I will be born in 2039

Welcome, Dear Readers- Please do not get surprised, with the title of this column. I am no God, neither Spiritual Guru, nor Religious teacher or saint. I am just like you, Human being.

I am not born but wait a moment-do not get to the conclusion. You might be wondering, if this person is not born who wrote this column? What is that he is trying to prove? Well, there is nothing that author wants to prove or claim. It is just a simple joke.

Today, looking at the Nations situation- I think I will be born in 2039. Now this is not the entire story, with doom of Economy (Global, National or Regional) there is no point in living a life of jeopardy. We have seen the country ruled by Kings (Razas and Maharazas), We also have seen so called “Democracy” and currently, “Federal Democratic System” and “…” in near future.

There is no change in creation of Jobs, Security, Electricity, Economy and Transportation to name few. I do not blame our beloved Prime Ministers neither I blame all the top-executive Politicians; I blame myself; because I know I will be born in 2039.

Yesterday, I heard the news where, a young man who was just seventeen years old kills reportedly fifteen and then himself at a school in Germany. A friend of his told police today, that he was bullied by class mates, teachers for many years. When he wanted to speak to them (Teachers, friends, parents) no one listened to him. Personally, I feel what my friend Paul from Austria feels- The young Gunman was innocent simply because, no body listed to his anguish. The tragedy could have been avoidable if there was the presence of love in his life.

Children of today are treated like valueless and useless beings. The world depends on them and the future of the entire world is dependent on how we treat them today. This is a sad story and this is just the beginning- I think. As we can see everybody is busy in their own personal life and nobody wants to LISTEN to anybody, simply because we all have point to make and grow within the society.

Then a quote popped into my tiny little brain which states, “Love is integral part in human life, without the sense of its presence no human wants to live life in despair.”

Let me get back to your questions, one very good friend of mine named Teemu, from Finland asked, “Santosh-when were you born in your country?” This is a good question, I thought- and before making my statement open, I visualized that- “We are in 2065, even ending it soon”. Then, I replied him back with the smile on my face stating-“I will be born in 2039.”

5 simple steps to improve quality education system in Nepal

Needs for improvement never cease, looking at the current education system in our country there is much more room for improvements. Even though the steps that I am going to write at this column are just mere words but it would be helpful if one would implement it in near future. The five steps to improve education system in Nepal.

1. Provide monthly stipend to the entire student in the country.

All the humans who are registered either in public or private colleges should be given monthly stipend by the government or the university or any governing bodies. This might look a Hercules task at first but it surely is right way to improve the ongoing crisis in the education sector. There are very few students who are going to stay back and look for higher education in the country; everybody wants to visit foreign land for quality education, where the story for living and getting education in foreign country is not so easy. Therefore, when a student is provided a monthly stipend then he/she will get security for paying bills each month.

2. Health benefits from all the University to entire students

One of another vital factor in improving education could be health benefits for free. Being a student is one thing but being a healthy student is another. One has to go through different deadlines, schedules, projects and many such tasks. Therefore, the governing bodies should provide free health benefits to the entire student when they get enrolled by the colleges, university or schools for free.

3. Nepali ID System and 50% discounts for students on travelling by bus, flights, train or any such medium.

Nepalese ID system should be given by government to all those who are citizens of Nepal and also to the aliens studying in Nepal. The Nepalese ID system might contain DOB (Date of birth), Profession and Personal Information stored in central database of the state. This means, storage of information of entire population in Country in the Government Computer. One could develop Social Security System for everyone living and coming inside the country. It will help to track, validate and access information about the person at any given time. This could be huge project by the Government in Future. Currently the students get around 33% of the discounts from the travelling, it should be increased to 50%, this is to improve travelling budget by the student and it will ensure that student pays less expenses on travelling. At the same time, those who are not students they should be charged full amount of money.

4. Development of Government University (All private affiliated colleges should be half-owned by Government)

Most of the universities in Nepal are limited with resources and more students are found in private affiliated colleges to the university. These private affiliated colleges should be half-owned by the Government and less in number. It would be nice approach to reduce such affiliations and increase Universities. This might be very difficult task but it is certainly possible with mutual understanding from Private and Government top class officials. It would be good approach for the development if the country has 10 or 15 universities and no or very few affiliated colleges because it gives more learning ability, visibility, accountability and transparency among others.

5. Strict Use of Tax cuts to all the University, School and Colleges (Private or Public) and No tuition fee for the students.

It is nice approach to use the tax cuts for the schools, colleges and university either public or private. This is positive initiative taken by the Government. In addition, there should also be no tuition fee taken to domestic students inside the country. Those in Private Sector would look with eyes staring but they should reduce the amount of tuition fee from the family to give education. Although, these five steps sounds good these are not going to be implemented in practice. Simply because we do not want our children to give benefits and quality education, we just want to earn money from their family into ours. These statements might sound very strong but the fact is when would we listen to our heart and start thinking on how to improve education for our children’s? If we are waiting for right government and right model then we will wait and just wait. Nothing will change but if we are going to put the vision into reality by DOING SOMETHING NOW then we surely are going to make difference in our country’s education Systems.

Please share and comment on this article if you want to give insights and your own ideas. What do you think, Readers ?

Understanding Cyborgs

"Understanding Cyborgs", Cyborgs could be termed as combination of human intelligence and mechanical device. Cyborg theory was first created by Donna Haraways where she defines it as,

"The cyborg does not dream of community on the model of the organic family, this time without the oedipal project. The cyborg would not recognize the Garden of Eden; it is not made of mud and cannot dream of returning to dust." The theory of Cyborg asserts that technology as the artifacts of Cultural Revolution, very less comprise of material extension of material human body. [1]

There are no specific boundaries or separation from human or animals or machine.
It would be interesting to do research on this topic because, recently renowned oxford university neuroscientist Susan Greenfield believes that repeated exposure to Social networking web pages like Twiter, Facebook and computer games are vital factor which effect the human brain of young Childs. [2]

In similar study by Dr. Gary Small comments stating, “We know that technology is changing our lives, it’s also changing our brains.” Professor Greenfield states that, “technologies are infantilizing the brain into the state of small children who are attracted by buzzing noises and bright lights, which have a small attention span and live for the moment. It is hard to see how living this way on a daily basis will not result in brains, or rather minds, different from those of previous generations.”[3]

Therefore, I believe that it would be really fascinating to do research on human brain and technology at the same time. It would be interesting to see how people behave in a small group of community with the Internet technology.

