appeal for a wicket

Cricket was introduced to Nepal by the ruling Rana dynasty when they returned from studies in England and India in the 1920s, though the game was kept very much for themselves and the other

elite. The Cricket Association of Nepal was formed in 1946 to promote cricket amongst the aristocracy.

When King Tribhuvan overthrew the Rana family in 1951, cricket began to spread to the rest of the population. A team of Nepali players visited India in 1954, and in 1961 the Cricket Association of Nepal became part of the National Sports Council, to attempt to promote cricket in the whole of Nepal, though this tended to be limited to Kathmandu until the 1980s.

ICC membership

Improvements to the communication and transport infrastructures in Nepal allowed the game to expand outside Kathmandu in the 1980s and Nepal became an affiliate member of the International Cricket Council in 1988. A major development programme was begun in the early 1990s, with regional and district tournaments established and cricket being promoted in schools.

The interest in cricket increased quickly, and demand to play was such that teams in tournaments had to be restricted until more facilities were built in the mid 1990s. Nepal became an associate member of the International Cricket Council in 1996,which was the year the national side played for the first time, in the ACC Trophy in Kuala Lumpur, in which Nepal finished fourth out of six teams in their first round group, beating Brunei and Japan.

स्याङजा जिल्ला - an Overview

Syangja

आँधी सेति ज्याग्दी दह्रौ बाड र झार खोला
डहरे थाप्ले हेर्दा लाग्छ आकाशलाई छोला छोला ।
प्राचीन अर्वाचीन दुवैको अद्धितीय सङ्गम स्याङजा ।
धर्म संस्कृती लोककलाको अतुलनीय सङ्गम स्याङजा ॥

चेतन कार्कीका यी हरफहरुले भनिरहेका छन पर्यटन क्षेत्रमा आकाश छुने हैसियत राख्छ स्याङजा जिल्ला ।

स्याङजा जिल्ला ग्रामिण पर्यटनको क्षेत्रमा नेपालको नमुना र पहिलो जिल्ला हो । पर्यटन बर्ष १९९८ मा नेपालमा पहिलो पटक ग्रामिण पर्यटनमा होम स्टेको अवधारणा सहित स्याङजाको शिरुवारीमा शुरु गरिएको थियो । यसको सफलताले मुलुकका धेरै गाँउहरु यो अवधारणा आफना गतिविधि अगाडि बढाइरहेका छन । स्याङजाको यो प्रयाशको सफलताले नेपालमा होम स्टे सम्बन्धमा निर्देशिका तयार हुदैछ । पर्यटन बर्ष २०११ को सन्दर्भमा पहिलो पर्यटन बर्षको शुरुवातले दोस्रो पर्यटन बर्षमा आइपुग्दा मुर्तरुप पाएको छ ।

पर्यटन नगरी पोखरा बाट १३ किमी बाट शुरुहुन्छ स्याङजा । घुम्तिहरुको जिल्ला हो स्याङजा सिद्धार्थ राजमार्गको कुभिण्डे देखि राम्दि सम्मको ८२ किमी मा २५० भन्दा बढि घम्तिहरु छ । सुन्दर आँधिखोलाको किनार अनौठा र कलाही लाग्ने भिर पहरा कफि र सुन्तलाका बगैचाहरुले भरिएको पोखरा र लुम्बिनी जोडने यो मार्ग नै वास्तवमा पर्यटन मार्ग हो । समुन्द्र सतह देखि ३ सय ६६ देखि २५ सय १२ मिटर सम्मको उचाँइ रहेको जिल्लाको क्षेत्रफल १ हजार १ सय ६४ वर्ग किमी छ । आँधीले िसंचेको कालीले घेरेको यो भूमि पवित्र भूमि हो ।

