Saphal Diaries

It's been two months since Ruth Scully lived every parent's nightmare. Now, she is sharing her story on Facebook in hopes that it can bring change. On February 4, 2017, Scully's son Nolan lost his battle with Rhabdomyosarcoma, a rare form of cancer that affects soft tissue. In an ode to her son, Scully shared a photo collage on Facebook showing the harsh realities of childhood cancer. She explains that during his struggle 4-year-old Nolan refused to leave her side, even lying on the bathroom floor when she showered. The first picture shows Nolan on a bathmat. It was taken before he left for the hospital to start an aggressive chemotherapy regimen. The second picture, taken on the two-month anniversary of his death, shows the same bathmat, this time without Nolan. "Now I'm the one terrified to shower," Scully wrote in her post. "With nothing but an empty shower rug now where once a beautiful perfect little boy laid waiting for his Mommy....

We all should understand 'xori navae buhari kahabata lyaune - if thre are no daughters where you find your daughter in law'. Even if you want son as your child but later on you need daughter in law and boy can't be your daughter in law. Your wife conceives either boy or girl, you are blessed enough. So, no more abortion for the sake of vested desire. In many countries like Nepal still in practice this kind of trend for having their wanted child. Basically, people have the superstitions of having sons anyway. They also think that only son can continue their generations. In this way, they go to the doctors to get checked the embryo. If the embryo is a girl they go for abortion. So many embryos are murdered before they are born for this cause.   I just read relating this on Kantipur daily which is eye opening. So, I borrowed the slogan and trying to let you know. I hope you will also find it worth reading. I think boys and girls are equal and both are our children. N...

एउटा चर्चित भनाइ छ– जिन्दगी भनेको आकस्मिक घटनाहरूको संगालो हो।  जतिबेला हामी कुनै रंगीन योजना बुन्नमा मग्न हुन्छौं, त्यही बेला ‘स्पिड–ब्रेकर’ झैं हाम्रो जिन्दगीको रफ्तार रोक्न आइपुग्छन्, ती घटना। हामीलाई पूर्वतयारीको मौकासम्म नदिई आउने यस्ता घटनाले नै हाम्रो जिन्दगीलाई नाजुक बनाउँछ। र, सुन्दर पनि। साथीहरू, करिब २०–२५ वर्षअघि मैले यस्तो जिन्दगी बाँचेँ, जुन धेरैले कल्पना मात्र गर्न सक्छन्। म ख्यातिप्राप्त कलाकार बन्न चाहन्थेँ। आफ्नो क्षेत्रको सर्वाधिक उचाइमा पुग्न चाहन्थेँ। एउटी नेपाली केटी भएर पनि म भारतको फिल्म उद्योगमा लोकप्रिय र सफल अभिनेत्रीका रूपमा स्थापित भएँ। पाँचवटा भाषाका लगभग ८० वटा फिल्ममा काम गरेँ। थुप्रै अवार्ड जितेँ। इमानदारीका साथ भन्नुपर्दा, गुणात्मक हिसाबले थोरै, तर संख्यात्मक रूपले धेरै काम गरेँ। र, जिन्दगीमा ती सबै चिज हासिल गरेँ, जुन हासिल गर्छु भनी सोचेकी थिएँ। वा, यसो भनौं, सोचेकोभन्दा बढी नै पाएँ। ती आकर्षक र सुन्दर पलहरू बाँचिरहँदा मलाई थाहा थिएन, जिन्दगीले मेरो निम्ति अर्कै केही सोचेको छ। मलाई यस्तो मोडमा ल्याएर खडा गर्दैछ, जहाँ विगतका ती...

भनिन्छ एउटा छोरा कुपुत्र बन्ला तर आमा कहिल्यै कुआमा बन्न सक्दैन। यस्तै एउटा अर्थपुर्ण कथा मैले साभार गरेकोछु। मलाइ लाग्छ केहि हदसम्म भएपनि यसले तपाइहरुको मनमा आमाप्रति सदभाब बढाउने छ।  र कथा यस्तो रहेको छ।   बुहारीले ऐनामा लिपिस्टिक ठिक गर्दै भनिन , " आमा आज तपाइले आफ्नो खाना आफै बनाउनु , मलाइ र यिनलाई आज एउटा पार्टीमा जानुछ " वृद्ध आमाले भनिन " छोरी मलाइ ग्यासबाला चुल्हो बाल्न आउदैन " तब छोराले भन्यो " आमा छेउमा रहेको मन्दिरमा आज भण्डारन छ त्यहाँ गइहाल्नु खाना बनाउने झन्झट गर्नु पर्दैन....!!! आमा चुपचाप आफ्नो चप्पल लगाएर मन्दिर भएको तिर गइन । यो पूरा वार्तालाप 10 सालको छोरा रोहनले सुनिरहेको थियो । पार्टीमा जाने समयमा रोहनले आफ्नो ममिडेडिलाई भन्यो "डेडी जब म धेरै ठूलो मान्छे बन्छु नि तब म पनि आफ्नो घर कुनै मन्दिरको छेउमा नै बनाउछु " ममिले उत्सुकतावस सोधिन " किन छोरा ? रोहनले जुन जवाफ दियो त्यो कुरा सुनेर उनिहरु दुवैजना को शिर लाजले निहुरिएर तल पर्यो । रोहनले भन्यो " किनकी ममि मलाइ पनि कुनैदिन यस्तै पार्टीमा जानुपर्ने हुदा तपाईं...

This piece of writing is taken from the page of Leo Messi which is also published on the page called Fundacion Leo Messi. Me alegra mucho ver que el proyecto de la  Fundación Leo Messi  y  UNICEF  en Nepal marcha perfecto. ¡Tres centros de salud ya están construidos y otros once en proceso! I'm really happy to see that the Leo Messi Foundation and UNICEF project in Nepal is going so well. Three health centres have already been built and a further 11 are on the way! - LIO

If someone traveled to 50 countries, we’d be impressed. If they traveled to 100 we’d be super impressed. But if they traveled to every single country in the world, and became the first documented female, youngest American, AND fastest traveler to visit all 196 countries on the planet….well, that would leave us pretty amazed indeed. But that’s exactly what Cassandra De Pecol is doing. The 27-year-old from Connecticut has already visited 181 countries since July 2015, and with only 15 countries remaining and 40 days to go, she’s well on course to break the Guinness World Record for the fastest person to travel to all Sovereign States (plus an additional 11 countries). Her amazing journey is called Expedition196 and she’s traveling as an Ambassador for Peace on behalf of the International Institute for Peace Through Tourism. We might not be able to follow in her footsteps, but we can at least follow her inspirational journey via Instagram. Go Cassandra!

It´s said that we never lose our hope till the time of the last minute. It has been proved by Barcelona winning against Paris Saint German in Champion league. I think it might be one of the greatest matches ever in the history. Barcelona had lost its first match 4-0 over Paris Saint German in PSG´s home ground. In its second match, Barcelona had to score 5 goals to go through next round in its home ground. So, Barcelona had to play like they are in the do and die situation. Spectacularly, they played the same tonight and won the match with aggregate 6-0. In today´s match, Neymar has scored two significant goals assisted winning goal for Barcelona which paved the way of winning. I think his significant two goals and winning goal assist have proved that how good player he is in the time of like this important match. I have never seen like this football match till the date of my entire life.  It´s truly amazing. As a fan of Neymar, Messi and Barcelona, I felt s...