Research should always be for wider audience and for the purpose of mankind. It would surely be benefited by children’s, young people and especially technology savvy. There is no doubt that children’s do develop differently because they develop through media, in the media environment in which they operate, but maybe research would try to focus more on positive aspect of discovering new ways in which we can use our brains?

Most important factors would be Parental accountability and awareness development through such kind of research. Although it looks more of theoretical work, additionally, there could be Qualitative research methods which could be used during such research work. Once the secret of understanding cyborg would be revealed, it would benefit the children’s and the future generations.

Definitely it would not be the only correct answer but it would surely give useful insights on current problems with the usage of technology in many different Internet applications.

Poem: Vanity at stake

******************************
Vanity at stake
******************************
Amazing creature at stake
Full of suprise and mistakes
With confirmation and solidarity
We can all learn how to give

Life is pain so is love
O thee, Pleasure in pain
Witch of East or West
True beauty lies in rest

Learning exits till the last breath
We all are Master’s of our own fate
Like the wind and the tree
Just dance with the flowing breeze

O thee, beauty isn’t it
Jesus, Allah and Krishna

Thee, God or Master’s of fate
Bible, Quran and Gita for prayers
Listen to you or around those who say
All inside you and your mirror self

Life is worth giving without fake
God bless the peacemakers, and all of
Humanity ! O thee, Wow what a wonderful
Poem which speaks of vanity at stake

Plot: Gloomy Sunday( The day after 14th of Feb, 2009) it is, when a man's love is preparing for her marriage and this young handsome man has decided to take away his life and to rest in peace.


************To Rest in Peace***************

My heart bleeds waiting for you
Maybe all my wishes and desires
Are tired of me, silent with me
I have decided my heart and me
To rest in peace,

Once, I had my life and you,
Nobody else, nothing except you.
Today, in fact, Gloomy Sunday it is.
You are preparing your marriage.
Me and my heart is preparing
To rest in peace,

Who cares, if I and my heart decide?
Maybe all your new wishes and desires
Will come true, with your new man
You have now given me, tears as my drink
And sorrow and sadness as my food
Me and my heart has decided
To rest in peace, Amen!

3 ways to protect the world.

1. Be truthful.
It does not mean, you should be truthful to your partner or in your job. Be truthful to yourself. Listen to your “inner voice” which will guide you to the other side. No body should teach you to be truthful but yourself. Be honest and truthful. Becuase once you start being truthful, all of objects around you will be attracted towards you. Believe me. You will be in different world all together.

2. Smile
To whom?, Smile at yourself. Many of us do not like our own body, our own physical look and we hate ourselves, how can you love others if you do not know to love yourself? To love yourself, you have to smile at yourself too. Not only when you are feeling good but also when you are feeling sad, nostalgic and depressed. Can you do it? Well, this is one God saying to another God. And we all are God so believe me you will understand what smile means.

Now you know how to be truthful, and to smile at yourself. What will happen when all the objects around you trust you, because you just decided that you are truthful to yourself. They will start to smile at you too. Which means, object around you are smiling at you. You cannot see them, you will not feel them but you will get power to attract them very easily. Let us now jump to number 3.

3. Help
Happiness comes with help, goes with pleasure of being helped. Save a penny, save not for yourself but take out that penny and give it to the person who is singing near railway station, who is begging by performing some art, who is begging to you and asking for help. Look into the eyes of those who need them, give it to them. Giving is what we writers do, giving is what Gods do and still do not forget the main theme-”We are all God”. Do not think, please that you cannot give, think how should you give.

Writers give opinion, ideas, books, Philoshoper gives philosphy, Musician gives music, Poet gives poem, Medical Doctor give health checkup, Nature gives care, protection, environment, different climate and seasons. Everything around us, either Nature of humans we are givers and takers.

Therefore, Now we have learned three basic things which can save our plant.

-Being truthful, Smiling and Helping.

Now some of you will ask how can being truthful, smiling and helping will help the entire planet?

(Scientific explantion)
It is simple, as our metaphor of “water and vessal”, water is composed of molecules which are atoms and these atoms are single in the entity. Which could be interpreted with one single human living on this planet. When water becomes dirty of impure then it implies it is not entire community of atoms which are dirty but some of the atoms which are influenced by neighbouring atoms.

Solution: Just try to remove those atoms or give the advice to “change themselves”.

(Other perspectives)

Now, As explained in Scientific way- A general ways is that, WE are the collection of people or individuals living on this planet. Some are good and some are bad, many are changing ourselves and when majority of things increase, evolution of “something different” starts or begins.

Till now, if you have not understood what I wanted to say then contact me personally or write me email.

Remember, you are the creators and it is your responsibility to save the “water with vessal or vessal with water”

"Prostitution"

"Prostitution"

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Women (WO+Men), Wife of (Men) - Please notice the two capitals in the word "Women". In very old English, wyf or wifman were used to refer "a woman" where "Wif" evolved into the word "wife". Today, I am claiming that, the origin has to re-research. Are we sure that we really know everything that's going on in the countries you have lived in? Unlike Political turmoil, bandh and Chakka Jams there is far more important aspect to look at such as humanitarian tragedies, rape, and child abuse and sexploitation. The big picture here is how to how to deal with slavery and forced prostitution in SE-Asia?

Human-rights organizations have been studying human trafficking for years: those who are skeptical should actually read some of those reports by the NGO's and INGO's. Once I visited the Massage Parlor in Thamel and I heard a story from a prostitute on why she was in this business? I found that, it was because of her husband who left her. There are several other factors such as, unwanted pregnancy, poverty, fake boyfriend or husband, sickness of family, debt or family debts and lack of proper education. Prostitution (In Kathmandu, Commonly known as Massage Parlor near Thamel area) is integral part of sex trade for buyers and traders. Forced Prostitution and sex trade is highly focused for local customers and also to foreign tourists. In Thailand and Japan, sex trade is billion dollar industry. What is the motivation for these prostitutes who sell her body to foreign males or even locals? The biggest motivating factor is "Poverty, lack of support from family or finding alternatives to support family and lack of education". Most of the times, these women are involved in Prostitution through friends, relatives and even by there family who lure them into sex business.

