Gurkha British Army Logo "If a man says he is not afraid of dying he is either lying or is a Gurkha." Sam Maneksha Field Marshell of India Once Hitler said, "If I had Gurkhas, no armies in the world will defeat me." The army chief of Pakistan once stated, "If I had the Gurkhas army with me, I can have a cup of tea in any hotel of New Delhi with no fear." After winning 1986 World Cup Final against England, Diago Maradona said, " We defeated England because they don´t have the Gurkhas in their team." Wherever you live if you feel proud to be Nepali, you are the Gurkha. Sgt. Dilprasad Pun Nepal is the birthplace of Buddha who teaches peace, serenity, kindness and enlightenment to the whole world. Mt. Everest is the roof of the world which also is in my country. We have different aspects to be proud. My country had never been under the colony of any country. So, we don´t have the habit of being under any influence of o...

Seema Subedi Before we support Indian Nepalese, we just think what they think about us. I just watched the live videos of winner of Asia international world 2016 and also winner of Mrs India 2016 Seema Subedi who said that Indian Nepalese have to face the humiliations because Nepalese people go to India to wash dishes which I find very annoying. "Tumari wajase ham sab Nepali Indianko bartan dhonewala keheta he Indiame." It´s so funny. Few days before, I also saw an interview video of a leader from Darjeeling, he said that they never ever imagine and dream of joining with the poor country like Nepal. So, what the hell we are joining hands with them. Bottom line, we are proud to be Nepali in our own country Nepal. Jay Nepal!

Being a Nepali it hurts a lot when we hear the news of being insulted and marginalized by others. From the past few days, I have been reading the news of Darjeeling agitation demanding Gurkhaland. Toady, I also read the news of the shot death of four people during the protest against Bengal state government with the pictures. I was deeply affected by that news. After all, wherever we are we are Nepali. Boundaries can´t be the barricade of our feelings. The only slogan of Gurkha is that it is better to die than to be a coward. There is no single history where the Gurkha lost its battle. So, the dream of Gorkhaland will be turned into the reality very soon. What we have to do is that we just have to keep going. We all the Nepalese around the world are with our people. In this time, I am just astonished by the Government of Nepal because it has not spoken anything yet about the Indian government´s insanity towards our Nepalese communities in Darjeeling. But I am op...

Jack Ma He was born in a poor family when china´s cultural revolution was its peak. As a teenager, he used to guide tourists for free just to improve his English. He knew that only way he could get rid of poverty was through education. So, he started applying for different colleges but got rejected from each of them. I applied for Harvard 10 times, got rejected and I told myself that someday I go to teach there. Jack failed university 3 times. He attended Hangzhou University and graduated in 1988 with a bachelor degree in English. Even after applying for 30 different jobs, all he ever faced was a plain rejection of 3 simple words: you are no good. When he applied for the job at KFC, he was the only one who got turned down out 24 people.But that only made him stronger. In 1995, when the internet was blooming, he got shocked when no result appeared from China when he searched ´beer´. And that´s when he came up with an idea of an online marketplace called Alibaba.
