Facebook Places go viral – can Nepalese business benefit?



Facebook has been virally implementing places in almost every possible modules in the site after purchase a location-based social network site Gowalla this week. The check-in feature in Facebook is the one to go virtual after its availability in the mobile version of the social site Facebook including the touch edition of the same. But does this have real effect in Nepalese business?

The new facebook timeline gives its user ability to add-in life events like a dairy, the places module in which gives all your stories about location, where one has lived, how many trips covered. Plus geo-location based photos is what Facebook has been focusing now. Time and again it is asking me “You have been to Pattaya on …. have you taken this photo there?” awesome… it looks like. Since many of the photos are already meta GPS coordinates embedded (not a good word for this for sure), Facebook can automatically determine the place, but asking user to verify is surely a good thing.

Starting Revolution with Double-decked eyes : Paradoxical



Chetan Bhagat's new book Revolution 2020: Love. Corruption. AmbitionLife’s what they call it: It is 5am in Indira Gandhi Int’l airport. Date is October 23rd, Sunday, 2011. And I haven’t slept for last 2 days. Life has taken a quick and totally unexpected turning in these few days – while that is an another story in entirety I try to accumulate what are fighting and crying on my phrenal cortex and peripheral muscular blood vessels right now. (Please read the follow up article about quotes and dialogues from R2020 here.)


I just bought another book by Chetan Bhagat – Revolution 2020; story about Love, Corruption, and Ambition. I am wandering in a book shop in the lobby of the IGI Airport while waiting 12 hours of transit, even tho’ I ‘m hunting for 9/11 related books and novels, my mind tells me it is too immature of me now to delve into this subjectification. Hence, the Bhagat. But, I will not be happy for few more days, may be few more weeks now after finishing reading this book – the sole reason being previous books of Bhagat themselves.

Those shared loves and moments and life which would otherwise been different – Bhagat did it in words, God experimented with my life. Thank God, this time Bhagat has not dedicated Revolution 2020 to the LOVED ONES (the story of the words, words and nothing else) – this is all my gesticulations since I have not gone thru the book yet. How the transition of life goes in Bhagat’s book sometimes looks so pragmatic for me, while all the other times lives involved seem so filmy that I have to console myself that the reason she left me is her choice at all. Fate is all what determines everything.

Miley Cyrus’s 7 things is playing in my playlist now and things have already gone puzzling in the brain. So why did I again start listening these fucking love songs? And why did I purchase yet another Chetan Bhagat book just to nostalgic myself and get depressed again? Maybe there is no reasons for some events in life at all. Maybe it’s all written.

I shall write another post after completing this book, once I start reading novels (which I don’t do usually) I end up completing in days and hours solely. So, let’s hope this Bhagat book Revolution 2020 – Love, Corruption, Ambition would be gifted to the person who has to get it again, and remember the life that went in togetherness in the past. Anyway, memories never die.

UK suspends Nepali Student Visa applications- end of the era



Sad time starts here now with UK ending their visa approval to Nepali students along with Indian and Bangladeshi students. This is a temporary suspension due to a very high surge in applicants wanting to go to UK. So, how long should Nepali students wait before they could go to London for a job in a local Indian restaurant (a reality, if not most does) and few words in college deeds.