There is also another form of sexual abuse a women has to face- psychically atrocious, to be raped by strangers non-stop, or nightly rapes by a father, grandfather, brother or uncle. There should be rampant prevalence of child rape perpetrated by male family members. Unfortunately, our family and criminal courts are equally ignorant and ineffective at addressing the realities of sexual assault of children within families. Buying the virginity of a prostitute, or receiving a gift of virginity (as now women seem voluntarily to be doing for their husbands through plastic surgery) is very bad in today's society. I believe, Choice of when, where, and with who to have sex is a privilege that very few women in this world experience.

My heart bleeds for these innocent and vulnerable young women, anyone who abuses a woman and especially a minor should be prosecuted, if you want to help, address the source of the problem: poverty. Give them a fishing pole, rather than simply handing fish. To those who are skeptical about this- imagine your young son or daughter being the subject of abduction and slavery. As long as there is lack of proper support from our Government, which sounds like a rotten tape recorder now, no Western world and no NGO will change the rules of the trade.

Happy New Year 9002

Men and Women are two different entities but I personally think- they are not different. Only thing that separates us is our thinking about the life and Nature.

I believe that, WOmen is “Wife Of Men”. Please notice the two capitals in the Women word. The “WO means Wife Of” but do not take this as granted. She is called as Women simply because she is not here on this earth to become a Wife of Men but she is here to take care of Men too.
——————————————————-
Without a Women, Men is empty, Without her We are nobody
With her we are somebody and we can become anybody

When she is close-it gives the sense of warmth and pleasure
When she is far-it gives the sense of insecurity and displeasure

Some times greatest journey is the distance between two of us
However, We are first of all humans then Men and Women later.

Women desires the same as the Men
Only difference we encounter is Men desires are practical
and Womens desires are theoretical

Whatever be the case and wherever it may lead
We are destined to be together in anyways world we see,

Oh God- Every love is like a Rose
And why not? Rose has the red and most womens loves red too

Even if they hate it-the color rose or red, they know
they cannot escape from the red

Love is inexplainable, fresh and very simple
Everybody else who has tried-has just never reached to conclusion

I do not know if I am creating a poem for love
But I hope-love last for those whose dedication is charming all along,

I do not know-what is love?
Oh! A sense of togetherness,
Or May be A sense of desires

Ah! May be Freshness of early morning beauty
Either the rose or the lady just besides me
———————————————-



Happy New Year to all the readers and every one of us.

Welcome to New Year 9002 (read from opposite). Oh, We are so old. Look the year- I hope this post still remains at that time too.

Die Or Live?

Die or Live?


• Why do people commit suicide?

Let me go through some of the things that I have figured out till date.There are many answers to the same question by many people and I may sometime agree on the issue and sometimes I may not agree at all.
The point is all do one thing which is "suicide", although the execution and implementation of the suicide might be different. What causes the humans to commit for suicide? I think the suicide is higher in Women than in Male but why do people have to think that they are going to quit the life?

One common cause is that,

Humans
|
Problems
|
Sadness
|
Depression (Extensive)
|
Lack of purpose in living
|
Kill yourself

the process is Six step phenomenon where these six step phenomenon works like this.

1) Humans
We all are humans and we know there are our needs, our desire, career, life, relationship, friends, family, culture, country and our vision and motto for life. We know that we are going to achieve something or want something in our life. We have this quest and search for living happily ever after and smiling all the times (especially even in worries)

2)Problems
We all face problems. Our problems can be same and at the same time it can be different too. A personal problems such as lack of skill, lack of knowledge, divorce, physically obliged, sexually dissatisfied, displeasure, also work problems, career problems, struggling to make enough money, dreams and vision which results into self problems, distress, stress, anxiety, irritation, anger and grief and many more. These are all common problems that we face in daily life.

3) Sadness
the problems are the root cause of Sadness. The problem can result into Sadness. You feel sad, because you are going though divorce. Or, let us say, you feel dissatisfied because your friends earn better salary then you do, or let us say, you are facing career problems with no position offered for higher studies and so on. Therefore, the problems can result into Sadness in our lives.

4) Depression (Extensive)
(Why?) Well, Depression because this is root cause of making you think that you should quit your life. The depression especially extensive. It might come when you are alone, when there is nobody around you. When you feel lonely and you are in darkness. This might give you enough reasons to think that you should "check out" from your life.

5) Lack of Purpose in Living
we are humans and we live on purpose. We have a good purpose to live our life simply because we are either Engineers earning a good salary and we have a nice job or we are doctors serving patient daily, or we are professor giving lecture to the student, or we are authors writing and telling our stories all around, or we are artist who is painting his vision. Life is full of purpose and without purpose we lack everything. When there is feeling of lack of purpose in living then we think well, now I do not have anything to do. What if, you imagine that you do not have anything to do? What will happen when you do not have anything to do?

6) Kill yourself
this is the best solution when all of your previous five steps are ready. When you are gone through above five steps or even few of them then you are finally ready to "check out" from your life. You do not feel anything in this state. You do not have any opinion on any body. You cannot take any lessons inside. Nothing can go inside you. Only thing that is going to make a mark in your life NOW-Kill yourself. Now, you want to see how would "I" be after I killed myself? Where would I go? Since nobody wants me, why should I live anymore? There is NOBODY for me? I am alone and I was alone, why should I live? What is the purpose for me to live any longer? I am a burden in this earth?

These questions will drive a human to finally quit the life.


Therefore, when a human goes through these six steps they can really go for a long long holiday. The root cause of problems should be discovered early in the life. There are many ways to avoid it. Unlike going through these problems one should actually think about doing something positive and good.

1) Everybody in this earth is unique. They are made for some purpose.
2) All humans are born special and they should die special. (Not like a coward by committing suicide.)
3) There are never any reasons for "love", there are never any reasons for you being alone.A man who loves his aloneness is capable of love, and a man who feels lonely is incapable of love.
http://mybheja.blogspot.com/2007/08/being-alone.aspx
4) Live not for yourself, live for others.
5) When you decide you want to kill yourself, first decide to smile at 1000 child.
6) Learning never stops and imagines being old writing book, telling your story to your grandchildren or your children, Everyday event adds to one page of journal in your life.
7) Think, Learn, Educate, and See and Feel the world with similarities. Hope is the best medicine in darkness.

