  1. Humble and honest thoughts. But many of us have thought in the similar way. I have expressed my views many times-with my friends, at forums and where ever possible. So must be you. We have done enough of thinking and enough of expression. We have seen thinking won't work. Let alone expression won't work. Blaming the politicians and King can't work. What have I done to blame others for the failure of the country? What have I done except thinking? If thoughts mattered, KP Bhattarai thought about transforming Kathmandu into Singapore. Gyanendra thought about taming the maoists and bringing peace in the country. Prachanda thought about instating an ideal socialist state where there would be no difference between riches and poor. All nice thoughts. Now stop thinking about the country my friend. What do you want to do for the country? Have you any idea about how you can make a solid contribution in a small thing in your town or your village? Can you forget what politicians did, go back to your country and volunteer yourself for a year to build something? If you don't want to go, can you contribute your 10% income in building one infrastructure in your neighbourhood. If you can, I can help you with another 10%. There will be another to join us. Are you ready mate? Do you want to do something? I have thought enough. I wrote hundreds of pages telling people how things should happen. It never materialised. So do you want to do something with me, if motherland worries you so much? regards, nononsense.
  2. खुशी लाग्यो ह्याँ त हाम्रो बटौलीका साथीहरुको जमघट रैछ ल। म पनि त्यो तिनाउ खोलाका पुल नजिकै, खोलाको छेउमा टाँसिएको स्कूलमा पढेको। अहिले त पारीतिर स‌-योरे। ल गफ चुट्दै गरम बटौली तिरको।
  3. This £3000 is for home students whose expenses are funded by the state, granted to the universities. But top universities charge lot more and the bulk of the money raised through students come from foreigners who are charged 3-5 folds more than the locals in average. And remember, the figures are in pound not in dollars. Saying so, we must accept the fact that the quality of education in the UK has plummeted in the recent decades. Its definitely because education is being terribly underfunded in recent times. US universities are doing good because they have involved private sector investment and collected money through donors and enhanced their fund. Besides, UK is a small country and it is more in need of skilled labourers than highly educated manpower, except in certain technical fields. Thats why you can find university graduates all over the low profile job market. As state funds for home students, people tend to take university degree but the job prospect for them is limited. Hence end up in non-specialized job market. People are in favour of a complete shake up in the education system and ''Should there be fewer universities, more focused on academia and scholarship (in the sense that it's designed to produce scholars), and more schools designed to prepare for professional careers? Should university education as it is now be made more or less widely available? If standards are relaxed to let more people in, will the quality of the education necessarily go down?'' Many would agree. The influx of students in university is attributed to higher pass percentage in A-levels and pundits are urging for a harder curriculum in the GCSE and A-levels so that lesser students are availble for universities, meaning less pressure for the universities.
  4. Well, get a visitor's visa. Find Nepalese friends in the UK. They might help you get a job. Work and experience the British way of life for a couple of months. Round up your trip with a visit to surrounding European countries and go back to USA. In terms of finding work, I guess its easier in the US than in the UK. If you want to get a British degree, you can come as a student anyways. Good luck mate.
  5. 'Student work' visa sounds a bit unfamiliar to me. Students are allowed to work for 20 hours a week during term times and more during holidays. But thats a student visa. Work Permit is issued at the behest of the British establishments/company to the foreign office(ministry) and the holders can work full time, but than this has no relationship with studentship. Research assistantship for PG student is unrelated to your topic. Theres another visa issued for highly skilled immigrants, this is irrelevant too, in your case. If you intend to come to the UK with a student visa, you've got to find work once you are here. If you have certain expertise and can compete and win a position where people from outside the UK can apply, you will get a work permit. For Highly skilled immigrant visa, you got to prove your merit at the visa consulates. As a student, you got to enroll at a UK educational institution and find job/jobs for you once you land in the country. But first you've got to make clear about where you are, what you are doing now and what exactly you want to do in the UK? I am afraid I have no idea if people from outside the privileged group of nations -EU, Australia, SA, Newzealand and few commonwealth countries get a purely working visa of certain duration, unless the individual is specifically sought in by UK based establishment. May be other WNSO members have more valuable info on this regard.

    wow Great. But very far from me as I live in the west. Anyways, hope to join you guys on one of the Sundays. BTW how far is the ground from the tube station? How to be there?