जिल्लाको पर्यटनको विविधिकरण गर्ने हो भने धार्मिक पर्यटनका लागि श्रवणकुमार अन्धाअन्धी दह चण्डी स्थान मनकामना मन्दिर आलमदेवि मन्दिर गह्रौकालिका अकलादेवि भैरवस्थान छायाँक्षेत्र सेतिबेनी केलादीघाट राम्दी क्षेत्र आदी प्रशिद्ध तिर्थस्थलहरु छन । रामायणसंग जोडिएको श्रवणकुमारको समाधी क्षेत्र चिलाउनेवास गाविस ९ मा पर्दछ । भगवान रामका पिता दशरथ शिकार खेल्न आउने क्षेत्र स्याङजा जिल्ला हो । त्यसबखतमा मृगको शिकार गर्न वरपरका खोला नाल सुकाउथे सोहि कारणले चिलाउनेबास गाविस बाट श्रवणकुमार पानी लिन बाङसिङ गाविसको सरादीखोलामा पुगेका थिए । पानी भर्न खाज्दा आएको आवाजमा मृग ठनी बाण हान्दा श्रवणकुमार घाइते भए । उनलाई अन्धा वाआमा भएको स्थानमा पुर् याए त्यहि उनको मृत्यु भयो । विलापमा अन्धा बाआमाको पनि मृत्यु भयो । उनीहरुको आँसुकोकुण्डबाट आँधीखोला मुहान हो ।

वि। स। १०८ देखि निरन्तर पुजा भइरहेको यो मन्दिर शाहबंशीय राजाको कुल देवताका हुन । आलमदेवि गाविस ६ मा पर्ने यो मन्दिर सिद्धार्थ राजमार्गमा पर्ने गल्याङबजार देखि पश्चिममा पर्दछ । करिव ४०० बर्ष पुरानो भिमसेनपातिको बोट छ यो मन्दिरमा यहि पाति नै कुमार पुजारीले फुलका रुपमा भक्तजनले पाउदछन ।

स्वस्थानी ब्रत कथामा आधारित महादेवका पत्नि सतिदेविको अस्तु पतन भएको स्थान छाँयाक्षेत्र छाङछाङदी गाविसमा पर्दछ । सदरमुकाम स्याङजा बजारबाट २२ किमी दक्षिणमा राजमार्गमा नै यसको प्रवेशद्धार रहेको छ ।

पिडिखोला गाविस ८ मा पर्ने सेतिबेनीमा रहेको शिला विश्व कै सबै भन्दा ठूलो शिला हो । यहाँ पुग्न कालीगण्डकी ए जलविद्युत केन्द्र रहेको स्थान मिर्मीबाट ४५ मिनेट स्टिमरमा यात्रा गर्नु पर्दछ । यहाँ वर्ष भरिमा ४८ भन्दा बढि मेला लाग्दछ ।

कालीगण्डकीको किनार स्याङजा र पाल्पाको सिमामा रहेको राम्दी धाम धार्मिक पर्यटनको गन्तब्य हो । तल्लो कालीगण्डकीको र् याफटिङ यात्राको शुरुवात विन्दु पनि यहि नै हो । र् याफटिङका लागि काली गण्डकीको अन्तर्राष्ट्रिय रुपमा चर्चा समेत छ । यहाँ नजिकै गुफा पनि छ ।

पैदल यात्राका लागि तनहँु देखि शुरु हुने मिलेनियम ट्रयाक पहाड देखि तराई जोडने जगत कुवाकोट साखर हुदै चितवन पुग्ने ट्रेकिङ सिरुवारी सिसे्रकोट हुदै मिर्मी काली गण्डकीे रानीमहल सम्मको रानीमहल ट्रेकिङ जस्ता पैदल मार्गहरु रहेका छन ।

ग्रामिण पर्यटनका सन्दर्भमा शिरुबारी सिसे्रकोट बुढाकोट खिलुङ सिरकोट मट्टीखान कृषि पर्यटनकालागि पित्लेक जस्ता सुन्दर गाँउहरु पर्यटकको स्वागतका लागि तयार अवस्थामा रहेका छ । जैविकविविधता ऐतिहासिक स्थान धार्मिक स्थल पंचासे पर्यटकहरुको आकर्षक स्थल लागि तयार अवस्थामा रहेको छ । नेपालको ग्रामिण पर्यटनको उदमस्थल शिरुवारी वर्ष भरि नै आन्तरिक तथा बाह्य पर्यटकको ओइरो लागिरहन्छ । अहिले मुलुकको ग्रामिण पर्यटनको श्रोत केन्द्रको रुपमा विकास भइरहेको छ । सदरमुकाम देखि नै जाने गाडि लाग्दछ । बाडखोला बजारबाट करिव २८ किमीको दुरिमा रहेको यो गुरुङ बस्ति हो । स्वागत सत्कार अतिथी सत्कारको आधार भन्ने उदगार शिरुवारीमा प्रत्यक्ष देख्न पाइन्छ । सूयॊ्रदय स्थानीय खानाका परिकार नेपाली संस्कृति स्वागत सत्कार तथा ग्रामिण समुदाय ब्यवस्थापनका अद्धितिय नमुना गाँउ हो शिरुवारी ।