7 things to do, to be happy

With Unquenchable curiosity, I have come to this conclusion that- There are seven things a human can do to be happy. These seven things are listed below with explanation.

1. Sex
2. Smile (in worries)
3. Listen (Music, Others around)
4. Observe
5. Believe in Yourself (Also in Supreme Power, beauty of Nature)
6. Respect (Women or Male)
7. Be like a child.


1. Sex
Why Sex? Sex will give you pleasure, only thing that comes in my mind is sex-most of the times. Especially when I am alone. Medical experts will say that, sex exercise will burn calories to produce health benefits. I think they are correct to some point. The more you perform the sex, the better happy you will be of course by mutual agreement with your partner.

2. Smile
Why Smile? Smile is motivating cause for happiness which could be shown voluntarily or involuntary. We may have difference in culture, political system, life styles, country, religion and land but one thing remains same, “smile.” Smile especially in worries, when you are alone. When you think there are more worries coming your way. The root cause of all your worries will be gone once you start smiling at yourself. Look at your problems and worries and smile.

3. Listen
Everything is changing with time. Music besides any culture has common language. Music is "the harmony of the spheres”, it will bring happiness by inextricably intertwining into your life. As all our concepts and ideas are internal pictures, music is eternal harmony in our lives.
Others around signifies, those who want to speak listen to them first. Understand the philosophy of there thinking by listening to them. If I were a God, I would say- Some times, I can listen to all those who are not even near to me. (How?) Just by listening to their heart full of worries.

4. Observe
One man has done great deal of the work on Observation- Buddha. His quotes on Observation will explain everything on this issue.

“Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it. Do not believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumored by many. Do not believe in anything simply because it is found written in your religious books. Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders. Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations. But after observation and analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it.”

5. Believe in Yourself

Always remember, It is not who you are that will hold you back, it is who you think you are not. Vincent Van Gogh has said that, “If you hear a voice within you say ‘you cannot paint’, then by all means paint and that voice will be silenced.” Therefore, the most important motivating factor to be alive is to believe in yourself and your abilities. Once I was ready to checkout of this life but I stopped just because I wanted to make most of myself and conquer myself.
Supreme Power and beauty of Nature should be believed because in the times when you are feeling low and down, when there is shadow of darkness quest for light- close your eyes and pray. All your prayers and wishes will be heard.


6. Respect
Respect could be defined as a manifestation of a human’s quality or behavior which does not come from influence but inner instincts. A single gesture, words and expression can result into great respect for those around you. If you are male, respect to fe-male and male. If you are fe-male respect to male and fe-male. Why? Because respect will give you pleasure and make you happy.

7. Be like a child
Einstein said, “All of my discovery and invention are because I stayed to be like a child.” It is true. The Unquenchable curiosity of the child can result into great inventions, can perform even the miracle. We always complain that, If God exits, why do not we see him/her. I would recommend, see the beauty and innocence of the child-you will see the God.

Prediction of President, 9 months ago !

No one would have thought nine months ago that the black guy will become the 44th President of the United States of the America, except me. I am neither futurist nor any economist on this issue. Was I guessing that President Obama will surely become the president? No, certainly not. I knew it. I do not know from when or where but somewhere deep down to my heart I knew that, the change is coming to the United States of America.

As the word "change" is concerned, it is the only thing which is going to be permanent in this recent century. It is because of the change, we are alive. It is for the change we want to live a life. It is due to the change we see pleasure of happiness, joy, sorrow, and many different tastes in our lives. The campaign and the election were just started and I did not know what's going on in United States of the American then, some 10-11 months ago. But suddenly, I heard it from a friend that, "Obama a black guy, has been elected for the president". I was then surprised to go through and Googled the key word-"Obama". I found loads of interesting videos which delivered equal message of equality, liberty and national unity. I was deeply moved and inspired by the speech that was delivered by President Obama.



Then later that night, I realized what is important? Is it the message of the change? Yes, it was! I could not stop my enthusiasm to that end; I quickly visited the web pages of the Obama presidential election and started to write some articles on these web pages. No body gave any comment on those articles till date. I wonder why? As, couple of days ago when President Obama was elected still no body has gone through my president prediction.



However, that is not important- The most important idea now is- How is United States of the America really going to stand up as the world leading nation? Is everything going to be restructured or re-envisioned through the eyes of new president or is it going to be the same? Only the time will tell, if Change is really being implemented through different perspectives.



The three words which is most important now is- "Yes, we can". How about in soon future, "Yes, we did"!



(Source:www.jordantimes.com)


Here is the article that I wrote then, on Feb 6th, 2008 at 3:08 pm EST



Yes, I am certain that this guy will be the next president of United States of America. The past speaks a lot about the future. Barack Obama Past was full of pain, hardwork and total devotion towards his country. It seems that he has been supported by mainly youth of America. If youth of the Number one country supports him that really means this guy has got some talent. He has- No doubt about it. I just saw one video on you tube from his official website and I am impressed the way he speaks and the way he expresses himself. He is the next president of United States. I know this is just a hope and hope is always good when it comes to achieving the happiness because both these two simple word starts with "h". People might say that this guys is being optimistic or something but I am certain and sure. If USA needs some change and wants to serve their country surely they will have to give votes to this guy. I myself have never given vote till date. Imagine if I were a citizen of this country I would have proudly gone there to give him my vote, because I know and I am certain that I will get some thing on return. He will not turn down my request or he will not ignore me just like that. What has Bush done to America? During his time, America was unnoticeable country to all other countries. To speak and to do is quite different. People should always learn from the Finnish Culture of believing in "doing" rather than wasting time and energy is wasting time "speaking". It depends though, It is always good to say that "I have done something then I will do this or that" My good luck to Barack Obama I don't know weather any citizen of America will give him a vote or not but If I were you- I would surelyhave.

Next President of United States is Obama who will most likely clear the rule of certainly Osama...Yes, it is funny statement but it is true. The day Obama become president from that day onwards the journey of Osama will end. I think they were enemy from their very past. Before their birth! You don't think so? They have very common name Osama and Obama just replace "b" with "s". Since b always comes early in alphabet surely Obama is going to be the winner.

My wishes to Barack Obama, Next President of United States of America!!!

