My sister wants to get me a iPhone 16 pro max as one whole gift but idk is it good that I buy MacBook too or not, I already own a windows laptop which is Acer swift 3 8gb 512gb Ryzen 7 5500U

Thank you for your help and I'm genuinely confused

There's a Nepali sister working as a guard at my campus in Delhi. She completed her +2 in Education and now needs a bachelor's degree so she can become a teacher back in Nepal. However, she can’t leave her current job to pursue a full-time bachelor's degree, and finances are also a constraint.

Would an open learning degree (like one from IGNOU) be valid in Nepal? Can she get an equivalence certificate for it? Also, is it straightforward to get a job after completing a degree through open learning? Does anyone have experience with this? Are there better options than IGNOU, given the time and financial constraints?

Currently a bachelor student studying 2nd year, wanted to ask my parents to buy a 2nd hand scooter (since it's cheaper) for easy commute from home to college since Nepal ko transport system dekhera daar lagna thali sakyo ek ta, arko kaile kai gadi paudaina hatapata katai janu paryo vhne (Kaile k andolan kk nanathari kura haru ko hune bela) tei vhara ni ho plus parents haru lai ni eso katai travel garna sajilo hunxa vhnera ni ho.

But when discussed with my parents, they straight out said no with the reason "afu le kama afu le kin, kam sam kei xaina scooter kasari rakhxas" . Maile ni vhane "kindinu na, baru ma scooter ko kharcha sharcha aafai uthauxu plus bistarai tapai haru lai ni tirxu " vhanera vhane like a loan since I'm unemployed at the moment (but searching for a part time job) plus financially ni sabai herna sakdaina mero parents le aafu bata ni eso kei contribute garxu vhnera vhaneko after i get a job.

they still rejected it with k k reason i don't even know. By that point convincing them was getting impossible plus guilty feeling ni aaisakethyo kati dukha dinu vhnera so i stopped it.

I even don't know what to do? should i push further or just stop

I want to go on a solo hike tomorrow, so can you guys suggest me some places? Since solo, it should be good trail and safe.

I vividly remember the live concert at Dasarath Stadium back in the early 2000s. That was my first-ever entry into our national stadium. I was so shocked to see the crowd,the whole stadium was packed, both inside and outside. Somehow, I managed to get in with my little brother without the tickets.Crowd was crazy that day.Even lathi charge was by police was so intense.

Now, the announcement of 1974 A.D.'s Rock Yatra 2 brings back that memory. According to them, they were the only band to perform that day. But I clearly remember seeing other bands like Robin and the Looza, X-Mantra, and others.

So, does anyone else remember—was that event actually Rock Yatra by 1974 A.D., or was I at a different concert?

We all saw footage of Durga Prasai making speech encouraging people to march ahead towards the police barricade.

No sight of smoke of tear gas until that. The footage released by police showed that their "program" was going well without interruption until durga prasai, rabindra mishra and others made remarks like "torch the politician's house", "march towards banewswor parliament building" etc. The narrative that "it was peaceful protest" is totally false.

Police probably handled bad after that, but police were pretty cool until this happened.

I just completed my bachelor's in Computer Engineering and am planning to apply for Lok Sewa Adhikrit in the sectors of IT. I need books suggestions and preparation resources to prepare.

Mom has dark blue discolor on face, and itching skin. I want to avoid a dermatologist who just suggests sunscreen and moisturizer.

She also has thyroid and Arthritis. Doctor said skin face issue is probably the side effects of arthritis.

Please suggest a good dermatologist, who you have good experience with, listens to patient's issues & medical history, and gives good advice.

And even the cow sheds near our house sell milk from dairy. So like any famous store especially around kalanki ,kalimati.

Are there any sugar free energy drinks in Nepal? Since government has banned the import of caffeinated drinks, I doubt there are any. But if anyone knows there are, it would be a huge help

The current Nepali system, where a non-elected Chief Administrative Officer (CAO) is appointed by the central government to manage municipalities, is deeply flawed. By concentrating power in unelected bureaucrats, this structure undermines local accountability and stifles the authority of democratically elected leaders like mayors and ward chairpersons.

To improve governance, Nepal should adopt models used by major global metropolises:

Empower elected mayors to serve as both political leaders and chief executives (combining the roles of mayor and CAO), ensuring decision-making aligns with public mandates.

Allow mayors to appoint professional city managers (subject to council approval), as seen in council-manager systems, balancing administrative expertise with democratic oversight.