कृषि पर्यटन अर्को बिशेषता हो । जगतभायाङ गाविसमा पर्ने पित्लेक जहाँ सोलारबाट पानी लिफटिङ गरि तरकारी खेति गरिन्छ । बार्षिक १५ लाख केजी भन्दा बढि गोलभेडा मात्र उत्पादन हुन्छ । त्यस्तै कफि तथा अन्य तरकारीहरुको पनि उल्लेखनिय उत्पादन हुन्छ । यहि पक्षलाई समेटेर कृषि पर्यटनको अवधारणमा गाँउले विकास गरिरहेको छ । हाल सम्म ५५ जिल्लाका सयौ आन्तरिक पर्यटकलाई स्वागत गर्ने मौका पाइसकेको छ यो गाँउले । सिद्धार्थ राजमार्गमा रहेको मिर्दी बजारबाट पुर्व तर्फ हुदै जान सकिन्छ ।

ग्रामिण पर्यटनका लागि तयार रहेका गाँउ अतिथिको सत्कारका आफनो आफनो विशेषताले भरिएका छन । जिल्ला पर्यटन विकास समिति जिल्ला विकास समिति गाउ विकास समिति पर्यटन कार्यालय तथा नेपाल पर्यटन बार्डले पर्यटन सम्बन्धि अभिमुखिकरण गरिरहेको छ ।

जिल्ला ऐतिहासिक पर्यटनका लागि पनि उत्तीकै महत्वपूर्ण स्थानहरु रहेको छ । शाहबंशको प्रथम राज्य चौविसे राज्य र तिनको ऐतिहासिकता महत्वपूर्ण रहेका छन । नेपाल एकिकरणका सन्दर्भमा सतौकोटको युद्ध जहाँ गोरखाली फौजको ठूलो क्षतिका साथ हार बेहोर्नु परेको थियो । जसको सन्दर्भमा बैदिबैरी खोला रजस्थलरणस्थल बुझन र हेर्न अविश्मरणिय स्थान छ । ऐतिहासिक रुपमा नुवाकोट गह्रौसु भिरकोट ऐतिहासिक स्थानहरु जसमा अझै सम्म पनि रहेका दरवार कोतखाना टुडिखेल आदि रानीस्वाराहरु दर्शनिय स्थानहरु छन । साहसिक पर्यटनका लागि प्याराग्लाइडिङका लागि आरुखर्कको गलेम खिलुङ कुवाकोटको वायोडााडा सिसे्र्रकोट अत्यन्त्ा उपयुक्त मानिएका छन ।

३ वटा ट्रेकिङ रुट ८ वटा ग्रामिण पर्यटकिय गाँउ ५ भन्दा बढि गुफाहरु र धार्मिक पर्यटनका लागि प्रसिद्ध धाम तथा मन्दिरहरु साहसिक पर्यटनका लागि र् याफटिङ प्याराग्लाइडिङ पौराणिक ऐतिहासिक स्थलहरु मनोरम अनेकन थुम्का र बेसिहरुले सजिएको जिल्ला हो । गुरुङ मगर नेवार माझी संस्कृतिको अनुपम संगम रहेका छ । नेपालको ग्रामिण बस्ति सत्कार आत्मिय अनुभव स्थानीय खानाका परिकारका लागि स्याङजा संगम स्थल हो । धान देखि स्याउ सम्म फल्ने तराई दखि हिमालको अनुभव लिन सकिने नेपालको पूर्ण स्वाद छ स्याङजा जिल्लामा ।

जिल्ला पर्यटन विकास समितिले पर्यटन बर्ष भित्र आन्तरिक तथा बाहय पर्यटक गरि १ लाख पर्यटक भित्राउने महत्वकांक्षी लक्ष्य लिएको छ । यसका लागि राष्ट्रिय तथा अन्तर्राष्ट्रिय स्तरमा सम्पर्क समन्वय गरिएको छ । यस अभियानमा स्याङजाको अभियान राष्ट्रका लागि हो लक्ष्यलाई उपलब्धिमा बदल्न स्याङजाबासीहरु सम्बन्धित सबैमा सहयोगको अपेक्षा गर्दछ ।

Communication

How does communication work in our life?