Can’t Open Your E-Mailbox? Good Luck

I was fascinated by one of the article by Randall Stross Published in New York Times. The idea presented in an article shows the problem encountered by me, last month. Going office 9-5, spending weekend in cock-tail parties and checking e-mail daily is a routine of everyday life. It is a daily routine now a day to check E-mail. What would you do if you cannot open your email? You wake up in a morning, plugged in your computer and put your user name and password as you always do, but suddenly you received a message which says, “Your username and Password do not match?”.

If you are a Gmail user as me, what would you do after unsuccessful attempts? By definition, “Gmail is a new kind of webmail, built on the idea that email can be more intuitive, efficient, and useful. And maybe even fun. After all, Gmail has: Less spam, Mobile access and Lots of space” but no support services. There are no possibilities of talking with any customer support representative. Neither does Google offers any toll-free number nor discussion forums which would tell you about the next future steps. Microsoft and Yahoo offer some phone support to their paid e-mail customers.

According to Mr. Glotzbach who works with Google’s business customers says, it cannot deliver “one to one” support services to their customers. Google says it has “tens of millions” of Gmail customers without being too specific.

A message -“We apologize for any inconvenience you're experiencing by not being able to access Gmail. To resolve this issue as quickly as possible, please follow the troubleshooting steps” is displayed when you cannot access your account. Follow the steps and you will be asked to answer security question. One of the key to getting back your lost username and password is by answering to security question. But what if you do not remember the security question? Then, try it simply means that standard security questions will not be enough. As a normal Google user, once you lost your password and you do not remember your security question-then I’m sorry, but you cannot access your E-mailbox anymore. There is only one alternative, which is to open an entire new account. It is again frustrating and time consuming task, it is like saying, you lost your mobile phone now buy a new one. One company which provides phone service or customer service is Netflix. It has 375 customer service representatives which are enough to handle calls from 8.4 million customers, answering them within a minute.

As said by Richard Feynman, “What I cannot create, I do not understand.” Same hold true for me too. It is difficult to understand the technology without being involved in the creation of it. Hopefully, in near future there will be some system which will remove the orthodox- username and password system. Which I hate, hopefully you do too!

who am I?

The event took place in the Trivuwan Airport in Kathmandu. A young handsome looking, he seemed like very important rushed into this airport, jumped the queue, went straight to the counter and showed his passport and the ticket.

The gentleman at the counter said, “Sir, please stand in the queue”. The person replied, “No, I’m really in hurry I need to go.” The gentleman again said, “Please wait in the queue”.

The man said, “Do you know who I am?” The gentleman at the counter picked up the microphone and said, “There is a man here who does not know who he is, can somebody help him?”

The biggest problem for all of us is that, we all are in the same state as of this young man. The question, “Can somebody help him”?

The question justifies that every body is existing in this mother earth without knowing Nature of who he/she is. We are making life without understanding the fundamentals of whom we really are; we are trying to create a life of unknown. There is confusion.


The very first question that comes in my mind is that, “who am I”? It is one of the most profound and very important questions one has to ask in their life.

How can you know some one else life without knowing who you are? Charles Darwin gave the theory of “Natural Selection”, but he forgot to mention one theory of “Nature of Existence”. In this theory, every person should ask-who am I? Am I a student, Am I a teacher, Am I a political leader? Or Am I nobody.

The first and foremost thing one should do with their life is to ask these questions to understand who they really are. If we do not know what the nature of our existence is, we live by accident.

There is no reality in living by accident. It appears that we are living by accident, by assumptions and by opinion. And the zest of finding the reality appears. Some times there might be a feeling of no reality.

The question, “Who am I?” exits inside our body, in our mind. Once we remove the surface nonsense example, I am very famous singer, artist, son of great political leaders etc. The removal of such surface nonsense will give us the answer to the question, “who am I?”

When there is nothing remaining in your answer, that is the biggest thing. The answer you were searching for comes from this nothing. The question does not come from mere curiosity but straight from the heart. The answer to this question can some time tear people, once you know the reality, you will stick to it.

One day, a friend asked me the same question and I replied him saying, the words of Gautama Buddha which states, “It is better to conquer yourself than to win a thousand battles. Then the victory is yours.

It cannot be taken from you, not by angels or by demons, heaven or hell.” This is what Buddha said, and this is what I say to those who ask who am I, “I am what I really Am., and not what others make of me..,”

“Socrates and me”

Once upon a time-Socrates was sitting outside of the gates of Athens. A man came up to him and said, "I am thinking about moving into Athens. Can you please tell me what it is like to live here?" Socrates replied, "I would be happy to tell you, but first would you please tell me what it was like in your previous home city?"

The man roared, "Oh, it was awful. The people stab you in the back and rob you blind. I am leaving only enemies". Socrates frowned and continued, "Well, you best be on your way because you will find the same thing here in Athens".

Later another man stopped and inquired with Socrates, "I was considering moving here to Athens. Can you tell me what it is like to live here?" Socrates asked visitor: "First tell me, what it was like in your previous home city?" The man smiled and said, "Where I come from the people all work together and help each other. Kindness is everywhere and you are never treated with anything but the utmost respect". "Welcome to Athens", smiled Socrates, "You will find the same thing here".

World is our thinking. It is similar to the mirror which is the reflection of the image inside us. Optimisms would result in positivity whereas negative thinking outlooks would be bleak.


The person who approached first to Socrates had negative trait in his mind. The second person had only good things to say about his city. Everything inside us is the reflection similar to the water in lake.

It is reflection of our personal emanations. One who understands and learns to live life with it has no other person to be blame. The world which is physical and materialistic is our inner projection of our belief which we mainly call it as reality. As we think we become, one has to be honest with him first to see honesty in others. The first lesion of living a life is to become the king of own life by taking charge of our actions.

It could be thoughts, beliefs, feelings, habit and many more things. The man, who thinks, he is worth little, will receive little. With the passage of time, everything we think has some impact on our actions like talking, walking and acting. We are the product of our own thinking.

A fresh start of any good thing is result of fresh start of one self. Until and unless we learn how to explore our inner self how can we think of the victory. Think what if I rule my inner instincts to lead myself and become the master of your own thinking.

Where are we heading?

We may increase the knowledge, but I would like to ask-Is happiness increasing? We can see schools and universities multiplying but are happy homes multiplying? Today, the input from the knowledge has taught us to be selfish, speculative and manipulative, more on “my” things are better than yours concept.

