गायत्री मंत्र

कुछ अजीब सा वाकया हुआ । ठमेल जाना कभी भी बहुत पसंद नही आया मुझको । हालांकि मेरे ज्यादातर दोस्त इस बात से इत्तफाक ना रखें, क्यूंकि अमूमन मेरे दोस्त मुझे अक्सर यहीं मिला करते हैं । फिर भी ये कहना जरुरी समझता हूँ, ये जगह मुझे कुछ खास आकर्षित नहीं करती, खासकर पिछले कुछ […]

माडिबा म्याजिक

सम्भवतः नेल्सन मण्डेलाको यो साता आउने जन्मदिन (‌१८ जुलाइ) दक्षिण अफ्रिकाले मात्र होइन, विश्वले नै मनाउने छ । सम्भवतः समर्थक र पूर्वविरोधीहरुले एक समान रुपमा प्रसंशा गरिने नेतामा अहिलेको विश्वमा मण्डेलामात्र होलान । धेरैलाइ स्वीकार्न वा भन्न गार्हो होला, तर सम्भवतः उनको ९६ औं जन्मदिन, जुन आगामी वर्षपर्छ, मनाउन उनी रहने छैनन् । रंगभेद विरुद्धको […]