  7. Hey love_united its nice to see cricket enthusiasts in WNSO as well. As you are in Kathmandu, you must be quite familiar with the cricketing exploits of our young players these days. They fared wonderfully well when Shakti Gauchan, Binod Das, Lakpa Lama were at the peak of their form. It was always nice to watch them play at the TU ground some years back. I guess many of those in the previous team have cemented their place in the senior side. Ofcourse, I am very much eager to know about the standard of the present team and it will be wonderful if you could update us about whats happening in the tournament from there, in wnso. I think they are the best non-test playing team in Asia and they should win the tournament in the home turf. looking forward
  8. This DV lottery is contributing to make our Nepal more ugly while brightening a few thousand faces.
  9. Indeed Bush does what God tells him to do. One night God will come to him and say- hey Bush, yow followed my command and invaded Iraq. Now I tell you to attack Iran, go and do it for me. And God's loyal devotee Mr Bush will do exactly what his god want from him. he has become the president to carry out the orders of Lord.
  10. I think very few women can handle the truth better but the number of men is even fewer.
  11. I think distant memory meant to try to give a different message. Like, a secular society free of religious superstitions fare peace and harmony in a society. Nations that are free of religious extremism at least and totally secular at the most are doing well with coping to terrorism than the rest. The demand to ban religion might attract hatred from fanatics but the truth is an atheist society has become a better place to live on than the others. I support to the message that distant memory is trying to relay from here.
  12. B-malji the way you have tried to compare the quality of education in terms of practical and theory suggests that you are a student of applied science (Pardon me if I have assumed wrong). It is obvious that courses of science theory in abroad appear to be weaker for students from Nepal (and South Asia as a whole), for we have studied the whole bundle of books and learned so many equations and definitions by heart during our early phase of higher education. But seldom were we taught how to translate those theories into practicality. Hence our knowledge confined on the definitions we could keep in our mind and to the period till our memory run out. Does it have any significance if we can’t implement our understanding of scientific theory into real practical work? I don’t think so. Therefore, quality of education rests on how much we can learn to put what we study into practise. Hence, practical education is given more priority in the developed world. It is normal that the university courses here are more prone to practical, and that’s exactly the way you make good progress in your field while going for your job. In Nepal, we had to learn about so many things, but never could we perform an experiment without flaws. In here, you have specialisation on a limited number of topics but you can perform them practically without any glitches. I think the later is better than the former when you finally reap the reward of your education. May be you will be used to with the new style of education some day and dislike the way students are taught in Nepal. Feeding theories, I think, do not help achieving desired results. Quality of education in UK is way better than in Nepal. But than it depends which institution you are studying at, I mean whether you are studying at a recognised university/college or not. There’s one exception though. I think mathematics is better taught in Nepalese school than in here. I have found these people and pupils really bad at maths.
  13. Hello Sachin. Shrbinay's suggestions will be helpful for you. You can find out various US universities from the internet or from the American centre in Kathmandu and then contact them asking if they can evaluate your credits to transfer you for the 4th year of undergraduate degree. As you have already had more than three years of working experience, the chanches are there for you to get a direct admission to MS as well, in some universities. You got to get good TOEFL scores, produce a fine academic record and impressive references from one of your professors and employers. Hopefully that will be helpful for MS admission or atleast credit transfers for a semester's or two's undergraduate degree. The best thing is to make a choice of a handful of universities. Directly contacting the department and being persuasive will help. One of my brothers had just secured a 4th year placement in BSc Biotechnology in the US with credit transfers from 3 years BSc in microbiology in Nepal. Good look with your endeavours.
  14. Hidden Angelji, further to your enquiry about chathamhouse, here are the links for you to know what it is and where it is: - http://www.riia.org/ - http://www.riia.org/index.php?id=12 It's nice to know that you are going to give a speech for open learning program. Some of my Nepali friends, along with their colleagues, from various Universities have also said that they have been invited for touring and giving opinions for various programs. They said thats very regular and happens every time of the year. Best of luck for your speech.
  15. I had read this artice some days ago and it is quite impressive. Living through the middle of an insurgency, a coup, and daily street protests, it is natural to feel that the fundamental problems for Nepal are political. But here is a 15 year old Korean boy who recently volunteered in a school in Nepal writing his perspective. Young unbiased minds are always impressive. This is worth reading for self-pondering.