Therefore, we cannot see the connection between the “the things as it appears” and “the things in itself” because we can only understand the things as it appears to our sense and understandings. Allen Bradley writes in Future Education: The major portion of human family can see no further than the next meal, the next entertainment thrill, or new acquisitions a new car, flat, TV or the next holiday.

True education should bring the realization that these are a means, not an end. With the help of our sense we can perceive and through our understanding we can conceive. Hegel says, we may indeed arrive at knowledge of the thing in itself through speculative reasoning. Bradley claimed that we cannot come into contact with the thing in itself by reasoning alone, but we can acquire knowledge of it through immediate perception and feeling, by which the thing in itself will appear before us. Reasoning alone is not enough.

These philosophers have tried to approach the ultimate reality with their intellectual arrogance. Philosophy - Philo-sofia - is love of knowledge. Empirical knowledge is acquired by the sense organs, mind and intelligence.

The Gita says mind and intelligence belong to the external potency of the Supreme. That which is transcendental cannot be comprehended by gross or subtle elements. But we are always trying to determine the ultimate reality through empirical processes.

The existence of absolute truth is always existing we cannot approach it but we have to follow the path of Nature of trace it. When one is enlightened by the knowledge that destroys ignorance, all things are revealed in their absolute quality. The sun rises and lights up everything.

As the sun is self-luminous, your attempt to experience it at night will not work because your nature is intrinsically different from the suns. A nature of fire is to burn, nature of water is to cool, nature of Nature itself is to preserve. One has to wait for the rays of the sun to appear before you can see it. Likewise, the Supreme Being is self-effulgent, self-luminous, and by the grace of Nature; alone will we be able to see it.

A study of successful people shows that, self-confidence is the most important factor in life. It can be easily understood by the chair model. Imagine a chair with four legs. If one of its four legs is weak, the chair as a whole will be weak.

The four legs represent self-confidence, which is generated by the following: Good feelings and good social behavior, taking responsibility with being serious, learning and sharing knowledge together with being accountable and developing skills continuously.

Struggle with yourself

The mind is a chooser .It always chooses something against something else. It creates opposition, contradiction in life and extremes; there is a constant inner war, a civil war. Don't choose, remain choice less.

If you repress sex you will be in a constant war, and you can never win. Failure is absolutely certain because the more you fight with sex, the more you give energy to it. The same is the case with anger, jealousy, and greed. Fighting is not the way of wisdom; it is the fool's path, stupid and the mediocre fight.

The intelligent ones transform; they absorb. We have a freedom to choose. We can live an integrated life; we can become an organic unity or we can remain a crowd – many minds, many fragments, and no unity. Each fragment of your mind wants to become the most powerful one. There is constant inner politics.

You cannot find bliss in this constant inner war. When there are many minds there is conflict, discord, a constant civil war. When you are at war within yourself you are at war with existence too; as within, so without. A Deep down in the bottom of your heart, you are one person, pretending on the surface to be somebody else.

There is a constant conflict between the real and the false. The false is appreciated by society, valued, respected, and the real is condemned. You have to learn ways to be two persons.

I don't want the peace of the cemetery. All the graves are silent – no fight, no struggle, no quarrel. I want the peace of a garden in the early morning when birds are singing, flowers are opening, and the sun is rising. My understanding about peacefulness is that it is not a question of being peaceful with anybody. The basic question is being at peace with you. Out of that, peace arises for everybody. Where is the devil?

It is some condemned part of you. There is no enemy but a part of you which has not possibility of spreading from yourself. You can go on fighting, but you will never win. You cannot fight against the devil; you can only play with him. Society is violent, politics is violent, and nations are violent. The state is violent; the church is violent, because they are political games. Even religion is political. Every religion is trying to defeat other religions.

There is a constant struggle going on, a cold war. How long can you go on fighting a cold war? Sooner or later it becomes heated, and then a hot war erupts.

Man has been going through three kinds of wars. One is with nature, another is with other people, and the third is with him. The first war has become science: the war with nature. The second war has become politics: the war with other people. And the third war, unfortunately, has become religion: the war with yourself.

I have a dream

Welcome to Nepal, A country famous for High sky rocketing Himalaya like Mount Everest, birth place of Gautam Buddha, Buddhist God and brave Gurkha is truly a dream destination to visit once in a life. Excuse me, "You have landed your feet on Federal Democratic Nation,"

Welcome , Be ready now to Walk ! You will not find any Taxi, cabs or any vechicle on the roads, you can go and wait 7hrs in queue for the gas stations but to yourutmost suprise you will just develope a "how to become patience" skill.

Now, you start walking from Airport to your home town in Chitwan-First you reached to Kalanki, from here onwards you will find no vechilce. where do you go ? Try to stay in hotel but be careful because anything can happen in a country without electricity and a goverment. with no consitution Hear the good news in radio, television and very little FM Station in your own city of temples; that-

The history has been created by changing the some 240 year rule of King by people. Once the land where people use to treat Kings, and Queens and God and Goddesses are now just like me and you, a simple ordinary human instead he has been given around 200 cops for security. No great palace of former rulers is open to public in Nepal.

Hence, the Narayanhity Museum will give Nepalis a unique peek at the 240-year-old institution of monarchy that has played such an important role in shaping the political course of the country. It is also decide now that the palace will be turned into Museum. Sooner the country will have new prime minister and president. But I am sorry to say, when this sooner will come. "The president will be the commander in chief of the national army. He will act as per the recommendation of the Prime Minister. He will be authorized to declare emergency in accordance with the cabinet decision," was said by Nepali Congress leader Bimalendra Nidhi.

As a common citizen, my intelligent guess would be "No One" as the president of Nepal. History has been made and history by selecting and voting for a new party called Maoist. Hoping is the only element left when none of the political parties and King did anything for the well-being of Nation, people and for the country. Since there has been new political parties people mostly expect a great deal of change from them.

Now the priority of government should focus mostly on the economic, infrastructure, health, education, social sector and IT developments. It seem rather impossible looking at present condition where there is no electricity, no petrol, no vehicular movement, no book given to school children and many more "NOs",

"Dreaming about peaceful, strike free and developed Nepal !" exclaimed a friend one day giving me a pitiful look usually reserved for endangered animals. I was not bothered by that question as I realized that we ourselves are responsible for our sufferings. Changes should be brought about within ourselves; once we are changed definitely our homeland will change to developed."E should stands for efforts E should not stand for excuses".

