अश्लिल सिनेमालाई दुईपटक सेन्सर

नेपाली सेन्सर बोर्डले सामाजिक मर्यादा प्रतिकूलका दृश्य र संवाद काटेर ल्याए मात्र सेन्सर सर्टिफिकेट दिने भएको छ । ‘लुट’ र ‘चपली हाइट’पछि अश्लिल सिनेमा निर्माणको क्रम बढेपछि सेन्सर बोर्डले यसरी सचेत तुल्याएको हो । ‘सिफारिस गरिएका दृश्य र संवाद काटेपछि मात्र सर्टिफिकेट दिने निर्णय भएको छ’ बोर्ड बैठकमा सहभागि चलचित्र विकास बोर्डका प्रतिनिधि नीलहरि काफ्लेले मेरोसिनेमालाई भने । बोर्डले यसअघि सिफारिससँगै सर्टिफिकेट पनि दिने गरेको थियो ।

बोर्डको यो निर्णयले अश्लिल ठानिएका निर्माणाधिन र सेन्सरको तयारीमा रहेका सिनेमालाई कठिनाइ हुनेछ । ‘सिफारिस गरेअनुसार छाँटकाँट विनै प्रदर्शनमा ल्याएको पाइएपछि यस्तो निर्णय लिनुपरेको हो’ काफ्लेले भने, ‘अब यो विकृतिमा सुधार हुने विश्वास बढेको छ ।’ सेन्सर बोर्डले पारिवारमैत्री दृश्य र संवादलाई सेन्सरको सामाजिक मर्यादाको रुपमा ब्याख्या गरेको छ । बैठकमा सहभागिले दृश्य र संवाद काट्न भनिएपनि कतिपय हलले सेन्सर सम्पादन नगरिकनै प्रदर्शन गरेको भन्दै ‘लुट’को उदाहरण पेश गरेका थिए ।

अब अश्लिल भनिएका सिनेमाको सेन्सर दुईपटक हुनेछ । पहिलोपटक हेरेर सुझाव दिने र दोस्रो– सुझाइएका दृश्य र संवाद हेरेर मात्र सर्टिफिकेटबारे निर्णय गर्ने । पछिल्लो समय अश्लिल संवाद र दृश्यका सिनेमा निर्माण बढेपछि सेन्सर बोर्ड सक्रिय भएको हो । बलिउड सिनेमा ‘हेट स्टोरी’लाई तीन दिनपछि बोर्डले सर्टिफिकेट दिएको थियो ।

मनिषा आमा बन्दै

मुम्बई, चैत २४ (एजेन्सी)-बलिउडमा पुनः प्रवेसका लागि प्रयास गरिरहेकी मनिषा कोइराला चाडै राम गोपाल बर्माको एक हरर चलचित्रको रिमेकमा देखा पर्दै छिन्। मनिषाको माग कम भइरहेको बेला बर्माले उनलाई सहारा दिएका हुन्।
तर यतिका वर्षपछि बलिउडमा फर्केकी नायिका प्रति दर्शकको प्रतिकृया कस्तो होला कसैलाई थाहा छैन। त्यसैले उनलाई चलचित्रमा कतै भुतको भूमिका त दिइन लागेको होइन भन्ने चर्चा पनि छ।

तर मनिषाको रोलको बारेमा राम गोपाल बर्माले खुलाउदै भने,'उनी भुत होयन बरु दुई बच्चाको आमाको भूमिकामा देखिने छिन्।'
मनिषाले यस अघि पनि रामुको चलचित्रमा भूमिका निर्वाह गरिसकेकी छिन्।

बलिउडमा मनिषाको चलचित्रको करियर समाप्त भएको लख काटिदै गएको बेला उनी मुम्बई माया नगरीमा फर्केकी छिन्। सन् २०१०मा वैवाहिक बन्धनमा बाधिएकी मनिषा ४४ वर्षकी छिन्। विहेपछि उनी बलिउड चलचित्रबाट टाढिएकी थिइन्।

आकासमै चालकको मृत्युपछि उनकी वृद्ध श्रीमतीले विमान सकुशल ओरालिन

विसकोन्सिन (अमेरिका), चैत २२ (एजेन्सी)- अमेरिकी आकाशमा उडिरहेको विमानमा पाइलटको मृत्यु भएपछि उनकी वृद्ध पत्‍नीले विमानलाई पूर्वोत्तरमा रहेको सानो विमानस्थलमा सकुशल अवतरण गराएकी छिन्। विमानमा इन्धन लगभग समाप्त भइसकेको बताइएको छ।