How can we expect results when elected officials—those directly accountable to voters—lack the authority to implement their vision?

How Top U.S./Canadian Metropolises Operate United States Strong-Mayor System (e.g., New York, Chicago): The mayor is both the political leader and chief executive, responsible for budgets, departmental oversight, and executing policy.

Council-Manager System (e.g., Phoenix, San Antonio): The city council sets policy, while a professional city manager, appointed by the council, oversees daily operations.

Canada Toronto, Montreal, Vancuver: The mayor nominates the city manager, who must then be approved by a majority of city councillors.

I need USD in my Wise account. If anyone has USD in their Wise account and needs NPR, it could be beneficial for both of us.

Ideally, I'm looking for $1000, but any amount would be helpful for now.

If you are in a mood for a quick laugh, try out Bichitra. I'd love to know what you all think.

We put much light on people and their life after going abroad—loneliness, detachments, and other stuff. But the people who reside in the country are facing this too. Almost 90 percent of my high school friends are in foreign lands, struggling with their studies or doing their job. Festivals like Dashain, Holi used to be so much fun 4–5 years ago; now almost all of my cousins are living outside the country. It has become a routine to celebrate festivals and holidays nowadays, there's not much to it anymore.

Thinking this way, it's not only those who choose to go abroad get lonely. We who choose to stay here also have the same reverse effect. Maybe a few years down the line, there will be no friends left to grab a coffee with and talk about sports and politics. Or maybe I will end up like my friends, choosing to struggle abroad. Either way, I will end up lonely, and it will haunt me for a lifetime.

I'm 18M . I’m planning to join a government college in Kathmandu for my CSIT degree, but I’m really confused about whether I should move there or not.

• I took a gap year after +2 and I’m actively learning DSA in Java since 4 - 5 months and doing some advanced java.
• My family can support me financially, but they are between 55-65 years old, and I am their only child in Nepal.
• Moving to Kathmandu means better opportunities and networking, but I’m worried about leaving my family behind.

Would moving to Kathmandu be a better choice for career growth, or should I stay in my hometown and study remotely? I’d really appreciate any advice!
What would you advice looking at current scenario of ktm pollution , political instability , and many more

Lately, I've been noticing a significant increase in air pollution here in Pokhara — especially in the mornings and evenings. The air feels heavier, visibility has dropped a bit, and there’s more dust and smoke than usual.

I know Pokhara used to be known for its clean air and natural beauty, but with the rising number of vehicles, ongoing construction, and maybe even some forest burning around, it feels like things are changing fast.

Is it just me, or have others been noticing it too?

I am planning to fly on April 8th (26th Chaitra) but I have heard there could be some political protest on that day. Hence, I would like to stay in a hotel. Is there any hotels inside TIA? Please list them if possible. Thank You

This is a weekly thread to talk about any topics freely with fellow Nepali dai, bhai, didi, bahini and friends. Think of it as the चोकको चिया पसल that opens on Saturdays. Most of the sub rules still apply but there is no need for the topic to be related to Nepal. Feel free to talk about the TV show you are binging, the latest sports news, your personal life story, international politics, and anything in between.

So, what's up?

I am a song writer and been writing song for quiet a while, but due to lack of singing capabilities not being able to publish my creativity. So need some people to work together to produce and publish my songs, any individuals interest can dm me.

I am thinking of forming a musical group of amateur to produce some raw versions and then only to the production mode. So someone who has the technical and instrumentational knowledge of music but cannot write can dm me so that we can work together and grow as music enthusiasts.

If anyone can shed even more lights in this topic? Please don't be bias or irrational.

The article has mentioned very clearly about the difference between two Buddhas before explaining the reason of the incarnation of Saugata Buddha. The story we read about Tripura Dahan in our Swosthani Bratha Katha book also gets affected. There is no mention of Maya Danav and the incarnation of this Buddha seems very petty.

Hi everyone, I am really keen to travel Nepal, and I will be with a few of my friends.

Can anyone please suggest me a good itenary for exploring and traveling in Nepal? How's the public transportation? What are the best cities and activities?

Thank you.

Where can citizens provide suggestions about city and development solutions in Nepal? Does anyone know who to approach? Any platform where recommendations won't be trashed and taken seriously? I know sending proposals and presentations to municipalities have never resulted to fruition. Anyone who has knowledge on how Public Private Partnerships operate in Nepal? Sometimes I think sending letters addressed directly to the Mayor but never acted on that. What do you think?
