Congratulations and best wishes to long-time Sajha contributor -- Village Voice -- on his starting a separate English weekly in Kathmandu. May his newsweekly -- called The Mirror (the last I heard) -- succeed on all fronts, making Nepal's English-language press all the more vibrant and lively. ******* Congratulations also to Pushkar Pokharel, a former Boston resident who now lives in Canada, on his getting married in Kathmandu recently. Pushkar, who is the world's number-one fan of Bacchu Kailash and who remains close friends with Bacchu Dai, has sung the Bacchu Kailash numbers countless times on various community-related occasions in Boston and Kathmandu. Sabai ko falos, fulos, ramro hos. oohi ashu ktm,nepal |

Ashu, I sure remember meeting Pushkar and listening to Bachchu dai ko geet haru in his melodious voice. Unbelievably, over 4 yrs have passed since that wonderful Boston yatra. Please extend my congratulations to him. VVji, congratulations and best of luck in your new endeavor. |

BTW, from a source close to me who is also involved in the new venture: The name of the magazine will be "The Nation Weekly." I suppose we'll just wait for their first publication to see what they decide on regarding the name of the magazine. I've also been told that they will have a column dedicated to the Nepali diaspora -- something that we, the modern day "Lahures," can surely look forward to in the new magazine! ************** Pushkar-jee...how could I have missed him in all my frequent visits to Boston in the early to late nineties??? I too am an avid fan of Bachu Kailash (unlike Pushkar-jee, though, I only sing Bachu Kailash's songs in the shower!), and would have loved to hear Pushkar-jee sing his songs. |

Poonte is right, it has arrived in the name of "Nation weekly". www.nation.com.np (found somewhere in another thread). Nice articles, a little different. Enjoy ! |
