Drupal Upgrade to 6.9 requires the MySQL Data Base be 5.0 or later version. You may have trouble with Unicode Nepali Fonts. If you see ?? codes, then reset the DB by the following command:

ALTER DATABASE [database name] DEFAULT CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_general_ci;

To make it sure, it is better to run it at the beginning of the PHP import dB command and also at the end.

All the best.

Vote for Nepali Congress: Vote for Democracy. If you don't like Nepali Congress, then don't vote for CPN (Maoists), then vote for CPN (UML) or even Pashupati Shamsher Rana's Party is fine.

Why ? Nepali Congress may not be a perfect democratic party, but it is the only best democratic party among the available political parties. Even the god is not perfect, even the nature is not perfect, even we are not perfect, and our multiparty democracy system is not perfect, how come Nepali Congress Party be perfect. But within the available political parties, this is the best option we have on the table.

Well, UML is not a bad idea if you really really don't like Nepali Congress Party. It is a moderate communist party, and it was not doing that good in street show off biz before current mess started in Nepal in 2001 June in the aftermath of Late King Birendra Family Massacre. In these 7 years, UML has learned a great lessons, and most importantly they have virtually stopped harming public utlities e.g. rail breaking, to dismantly of telephone booths. They might have realized that CPN(Maoist) has a lead role in such activities, and they (UML) realized that this is not what public like when they watched CPN-Maoists doing all sorts of things, and UML turned itself into a WatchDog position. Great Job, UML. Therefore, publics who are frustrated with Nepali Congress Party, UML is a right choice, and if you consider the UML is not different from NC, then go for Pashupati Shamsher Rana's Party. But never ever vote to Maoists, don't forget they killed 15,000 Nepalis for what ? to make their election moto "Make Prachanda President of Nepal". What happened to their making Nepal a better? Their main agenda is "Make Prachanda President of Nepal".

Prachanda and Gabbar Singh in Sholay are not different. If you bring Prachanda and his party to power, he will never let another election happen. Do you remember that he was telling fairy tail of having another Junga Bahadur Rana as a new Adhinayakbadh ... blah blah ....? What does it mean, he is a hardline communist, he won't let another election happen in next 5 years or so. Communists are genetically like that, it is like a dog gives birth to new dog, it will bark no matter where it borns, and a communist will do the same thing: never let another open democracy (multiparty based) election to happen. Yes, communists also have elctions, but it is not different from Gau Farka type of elections, where multi-party system has no space.

Thats it for today. Remember vote for Nepali Congress Party's candidates, and if you don't like this party for some reason, then vote for UML, but don't vote for CPN-Maoists in any case, and if you really hate these two NC and UML candidates in your area, then either don't vote at all, or vote for some other weaker parties but never ever for CPN-Maoists.

Thank all.

Everything is possible by yourself,
Do work hard, you need not any help.

Many are there to stop your way,
If you have spirit, everything will go away

A teacher, a guide and good are always with u ,
So why you are mis guided, cheer up Hay!

Nepalis Without Borders (NWOB)'s special Press Bulletine

In 2004/05, when a Hawain reached to top 10 or so, then Hawai got united and voted the candidate for the American Idol. It is said that City office offered several telephone booths to make a phone call and vote for her. So, if such campaigning works in USA, and if it is acceptable in US' American Idol, then, we the members of Nepalese Without Borders (NWOB) do not think that it is unethical, and we believe it is acceptable in all standards to support the candidate of our choice in such competitive world.

In this campaign, we are recommending / requesting all those member of our Nepalese community around the world to vote for Mr. Prashant Tamang for the Indian Idol in the TV Program. We the members of NWOB do not force anyone to vote Mr. Tamang, just because he is a singer of Nepali ethnic background, but we suggest you to first spend sometime watching his previous programs, and the current program presentations he and other fellow competitors are making.

We, at NWOB, believe that if you spend sometime watching his previous competitions, and current one as well, you will certainly like his presentations, and you will be excited to be part of this campaign to vote him for the Indian Idol.

If you like him and his presentations, please suggest others to watch his programs, and suggest them to watch the next in series, and request them to vote him for the Indian Idol title provided the voter likes him, and we are confident that anyone who watch his presentation will like him no matter who he or she is.

After Danny Dong, Udit Narayan Jha, his Son, and Manisha Koirala's debut in Indian celebrity list, Mr. Prashant Tamang's appearance is a big pride to all members of Nepalis Without Borders (NWOB).

Please pass this posting or its URL to as many Nepalese as possible.

We the members of NWOB wish Mr. Tamang for a great success in the next round as well, and we extend our heartfelt congratulations to him, and thanks to all those supporters and fans of Mr. Tamang whose votes and moral support provided him a boost to move him forward with confidence.

