Trends in Nepali social media

Moin Uddin

How often do you read news and keep track of every of its segments? Do you read something that last for 3-4 days and suddenly you get off from the news which you read the day before and step into the trend of reading different trending news?

Yes, trading news, have you heard of it? If not then, here I present you with some of the headlines and its stories that took front cover news of various newspapers and it soon became a talk of everyone and most shared news on the social networking sites.

 And suddenly each news stories effects were declining as with the other popular news were getting launched in the media.

If we look into the news that we talked and shared in the last month –august – then, 3 major news shared the limelight.

On Aug 6, 2014, the notorious gangster Dinesh Adhakari aka Chari was encountered by the police near Bhimdhunga area, who was on a Pulsar 220 CC motorbike with registration number BA PA 3112. The not so popular Chari and his girlfriend who was a former Miss Teen Nepal, Khusboo Oli – rose into the stardom.

Only few knew them before and – after the news – they both took a first seat of many newspapers.

Khusboo was in all the segments of media –be it in a social media, YouTube, newspaper, radio, television and the most hilarious part was that the media person were sitting in a queue to take her interview.

Even a general people wrote about her and her late boyfriend Chari's killing in their FB statuses.

The news was trending at its peak that suddenly the shocking news of the demise of Nepali actor Shree Krishna Shrestha was shared in the social networking sites.

 He was suffering from pneumonia and died in the hospital at New Delhi, India. His movie was just released few days ago and it has only been a month that he married to Shweta Khadki who is also the actress and they both performed in their movie "Kohinoor".

Soon, the interest of the people shifted towards this news.

Khusboo's popularity was declining and Shweta as well as her husband's popularity was increasing. She and Shree Krishna Shrestha became the talk of every tea shop to a high official dignitary.

And suddenly the next news of the former contestants of Miss Nepal 2010 as well as the media personality, Sahana Bajracharya and Suaj Giri of Kantipur television was dragged into a scandal controversy.

The news went viral as "Sanghu Weekly Newspaper" spread the news that they had an adult time in the car on Aug 11, 2014 at around 3 am near Chitwan district.

Almost every newspaper along with social networking sites and their FB pages were flooded with the queries and hate comments.

The news was highlighted and were mostly shared and the two previous trending news were losing their popularity, however Chari's news was nearly forgotten, but Shree Krishna's news was and Sahana's news were trending.

Later when they took a legal action and released their statement, then the authorities of Sanghu Weekly Paper took the charge of publishing a fake news and there trend were cooling down.

This time around, again in the first week of September i.e. on Sept 4, 2014, Thursday the famous Nepali Female singer Anju Pant made a news in the media, it was not because she sang a beautiful song, instead she rejected singing a song, though the news was shared writing – Anju Pant has rejected because there were the words of Hindu gods as she is a Christian and her religion doesn't allow her to do so.

People were sharing the news and soon almost everyone knew it.

Later in another news shared by different website, she clarified that the news was fake and misinterpreted –she didn't said as were being trended, she clarified that the lyrics didn't suit her, so she declined, but people shared and wrote it adding spices to make it more likeable to the readers to read it.

Trends keep on changing and people's expectation and talks keep on increasing.

Media is a powerful tool and now almost most has access to it – be it of any kind.

Lots of reform as well as destruction took place and also some rose to power and some were brought into streets, this all happened because of the power of media.

With the easy options of posting it online, many are using it in a wrong way and most news are fake.

It's the responsibility of an authority to censor every articles, news, stories before publishing it as the readers, viewers, listeners creates a different vision of the events .

The Authority of Internet Controller needs to bring some reform in this sector and the Internet engineers should bring the mechanism to control it.

So, it's best not to follow the trends and keep on believing in a casual traditional style of news as they were factual and were analyzed before publishing it to the world.

Trend may be good for some extent, but traditional trend remains eternal and it looks classy with an ever green style.

Selfie Pictures

       Moin Uddin

I didn't know that the picture clicked by self is a Selfie until and unless few friends of mine on Face book posted their pictures with the hash tag # Selfie.

