Sharing more positive news

So here is something I’ve noticed all these years; correct me if I am wrong but news about terror, chaos and wrongdoings are more shared and discussed rather than positive ones. Breaking news flash on our televisions to give us information about the horrific incident that just took place; about natural calamities and the aftermath. And I guess it is justified somewhere because people need to be made aware and informed, right? We see timely updates or even live telecast from the location during such events. Every hour there is a review of the events that are happening around the country, international and sports. Political news, natural calamities, rape events, acid attacks and such take up most of the time on news. And when no such events are occurring, it almost seems as if there is nothing much worth sharing over the news. My question is why are positive and good news not shared with just as much enthusiasm? Do the news have to be astoundingly big to be shared over the news? Or are such news only shared on the social media?

Imagine if there more positive news like a community coming together to help someone; organs being donated to save someone’s life; an organization’s progress over the cause they are fighting for; small gestures of kindness; random humane acts of someone were shared on the morning news? Wouldn’t that make your day better?

The way I see it: bad acts are and should be punished but good acts should be encouraged just the same. Encourage humane acts and kindness and start with yourself.

Rajamati

I think we’ve all heard the song of Rajamati growing up. It is so popular that many people in Nepal claim this is the only Newari song that they have heard. The song was written some 200 years back. The first few lines go like this, which I’m sure you must have heard of, unless you’ve been living under a rock: Rājamati kumati, jike wasā pirati Hāya bābā Rājamati-chā Rājamati mabila dhāsā Kāshi wane tela bubā Hayā biu Rājamati-chā. San dhāsā kuli kuli, mikhā dhāsā bālā bālā Sakumi yā mhyāy machā lā Khwā dhāsā tuyu khwā, khwālay niga tee du Tāhā Nani yā Rājamati-chā. It is said to be written by or rather from the perspective of a man who was infatuated and in awe of the beauty of Rajamati. He describes with great admiration: her hair, her eyes, her complexion and the little moles on her face. However it is unknown who the writer of this beautiful song is. The song rushed into popularity after it was played in England in 1850 when Prime Minister Jung Bahadur Rana vi...

Best Places for Breakfast in Kathmandu

The only reason I love sleep, more than the reason that, well, it’s sleep, is that it’s like time travelling to breakfast. Yeah, no kidding. Breakfast, the most important meal of the day. Whoever named that meal breakfast, was straightforward. I don’t know who named lunch and dinner, but the breakfast guy? He cut in straight to the point, didn’t he? Because breakfast is literally breaking your 8-10 hours fast. Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince, and dinner like a pauper, they say. So, you don’t really want to compromise on breakfast now, do you? Now, this is no backlashing, but in many restaurants around town, the most breakfast things they have on the menu are omelet and toast. Yeah, I was disappointed too. There’s this restaurant in Mangal Bazar, where my best friend and I met up early morning. We decided to have breakfast. The restaurant overlooks the courtyard so it’s a beautiful place to talk over a cup of coffee or tea. She and I ordered a cheese ...