P.S.: We at NWOB will use Nepalis instead of Nepalese, because Nepalese widely means citizen of Nepal, while Nepali refers to the people of Nepali Ethnic Background. In Nepalis Without Borders, we refer to all members who are of Nepalis Ethnic Background living around the world where citizenship "National Border" is not an important factor, and that is why we are having this community named: "Nepalis Without Borders (NWOB)".

We have just initiated a group of Nepalis around the world, and named it as: Nepalis Without Borders or Nepalese Without Borders (NWOB). Mr. P. Pokharel, originally from Pokhara, and currently from Japan has was interested for a long time in creating a web forum where we can accomodate more Nepalis living around world without identifying where they live, and what they do. He contacted me, The admin of Pokhara.com, and requested to look for a great name that can provide a platform to all Nepalis living around the world without considering the national border where they live. I believe that the name "The Nepalese Without Border (NWOB)" is so unique that it will accomodate all of us.

Now, we are looking for dedicated fellow Nepalis to join the adhoc committee to formalize this brilliant concept into reality. I have just requested my webhosting company to initiate a registration of domain name: NWOB.org, so that we can present ourselves in Internet via this website.

If you have any suggestions, ideas, and interest to participate in this forum, we would like to hear / get feedback via email or this forum. For your emails, please send them to eNepal@Gmail.com

We will be looking forward to hearing your participation so that we can make are dream come true.

I wish you have a great summer vacation.

What happens when a Donkey learns to read and write?

A person with nick-name "Texas Student" wrote in a forum that The Donkey becomes a "communist".

Do you believe it? Of course, right?

How do you identify a dictator? A person who sees every thing only black and white, and is literally a color blind. Examples: Communist Leaders around the world. Anyone who is not on their side is feudal, and an element of reactionary forces.

No one from a political party can pass "lie" test, what is that political party? That is certainly a Communist Party.

What makes you speak or give a political speech for hours without a break? You must be communist to give speech for hours, and the audience must be either Donkey or communist milisia.

What is another name for ransom within the communist people's community? That is "Donation".

What is another name for kidnapping of person within the communist comrades? The is given very high security because he unsafe? Unsafe from whom?

Enjoy it. If you know some other formulas behind a communist, please add here.

भिजिट पोखराको बजेट दुरुपयोग

The news published at NepalNews.com looks so phisy that such a huge chunk of money was wasted in the name of ad boards, and other stuffs. Unfortunately, there was no official ad running neither in our popular websites at Pokhara.com, Pokhara.org, and Pokhara.biz or PokharaCity.com. If these websites do not get any official request for advertising or posting the Visit Pokhara Year 2007, then the officials at Nepal Tourism Board are just GWAKH, that is it. They should be sacked. We are not asking for the PAID ad, but they would have atleast asked us to run an ad or notice, and paid or unpaid ad is not an issue here, it is about recognizing the gravity of the Internet Generation. If you want to know about Pokhara via Google or Yahoo searches, even a dumb person will have first guess on Pokhara.com or PokharaCity.com.

In the past, I had several time sent emails to Pokhara Chamber of Commerce official email address that if you want I can transfer Pokhara.org domainname to your ownership so that it can help biz in Pokhara. I never got any replies. So, do not put blame on the Pokhara.com or Pokhara.org owner for not having enough contents related to Visit Pokhara Year. I am not going to run the items without proper acknowledgement if it is not my original. I don't like running a few post card scanned pictures, or digital pictures, because I need more concrete official information on Pokhara so that I can cite them the source of these information. Well, as step forward to systematize, we have tried to systematize the street numers in Pokhara via Google Earth, so that we can reach every house in Pokhara without a waste of minute. Unfortunately, we don't have any official map of Pokhara. Tourism board is wasting money in preparing hoax posters.

Well, parts of some articles published elsewhere are posted in this website, but we have always mentioned the source to inform our viewers that the article does not belong to us. We can not simply bring Visit Pokhara Year logo from somewhere, and run it here without their permission. We support intellectual property rights of original owners. So, I am not going to NTB, and put a request them to allow me to run their VPY 2007 logo or ad. It is not our job, it is why NTB was there for.

In fact, we did not agree such hurried announcements of Visit P7.... Year announcements without enough preparations. So, I do not think that it is going to help Pokhareli Tourism Operators nor to Pokhareli Biz, because of such defective VPY 2007 preparations. We have clarified our stand in PokharaCity.com's open forum when the topic was discussed sometime ago.

We certainly understand the Japanese Proverb, you don't kill fish if you don't want to eat, but if you kill it, you must eat it. So, we are ready to help based on what we have in our hand provided the responsible authority steps forward and tells us what they want us to do to make this VPY 7 a success.

We are just wondering whether our VPY 2007 organizers know what is VPY2007 success, and how would they measure the success? Did they define success in this program? I asked this question via PokharaCity.com's open forum, but I was not sure whether Mr. Basu Tripathy, the coordinator of VPY2007 knows the mission, goals / objectives of VPY2007. So, it looked to me more an emotional program, then a real well planned program. Thus, 6 months passed, and we have not heard any official mission, objectives, goals, and plans to achieve success, and top of that I am still asking the question: what is success in VPY 2007? How do you measure it? Wasting 50 lakhs of tax payers money ? If not what?

