Nepali Movies

It has been long since I have left watching Nepali films. I have been getting satisfied by watching the Fim previews itself.I feel that i have to watch nepali films for promoting Nepali film industry and Nepali culture at large.But what stops me from converting my feeling into action is the rendering of culture in Nepali fims.
I came to watch a film preview of a film named -(i forgot)in which a fighting heroine (i suppose) speaks a dialogue..."oi ek kadam pani agadi badhis bhane, aama ko bihe dekhlas"...that is "Hey, if you move even a step closer, you will see your mother's marriage".This statement is a modification of a often used dialogue 'oi nihu khojis bhane baau ko bihe dekhlas...you will see your father's marriage if you try to fight with me".
This is what prevents me from watching Nepali fims. There are reasons for me to watch movies, the foremost reason is for getting refreshed and entertained.Then comes the ethical wishes such as learning the culture, knowing the world,etc.If I do not get entertainment, why would I watch the Nepali films..for passing time?
No.because in that I will watch Hollywood and bollywood movies which are comparatively better than the spicy Nepali movies in terms of film-story, actings, video quality etc.
Yes there have been production of some quality movies like "Balidaan", "Caravan", "Numaphung", "Kagbeni"; also some earlier movies such as "Samjhana", "Kusume Rumal","Chino","Dakshina" were good for their classical storyline which matched the contemporary society of that time.I watched those older fims and the present advaced films both in Cinemahall and Cable-TV.And when I spesak of boosting the morale, professionalisation and industrialization of Nepali movies, I am actually speaking on behalf of these sort of movies from which I got both entertained and informed.
So, I prefer to watch films of good quality which depicts the contemporary issues and which renders useful information; but not the current in ehich some people dressed like Jokers dance in the middle of New-Road and sing songs with music in the background while there is no musical instrument playing seen around.
So, my suggestion to Nepali film makers is that please do not make films that will in word represent the nation but in reality spoiling national norms, values, culture, society and the people's aspirations.It will be a wate of both time and money; and the deviation of human mind from Creation to unwanted copying and unliked producing.

War in Afghanistan


It has already been 7 years since the inception of war on Afghanistan.At present Afghanistan seems to be quite to outside worlds, but for Afghanis there is a dark side to it. The first victim of Newtonian 3rd law has been Afghanistan, Iraq being the second, and the force obviously being the September 9/11 attack on the USA.
And Afghanistan went into turmoil. The Bush Administration and the UK were the coalition forces attacking on the then government of Taliban, supposedly the protector of al-qaeda and Osama bin Laden. And the result is this: a weak government limited to capital city Kabul, an ever-strengthening Taliban fighters, more attacks from al-qaeda and regional instability in South-Asia.
The beautiful hilly country Afghanistan has been a place for playing HIDE & SEEK by US-coalition army and the Taliban-Al-Qaeda coalition.
And this war isn't leading anywhere. The USA in the name of counter-terrorism has been making this region its permanent war-zone area and the Al-Qaeda and the Taliban in the name of protecting the country and Islam at large has been converting itself as a professional fighters lacking the moral instant of nationalism and faith to one's religion's ideology.
There has been no hope of peace and prosperity as both these sides have been trying to fulfill their vested interest in the name of finishing one-other's identity. And it has raised a growing immense wish in the people to see new Super-Power (purposedly India and China) that will overpower these anti-Peace factors.

Rabindra Shrestha and his politics



Mr. Rabindra Shrestha, ex-politburo member of CPN (Maoist) has entered CPN (UML).
He was arguing that he is still in the Maist party eventhough the Party has decided to remove him even from general membership. He used to to say that the MAoist party has left off its agenda and the leaders have forgotton that they are now in the political power because of the blood that poor Nepalese sacrificed.
He used to say that the party is forgetting the meaning of real communism .
But now...
but now...
He has entered CPN(UML) . Its his right to choose any political party and political ideology as it suits him.
But what about the statement he made earlier. Is he a small child to be forgiven for lying to us, the people?Or shall he be punished. Punishment meaning ignorance to him and his lies. The way is clear, if the party gives him seat in the proportiante the people should protest the party.
What he has done is not merely his thoughts and actions but his consideration of the people as lambs (bhedaharu). This must meet an end. And the CPN(UML) leaders should be aware that their own image has been downed to mere politicians and not national decision factors.
Other things are upto you to decide.
