For the beautiful sound

For the beautiful sound

‘Edward Scissorhands’ star Johnny Depp once said, “Music touches us emotionally, where words alone can’t.” When there’s music, everything else disappears. For a couple of minutes, we forget the sadness, and enjoy the beauty of sounds. It’s not a lie that everyone is a music fan in this world. People might like different genres but it’s quite surprising when people say they don’t love music. Some people love hiphop, some love pop, others love rock and roll; but all it matters is when they unite as a group:  “Music Lovers”.

Over The Roads

Over The Roads

- by Rabin Sharma

Driving over the narrow streets of Kathmandu is not a piece of cake and encountering bunch of problems on the way isn’t an uncommon thing either. A town-centre bottleneck having a nine-mile traffic jam requires a significant amount of patience to keep the composure stable. Beyond that, 2 out of 10 lose their placidness and try overhauling the vehicles which ultimately makes traffic police crack up their sincere mentoring. Loud horns and blares of traffic make the road more distressing.

Clear all confusions before taking a move

Dear Sadichha, I am currently living in the UK with my parents and two sisters. We are three daughters, all of us making career in different sectors. My older sister is married to her love and my middle sister recently got married. But our parents are quite rigid on our marriage being decided by them. I completely understand them; however, I disagree with the fact that it must be an ‘arranged marriage’.

Hollowness

Hollowness

Apart from flesh, bones and blood it is emotions which make us what we are. Human feelings are complicated.  Neither are they equations nor emotions.  Sometimes we experience happiness, sometimes we find nothing except the hollowness within us.

Hands work fine for fashion

Hands work fine for fashion

- by Republica

The trends of buying branded products exported by western companies have ruled the market since time immemorial. A majority of people often discourage local products that are made in the home nation due to that fact. As a result, local brands are likely to be overshadowed in the market and the people won’t even know about their existence. Though the foreign products have maintained their supremacy in the Nepali market, there’s always a proud moment on wearing products tagged “Made in Nepal”. To support the local business, various products have come to the market. My City asked these brands about their product and story behind their initiation.

Fashion, The beauty of life

- by Republica

KATHMANDU, Dec 4: Be it summer or winter, clothes bring fashion into life. Some dress up to look stylish while others are attired to look gentle. They consciously or subconsciously mould themselves to the changing fashion world and hereby strongly support it. Fashion is a lifestyle.

Breaking the body barrier

Breaking the body barrier

- by Kiran Lama

Physically and mentally challenged people face discrimination in society and sometimes they are seen as a stigma. However, there are some who are breaking the limitations of their body and excelling at what they do using their skills, creating space for themselves. Helen Keller, Franklin D Roosevelt, Jhamak Kumari Ghimire are prime examples who have lived dignified lives contributing to the society. They are the ones whose physical impediment did not overshadow their dream.