८० वर्षीय हेलेन कोलिन्सले धेरै वर्षअघि उडानसम्बन्धी तालिम लिएको भए पनि सेस्ना टि्वन इन्जिन विमानलाई नियन्त्रण गर्न अभ्यस्थ भने थिइनन्। तर सोमबार बेलुका आफ्नो पतिको निधनपछि उनले जसोतसो विमान ओरालेको चेरिल्यान्ड विमानस्थलका निर्देशक केथ कस्बोमले बताए।

कोलिन्सलाई सहयोग गर्न अर्का एक पाइलटले उडान भरे पनि विमान ओराल्ने काम उनी आफैंले गर्नुपरेको थियो। 'उनी रनवेमा ओर्लने अन्तिम प्रयासमा थिइन्', कासबोमले भने- अन्तिम प्रयासमा एउटा इन्जिनको आवाज असामान्य सुनिएको रिपोर्टिङ उनले गरेकी थिइन्।

कोलिन्सले सेस्ना कास्वोमलाई सावधान गर्न ग्रिन वेस्थित एयर ट्राफिक कन्ट्रोलर्सको ९११ मा सूचना दिएकी थिइन्। 'हाम्रो मनमा पहिलो विचार नै यी महिलालाई जसरी भए पनि सहयोग पुर्‍याउनुपर्छ भन्ने आयो'- उनलेभने।

कासवोमले विमानस्थलभन्दा एक माइल पर मात्र बस्ने विमान चालक (पाइलट) रोबर्ट भुक्सानोविचलाई बोलाएका थिए। त्यसपछि भुक्सानोविचले अर्को विमानमा उडेर महिलालाई सहयोग पुर्‍याएका थिए।

Maoist hardliner faction accuses Dahal of monopolising party

UCPN (Maoist) hardliner faction Tuesday accused party chairman Pushpa Kamal Dahal of showing monopolistic behaviour by imposing personal decisions and creating unnecessary hype over intra-party rift.
Issuing a joint press release on Tuesday, vice chairman Mohan Baidya and general secretary general Ram


Bahadur Thapa said that the act of the party chairman was the result of intolerant and monopolistic thoughts.

Ram Bahadur Thapa

“No attention is being paid towards possible conspiracy from reactionary forces while dealing with peace, constitution and army integration issues. Comrades of own parties have viciously attempted to tag us as adversaries of peace and constitution,” said the statement.
The hardliner leaders also stressed the need for resolving disputes between two lines in the party in a harmonious way.  New source: nepalnews.com

बन्दैछन् सेक्सी सिनेमा नेपालमा

आखिर जुन कुराको डर थियो –हाम्रो सिनेमा त्यही बाटोमा अघि बढ्न थालेको छ । समिक्षकले औंल्याएजस्तो ‘लुट’पछि उस्तै शैली र विन्यासका सिनेमा बन्ने खतरातर्फ हामी अघि बढिरहेका छौं । यसको अर्थ –यौन र हिंसाका कन्टेन्ट बेच्ने डरलाग्दो बाटो । जसलाई बेचेर ‘लुट’ र ‘चपली हाइट’ले आफूलाई व्लकबस्टर तुल्याए । यतिबेला उहि शैलीका एकदर्जन सिनेमा निर्माणको क्रममा छन् ।

यादव सिलवाल एनि टाइम मस्तीको संक्षिप्त रुपको सिनेमा ‘एटीएम’ निर्देशन गर्दैछन् । यसको अर्थ हो, पैसा र सेक्सले उत्पादन गरेको हिंसात्मक मनोविज्ञान । यो सिनेमाको हिरोइनका लागि ‘चपली हाइट’ हिरोइन विनिता बराललाई एप्रोच गरिएको थियो, सम्भवतः उनले अस्वीकार गरेको हुनसक्छिन् । अर्को एक सिनेमा बन्दैछ ‘मेमोरी कार्ड’ । यौन भिडियोको विम्व बनेको मेमोरी कार्ड सेक्स कन्टेन्ट हो ।

‘मिस यू’ निर्देशक सुरेशदर्पण पोखरेल एउटा वास्तविक घटनालाई लिएर ‘कल गर्ल’ निर्देशन गर्दैछन् । रिसर्च भैरहेको उनले बताए । अन्तराष्ट्रिय फिल्म फेस्टिभललाई लक्षित गरि निर्माण गर्न लागिएको उनले बताए । टाइटलले नै सेक्सको सामाजिक मनोविज्ञानलाई चित्रित गर्छ । अर्को एक सिनेमा ‘ब्ल्याक नाइट’ बन्दैछ । कालो रातमा हुने सेक्स र अपराध यसको कथानक हो ।

