Jelwang, Rolpa visit, march 6, 2010

-
Today we reached Jelwang VDC to handover Jelwang SHP constructed by Merlin Nepal at 15hr. This is a beautiful place in Rolpa district. It took almost 6 hours on foot to reach there from Sulichaur, a business center in Rolpa. Damanji (logistic coordinator), Kumarji(suboverseer) and I were from Merlin's side but not a single staff was there from health facility despite the prior information we made. Not a single person was there to recieve hand over of SHP building. As popular fact in government service, 'no prize for good people and no punishment to bad people either.' people in government service hardly follow rules and regulations. This is happening 'coz of government's loose monitoing. Office helper seems more powerful than the office incharge. Every corner is influenced unusually by politics. Many of the SHPs I have visited where not a single monitoring has occured yet since the establishment of the SHP. We finally found a member of health facility office management committee- thank god, she was there to recieve handover. During formal program in handover. During formal program in handing over, it started raining. We were stuck there till 17:30hr and we walked down to guest house. The brook was flooded and had a high amount of flow. As Kumarji and I crossed the sanghu, we heard the sound bang, Damanji was down into the brook, the sanghu was broken. Luckily, nothing worse happened except for some minor injuries.
There is nothing definite in life; anything might happen, nobody knows about life.

High School Chronicle: First Mark in Trigonometry

I was studying in government high school in grade eight. It just came out in my mind that I should join boarding school. I just shared my desire with my mom.  'Daamlo badhna mann lagyo?!' She said, 'you are doing well in government school, so….'  'Well mom, I wanna do more.' I replied immediately. She then readily accepted. Dad also encouraged me to do more. School's principal was asked about my entry in that boarding school. I was ready for entrance test and was waiting in admin office. When principal knew that I was the first boy in government school, he just accepted me in same grade though I was prepared for grade seven. I even needed not appear in the entrance test. Everybody was looking at me. Some talked to me some were yet to talk. Since I was new, every teacher asked my introduction. All the regular students were in their own flock and I was with my high school friend who also admitted just one month before I did. People did not accept me easily a...

What comes in your mind when you find yourself where there is no telecommunication, no electricity and no internet-you will completely paralysed; something you will feel breathlessness. Well guys, it was same for me when I was posted in Sallibazar, a town on the bank of Veri river in Salyan district on its western border with Surkhet. When I started my journey from Kohalpur to this place, I was playing with the aggression of Veri river's flood. The road sometimes touches it and sometimes goes far away from it. There is no way when vehicles get accident, it will be swallowed by Veri river. I have blurring recall of Babai, Harre, Chhinchu,Mehelkuna, Botechaur, Pokhre, Reikar, Baluwa sangrahi, Amra and finally Sallibazar. When I got gradually accustomed to this place, it was heavenly touchy completely different from internet world. I found it as a real world and beautiful than the prototype virtual lifestyle in urban areas. I got up at 7 AM and do some light exercise and take break...

Boarding Bajura

When I was assigned for Bajura District for Measles-Rubella (MR) campaign I was excited to visit this district because it was my great opportunity to visit Bajura officially otherwise I may not be able to visit this place personally. After completing some administrative procedures I set out for Bajura District. Driving down to Kohalpur, moving through Bardiya and crossing the Karnali Bridge, we stopped by in Chisapani where we took lunch with fish curry in an eatery. Thereafter we moved towards Dhangadi where we entered the field office of WHO-IPD and talked about technical activity about MR campaign in Far western development region. FWDR consists of 9 districts and one of them is Bajura, a rural district in FWDR where vehicle is yet to reach there. Motor road is on the way of construction.  Martadi Bazar, the HQ of Bajura At 14:00 hour we headed for Dadeldhura where we planned for night stay. While moving towards Dadeldhura, we felt as if we were heading towards Surkhe...
