Giving continuity to Nepal's earlier stance on Limpiyadhura Triangle, the Balendra Shah Government in press statement objects to announcement by India and China to use Lipulek pass for trade and pilgrimage. "New Delhi and Beijing have once again been informed through diplomatic channels... Nepal remains committed to resolving the dispute (with India) through dialogue."
MEA Official Spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal responds to media queries regarding comments made by Foreign Ministry of Nepal on border issue in the context of the Kailash Mansarovar Yatra
He says, "India’s position in this regard had been consistent and clear. Lipulekh Pass has been a long standing route for the Kailash Manasarovar Yatra since 1954 and the Yatra through this route has been going on for decades. This is not a new development.
As regards territorial claims, India has consistently maintained that such claims are neither justified nor based on historical facts and evidence. Such unilateral artificial enlargement of territorial claims is untenable.
India remains open to a constructive interaction with Nepal on all issues in the bilateral relationship, including on resolving agreed outstanding boundary issues through dialogue and diplomacy."

Over-optimising everything in life has reached annoying levels. Sugar, sleep, workouts, screen time, carbs, protein, steps, calories, macros, water intake, coffee timing, caffeine cutoffs, skincare routine, posture, morning routines, productivity hacks, journaling, meditation, breath work, gut health, supplements, cold plunges, dopamine detoxes, financial engineering, side hustles, systematic investing, step counts, sleep scores, sunlight exposure, meal timing, fasting windows, habit trackers... At some point, we have got to loosen up and just live a little.
Unfortunately, a nearly two-thirds majority government has shown clear immaturity and taken completely wrong steps. This will not only lead them in the wrong direction but may also push the entire country into a vicious cycle of conflict. पहिलो गाँसमै ढुङ्गा!
Trump’s top two goals in the war:
(1) No Iranian nuclear weapon.
(2) The Strait of Hormuz is open for business.
Just a friendly reminder that we already had both before the war.
Balan government has boldly moved to implement Karki Commission's Report by arresting Oli and Lekhak. Hope the same boldness and efficiency will be applied in bringing out Home Minister Sudan Gurung's conversations with security officers during the two days of Gen.Z uprising.
४८ सालमा पुरानो दल(पन्च)को हालत पनि करिब करिब यस्तै यस्तै थियो। न तिनीहरू सुध्रे, शक्ति बने - न अहिलेका पुराना सच्चिन्छन्, सुध्रन्छन्।
हार्छन्, फुट्छन्। र इतिहास दोहर्याईरहन्छन् !
कसैले कसैको इज्जत गर्दैन, नेपालमा।
यो कस्तो अचम्मको ठाउँ हो, जहाँ सबैले सबैलाई चोर, बदमास, दलाल र झोले भन्छन्।
आदर्शहरू नभएको समाज यस्तै हुन्छ।
हामीले बुझ्न नसकेको कुरा के हो भने—थोरबहुत कमजोरी नभएको मान्छे नै हुँदैन।
आदर्श नभएको समाज बन्नुका धेरै कारणमध्ये एउटा कारण मात्र भन्छु, अरू धेरै कारण त तपाईंलाई थाहा नै छन्।
अघिल्लो पुस्ताका केही स्वनामधन्यहरूले गत दशकहरूमा ‘आलोचनात्मक चेत’ को नाममा ‘आलुचनात्मक चेत’ को ढलेलो नेपाली समाजमा लगाए।
खोटखोजक, विश्वनिन्दकहरूको सानो झुण्ड नै आफूलाई नायक–नायिका ठान्न थाले।
तर आजको दिनमा ‘आलुचनात्मक चेत’ वाला त्यो झुण्ड पनि बजारमा आफू महत्वहीन बन्दै गएको पीडा महसुस गर्दैछ।
किनकि, आलुचनात्मक चेतको नाममा फगत निन्दा र खिसीट्युरी गर्ने काममा उनीहरूभन्दा पनि चर्का गुरु–गुरुहरू बजारमा आइसके।
सत्य के हो भने—न हिजोको पुस्ताका सबै खराब थिए, न आजको पुस्ताका सबै असल छन्।
फगत उमेर र पुस्ताले कोही स्वतः असल वा खराब हुने ग्यारेन्टी दिँदैन।
सबै पुस्ता मिलेर जाँदा राम्रो।
ऊर्जा र अनुभव एकैसाथ हिँड्न सके राम्रो।
तर पुरानाले साथ नदिए, नयाँले एक्लै हिँडेर पनि सृजना गर्ने साहस देखाउनुपर्छ वा पालो पर्खनु पर्छ ...

Irrespective of what one thinks of PM Oli's regime or his future, the same toolkit gets used suspiciously often in the neighbourhood. We saw similar use of students as fodder in Bangladesh, Sri Lanka etc. We saw something similar in Indonesia just last week but it petered out. So, it does raise the question of how "organic" these things are.

A South African man proposed to his girlfriend at KFC, and a journalist shamed him on Twitter for being "broke." The backlash led to companies offering to fund the couple's dream wedding and support their new life together.
