2012 has come to an end and the beginning of the New Year would be a good time to reflect on the year gone by. Have you had the time to look back on how you spent the past year?

हाम्रा पुर्खा र अग्रजहरुले देखाएको सुमार्ग ,आदर्श बलिदानका गाथाहरुलाई शिरोधार्य गर्न नसके स्व मदन भण्डारीले राजालाई चुनौती दिदै श्रीपेज खोलि आए आफु चुनाब लड्ने र जनताको बलले हराउने छौ भनि भने जस्तै कुर्सिको मोहलाई बलिदान दिन नसके यो सामुन्द्रिक आंधीले ठुलो तहस नहस अवश्य गर्ने छ ।कुर्सिको मोह र सत्ता कब्जा गर्ने नियति र कूबिचार कुनै पनि स्वाभिमानी नेपालीमा नउब्जियोस । यसले कसैको भलाई गर्दैन र यो पाठ हामी सबैले सिक्नु पर्ने हुन्छ ।

भानु भक्त ,मोतीराम र पृथ्वी नारायण शाहले नेपाली भाषा प्रति देखाएको श्रद्धा ,चिन्तन र दर्शनलाई हामी र हाम्रा पिढीले संरक्षण गर्नु पर्दछ । हाम्रो भाषा हामी सबैको प्रतिष्ठा र गौरब हो । सबैले नेपालीले यसको मर्म र भावना बुझ्न सके हाम्रो भाषा पतन हुनबाट जोगिन्छ र हाम्रो पहिचान कालजयी हुनेछ ।

Milan Rai is a talented young visual artist, who has made it his mission to transform Kathmandu into a butterfly city. That wasn’t his initial plan though.
