Mugu trip : crossing the obstacles, part 1

5th June, 2012

Traveling is my hobby never the less I always mention about. Enjoying it is half achievement of one's life. Seeing is belief moreover internalization: it can happen only by traveling. But some traveling are difficult, when we conquered those difficult ones, they will remain as a sweet memory in our mind.

We moved towards Kalikot from Surkhet at 8 AM. We halted in Guranse, the cold place in Dailekh and took coffee there. We moved down to Tallo Dungeshor where Lohore Khola merged into Karnali River. Here in Tallo Dungeshor, We met frenz from Unicef and GIZ there. We took lunch with fish curry. It was delicious and yummy.  Against the upstream of Karnali River, we always move along the side of this river.  Leaving the Madhyapahadi highway in the Saigaon our wheels rolled over the road built by cutting the cliff.Madhyapahadi highway passes through the Dailekh and catches Achham crossing the Karnali River at Belkhet. 

From Khidkijyula, the road is not smooth; it's really difficult to move the wheels. At Daikhola the border between Dailekh and Kalikot, our motor stopped moving. After half an hour effort my driver was able to fix the problem. At around 7 PM we reached Kalikot Manma.

Sinja valley
Early in the morning at 6 AM, we moved ahead from Kalikot. On the way, we halted there in  an eatery in Molpha and crunched the boiled potatoes. Against the upstream of Tila River, we reached Nagma where Hema River meets Tila River. This is the border between Kalikot and Jumla. We killed our hunger there with fish curry. We entered Jumla and moved along the side of Hema River. After crossing Narakot, the road was full of ditch.

With the help of villagers, we drained the ditch and were able to cross the road. During this period, we were able to have yoghurt that's natural and flavored in one old lady's home.

  At 7 PM, we found Gothijyula in Sinja valley. The valley is famous for Birat palace, Pandu gufa and agriculture as well. We enjoyed watching people sowing paddy in their irrigated field and dancing in local music.

 We got a haven made up of wood plank. we were provided with one pair of blankets. we were sandwiched in between but cold could not catch us. we had liquid blankets as well so we did not know about cold catching. While we were taking dinner, someone brought the yarsagumba: these were small ones though. I never saw the yarsagumba beforehand, this was first time thourhg my eyes...!!!

बिरबलको धर्को

  अकबर-बिरबल प्रसंगमा अकबरले कहिलेकाही गम्भिर प्रश्न सोध्ने त कहिलेकाही बिरबललाइ अप्ठ्यारोमा पार्न सोधिएका उट्पट्याङ प्रश्नहरुको पनि प्रसंगहरु आउछन् | बिरबलको जवाफले उनलाई अवाक बनाउछ सधैं | बिरबलको जवाफले समाजलाई संदेश पनि दिन्छ |ती सवाल जवाफ मध्ये एउटा यो बिरबलको धर्को पनि हो | अकबरको प्रश्न हुन्छ : अकबरले श्यामपाटीमा चकले एउटा धर्को तान्छन | सबैलाई प्रश्न सोध्छन्, यो धर्कोलाई नछोई  छोटो बनाऊ| जो पनि आउछ त्यो धर्कोलाई छोटो बनाउन मेटाउन खोज्छ | अकबरले सबैलाई प्रश्नको शर्त सम्झाउछन् कि धर्कोलाई नछोई छोटो बनाउने | कसैले पनि त्यो नमेटाइकन छोटो बनाउन नसक्ने जिकिर गर्छन् | अकबर प्रश्न गर्छन् सबै भारदारहरुलाई, के बिरबलले सक्छन त ? उनले पनि सक्दैनन् भन्ने एक स्वर आउछ | सधै बिरबललाई प्रश्नको उत्तर दिने मौका शुरुमै दिने र उसलाई अब्बल कहलाउने तपाइँहरुले आरोप लगाउनु हुन्थ्यो | आज उनलाई अन्त्यमा यो प्रश्न सोध्छु त्यसो त तपाइँहरुको आरोप जस्तो अरुबेला पनि उनलाई शुरुमै उत्तर दिने मौका दिएको थिइन| प्रसङ्गवस बिरबल कतै हुन्छन् र उनलाई डाकिन्छ | अकबरले प्रश्न दोहोर्याउछन् श्यामपाटीको धर्कोलाई ...

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.

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...

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.
