Beating crisis-Rainwater Harvesting

Image
   W e usually head towards dry months when thermal units start ascending. But this year with climate's heavy blow of rainless winter we had to witness the onset of dry season prior to normal time.    During dry season, drinking water crisis matters the denizens of Kathmandu most since condition of drinking water supply throughout the country is bad, being worse in the Kathmandu Valley .    We, Kathmanduites, got water supply alternatively or once in a blue moon and many a time we had to keep vainglorious night vigils for the glimpse of water drops even in normal seasons. So,how this season will show its colour is not beyond imagination.    Though the authority concerned is reported to have been exercising to provide more water supply, it won't meet even a half of consumers' need.

Congratulations to all

After a long span of our endurance (Labour pain?) and tremendous efforts to put pressure on College Management to provide the outcome of our academic efforts, the grade sheets of MA MCJ II semester has come to our hands. To go quite nostalgic,I had expected at least A grade in six out of seven subjects in the I semester. I had worked very hard in the class and even performed really nice in the examinations. So, as per my performance, I deserved A grade in six, if not seven subjects. But, to my chagrin, I could only secure four A's and had to resort on three B's. The experience of I semester grades had compelled me to expect two or three A's in total in the II semester as I had not been able to perform that satisfactorily due to various problems including illness. "Exams are predictable but result are not", they say. And I happened to experience it exactly after seeing the grade sheets of both I and II semseter. The outcome of both the semester performa...

W ith 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, autono...
