्यको बोल्ने क्षमता गुमेको चिकित्सकहरूको दाबी थियो । नेत्री आचार्यलाई सो औषधि सेवन गर्न कसले सिफारिस गर्यो भन्ने पत्ता लाग्न सकेन नै ।'एन्टिसाइकेटिक'का कारण उनको मस्तिष्कमा नकारात्मक असर परेको उपचारमा संलग्न चिकित्सकले निष्कर्ष निकालेका थिए । नेत्री आचार्यले मानसिक तनाव बढी भएको वेलामा कुनै औषधि नियमित खाने गरेको स्वीकार गरेको उनलाई उद्धृत गर्दै उनका आफन्तले बताएका थिए । 'नाम उल्लेख नगर्नुहोस् है' भन्दै शैलजाका परिवारका एक सदस्यले २९ फागुनमा नयाँ पत्रिकासँग भनेका थिए, 'सो औषधि उहाँको उपचारमा संलग्न डाक्टरहरूले पनि नदिएको बताएका छन् ।' झन्डै डेढ वर्षअघि दिल्लीमा उपचार गरेर घर फर्किएपछि उनको कोठामा मानसिक तनाव कम गर्ने औषधिको पोका नै फेला परेको उनको पारिवारिक स्रोतले जानकारी दिएको थियो । परिवारका ती सदस्यले भने, 'नेपालमा उनको स्वास्थ्य सुधारोन्मुख हुँदाहुँदै उनलाई कसले उपचारका लागि दिल्ली पठायो, यो रहस्य त्यहीँबाट सुरु भएको हुनुपर्छ ।' तर, त्यो रहस्य अब खुल्छ कि खुल्दैन त्यो भने यसै भन्न सकिँदैन । 'बैंककमा एक न्युरो चिकित्सकले त्यही औषधिले बोली नियन्त्रण गर्ने दिमागको नसामा नकारात्मक प्रभाव पारेको बतायो,' नेत्री आचार्यकी छिमेकी तथा पूर्वराज्यमन्त्री डा. दुर्गा पोखरेलले भनिन्, 'स्पिच थेरापिष्टले आचार्यलाई बोलाउने प्रयास गर्दा बोली नै फुटेन । उसले पनि त्यही औषधिका कारण बोली बन्द भएको बतायो ।' राजनीतिक कारणले उनमा डिप्रेसन आएको सोही समयमा उनलाई त्यो औषधि कसैले सेवन गर्न दिएका थिए ।उनको सम्पूर्ण उपचार खर्च भने सरकारले बेहोर्यो ।
घुमुवा प्रहरीको ध्यान 'पोका' तिर
घुमुवा प्रहरीको ध्यान 'पोका' तिर
बाँके, १ असार भारतीय नाकाबाट हुने आपराधिक गतिविधि नियन्त्रण गर्न नेपालगन्ज भन्सार कार्यालय आसपास 'सिभिल' मा खटिएका घुमुवा प्रहरी आफ्नो जिम्मेवारी छोडेर 'पोका' तिर ध्यान दिन थालेका छन् । हातहतियार नेपाल भित्रिन नदिन, चोरीनिकासी रोक्न र सम्भावित हिंसात्मक गतिविधिबारे सुराकी गर्न नेपालगन्ज भन्सार कार्यालयआसपास करिब दुई दर्जन घुमुवा प्रहरी खटाइएका छन् । भारतको रुपैडिहा बजारबाट ल्याइने सामानको चेकजाँचका लागि 'युनिर्फम' मा सशस्त्र, जनपद प्रहरी खटाइएका छन् । साथै, बाटामा चेकजाँचका लागि भन्सारका कर्मचारी पनि राखिएका छन् । तर, उनीहरूलाई उछिन्दै घुमुवा प्रहरीले नेपालगन्ज-रुपैडिहा बजार ओहरदोहोर गर्नेले ल्याएका पोका चेकजाँच गर्ने गरेका छन् । आफू 'घुमुवा प्रहरी' भएको परिचय दिँदै उनीहरूले भन्सारका कर्मचारीलाई समेत धम्काउने गरेको एक कर्मचारीले बताए । 'भन्सार आसपास आफूलाई 'घुमुवा' प्रहरी भन्नेहरूको आतंक छ,' नेपालगन्ज भन्सार कार्यालयका एक कर्मचारीले भने, 'उनीहरू गलत क्रियाकलापको सूचना संकलन गर्नुको साटो पोकातिर ध्यान दिन्छन् ।' त्यसो नगर्न अनुरोध गर्दा घुमुवा प्रहरीले भन्सार कर्मचारीलाई घुस लिएको अभियोगमा प्रक्राउ गरी कारबाही गर्ने धम्की दिने गरेको ती कर्मचारीले बताए । 'बोल्न हुन्न, धम्काइहाल्छन्,' उनले भने । भन्सार कार्यालयआसपासका क्षेत्रमा शंकास्पद गतिविधिबारे सूचना संकलन गर्ने उद्देश्यले अनुसन्धान, जिल्ला प्रहरी र सशस्त्र प्रहरीका दुई दर्जन घुमुवा प्रहरी खटाइएका छन् । नेपालगन्ज भन्सार कार्यालयका भन्सार अधिकृत श्यामप्रसाद पाण्डेले भन्सार असुलीमा घुमुवा प्रहरीको कुनै भूमिका नदेखिएको प्रतिक्रिया दिए । उनले भने, 'आफूलाई घुमुवा प्रहरी भएको दाबी गर्नेहरू हुनसक्ने आपराधिक गतिविधिको सूचना संकलन गर्न छोडेर पोका, बोरा चेकजाँच गरिरहेका हुन्छन् ।' 