A Human. Being!

~ a caffeine based life form. in search of sleep, sanity and shire. ~

देशभक्ति देख्नेहरुले,

अलिकति, दौराको फेरमा अल्झिएको देखे,

अलिकति, हिमालको टुप्पोमा टल्किएको देखे,

अलिकति, स्वयम्भूको आँखामा चम्किएको देखे,

अलिकति, नेताको भाषणमा पस्किएको देखे,

देख्नेहरुले,

मान्छेको मनभित्र सल्किएको पनि देखे !

देशभक्ति;

खै म कहाँ गएर भेटुँ,

छातीभित्र हुन्छ भन्छन्,

खै म कहाँ गएर देखुँ ।

देशभक्ति ;

खुकुरीको धारसँगै चम्किएको थियो रे कुनैबेला,

वीरहरूको गर्जनसँगै गर्जिएको थियो रे कुनैबेला,

We are Weirdoes! We have patriotism flawing inside our every veins, but this arises only when someone of foreign country says something. We are the greatest mis-interpreters as well, the latest example being Taslima Nasrin’s case. and even more we are a great complainers. The government did this wrong, it should have done this, they are all corrupts and bla bla bla. But when it comes to doing something for the country, for example cleaning ur streets we all say…"Get hell with it”
Well, we are too proud of our great gurkha grandfathers that we can boast it to all, and think they have done enough that we don’t need to do any other things. But the truth is, our Patriotism died with them. Patriotism retired with Balavadra, Patriotism died with Bhakti thapa, and patriotism commited suicide with Bhimsem. Our Patriotism became obliged to first the shah’s and then ranas, and then the thugs we call politicians. We fought for parties against ranas, fought against shahs, fought for maoists, fought with each other in the Name of caste.. and probably its an story without any end, any subtitle but many subtle plots.
The thugs are playing with the fate for more than three years now. Look at what happened in the last three months.. well I am abroad, but how many times did they actually meet for writing constitution? well they seems too busy finding the next head of the thugs. I have been checking the timeline in twitter for long and I seldom see anyone posting anything distantly related to it.
Now, about the patriotism we have, I have to say that is just the hate against india we have. India or a indian did/ said this and that against our country or country men we all are awake protesting it. it was about 10 years back(I guess) when our patriotism came to consciousness against Hritik Roshan. then I remember the Iraq incident when all the muslims found hard to live in some crazy-districts of nepal. It is still in comma when its needed, like we have never fought reasonably high for Mahakali or Pasupatinagar issues. And Most of us certainly welcomed when our Vice President took oath in Hindi, which I don’t think is local language in any place in Nepal. I don’t see any comment from us, for all those patriots doing Nepal bandhas… or even when country is being broken into fragments.
I thought Twitter was a place where concious minds roamed. Even though I don’t post regularly, I sneak into my timeline almost always. So, I saw Taslima Nasrin tweet,"Dear nepali friends, I couldn’t come to nepal today, because I didn’t bring passport as I didn’t consider Nepal as a foreign country”, for an exiled writer like her, who have been living in India for almost 20 years now, I didn’t find anything to get offended, as I don’t know if they need passport/visa to enter Nepal for Indian people. But, the rage against Taslima started. And most of the tweet people mentioned her name with rage and swearings. Well, I don’t think that was needed. And that Umesh/salokya even found time to write a newspaper column against her instant.
j hos, nepali literature people would have loved her speech. She is a powerful speaker, and her struggle for feminism, and against conservative peoples is a no-joke. I love her works, and I am not angry abt that tweet, rather I feel fustrated for how Nepali people reacted. A few months ago same thing happened, as Stephen Colbert, the comedian of ‘colbert’s report’ said something about Kumari in his Colbert’s report and we poured our anger in his website with the words neither our great grandfather, neither ourselves can be proud of.
I am a Nepali, and a Patriot too, I guess. I don’t like anyone asking question against my contry’s sovereignty. But more than this, I loath against the evils of society. I loath against the evil traditions. May be it has to do with my agnostics that I don’t believe and argue with whats wrong in our holy-myths. I like to work for my society, I even taught in a local for 8 months when I was free for free, made local roads with neighbours,made dam when it flooded,took neighbours lil child at 3am to hospital on Nepal banda.. this is nt boasting myself, but rather telling that patriotism is not just what we, “boast our great grandfathers or Mt. Everest or Buddha” and grow evil inside. evil against India, evil against another caste, evil against Colbert, evil agains another religion and evil against Taslima Nasrin.
Yes, patriotism is dead,
It died with bhakti Thapa, It retired with Balavadra Kunwor, it commited suicide with Bhimsen,
I have seen people taking bribes under the flag of nepal, unmasking patriotism just like glass
I have seen patriotism being distributed to mercenaries, to those who voted, who looted
I have seen patriots fight with another caste, another religion and another region,
And, I saw patriots ruining  the name of great-gurkhas, swearing some foreigner for no reason
I havent seen a vein through which patriotism flows, I havent seen the heart which has it,
mt. everest and Buddha’s eyes are too tired waiting for patriots doing good for country,
which bird’s name is patriosm my friend, I havent seeen it flying in my country,
it is dead and buried my friends, burried very deep, u only can get it back to its realms.

Jerry was the kind of guy you love to hate. He was always in a good mood and always had something positive to say. When someone would ask him how he was doing, he would reply, "If I were any better, I would be twins!"

He was a unique manager because he had several waiters who had followed him around from restaurant to restaurant. The reason the waiters followed Jerry was because of his attitude. He was a natural motivator. If an employee was having a bad day, Jerry was there telling the employee how to look on the positive side of the situation.

Seeing this style really made me curious, so one day I went up to Jerry and asked him, "I don't get it! You can't be a positive person all of the time. How do you do it?"

Jerry replied, "Each morning I wake up and say to myself, Jerry, you have two choices today. You can choose to be in a good mood or you can choose to be in a bad mood.' I choose to be in a good mood. Each time something bad happens, I can choose to be a victim or I can choose to learn from it. I choose to learn from it. Every time someone comes to me complaining, I can choose to accept their complaining or I can point out the positive side of life. I choose the positive side of life."

"Yeah, right, it's not that easy," I protested.

Did you know….
1. DNA stands for deoxyribonucleic acid.
2. DNA is part of our definition of a living organism.
3. DNA is found in all living things.
4. DNA was first isolated in 1869 by Friedrich Miescher.
5. James Watson and Francis Crick figured out the structure of DNA.
6. DNA is a double helix.
7. The structure of DNA can be likened to a twisted ladder.
8. The rungs of the ladder are made up of “bases”
9. Adenine (A) is a base.
10. Thymine (T) is a base.
11. Cytosine (C) is a base
12. Guanine (G) is a base.
13. A always pairs with T in DNA.
14. C also pairs with G in DNA.
15. The amount of A is equal to the amount of T, same for C and G.

16. A+T = T+G

17. Hydrogen bonds hold the bases together.
18. The sides of the DNA ladder is made of sugars and phosphate atoms.
19. Bases attached to a sugar; this complex is called a nucleoside.
20. Sugar + phosphate + base = nucleotide.
21. The DNA ladder usually twists to the right.
22. There are many conformations of DNA: A-DNA, B-DNA, and Z-DNA are the only ones found
in nature.
23. Every single cell in our body has DNA.
24. DNA is the “blueprint” of life.
25. Chromosomal or nuclear DNA is DNA found in the nucleus of cells.
26. Humans have 46 chromosomes.
27. Autosomal DNA is part of chromosomal DNA but does not include the two sex chromsomes -

X and Y.

28. One chromosome can have as little as 50 million base pairs or as much as 250 million base
pairs.
29. Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) is found in the mitochondria.
30. mtDNA is only passed from the mother to the child because only eggs have mitochondria, not
sperm.
31. There’s a copy of our entire DNA sequence in every cell of our body with one exception.
32. Our entire DNA sequence is called a genome.
33.

Rosalind Franklin was born in London on 25th July 1920. She graduated in Chemistry and Physics in Newnham College in 1941.Rosalind Franklin (25th July 1920-16th april 1938) was invited to Kings College, London to study protein crystallography, which soon became oriented to DNA. The leader of the team assigned her to work on DNA with a graduate student Ray Ghosling. The laboratory's second-in-command, Maurice Wilkins, was on vacation, when he returned, their relationship muddled. He assumed she was to assist his work; she assumed she'd be the only one working on DNA. They had powerful personality differences as well: Franklin direct, quick, decisive, and Wilkins shy, speculative, and passive. This would play a role in the coming years as the race unfolded to find the structure of DNA.rosalind                                                         The dark hair and eyes gave her the name Dark lady

Franklin used the X-ray Diffraction to capture DNA, a molecule too small to image using regular photography. She was able to take a photograph of DNA, the now famous photo of ’51. She extracted finer DNA fibers than ever before and arranged them in parallel bundles. All of these allowed her to discover crucial keys to DNA's structure. Wilkins shared her data, without her knowledge, with James Watson and Francis Crick, at Cambridge University, and they pulled ahead in the race, ultimately publishing the proposed structure of DNA in March, 1953. James Watson experienced the eureka moment when shown the photo. He recalls, “The instant I saw the picture my jaw fell open and my pulse began to race… the black cross of reflections which dominated the picture could arise only from a helical structure... mere inspection of the X-ray picture gave several of the vital helical parameters.”
