I am sure many of you type in Romanized Nepali these days as the 'chat' has become so popular. "yesari ta majjale lekhna aauchha ni, jati pani lekhna aauchha", "तर यसरी चाइ कसरी लेख्ने होला?" All of us come across a situation when we have to or we want to type in Nepali, but we have no f**king idea of the Nepali keyboard.  अब के गर्ने होला? Don't worry, here is an easy solution.

Hike to Ghandruk *The trip was made from Kathmandu to Pokhara, then a hike to Ghandruk. ( Jan 20 - 23 , 2016) Difficulty: Medium Total time: 2 hrs bus ride + 5 hrs walk (for amateur hikers) Trail type: Accommodation available? : Yes Accommodation type: Ranging from to luxurious guest houses to homestay (still clean and livable) It is a very short hike, so you could plan your visit to Ghandruk accordingly. You could either spend a night at Pokhara first and then hike to Ghandruk the next day or hike to Ghandruk on the very first day. Well, we did the former one. You can take a bus from Kathmandu to Pokhara. Available buses are local bus (approx. Rs 300), Tourist bus (Rs. 600+), a Micro bus (Rs. 500). If you hate travelling in an overcrowded bus, full of noisy people, local bus is not for you. You could try a Tourist bus or a Micro bus. Both of them are comfortable. Tourist bus is filled with fancy people while Micro bus might have some local people. Tourist bus dri

Something amazing happened #CarpoolKathmandu Carpool Kathmandu must be the recent viral thing in Kathmandu. Due to the 'Unofficial' Blockade by our lovely neighbour India, fuel shortage is hitting Nepal hard, thus leading to low number of public vehicles as well as private transport. And thus, Carpool Kathmandu came into being. Amidst the selfies, #ask, #offer, lift stories, MRR vs. Carpool Kathmandu 'stupid' discussion, stupid ads, unnecessary tantrums by kids, an amazing thing has happened due to this group.   N G La Deuja, one of the members of Carpool Kathmandu shared her story in the group. She shared how she helped a couple, who were visually impaired, get lift to home. She then wrote if anyone would like to help with the education of their children.  After 8 days of the story, Prabhat Sapkota shares this story in the same group. Mr.  Sapkota saw the story shared by Miss Deuja and got inspired to help the kid. Mr. Sapkota has informed through

And I got inked I remember the school days when I would draw small drawings, texts on the back of my hand, arm, feet. I am sure you all did it. But I might be little different to you. I continued this habit till my Bachelor's and even do now. When I felt anxious during exams and couldn't focus, I would just start doodling on my body. Grade 8. I had this stupid idea of having a permanent mark on my hand. I just took a blade (sterilized it by heating, of course) and started cutting marks on my hand and putting colors in the cuts. I have no idea why I did this. I just wanted to have one. Well that didn't work much.  Grade 10 probably. I saw about this traditional method of tattooing. They would pierce swiftly with a pin/needle or something like that and make tattoos. I remembered the traditional tattoos in Nepali context. Women used to have these dots on their faces and hands. One of my classmates had it too. I got curious. I began researching about it. Well

Hike to Chisapani #Nepal   Chisapani  is a popular Hiking destination among tourists and it lies 14 km far from  Sundarijal . Thus climbing the windy path along thick woods and crossing over  Shivpuri Conservation Area  and  Mulkharka , one can reach Chisapani in 4-5 hours. Alternatively, one can choose the way from among Budhanilkantha or Sankhu or Nagarkot of Bhaktapur. via  http://oneclicknepal.com/nuwakot/ Me and some of my fellow hikers went on a  two days, one night hike from Sundarijal to Chisapani. Here are some tips if you are planning a trip as well. :) - Take the bus to Sundarijal from Old Buspark, Kathmandu. - It is a 4-5 hours hike for normal hikers, 2 hours hike for the pros (the army said so), and 6 hours if you are a noob. So prepare you plan accordingly.  - However, I would recommend you to start as early as possible, so that you can see the sunset (if the sky is clear) from Chisapani itself and you could also get to roam around Chisapani. - It i
