Nepal Government charges Service fee with public

It has been an issues since a long time that Nepal Government owned Nepal Electricity Authority has been charging service fee with the normal public on the monthly electricity bill. It has been clearly stated in its working manual that no service fee should be charged as it is a government own organization. But despite the rules and regulations the board of director of the NEA have endorsed the service fee from years.

Most of us do not know this as the bill is very complicated with all the numbers and text but it is there draining public money. 

The Government of Nepal has been ignoring the fact that NEA has been illegally taking money from public in the name of the Service fee

To top it off Nepal's political leaders are wasting people's time and money in the name of Governance and #democracy.

Russian Ambassador was a victim of faith or strategy

I am not totally convinced how easily the Russian Ambassador to Turkey Andrey Karlov, 62, was shot dead by a  gunman, for the Syrian issue. The whole story seems to be very easy to accept in terms of how diplomatic world has started taking their security so easily especially for a country like Russia that is considered to be world's developed nation.

The assailant identified as Mevlut Mert Altintas 22-year-old assailant was also shot dead by the police where he shouted “Don’t forget Aleppo. Don’t forget Syria!” after shooting.

The things that are very fishy are

1. Why was the security of the Russian Ambassador so vulnerable?
2. There seems to be a big security loop hole as it looks very staged 
3. The Syrian issue certainly points out a definite issue of tension going on in-between Russia and Syria which is totally uncomfortable to accept 
4.  The culture and religion issue 
5. This man is young, so how come he handles the crisis situation so well, I mean to say he seems to be very well prepared and he has all his markers ready

Killing anyone in any name of country, religion or any form of discrimination is wrong by anyone. Human Rights are the basic standard code and right of every individual in this earth which needs to be practiced at all times with respect.

500 and 1000 INR worthless

The Indian 500 and 1000 notes has been a major issue of concern for all. It has been weeks that the Modi led government introduced the new notes abandoning the old Indian notes of 1000 and 500. As soon as the notes were declared obsolete the values of money were seen randomly  going down. 500 rupees were being exchanged for half. Even in Nepal the bank prohibited the exchange of acceptance of the 500 and 1000 notes but out they were exchanged for NRs 500 and Nrs 1000 easily out side in the black market. The fall of  money not only showed and proved value of black money.

I think the move made by the Modi led government is an excellency move to strength the economy but with limited resources and infrastructure its haunting the normal public. Modi jee if you want to control black money first you should also build a wall in Indo-Nepal border.  Most of the money that comes in Nepal is illegal through the legal way, the situation is so complex ounces the banks of Nepal starts to accept the old 500 and 1000 notes for exchange you will know why and how much INR is here in Nepal.

Trakariwali of Nepal and her way to fame

Kusum Shrestha Tarkariwali

Chaiwala -Arshad Khan

Social Media is creating various options of Viral popularity where people are getting attention and their share of acknowledgment. In one or the other form, the use of social media is helping reach the millions whereas on the other it's also making people believe in their dreams.

Few months back,  Arshad Khan of Pakistan amazed the world with his looks. The viral image took Arshad Khan to the fame of chaiwala. The blue eyed chaiwala famed the world of modeling instantly after his photo went viral.

Similarly, in Nepal  Kusum's candid angle picture centered the world to innocence and harwork of a common woman in Nepal. Within seconds the picture went viral and kusum an ordinary girl of fishling was known to the world as Tarkariwali.

Call it her luck or fortune, she garbed the attention of millions in the innocence and hardwork . One thing we all have to understand is the fame of life is very limited to the how we live it. Kusum needs to understand that one photogenic picture is not going to make her life good. She has to make this opportunity the best where she can use her skills and further make it worth.

There are examples in the world where people have been crazed to fame with one photograph and today the same photograph is the issue of life and death. People rise to glory at the same time many of them even vanish.

Afghan Girl -The Image of Sharbat Gula that featured in the
National geographic of 1987 

In this history of fame, one name that I have to mention is the name of Sharbat Gula, the "Afghan Girl" who was famed to the world in the 80's but today her same fame has put her in bars. Currently, Sharbat is in jail of Pakistan where she was arrested for acquiring an illegal citizenship. She was a war victim who has refugeed under the Pakistan territory but in 2013 her identity was revealed to the world.

Social media can be a powerful tool of communication and networking but it depends upon how you use it. If you use it as for information, communication and networking it works best for benefits but if you try to exploits it in terms of  getting bad publicity or popularity it can backfire you creating a more vulnerable situation.