पोर्न फिल्मको बात लागेको ‘द लास्ट किस’ यस्तै अर्को एक सिनेमा हो । बीबी फुयाँल निर्देशित सिनेमाको ट्रेलर र पोस्टरले सेक्स कन्टेन्ट बेच्न खोजेको छ । निर्देशक केपी पाठक सेक्स कन्टेन्टमै रहेर ‘रेड मार्केट’ बनाउँदैछन् । समिक्षकहरू नेपाली सिनेमाको मनोविज्ञान भीड र हिंसात्मक समाजले निर्देशित रहेको बताउँछन् । निर्देशक विजयविक्रम बस्नेतले सेक्समा आधारित सिनेमा बनाउँदैछन् । यी त प्रकाशमा आएका कुरा हुन्, अप्रकाशित नामहरूको सूचि लामो हुनसक्छ ।

Guinness Book of world Record

Chandra Bahadur Dangi declared the shortest man ever recorded by Guinness

 he Guinness World Records officials Sunday recognised Seventy-two years old Chandra Bahadur Dangi from Dang district of Nepal as the world's shortest man ever recorded by the Guinness.
Guinness World Records team led by its Editor-in-Chief Craig Glenda also confirmed that Dangi was the shortest human to ever have their heights recorded by the Guiness.
Dangi who weighs 12 kilograms had first made his claims for the world’s shortest man title at a press conference held in Birtamod, Jhapa, on January 30. He said he was not noticed “for living in the remotest region of the district and having no access to communication”.
After the confirmation by the Guinness team, he has beaten Gul Mohammed of India, who, at 22.5 inches, was considered the shortest adult human to ever have their age and height verified by Guinness World Records before he died in 1997 at the age of 40.
After the confirmation, Dangi has taken the title of the world’s shortest man from Filipino Junrey Balawing who measures just 23.5 inches. Earlier, Balawing had beaten another Nepali, Khagendra Thapa Magar, who measured in 2010 at just over 26 inches.

उड्दै गरेको हट एयर बेलुन बल्यो, पाइलट र ५ जोडीको मृत्यु

वेलिङ्टन (न्युजिल्यान्ड) पुस, २३ (एपी) - ११ जनालाई बोकेर उडेको एउटा हट एयर बेलुन शनिबार त्यहाँको एक गाउँमा विद्युत प्रसारण हुने टावरसँग ठोक्किएको छ। उड्दै गरेका मानिसहरु एकाएक ठोक्किँदा आगोको ज्वालासँग जुध्न पुगे। न्युजिल्यान्डमा ५० वर्षपछि भएको यस्तो प्रकृतिको दुर्घटनामा भएको हो। दुर्घटनामा सबैको मृत्यु भयो। उडिरहेको बेलुन ठोक्किएपछि आगो निस्कनुअघि नै दुई व्यक्ति ज्यान जोगाउन हामफालेका थिए।
उनीहरु ठूलो आवाजसहित जमिनमा बजारिए। हट एयर बेलुनका लागि ख्याती कमाएको क्यारटेरटोनमा यस्तो दुर्घटना भएको हो। हावाको वेग सामान्य हुँदाहुँदै पनि यस्तो दुर्घटना हुन पुगेको थियो।

एक पाइलट र पाँच जोडी विलिङटन क्षेत्रका मानिस हुन् जसले शनिबार बिहानै ज्यान गुमाए। प्रहरी सुपरिटेन्डेन्ट माइक रुसविचले कतिपयको शरीर जलेर चिन्न नसकिने अवस्थामा नै पुगेको बताए।

रुसविचका अनुसार बेलुनले बोकेको बास्केट विद्युत लाइनको टावरसँग ठोक्कियो र आगो लाग्यो। प्रतक्ष्यदर्शीलाई उदृत गर्दै स्थानीय मिडियाले जनाएअनुसार उनीहरु ठोक्किएपछि बास्केटबाट करिब १० मिटर लामो आगोको ज्वाला निस्किएको थियो।

प्रत्यक्षदर्शी वेभन ल्यम्वेथले भने, 'बास्केट केहीबेर तारमा झुन्डियो। करिब ५० मिटर माथि रहेको तारमा झुन्डिएको बास्केट तलमाथि हुन थाल्यो र आगोको ज्वालामा पुग्यो। त्यसपछि पूरै बास्केट ध्वस्त भयो।'