Communication is the most important part of human beings. If it hadn’t been for communication, we would still have been lingering in the woods wearing nothing and hunting for food. Communication enabled us to live in society. We share our ideas and every human being can know what the other knows through communication.

Communication happens with the help of words. Words are made up of letters and they form a language. A language is a basic identity of every person. The language one speaks speaks for him/her. It tells the person’s place of origin and the kind of person s/he is. Language is the basis to proper communication. We need to speak the same or understandable language to communicate properly. There is always a better communication between people speaking the same language and it serves as a means of emotional attachment among people as well. However, language is never a barrier to communication as even deaf and dumb people communicate without even learning any language.

In spite of a perfect knowledge of language in two people, their communication can never be perfect as communication is not merely about speaking but it also depends on viewpoints, knowledge and attitude of a person. This is known as the mental filter of a person. This affects the perception and understanding of a person when he is communicating with another person with a different kind of mental filter. Two people, most often, react differently in the same situation. They use different words or act differently in response to the same message. So, communication can never be predefined. It is different according to people’s mental filter n two person’s have the same mental filter.

Moreover, communication is not a natural process. It is learnt in due course through social and environmental schooling. In modern world, it is even learnt through course books. So, the learning process also affects the mental filter of a person. Also, our critical thinking ability, economic status, native place, gender and age affect our communication style and choice of words. Our family members are the most influential in our way of communication. Our locality, kins and peers also have a major impact on how we communicate. However, there is a part played by our personal interest and our role models in our communication process.

Communication is not merely a exchange of facts among people. In fact, it mostly involves our perception of many things and even abstract ideas. Communication includes talks of future planning, imagined things, guesses, personal views and many things which differ from person to person. This shows that communication helps people tell things which they feel, see or imagine in their own way and what people tell is mostly not the exact reality.

In business, communication plays a vital role. Communication helps to make deals, exchange goods and make profit eventually. A manager with a good communication skill gains success by sharing good things in a nice way but a lack of the same leads people to failure in spite of having better ideas. Communication helps to increase trust and reliability among business leaders. Trust and reliability are very important in any business as it is all about give and take of money. That is why most work time of people in business is spent in communication. However, only a small part of it is productive and the rest is on trivial topics which in fact make the basis to a big deal. For this reason, a lot of money is spent in any organization for communication purpose.

Above all, communication is the most vital process in every person’s life. We spend so much time and money in communicating with other people in order to maintain a relationship, earn money, create happiness, give message, tell the fact and make base for next communication or meeting. It is all to live a happy life with people around us till the end.

Bouddhanath, Kathmandu, Nepal

Nepal is a country with wonders. The capital city Kathmandu (along with Bhaktapur and Lalitpur) is known as the city of temples. The city was ruled by many kings of different dynasty who have highly contributed in making this city so beautiful with temples and monuments. Specially the malla kings who built the three Durbar Squares can never be forgotten. The shah dynasty, who were overthrown recently, resided in the Narayanhity Palace. It has now been converted to a museum and a museum like such cannot be left without visiting. The three Durbar Squares add largely to the beauty of the capital city. Besides, there are numerous other temples and religious places of all religion in Kathmandu such as the Swayambhunath, the Bouddhanath, the Pashupatinath temple etc. In addition to the religious identity of capital, the numerous hill satations such as Nagarkot, Dhulikhel, Kakani, Lakuri Bhanjyang, Shivapuri, Sundarijal, Chisapani etc around the valley add a identity of natural beauty to the city. These are some few items of importance in the city. There are numerous other which are yet to be mentioned. Once is not enough so visit again is what Kathmandu always says.