One example is worth thousand theories, we should set and example to world. we need to go by firmly believing in what I would suggest is "doing". Or more precisely, add "ing" in the verb like do, learn, walk, talk, watch,contribute, fight so on. If we learn to live in present we will know we are changing ourselves, our society, our country and to some extent the entire world.

Since you have seen a your home land for One day, Now take a ticket back to a place from where you arrived your dreams have been shattered. Relax, you had a dream but your dream is unfulfilled Do not worry we all know the bitter truth that Our goverment is fighting for themselves, our leaders are running for there own benefit why should you worry.

Yes, it will never change, Never until and unless some one would follow his own heart to develop a country and has a dream for change himself and his country.

“Mind matters”

Everything is first created in our minds. All that you see which is human work on this planet first found expression in the mind, then it got manifested in the outside world. A well established mind, a mind which is in a state of wishing tree. If you organize your mind to a certain level, it, in turn, organizes the whole system.

Body, emotions, energies, everything gets organized in that direction. Once we are empowered with a potential like this, it is very important that our physical, emotional, mental and energy actions are controlled and properly directed. If it is not so, we become destructive, self-destructive.

The technology which is supposed to make our life beautiful and easy has become the source of several problems. What should have been a boon is turning out to be a curse. If life has to happen the way you think it should happen, first of all how you think and with how much focus you think, how much stability is there in your thought and how much reverberance is there in the thought process - all these will determine if your thought will become a reality or not. Today, modern science is proving that the whole of existence is just a reverberation of energy. It is a vibration.

Similarly, your thought is also a vibration. If you generate a powerful thought and let it out, it will always manifest itself. To create what you really care for, first, what you want must be well manifested in your mind. Once you can maintain a steady stream of thought without changing direction, definitely this is going to happen in your life.

It will definitely manifest as a reality in your life. You must be clear as to what is it that you really want. If you do not know what you want, the question of creating it doesn't arise. What every human being wants is to live joyfully; he wants to live peacefully, in terms of its relationship he wants to be loving and affectionate.

All that any human being is seeking for is pleasantness within himself, pleasantness around him. Once your mind gets organized, the way you think is the way you feel: your emotions will get organized. Once your thought and emotion are organized, your energies will go the same way. Then your very body will get organized. Once all these four are organized in one direction, your ability to create and manifest what you want is phenomenal.

You have the power to create; you are the Creator, in so many ways. The whole technology of Yoga is just about this - transforming you from being just a piece of creation to the Creator himself. This is not in search of God; this is in search of becoming a God. This is not in search of Divine; this is in search of becoming Divine.

Studying in Finland, expectations and differences

“Expect the Unexpected in Life”. Life always brings you to unexpected places. I did not know some 1 year ago when I was teaching Students of Engineering Department in Kathmandu, Nepal that I would some day come to Finland. But now, I am here, writing this essay about my expectations and differences. For I come from Kalwar Family which for generations had engaged in business. I was the second Kalwar after my younger brother to come abroad for studies, from Nepal.

“All that glitters is not gold”. The first day when I landed my feet to this place, I didn’t knew how I will be greeted in Finland, I was surprised when I met a Old man near railway station in Helsinki, asked him some info in English, he did not replied anything. I was not surprised. Next thing that came in my mind was, “Am I walking in dead man’s land?” What are the reason people here in Finland do not talk with anybody? It has been a more than 3 months now in this Country and now I think they really believed in "Do". Is it because people here believe more in "doing" then "talking". Every body is so engaged in work that no body has time to talk with each other. I have to accept that, there is never a reliable map to unexplored territory.


My penchant was always towards Computer and it has never ceased to exist till date. Those impressions, still persistent in my conscience, landed me in Visveswaraiah Technological University, India for my Bachelors Degree in Computer Science and Engineering. My choice of Computer Science for my specialization didn’t come out of the blue. It was a garland of conscious decisions knitted together at various instances of time and I have been deeply satisfied with my academic result in my specialization. I gradually began to realize the insufficiency of my knowledge so as to increase the efficiency and quality of my work. Also, career became a secondary thing and knowledge and experience became my first priority. Accomplishing the apogee of my career has been a long time passion of mine. Saturating oneself with knowledge germane to one’s studies is the only way to prove the worth of one’s existence, not only to together but also to oneself. I am convinced that we people are destined to perform special task and it is up to us as to how efficiently we can perform them. I believe that I would complete my master degree from Lappeenranta University of Technology, Finland because hard work is the chariot to success and one should not undertake a task and if he does, one should perform it to the best of his caliber. I expect to make new friends and teach them not to follow the manual of good behaviors but to discover their own lives, desires, adventures and to live.

Many of us worry about the future, hold regrets about the past, and completely ignore the present. I always believe that we are in now, and the now is amazing. It will be surprising to many people that this human lives just one day of his life, I do not care about the past, and I am not worried about the future, I live in now or present. May be that is why I have no expectations and I hate the word differences. It is always best to accept life as it really is and not as I imagined it to be. I am learning from culture, people and climate of this country a lot; when the days are all the same, they pass more quickly but for me every day is new day here and everywhere else. Since I do not expect anything from my own life how can I expect something studying in Finland? I have no expectations and I could not find any difference. But I have to tell this truth that, studying here, feels good, professors, staffs and all the people are very friendly, helpful, gentle and kind. Taking all these as the pedestal of my decision, my passion for understanding the world, the rules that govern it and the way of using them for the benefit of entire human race, I have always guided my thinking and actions.


To sum up, in my country, extremely limited institution providing Master’s degree in my relevant subject lack latest technologies and the required exposure to enable a student gain global recognition. So I have to look for possibilities abroad. The renowned faculty members and the stat-of-art technology and infrastructure along with subject pertaining to one’s interest can entice anyone to gain Master’s degree at Lappeenranta University of Technology, Finland. I am no exception.