Well this is not a new craze, it was since the time immemorial that picture enthusiast would click it by self and would take out the photographs; yes these days with the invention of mobile phone with the front camera has made it easier for the photo lovers to click it by self and post it on social networking sites. Previously, we had to say for others to click the picture. But these days we ourselves are the photographer.

I don't think it's irritating; however putting almost twice-everyday –on Face book is something irritating,

Selfie – are only good – when clicked –from the near angle, for the ones who are photogenic nor it's a totally disaster.

I have seen many pictures which looks absolutely disaster and people are commenting bad of them, 

There are many friends of mine those who have faced humiliation – the bad comments, however some of my friends were applauded as heir photos looked cool when clicked –selfie.

So it's better one understands which angle is best, may be one has to follow a traditional way of clicking pictures that is – letting other to click a picture or to hire a professional photographer than that to be a mock talk of our friends who would go at a café, get a cigarette and a tea and to kill their time, this topic of who looks good or bad on FB – will take their full time and many will enjoy making fun of us.

So be careful while taking Selfie pictures.

Sacrifice is an integral part of our life

-Moin Uddin

Sacrifice is an integral part of our life. Everyone does sacrifice in one or other form. Even a girl wanting to have her own baby sacrifices her virginity.

I faced discrimination and they made me to sacrifice my valuable time in letting one of my colleague's to appear for entrance exams to be held the next day in his hometown–Birgunj.

I was compelled because of my other colleague in a same department and the one who have planned all these – from mid-level management. Some people are players and they like to play with the emotions and with their quality time of the honest employees. I shouldn't have to sacrifice my important tuition as well as the college classes, had the other colleague would help to sort out the problem. They did because of the hatred and jealousy of the one who did our duty thinking we'll manage and he shall go to his hometown worth lots of expectations.

The problem occurred because of lack of understanding and with whom he exchanged the duty were I and my other colleague, but that colleague didn't agreed to do the next night duty and the management called me and forced me to do the remaining night duty of his and I couldn't say no and accepted it.

That means, I need to sacrifice my important classes and while the manager called me and forced his decisions, the tears rolled down my checks and heartfelt a chill. I didn't have any choice, but I tried to help my colleague and asked my other colleague to reconsider to do the night duty, but their personality changed as soon as I asked.

I was in the midst to take a decision, what shall I do? Shall not I accept it and sacrifice my valuable class the next day and help him to go to his home to appear for entrance exam or should I deny leaving all those heartily feelings and act like a stone – one sided businessmen who only thinks for himself.

I choose the other and let him have his time, sacrificing my classes.

I know I have done a right and humanly thing. Though I didn’t get any reward except my own tears, but I know my good work and sacrifices to help others will reap a better future – someday sooner or later.

I feel that one who is true and help others in need and does his work honestly will be a true champion in a life, though the process will be long.

I want to stand tall in this regard to sacrifice in winning the hearts of millions and I stand on my own definition.

कहिले काहिं तपाईलाई लाग्दैन हामी मानिसको जीवन २ घण्टे या ३ घण्टे बलिउड पिल्मको जस्तो हो भनेर, जहाँ जे कुरा देखाउँछन, हामी मनोरञ्जन मानेर या कहिले मनलाई सम्हाल्दै आँखाबाट मुटु साच्ँचीकै चिमोट्दै पानीमा डुबाउँदै खुर्सानी दलेर घाउमा लगाउँदै गर्दा जुन प्रकारको जलन हुन्छ, हो टपटप आँसु पनि झर्दा साह्रै तितो चटपटी गाली पनि हामी त्यस फिल्मका खलपात्रको लागि प्रयोगमा यसरी ल्याउछौँ कि टि.भीमा रोमान्स एक्लै हेर्दा क्या मज्जा आउँछ, जत्ति परिवार संग हेर्दा लाज लाग्छ, हो ठ्याक्कै त्यसै अनुरुप उसको लागि हाम्रो जिब्रो तल माथि गर्दै बोलेका शब्दले पनि कत्ति आन्नद दिलाउँछ मुटुलाई जब सबै बान्ता ओकेल्दै गर्दा, तर त्यसको गन्ध या अरु कसैको आँखामा मात्र त्यस ओकेलेको कुरामा पर देखि देख्नेलाई घिन लागे सरि तपाईले त्यस चलचित्रका पात्रको लागि प्रयोग गरेको हरिप शब्दले त्यस्तै अनुभुती गराउँछ तपाई वरिपरिकाले सुन्या छ भने । 