'भन्सार राजस्वमा वृद्धि गराउन भनेर भन्सारमा घुमुवा खटाइएका छन् । तर, यसको प्रभाव भने अहिलेसम्म देखिएको छैन,' उनले थपे । उनीहरूको यस्तो व्यवहारले सर्वसाधारण दोहोरो चेकजाँचको मारमा पर्ने गरेका छन् । त्यसैगरी भारतबाट नेपालमा हातहतियार र विस्फोटक पदार्थ पनि भित्रिने गरेको छ । केही दिनअघि मात्र लुटपाटमा संलग्न भएको अभियोगमा पक्राउ परेका व्यक्तिले फलफूलको डब्बामा राखेर इटालियन पेस्तोल भारतबाट नेपाल ल्याएको खुलासा गरेका थिए । भारतको रुपैडिहादेखि नेपालगन्ज बजार आउने क्रममा जनपद तथा सशस्त्र प्रहरीले ६ स्थानमा चेकपोस्ट राखेका छन् । यता, बाँकेका प्रमुख जिल्ला अधिकारी वीरेन्द्र बानियाँले सशस्त्र गतिविधिमा संलग्न समूह र हातहतियार भित्रिन नदिन व्यापक रूपमा घुमुवा प्रहरी तैनाथ गरेको जानकारी दिए । उनले कोही कसैले घुमुवा प्रहरीको हवाला दिएर गलत कार्य गरेका भए त्यसबारे सीधै आफूकहाँ उजुरी गर्न आग्रह गरेका छन् । 'गलत काम गर्ने घुमुवा प्रहरीलाई कारबाही हुन्छ । उसको नाम दिनुस्,' प्रमुख जिल्ला अधिकारी बानियाँले भने ।

The Truth About Life Insurance
Myth: Cash value life insurance, like whole life, will help me retire wealthy.Truth: Cash value life insurance is one of the worst financial products available.Sadly, over 70% of the life insurance policies sold today are cash value policies. A cash value policy is an insurance product that packages insurance and savings together. Do not invest money in life insurance; the returns are HORRIBLE. Your insurance person will show you wonderful projections, but none of these policies perform as projected.
Example of Cash ValueIf a 30-year-old man has $100 per month to spend on life insurance and shops the top 5 cash value companies, he will find he can purchase an average of $125,000 in insurance for his family. The pitch is to get a policy that will build up savings for retirement, which is what a cash value policy does. However, if this same guy purchases 20-year-level term insurance with coverage of $125,000, the cost will be only $7 per month, not $100.
WOW! If he goes with the cash value option, the other $93 per month should be in savings, right? Well, not really; you see, there are expenses.
Expenses? How much?
All of the $93 per month disappears in commissions and expenses for the first 3 years. After that, the return will average 2.6% per year for whole life, 4.2% for universal life, and 7.4% for the new-and-improved variable life policy that includes mutual funds, according to Consumer Federation of America, Kiplinger's Personal Finance

Permanent life insurance
Permanent life insurance is a form of life insurance such as whole life or endowment, where the policy is for the life of the insured, the payout is assured at the end of the policy (assuming the policy is kept current) and the policy accrues cash value.