Anyway, Nepal Tourism Board is a place where you make fake posters (do you remember the posters they made in around 2000), so much hoaxed. A friend of mine who worked in the project said that they got that job via Chakadi to a Minister's PA and his relatives, because they were not getting in straight bid to the contract. That kind of system still exists, and this time the 50 lakh rupees were JHWAM in the name of boards, posters, and other stuffs. I am sorry for Pokhara Visit Year Coordinater Mr. Tripathi. You had 15 minute fame because you got the position, but I am not sure whether you will be remembered as a successful person, or just another person who was seeking to occupy public position to have 15 minute fame. I know very well that you wanted to do some good thing via this position, but question still lingers in my mind was that the VPY announcement was not in right time, and the team that you have might not be a right team. So, you have failed to define mission, objectives, goals and plans pertaining to VPY 2007 in time, and failed to define the success of VPY2007, and also not sure whether you know what is success in this VPY7 program. In Japanese, it is called MAJIMENI YATTERU: garna ta khojeko tara ke garne ra kasari garne bhanne nai thaha chhaina, gari rako rako rako chha, tara ke gareo chha ra kina gari raheko chha thahai chhaina. So, another Japanese Proverb will help you: Vision without action is day dream, and Action without vision is nightmare. VPY 2007 lacks both vision and action.

प्रतिबन्ध वाईसीएल कि फोरममाथि ? (Due acknowledgement to Deshantar).

काठमाडौं । माओवादीको भातृ संगठन वाईसीएलको आतंकबाट पीडित आमजनसमुदायमा यतिखेर एउटा प्रश्न उब्जिएको छ- प्रतिबन्ध कसलाई लगाउने माओवादीले मधेसी जनअधिकार फोरममाथि प्रतिबन्ध लगाउन प्रस्ताव अघि सारेपछि यस्तो प्रश्न उब्जिएको हो ।

माओवादीको केन्द्रीय सचिवालय बैठकमा फोरमलाई प्रतिबन्ध लगाउन तयार भएको प्रस्तावमाथि छलफल चलिरहेको छ भने यता सर्वसाधारण जनता वाईसीएलमाथि प्रतिबन्ध लगाउन माग गरिरहेका छन् । व्यक्ति अपहरण धम्की चन्दा आतंकदेखि भौतिक कार्बाही माओवादी

वाईसीएलको परिचय बनेको छ । व्यक्ति अपहरण गरेर रकम असुल गर्ने र रकम प्राप्त नभए एक दुई रात आफूसँग नियन्त्रणमा राखेर निकायलाई बुझाएर साखुल्ले हुने गरेको कामलाई नेपाली समाजले आपराधिक कार्य मानेका छन् । त्यस्तो काम गर्नेलाई प्रतिबन्ध लाग्नुपर्ने हो कि सबै दलले जायज भनेको तराईका समस्यालाई राजनैतिक रुपबाट उठाउँदै आएको फोरम प्रतिबन्धको भागी हो भन्ने जनमत गरियो भने सम्भवतः प्रतिबन्धको पहिलो सूचीमा वाईसीएल पर्नेछ । राष्ट्रमा मात्र होइन अन्तरर्राष्ट्रिय क्षेत्रमा समेत वाईसीएल त्यही रुपले चिनिँदैछ । पछिल्लोपटक अमेरिकी सहायक विदेशमन्त्रीले प्रेस सम्मेलन नै गरेर वाईसीएल गैर राजनीतिक िहंसा डर र आतंकबाट राजनीतिक अभीष्ट सिद्ध गर्न लागिरहेको संस्था भनी परिचय गराएका थिए । वाईसीएलका यस्ता आतंककै कारण माओवादी कार्यकर्ता मारिइरहँदा पनि आमनागरिकमा माओवादीप्रति सहानुभूति प्रकट भएको नपाइनु जनमानसमा वाईसीएल कुन रुपमा परिचित रहेछ भन्ने प्रष्ट हुन्छ ।

माओवादीको यो प्रस्तावमा मान्छेमा नै समूहलाई खुला छाड्न मिल्दैन तर त्यो निहुँबाट जुन संस्थालाई प्रतिबन्ध लगाउन प्रस्ताव भएको छ माओवादी कार्यकर्ता भने अर्कै समूह जो भूमिगत छ बाट मारिएका छन् । आफ्ना पूर्व कार्यकर्ता संलग्न भएको प्रतिशोधमा माओवादी यति आक्रोसित भएको त होइन भन्ने पनि प्रश्न उब्जिएको छ । तिनै प्रश्नभित्र प्रतिबन्ध लाग्नुपर्ने संस्थाका रुपमा वाईसीएल प्रथम सूचीमा जनताको मन र विचारमा अंकित भएको छ ।