र फनपार्कको रोटेपिङ्ग घुम्या सरि हाम्रो जीवन पनि गोलो रुपले माथि र तल गर्दै, ओलिर्दै, चढ्दै जान्छ, डर पनि लाग्छ, मुटु पनि त्यही रÏतारमा घुमिरहँदा ब्रेक फेल भएर उड्लाकी भन्ने चिन्ता–टाउको रिङ्गीछ, सोच्नै सकिरा हुदैन अब के गर्ने भनेर । 


खसुँलाकी र ठूलो भुवाँङ्ग टाउको पर्ला भन्ने चिन्ता, झन त्यो रोटेपिङ्गमा त त्यसको साइडमा ढोकानै राख्या छैन यहाँ काठमाडौंको फनपार्कमा । हार्टअट्याक्ट आयो र बियोस भएर झरे भने त बाउन्सिङ्ग बल जस्तै हामी एक चोटी पृथ्वीमा बाउन्स हुने बित्तिकै सानो छदाँ टि.भिमा केबल तार जोडी कार्टिज हालेर खेल्ने गेम ‘मुन मार्‍र्याे’ खेल्या जस्तै सिधै कि त स्र्वगलोक या त नर्गलोकमा अवश्य पुग्ने ९५ प्रतिशत मौका हुन्छ ।


जे भनेता पनि त्यही बलिउड चलचित्रका र त्यहाँ देखाइएका घटना कुनै दिन आफै संग घट्न पुग्छ अनि लाग्न थाल्छ, कहाँ देख्या थे यो क्या, कहाँ पढ्या थे, कस्तो अपनत्व झै लाइराछ भनेर भन्छौँ र निकै सोच्छौँ र सोच्न बाध्यै बनाउँछ । नसोचुँ भन्दा खेरि मनले खलबली गराउँछ, ओइ कहाँ देख्या थिस्, कहाँ पढ्या थिस् । जब सम्म याद गरिदैन त्यो कुरा तब सम्म छटपटाएर उग्रि गर्छ, दिमागलाई बेइज्जत गर्न कस्सिहाल्छ र निकै प्रेसर मस्तिष्कलाई दिए पछि उसले बाध्य भएर ओकेल्छ, ह्या त्यो त अस्ती हेर्‍र्या पिल्म थियो नि, अँ, त्यै पो हो भनेर ।


जय होस् फिल्म बनाउनेलाई । उसले पहिले भोग्या रहेछ हाम्रो आउनेवाला कहानी, जुन आजको यो अवस्थामा साँच्ची जीवत हुन पुग्यो ।


आखिरमा अबको यो लाइफलाई विश्राम दिनुपर्दैन, बस् हिड्दै गर्दा पछाडी बितेका दिनहरुलाई सोच्दै अगाडि बढेदै जानुस त एउटा २ या ३ घण्टे फिल्म भन्दा फरक केहि पाउनु हुन्न । जाबो २, ३ घण्टा आÏनो  फिल्मी जीवनको लागि मान्छे ६०, ७०, ८०, कोहि त शताब्दी भन्दा नि बेसी जीवन सखाप पार्छन ।


हाम्रो समयको बर्बादी , के रहेछ त जीवन, बस् २ घण्टाको बलिउड चलचित्र पो रहेछ की, तपाईलाई चै के लाग्छ, यसरी आÏनो मुटुका २ पेग शब्द बताइदिनु भए, उत्तम हुनेछ, जनसाधारणलाई ।

