Rafting
With life jacket on, oar gripped in hands, one of the feet locked to avoid being catapulted, move the oar to and fro as per the guide’s command, be prepared to beat numerous currents commonly known as “rapids”, be alert to the rocks on the way and confront with swirling rapids to meet the end point on time unhurt is what we can sum up the adventurous aqua-sport ‘rafting’ in.
Nepal owns various rivers.Among them Sun Koshi, Tama Koshi, Bhote Koshi and Trishuli are the major ones which cater to the admirers of derring-do with fun and adventure throughout the game.
The guide teaches you the commands at first which you’ll have to follow to avoid the jerks and have fun of adventure to its fullest in a safe way. The commands comprise of forward, backward, left forward, right forward, left back, right back, stop and hang on in general.
You must follow the commands of the guide to feel the ecstasy of rafting in a safe manner as s/he is well versed in the techniques, autonomy can be resulted in catastrophe. There are life boats and rescuers in kayaks to save you from drowning in the case the boat overturned or you simply fell off the boat due to imbalance. In such a case, all you have to do is try to swim towards the boat and signal the rescuers without being panicked.
So what are you waiting for? Just pick a backpack and set out for the sensation.

Better late than never
Last week my eyes fell upon a life story full of repentance and confession of guilt in a magazine under "Jeevanko Goretoma" column and stuck for some time.It really touched my heart as his very guilt had crushed my friend Shyam's life and happiness to pieces in fact.
To relate,Shyam fell in love with a tenth grader neighboring girl 11 years back whom he proposed,she reciprocated and both eloped.He managed for her further studies and sent her learn fashion designing course as per her interest paying a hefty sum as fees.His parents also treated her daughterly and poured all their love over her.For almost five years time flowed swiftly showering all conjugal bliss to their laps.By that time a cute girl-child had already borne to them and the family was enviably a happy lot.
She started working in a boutique and it's then that their happy life took a dramatic twist.As in Shakespearean tragedies ,Purushottam, a 13 year senior to her and a neighbouring person,entered their life as an antagonist as Mrs.Shyam and Purushottam had to catch the same bus for their work places.They were often seen together.She treated him brotherly but he had ill-will towards her which she was totally unaware of.On further acquaintances he always gave her sly leer.In the course of time a rumour of their affair induced and soon spread like a wildfire.Shyam, decent in character,tried to settle the dust by talks.Calling him up,he -without any iota of abhorence-said that the rumour is only the figment of people's imagination for their calumny and requested him to act according to the vulnerability and seriousness of the matter in humble words.But he took his simplicity as the licence to go further with his henious act.
A fracas ensued between the spouses and they started living separately.Finally they got divorced.
After wrecking havoc and watching its aftermath, he confessed it through a weekly paper using heavy and remorseful words. He,in the story, had considered himself a sticky louse, a sly wolf, a man-eater tiger and a vampire to mention a few. To quote him he has said-"What should be named me who has spoilt two families, injected poison to the family members, stranded a wife and a mother to far afield, smothered a child from a mother's love.An assasin?a homicide beast? or what else? I must be named as an assassin so a mean suicide wouldn't be enough to compensate to the entire loss caused solely by me. Therefore, living rest of my life in agony of remorse would be a penance for me. Fie at me ! Shame on me !"
He had,though late,confessed but can the glue of his atonement ever rejoin the family relationship and all former happiness in form that had been scattered around into pieces?
