I somehow managed to get myself out from the bed, as a clock near me started tickling at five and a half in the morning. When I touched my feet on the floor, I couldn't able to stand for a while, but I tried well and found me limping like an injured player walking off the field. It made me little scary because I have a long to go for the whole day. After having honey-lemon juice, I got a little up to mark. Later thought, it might be the result of my late night sleep. In a very short span, I electrified myself and a flamboyant look in a faddish dress flourish me little :P . Then, my mind started buzzing with a series of words: ‘Jamal’, ‘6:15’, ‘work’, ‘punctuality’ and much more. I packed my bag with my necessary accessories and got off from my room, it was already fifty past five. Shantinagar Gate is about 1 Km, from where I’m residing and need to catch a bus from there. Generally, it takes me around 10-12 mins. I knew, it would be very hard for me to be on time. Then, withou...

फाेटाेग्राफर, विजय लामिछाने "ल याे पाेष्ट पढ त ।" यति भन्दै मेसेन्जरकाे तिखाे आवाजले QFX काे लबिकाे सन्नाटालाई दुर गराईदियाे र एकछिनमै यउटा फाेटाे देखा पर्याे । जसमा कफि पिउदाका केहि बेफाईदाहरु लेखिएका थिए । सबैभन्दा अन्त्यमा चाहिँ दैनिक ८० कप कफि पिउदा ज्यान जानसक्छ भन्ने धम्किपुर्ण बुँदा पनि लेखिएकाे थियाे । "याे सब बकवास हाे" मैले धेरै पछि मात्र रिप्लाउन भ्याएँ । "हाे थाहा छ, तिमी हाेटल म्यानेजमेन्टकाे विद्यार्थी हाै, तिमीलाई फुड एण्ड बेभरेजकाे राम्राे ज्ञान हाेला तर म पनि नर्सिङकि विद्या र्थी हुँ । मलाई पनि कुन चिज स्वास्थकाे लागी हानिकारक र कुन चिज फाईदाजनक हुन्छ, राम्राे शीत थाहा छ । मेराे भनेकाे मान्छाै भने, खुरुक्क कफि खान कम गर त ।" रिस र मेराे पुर्ण ख्याल राख्दै उनले लेखिन् । "किन पिउछाै यति धेरै कफि?" मैले जवाफ फर्काउन नपाउदै च्याट रुममा अर्काे प्रश्न थपियाे । मैले पनि ठट्याैली तर सत्य थपेर भनिदिए "के गरम त ? तिमी त यहाँ छैनाै त्यसैले तिम्राे अनुपस्थितीमा यहि यउटा कफिलाई अँगालेकाे त छु ।" "मेराे ...

Unnati Maharjan म अल्छी भए या यो दिन अल्छी भएको हो ? केहि गर्नै मन नलाग्ने । बिनाकारण नै रिस उठदै छ । केही बेरमा आफै साम्य हुन्छु । मन कतै रमाएको छैन । बाहिर हेर्छु एकछिन मै टन्टलापुर घाम लाग्छ र एकछिन मै आकाश नै खस्ला जस्तो हुने । के यो दिन स्थिर बस्न सक्दैन ? कति जिस्काउन सकेको यसले मलाई ?  के आज आकाश पनि कसैको यादमा रुन चाहेको हो ? तर म बेचैन छु । पढ्न बस्छु भनेर किताब खोले, तर सकिँन । एक निन्द्रा सत्न पाए मन मलुका हुन्थ्यो क्यार । तर निदाउन सक्नु अर्को कुरा, निदाई हाले उसैलाई सपनामा देखे भने के गर्नु ? उसको सपना देखिँरहदा मेरा आँखा खुल्न मान्दैनन । विपनाका कुरा सपनीमा पनि पिछै नछोड्ने भएका छन । म स्लिइप प्यारालाईसिस को सिकार भएको छु । जे पर्ला, एक फेर सुतेँ । ज्यान के हलुका हुन्थ्यो झन टाउको भारी भएर आयो । मुटुको भेग सुन्न सक्छु । पेटमा मुसा दौडेको जस्तो भयो । म पेटको अवस्था अनुमान गर्न सक्छु । बिहान देखी पेटमा केहि परेको छैन । गाउँ छोडेर शहरमा पढ्न आए देखि मेरो खाने टाइमको कुनै ठेगान छैन । पकाएर खाने जागर चले पो खानु । उता घरमा हुँदा पो आफु उठ्ने बेला खाना पाक...

I went to a flash back this morning. Went back to a time when I was about six years or so. I felt sad for a stupid reason. I saw a pump-set, say a electric motor,  being used to drain underground water for irrigation. This reminded me 'Aayo' (did it come) and 'Aayena' (haven't come yet) game. The game of stupidity, the game of child's curiosity or say the game of nothing; I have no perfect explanation. Time was different then it is today. There was no problem for irrigation. Water used to run in the stream twice a year. Though it was a long journey for river water to make, but in absence of human exploitation to nature the journey was quite possible : journey through fields and overflowing through traces. Few kilometers of flow would even crossing an East-West highway and enter our village. This was a major and only irrigation back then. I am sure it's about a decade and one more to become soon. 500 meters of road had enough excitement to bring energy in f...

Xubuntu and other Linux distros may not have font viewer. This forbids you to install fonts. However, we can install fonts without font viewer in Linux. Fonts can be installed in these simple steps. 1) Open Terminal and type sudo thunar type your su password [password isinvisible] 2) browse to File System --> /usr/share/fonts/truetype 3) Copying all fonts you are trying to install in a New folder. 4) Close Thunar 5) Go back to TERMINAL and type sudo fc-cache -f  6) Exit terminal with exit command. Your font is installed now.

Kernel version 4.0.1 was released few days before Debian 8 Jessie was released. Jessie is not packed with kernel 4.0.1 (stable). So updating is a cool idea. Step 1: Download the kernel 4.0.1 tar.xz file from www.kernel.org and copy in Desktop Installation Process: Step 2: Go to Desktop directory cd Desktop Step 3: Run unxz tool unxz linux-4.0.1.tar.xz Step 4: Unzip Tar tar xvf linux-4.0.1.tar Step 5: Open Kernel Directory cd linux-4.0.1 Step 6: For a fresh installation, run make menuconfig Note: This might give an error message. Thus necessary library package needs to be installed. apt-get install libncurses5-dev Step 7: Run step 6 if it didn't work install all necessary packages, with sudo apt-get install fakeroot build-essential kernel-package ncurses-bin ncurses-dev Step 8: Run step 6 Blue screen appears. Check whether everything is OK. When finished - use tab to select "Exit" or "Cancel" Step 9:...