किन होला है केटी मान्छेलाई कत्ति गाली गर्न आको ।

मिति : २०७१–०७–०९

किन होला है केटी मान्छेलाई कत्ति गाली गर्न आको, छ्या कस्तो नमज्जा लाग्छ जब आÏनै, त्यही लोग्ने संग माया प्रेम या भनौ मागि बिहे गरेर ९ महिना सम्म गर्भमा हुर्काएर व्यथाले च्यापिएर झनै कसैले त अस्पताल नभई बाटो मै या घरको भर्‍र्याङ्गमै हत्त न पत्त जन्माएकी बच्चा बच्चीले गल्ती गर्दा या भनेको कुरा नमान्दा यस्तो भयंकर मुख छाड्छिनकी के भनौ , यदि त्यो मुख छाडेको वाणी उसले मान्ने भग्वानले तथास्तु भनेर पुरा गरिदिए के हालत हुन्छ ?भनिन्छकी हामीले प्रार्थना गरेको कम से कम दिनमा एउटा प्राथना भग्वानले पुरा गर्छन, यदि त्यो कामना तपाईले आÏनो मान्छेलाई प्रयोग गर्दा भग्वानले पुरा गरिदिए के गर्नु हुन्छ ? फेरि प्रार्थना गर्नुहुन्छ भग्वानलाई गाली गरेर ।

आज भर्खरै म बाटोमा हिड्दै गर्दा एउटी आइमाइले आÏनी बच्चीलाई गाली गरिन, अब खोइ के कुरामा हो, तर उसले बोल्नु नहुने कुरा बोलिन । यो कुरा मैले लेख्नेपर्छ र सबैलाई चेतना जगाउनको लागि लेख्दैछु, कृपया मेरो कुरा सहि लागे सेयर गरेर सक्दो सबै माझ पुर्‍र्याउन सहयोग गरिदिनु होला ।उहाँले भन्नुभयो ,“हेर न यो अलिच्छिनलाई, त्यै आइरा गाडीले नि किच्दैन, किचे त हुन्थ्यो त, आन्द्रा भडि निकालि दिए हुन्थ्यो, कम से कम मर्थी, अनि सबलाई ठिक्क हुन्थ्यो ।

”साहै्र मन दुख्छ मेरो जब यसरी चाहे त्यो फुच्ची त्यै आइमाई कै बच्ची किन नहोस या मेरा आÏन्तको, भविष्यमा मैले बिहे गरे र मेरी बुढीले त्यस्तो शब्द एक फेर  हाम्रो बच्चाको लागि प्रयोग  गरि भने उसले नचिताएको कुरा उसले भोग्छे ।

 हामी कस्तो संसारमा हुर्किराछौं । त्यो आइमाईको गल्ती त हो तर त्यो भन्दा गल्ती त ऊ हर्केकी वातावरणले उसलाई सिकाको हो, र पो त उसले त्यस्तो बोली, आÏनो बच्चाको लागि ।सुरुमा हामी सुध्रिनुपर्छ, आफूले बोल्ने शब्दलाई तौलेर अनि कम से कम १० चोटी  अरु संग गफ गरे भन्दा बेसि सोची आÏनो बच्चाको अगाडि प्रयोग गर्नुपर्छ ।

आउनुस न हामी मिलेर अगाडि बढौं, आउनुस न वाचा गरौकी हामी आफू पनि सुध्रिन्छौं र हाम्रा बच्चा बच्चीलाई कहिले गाली गर्नेछैनौ , हामी आफू पनि सिक्छौ कसरी व्यवहार गर्ने र आÏना सन्तानलाई पनि सिकाउँछौ ।

आउनुस न यस्तो संस्कारको निर्माण गरौ जहाँ हामी चाहे रिस उठेतामा पनि या खुसी हुदाँ खेरि पनि हाम्रो बोल्ने वाणी सधै हाम्रो लागि स्र्वग जाने बाटो बुनोस, न कि नर्ग, आखिर अहिले हामी बाचिँराछौ नर्ग मै त हो, आउनुस न अलि भए तामा पनि राम्रो हुने प्रयास निरन्तर जारी राखौ न ल, ह्दयबाट अनुरोध छ की कृपया आÏनो सन्तान लगायत कसैको लागि पनि कठोर र निच शब्द प्रयोग नगरौ है । हात जोड्छु म तपाईको अगाडि, कहिले कदापी न सरापौ कसैलाई ।