Retired to a Forest to become Buddha

A few people may like to lead a lonely life in a quiet place to practice Buddhism, for their own reasons. There is nothing wrong if a man spends some time away from the hurly and burly of life as a part of spiritual and intellectual training to come out stronger; such a person would be of greater help to fellow human beings. But it is certainly more praiseworthy and courageous to practice Buddhism living amongst your own people, helping them and to have empathy, mutual love and concern for all. But if a man lives all his life in solitude without caring for family community and tries to become like Buddha this is not in keeping with Buddha's teaching which is based on compassion and service. Once my wife Padhmawoti said, "there is a human tendency to become imitators". People are trying to imitate, to become somebody else. Don't try to be anybody else. You cannot be! You can try, and you can deceive yourself and you can promise yourself and you can hope that someday you will become somebody else, but you cannot become. These are only illusions that you can go on having. They are not going to become realities ever. You will remain yourself whatsoever you do. An incident in Buddha's life shows how much importance he gave to family life. A young man, used to worship six cardinal points of heaven: east, west, north, south, nadir and zenith — as instructed by his religious head. When he met the Buddha to embrace his religious doctrine, Buddha told the young man that in his religious discipline the six directions were: east — parents, west — wife and children, south — teachers, north — friends, relatives and neighbors. At the bottom were others and at the top, seers. Six Families are as sacred in Buddhism and one should perform duties towards them truthfully. In Hinduism, parents are referred to as Brahma. Second in the order comes Guru, or teacher. Every pupil is expected to respect and obey his teacher. Third is the sacred relationship between wife and husband. Both husband and wife need to respect each other and express their love and regard by caring and sharing. The Buddha didn't forget to mention that a husband could gift clothes and jewellery to his wife — as a way of demonstrating the fact that he cared for her physical well-being, too. Love is the energy that helps us to heal, whether we give this love to ourselves, or we receive it from another. When we look at having loving relationships in our life, why not start with ourselves? Because that is where love comes from. This is what transforms our relationships and our lives. It is clear those in order to practice Buddhism you are not expected to become a monk or retire to a forest or cave. You can practice it even while living with and caring for family and discharging your duties towards family members.

100 years of aloneness

Last night, I had a dream I saw myself being alone in lonely island walking like mad person searching something, looking for the love he had in his life, searching for her to see and get a glimpse of her.

It really scared hell out of him. He realized later that it isn't a problem unless it is really a problem. He now tries different things to forget that he really is alone, slowly in my dream I fishing at the same time being myself confused shout loudly but no one listen to his shout. He finally realizes the fact that- the journey that he has made to this desert or island is the greatest journey that he made to find the love.

"Sometimes greatest journey people travel is the distance between people". He laughs, with the loneliness and realizes that it is just opposite of his aloneness which is teaching him the lessons of eternal love.

We feel inconvenient when we are alone because we don't know who we are. With the other, things are clear, defined. We know the name, we know the form, we know the person - Hindu, Christian, Indian, and American - there are some ways to define the other. How to define yourself? Have you ever realized to define who you are? The greatest difficulties people find is to know them.

One day my wife Padhmawoti said to me, "Beware of Buddha, if you meet him on the way avoids him immediately". I was surprised by her answer and asked, "What do they mean"? I mean there is a human tendency to become imitators. People are trying to imitate, to become somebody else. Nobody can become a Christ or Buddha. There is no need. Existence will be bored if you become Christ. It wants somebody new, something original. It wants you, and it wants you to be just yourself. Deep down there is an abyss - emptiness beyond definition. You start merging into that. It creates fear. You become frightened. You want to rush towards the other. The other helps you to remain out.

When there is nobody you are simply left with your emptiness. Nobody wants to be alone. The greatest fear in the world is to be left alone. People do a thousand and one things just not to be left alone. You imitate your neighbors so you are just like them. You lose your individuality, you lose your uniqueness, and you just become imitators because otherwise you will be left alone. You become part of a crowd, a church, an organization.

Somehow you want to merge with a crowd where you can feel at ease, so that you are not alone. To be alone is really the greatest miracle. That means now you don't belong to any church or organization, you don't belong to any theology or ideology - socialist, communist, fascist, Hindu, Christian, Jain, Buddhist - you don't belong, you simply are. And you have learnt how to love your indefinable, ineffable reality. You have come to know how to be with yourself. Aloneness is the first lesson of Love. Loneliness is absence of the other.

Aloneness is very positive. It is an overflowing presence. You are so full of presence that there is no need for anybody else. Even if the whole world disappears, he will love that tremendous emptiness, this pure infinity. This does not mean that a man who has become enlightened and has come home does not live with others. In fact, only he is capable of being with others.

Because he is capable of being with himself he becomes capable of being with others. If you are not capable of being with yourself, how can you be capable of being with others? A man who loves his aloneness is capable of love, and a man who feels lonely is incapable of love.

A man who is happy with himself is full of love, flowing. He is ready to give; he is full of stories like a write with unlimited stories, like the poet with unlimited poem, like a cloud with many different patterns every day. He does not need any body's love, hence he can give. When you are in need how you can give? It is a natural response. The first lesson of love is to learn how to be alone. Try it, to have the feel. Just sit alone sometimes. The process of starting any work is the process of understanding first that I have to start.

That's what meditation is all about - just sitting alone, doing nothing? If you start feeling lonely then there is something missing in your being, then you have been unable yet to understand who you are. Then go deeper into this loneliness until you come to a layer when suddenly loneliness transforms itself into aloneness. Loneliness is the negative aspect of aloneness.

If you go deeper into it, one moment is bound to come when suddenly you will start feeling the positive aspect of it because both aspects are always together. If I were to live for 100 years, I would like to live alone with my heart full of love with the desire of understanding my love, and learning lessons of love, giving all that I have learnt to others with the ineffable reality.

New Idea

The basic idea about the website is that I am going to group all the goverment offcial web page in one map. Each goverment webpage will be group together so that any body who wish to visit to the web page of any country, anywhere in the world will visit in just a single click.

It is really hard work because being single and doing it alone but since my website is personal web page I thought of grouping these countries in one single picture. It will also be useful to see the official web site of any educational insitution, or any states, or any goverment website in one page. The idea is always thier in the air, No body will believe me when I will say that the idea of "million dollars page" came in my mind when I was just 9 years of age. I do not want any body to believe me either.

I am not worried about "my" idea as long as I know that ideas are shared and I will not be in loss when I will share the idea with the others around me because the other person will have new idea and I will already have that idea. It is not money where I will loose or become poorer by one penny but it is idea which should be used for one common purpose. "For man kind and benefit of society".

Just be patient and let me show you how it can help you !