This is compared with Term life insurance where insurance is purchased for a specified period (typically a year, or for level periods such as 5, 10, 15, 20 even 25 and 30 years) where a death benefit is only paid to the beneficiary if the insured dies during the specified period.
Permanent life insurance originally was offered as a fixed premium fixed return product known as whole life insurance also known as cash surrender life insurance. This offered consumers guaranteed cash value accumulation and a consistent premium. Consumers later wanted more flexibility which was offered in the form of universal life insurance. Universal life insurance allows consumers flexibility in when premiums are to be paid and the amount that they would be. Universal life policies also allowed consumers to permanently withdraw cash from the policy without the interest associated with the loan provisions in whole life policies. Universal life policies retained the fixed investment performance of whole life policies. Variable life insurance follows the mold of whole or universal life, but it shifts the investment risk to the consumer along with the potential for greater returns. Variable universal life insurance combines this with the flexibility in premium structure of universal life to create the most free form option for consumers to manage their own money (at their own risk). Variable universal life insurance policies are considered more favorable to other permanent life insurance alternatives due to the favorable tax treatment of all permanent life insurance policies and their potential for greater returns than other permanent life insurance products

बढ्दै छन् विद्यार्थी र कलेज
ए लेभलको आकर्षण नेपालमा पनि बढ्दो क्रममा छ । यो कोर्स सन १९८६ मा २१ जना विद्यार्थीबाट नेपालमा सुरु भएको थियो । वेलायतको क्याम्बि्रज युनिभर्सिटिको यो कोर्स सञ्चालन गर्ने शिक्षण संस्थाको संख्या मात्रै पनि नेपालमा दुई दर्जन पुगेको छ । पहिलो पटक बुढानिलकण्ठ स्कुलले क्याम्बि्रज युनिभर्सिटिको सम्बन्धन लिएर नेपालमा सन् १९८६ मा ए लेभल कोर्ष पढाउन सुरु गरेको थियो । त्यतिबेला २१ जना विद्यार्थी ए लेभलमा भर्ना भएका थिए । बुढानीलकण्ठ स्कूलले दिएको जानकारीअनुसार पहिलो व्याचमा १९ जना विद्यार्थी उत्तीर्ण भएका थिए ।हाल शिक्षा मन्त्रालयको स्वीकृतिमा देशभरका दुई दर्जन संस्थाले ए लेभल कक्षा सञ्चालन गरेका छन् । क्याम्बि्रज एजुकेटर्स एशोसिएसन इन नेपाल (सिआन)का अध्यक्ष सुधीरकुमार झाका अनुसार अहिले नेपालमा ए लेभल पढ्ने विद्यार्थीको संख्या एक हजार पाँच सय पुगेको छ । वर्षौदेखि माध्यमिक शिक्षा र प्लस टु सञ्चालन गरिआएका विद्यालयरूले पनि 'विद्यार्थीको आकर्षण बढेको' भन्दै ए लेभल कोर्ष सञ्चालन गर्न थालेका छन् ।