Republic Nepal: Countdown begins
With the day approaching when nation turns into a republic, major political parties are working on how the transformation should be made without hassle.
A day in Bal Mandir
Sometimes even charity can seem so ugly, especially when it is done out of a feeling of pity instead of real affection. It was International Women's Day, and Nepal Beautician's Association had organised a programme for the children of Bal Mandir orphanage at the banquet Hall of the old palace it is housed in, at Naxal.
The Historic Day arrives: CA polling starts
