First block finished!!

Filed under: manoz

I have finished my first block of study at my university. We have block system of study here in Maharishi University of Management( http://www.mum.edu/compro ). That is one course at a time. This is my first experience in the block system of study. I used to study in yearly system, and then I moved to semester based and now block system.

 

I found this ‘one course at a time’ approach, a very good one. It releases the stresses of doing 4 or 5 subject lab work, home works, projects etc at time and it helped me to concentrate on my one subject study moreover I had to concentrate on a single subject. This is really a nice experience for me but on the other side I had no time to feel free, not even in Sundays, its because, we need to finish a whole subject in four weeks and every day is very crucial. Regular quizzes, midterms, project and final exam didn’t let us to waste a single day.

 

I had FPP(Fundamental Programming Practice) as my first course, initially I thought it would be very easy for me coz I had already taken ‘Java Programming’ as elective in my undergraduate course. But, to my surprise, it was very different, not in the course content but the way of teaching,  the depth covered here and the test of creativity was very different than from Nepal. Even though I’ve not expected a very good grade in FPP, I enjoyed the course.

 

 Now I need to prepare for my next course that is Modern Programming Practice, its a 15 days block and I can guess the work load in the days ahead.

Happy New year 2064

Every new year people make resolutions to change aspects of themselves they believe are negative. A majority of people revert back to how they were before and feel like failures. This year I challenge you to a new resolution. I challenge you to just be yourself.

Most Pokhara hotels booked for New Year

Filed under: manoz


 

BY KULCHANDRA NEUPANE

 

POKHARA, April 13 - Hotels in Pokhara are jam-packed lately, following tourist influx in the city on the eve of Nepali New Year that falls on Saturday.

Most of the better known hotels are already taken away with large inflow of tourists for the last one week, and the trend continues to grow.

According to hoteliers, some 1,000 tourists are arriving in Pokhara every day by road, flights, including those returning from trekking.

Hoteliers say the number of foreign tourists has nearly doubled in the last one week. Foreigners have booked over 100 rooms in Pokhara’s only 5-star hotel, Fulbari Resort in the last two days. According to Krishna Acharya, front desk officer at the resort, all rooms in the hotel are "fully packed" for new year eve which falls on Friday.

"We are unable to offer accommodation to tourists even if they pledge handsome payments," said Biplav Poudel, vice-chairman of Regional Hotel Association. According to tourism entrepreneurs, Pokhara is receiving huge turnout of tourists also because hotels in Kathmandu and its neighboring outskirts are already packed.

As many tourists have chosen to come to Pokhara, even the airlines have declared their Pokhara-bound tickets sold out. To address the shortage, Yeti Airlines (YA) flew its 30-seater aircraft, which made 10 flights on Thursday alone. "Nearly 300 passengers are coming to Pokhara daily by air," said Amrit Singh, station manager at YA Pokhara office.

Similarly, Buddha Airlines increased its regular flights from six to eight on Thursday.

Equal number of tourists are entering Pokhara by road. According to Hari Sharma, Pokhara chapter chairman of Nepal Association of Tour and Travel Agents (NATTA), some 8-9 tourist buses carry over 300 foreign tourists to the resort town every day. However, he said the number could have been more if highway transportation entrepreneurs had not prohibited tourist buses from carrying domestic tourists.

Likewise, the number of tourists returning from the popular Annapurna trekking route are also increasing as Pokhara gears up for New Year celebrations.

However, tourism entrepreneurs in Pokhara do not have records of Nepali tourists visiting the city.

"Some 400 motorcyclists from Kathmandu will be arriving in Pokhara on Friday for the new year eve," said Bacchuram Tiwari, chairman of Pokhara Hotel Entrepreneurs’ Association. The association has been organizing

attractive packages, street festivals and cultural programs to make Pokhara the most sought-after destination, during the New Year.

Tourists’ per day influx

1. 300 by road

2. 300 by flight

3. 250 through Annapurna trekking route

4. 100 arriving through private means and tour operators

Trouble

Filed under: Lyrics

 

Oh no, I see
A spiderweb is tangled up with me
And I lost my head
And thought of all the stupid things I’d said

Oh no, what’s this?
A spiderweb and I’m caught in the middle
So I turned to run
And thought of all the stupid things I’d done

And I never meant to cause you trouble
And I never never meant to do you wrong
Ah, well if I ever caused you trouble
Oh no, I never meant to do you harm

Oh no, I see
A spiderweb and it’s me in the middle
So I twist and turn
But here am I in my little bubble

Singing and I never meant to cause you trouble
And I never meant to do you wrong
Ah, well if I ever caused you trouble
Oh no, I never meant to do you harm

They spun a web for me
They spun a web for me
They spun a web for me

Spring break is over now!

Filed under: manoz

Today is the last day of my Spring break. It’s amazing how fast days are flying and how much twist and turns are coming into my life. I had few plans for this break but they went in vain. I could not do well in my test and I was thinking about revising my courses slides and revise those lab works but couldn’t do according to the plan. I remember a saying that says “great people think and do accordingly but others think, think and always think”. I don’t mean to say that I am looser but still…

Tomorrow will come again and I should continue with the same old routine. Again that boring lecture and tensed lab sessions, again I need to show smiley face even if I am not happy and again those friends who are more competitors than friends. Living in this country is all about hiding yourself and present a new ‘you’ with others. I don’t think I am frustrated but I am little unhappy with myself. Coz I am taking more time to adjust in these conditions. Lets hope everything goes smooth in near future.