सरकारले २०५९ मा विदेशी शिक्षण संस्थाको सम्बन्धनमा उच्च शिक्षा सञ्चालनसम्बन्धी एक निर्देशिका तयार गरेको थियो । विदेशी शिक्षण संस्थाको सम्बन्धन लिएर नेपालमा सञ्चालन गरिने शिक्षण संस्थालाई व्यवस्थित र नियमित तुल्याउन सरकारले सो निर्देशिका ल्याएको हो । २०६१ यता ए लेभल पढाउनका लागि शिक्षा मन्त्रालयबाट अनुमति लिने संस्थाको संख्या दुई दर्जन पुगेको छ । निर्देशिका बन्नु अगाडि नेपालका शिक्षण संस्थाहरूले विदेशी संस्थाबाट सम्बन्धन लिएर कक्षा सञ्चालन गर्दै आएका थिए । नेपालको प्रमाणपत्र तह वा प्लस टु सरहको पाठ्यक्रम हो ए लेभल । कतिपय विषयका विषयवस्तुहरूले मेल खाए तापनि तर ए लेभल र अन्य कोर्सको अध्ययनविधि भने निकै फरक देखिन्छ । सबैभन्दा पुरानो ए लेभल पढाउने संस्था बुढानीलकण्ठ स्कुलका पि्रन्सिपल नारायणप्रसाद शर्माका अनुसार अन्य कोर्समा घोकेर पनि विद्यार्थीले विशिष्ट श्रेणीको नतिजा हासिल गर्न सक्छन्, तर ए लेभलमा घोकेर नहुने तर बुझ्नैपर्ने पर्छ । त्रिभुवन विश्वविद्यालयले यस कोर्सलाई प्रमाणपत्र सरह मान्यो र ग्रेडअनुसार प्रतिशत तोक्यो ।' सुरुका वर्षको अनुभव सुनाउँदै शर्माले भने । त्रिविले ए लेभलको ए ग्रेडलाई ९५, बिलाई ८५, सिलाई ७५, डि र इ लाई ५५ प्रतिशत सरह मान्यता दिएको छ । 'ए लेभल विश्वव्यापी छ, यो कोर्सर् समयअनुसार परिवर्तन भइरहन्छ, व्यवहारमुखी छ र यसले विद्यार्थीलाई सिर्जनशील बनाउँछ, क्याम्बि्रज एजुकेटर्स एशोसिएसन इन नेपालका अध्यक्ष सुधीरकुमार झा भन्छन्, 'एक त यसमा विद्यार्थीले मन लागेको विषय छान्न पाउँछ । दोस्रो यसमा ग्रेड प्रणाली छ । विश्वका जुनसुकै विश्वविद्यालयमा आवेदन गर्न र छात्रवृत्ति पाउन सकिन्छ । विद्यार्थीले आफ्नो ग्रेड सुधार्ने मौका समेत पाउँछन् ।'ए लेभलमा क्याम्बि्रज विश्वविद्यालयले ७० वटा विषय राखेको छ । तीमध्ये नेपालमा १५ विषयमा पढाई भइरहेको छ । विद्यार्थीले चार वटा विषय छान्न पाउँछन् तर नेपालको लागि 'जेनेरल पेपर' अर्थात सामान्य विषय सबैले पढ्नुपर्छ । काठमाडौंको वृहस्पति विद्यासदन जस्ता वर्षौदेखि माध्यमिक तह तथा प्लस टु सञ्चालन गरेका शिक्षण संस्थाले विद्यार्थीको माग बढेको भन्दै धमाधम ए लेभल कक्षा सञ्चालन गर्न थालेका छन् । वृहस्पति विद्यासदन स्थापना भएको २५ वर्ष भएको छ र त्यहाँ प्लस टु पनि सञ्चालित छ । गत वर्षदेखि ए लेभल कक्षा सञ्चालन गरेको सो विद्यालयका इन्चार्ज सन्दीप लोहनी भन्छन्, 'ए लेभल खोज्दै विद्यार्थीहरूको ओइरो लाग्न थालेपछि अघिल्लो वर्षबाट सुरु गरेका हौं ।' राजधानीकै अर्को शिक्षण संस्था जेम्स स्कुलका ए लेभल को-अर्डिनेटर राजेन्द्र घिसिङका अनुसार सो स्कूलमा माध्यमिक तह र प्लस टु हुँदा हुदै पनि विद्यार्थीको आवश्यकता र चाहनालाई ध्यानमा राखेर ए लेभल सञ्चालन गरिएको हो । उनप् भन्छन्, 'यस स्कुलमा एलएलसी दिनेको संख्या दुईदेखि तीन सयसम्म हुन्छ । एसएलसी दिने विद्यार्थीमध्ये चालीस प्रतिशतले ए लेभल पढ्न खोजेको पायौं । विद्यार्थीले चाहेपछि जहाँ गएर पनि पढ्ने हुनाले यही अवसर दियौं । सुरुमा बुढानीलकण्ठ, काठमाडौं एकेडेमीलगायतका पुराना संस्थाहरुमा ओ लेभल पढेपछिमात्र ए लेभलमा भर्ना लिने चलन थियो । ओ लेभल नेपालको एसएलसी सरह हो । बुढानीलकण्ठ स्कुलका पि्रन्सिपल शर्मा भन्छन्, 'ओ लेभल एलएलसी लेभल सरह भए पनि एक वर्ष ओ लेभल पढ्नै पर्ने बाध्यता थियो, पछि यसको आवश्यकता नठानेर हटायौं ।' बुढानीलकण्ठ स्कुलले सन २००४ बाट मात्र ओ लेभल हटाएर एसएलसी पास भएका विद्यार्थीलाई ए लेभलमा भर्ना दिन थालेको हो । ए लेभल पढ्नका लागि आवेदन दिनेको संख्या धेरै भए पनि स्रोतसाधनको सीमितताका कारण नेपालका शिक्षण संस्थाले चाहे जति भर्ना लिन सक्दैनन् । यो कोर्स व्यवहारमुखी हुने, विद्यार्थीले बुझ्नु पर्ने र प्रयोगशाला, पुस्तकालय आदि सुविधा दिनुपर्ने भएकाले चाहे जति संख्यामा भर्ना लिन सकिदैन । अधिकांश सञ्चालकहरू ए लेभलमा विद्यार्थीको 'कलेक्सन' भन्दा 'सेलेक्सन' बढी गर्नुपर्ने धारणा राख्छन् । घोकन्ते विद्यार्थीका लागि ए लेभल त्यति फलदायी नभएको त्यस्ता सञ्चालकको भनाइ छ ।ए लेभल पढ्दै गरेकी दीपिका सोतिमा अहिले निकै उत्सुकता देखिएको छ । 'ए लेभल पढ्न मलाई खुब मजा लगिरहेको छ, सोती भन्छिन, 'यो पढेर मलाई विदेशी विद्यार्थीहरूसँग सजिलै प्रतिष्पर्धा गर्न सकिन्छ भन्ने विश्वासा बढेको छ ।' दश कक्षा पढ्दैदेखि बुबाले घरमा ए लेभलबारे कुरा गरिरहने र एसएलसी परिक्षा सकेपछि यहि कोर्ष पढ्न सुझाव आएकाले उनी भर्ना भएकी थिइन् । अनुभव सुनाउदै भनिन, 'यसमा प्रबिधिक कुरा धेरै हुन्छ । जसले गर्दा पढेको कुरा सजिलै सम्झन सकिने रहेछ ।'फेरियो पुरानो धारणानेपालमा ए लेभलले प्रवेश पाएका केही वर्षसम्म यसप्रति कतिपय मानिसको धारणा त्यति सकारात्मक थिएन । त्यस्ताहरूको मान्यता थियो- फेल भइरहने र अरु पढ्न नसक्ने विद्यार्थीले मात्र ए लेभल पढ्छन् । शर्मा भन्छन्, 'बाहिर कतिपयले यो कोर्स फेल भएकाहरूले पढ्ने कोर्स हो समेत भन्ने गर्थे तर हाम्रो स्कुलमा त यहीँ पढेका विद्यार्थीहरू नै ए लेभलसम्म पढ्थे ।' पुरानो धारणा बदलिएपछि नेपाली विद्यार्थीले सर्वोकृष्ट नतिजा ल्याउन थालेको क्याम्बि्रज एजुकेटर्स एशोसिएसन इन नेपाल (सिआन)का अध्यक्ष झा बताउँछन् । 'पाँच/छ वर्ष अघिसम्म अधिकांश लाहुरेका छोराछोरीले ए लेभल पढ्ने गर्थे' सिआनका अध्यक्ष झाले भने, 'पछि ए लेभलको विशेषता धेरैलाई थाहा भयो, सबैले पढ्न थालेपछि नेपाली विद्यार्थी संसारमै सर्वोकृष्ट हुन थाले ।' 'सबैभन्दा सस्तो नेपालमा'संसारभर पढाई हुने क्याम्बि्रज युनिभर्सिटिको ए लेभल कोर्स नेपालमा सबैभन्दा सस्तो हुने कलेज सञ्चालकहरुले दावी गरेका छन् । सामान्यतः ए लेभल पढ्नका लागि नेपालमा करीब साढे दुई लाख रुपियाँ खर्च हुन्छ । भारत लगायत अन्य कतिपय देशको तुलनामा यो रकम धेरै कम हो । झा भन्छन्- 'ए लेभल पढ्नका लागि विश्वका भारत लगायत अन्य ७० देशमध्ये सबैभन्दा सस्तो नेपालमा छ ।' शान्ति सुरक्षाको प्रत्याभूतिका साथ लगानी सुरक्षित गर्न सक्ने हो भने विदेशी विद्यार्थीलाई सुविधा दिन सक्ने झाको दावी छ ।