दुर्घटनाको एरियल फोटो हेर्दा सेतो घर नजिकै हरियो जमिनमा कालो खरानी देखिन्छ।

डेभिड म्याकिन्लेले देख्दा बेलुन एउटा रुखभन्दा केही माथि थियो। 'पाइलटले केही उचाई लिन खोजेका हुन कि जस्तो देखिन्थ्यो,' उनले सुनाए, 'त्यत्तिकैमा त्यहाँ १० मिटरजत्रो ज्वाला देखियो।'

दुर्घटनामा मरेकाहरुप्रति स्थानीय सरकारले शोक व्यक्त गरेको छ। यहाँको यातायात दुर्घटना अनुसन्धान विभागले तुरुन्तै काम थाल्ने बताएको छ। यो दुर्घटनामा सन् १९६३ मा न्युजिल्यान्डमा भएको डीसी ३ एयरलाइनरपछिको ठूलो मानिएको छ। त्यतिखेर २३ जना यात्रु र चालक दलका सदस्यको मृत्यु भएको थियो।

जलिरहेको तस्बिर: चीनमा भएको एयर बेलुनको हो। दोस्रो तस्बिर न्युजिल्यान्डमा भएको दुर्घटनास्थलको हो। तस्बिर:एपी

साउदी मालिकले बन्धक बनाए नेपाली चेली

मनोज अधिकारी, पोखरा, पुस १२- तनहुँको दुलेगौंडा-८ कि ३१ वर्षिया लालु विक गत असारमा भारत हुँदै साउदी अरब पुगिन्। गाउँकै दलाल बाबुराम विकमार्फत् भारतको अवैध बाटो हुँदै साउदी पुगेकी उनी सुरुमा एक घरमा 'हाउस मेड'का रुपमा काम गर्न थालिन्। घरको सरसफाईदेखि बालबच्चाको हेरचाह समेत गर्नुपर्ने उनले कामको पारिश्रमीक पाउनुको सट्टा दिनहुँ घर मालिकको यातना खेप्न थालिन्।

एक छाक राम्ररी खान पनि नदिने घर मालिकले सधैं शारीरिक र मानसिक यातना दिन थालेकी उनी त्यहाँबाट भागिन्। तर घर मालिकले उनलाई पुन समाते र विगत केही महिनायता बन्धक बनाएर राखेका छन्।
घर र माइतीको असहमतिलाई बेवास्ता गर्दै दलालको भर परेर पराईभूमि पुगेकी दुई छोरीकी आमा लालु अहिले ठूलो फन्दामा परेकी छिन्। ती घर मालिकले १० हजार रियाल (करिब दुई लाख रुपैयाँ) फिरौती माग्दै लालुलाई चरम यातना दिइरहेका छन्। नेपालस्थित बाबुआमासँग फोनमा फिरौती माग्ने ती घर मालिकले आफ्नो नाम नबताए पनि साउदीको बैंक खाता टिपाएर पैसा जम्मा गरिदिन धम्क्याउने गरेका छन्।
'छोरीले फोनमा आमा मलाई यहाँबाट छुटाएर बचाउनुस् भन्दै रोइरहेकी छिन्' लालुकी आमा यमकुमारी विक भनिन्,'केही थाहा नभएका हामी के गरौं कसो गरौं अन्योलमा छौं।' उनले बन्धनमा परेकी छोरीको उद्वारका लागि पहल गरिदिन सम्बन्धित निकायलाई आग्रह गरेकी छिन्। ती घर मालिकले छोरीलाई चरम यातना दिंदै सुरुमा १० हजार र अहिले ६ हजार रियाल फिरौती मागेको उनले बताइन्।
आफूहरुले जानु हुँदैन भन्दा भन्दै अटेर गरेर लालु गत असारमा गाउँकै दलाल बाबुराम विकमार्फत् भारत हुँदै अवैध बाटो भएर साउदी गएको आमाले बताईन्। लालुका श्रीमान् प्रेम र कान्छो भाई कर्णबहादुर विक विगत दुई वर्षदेखि साउदीमै छन्। उनीहरुले पनि लालूलाई बन्धनबाट मुक्त गराउन नसकेपछि आफु आत्तिएको यमकुमारीले बताईन्। लालुका ११ र ६ वर्षका दुई छोरी भने मामाघर बस्दै आएका छन्। उनको पासपोर्ट नम्बर ४६७७३९७ हो।
दैनिक एउटा टुक्रा बिस्कुटको भरमा बाँचेकी लालू पाठेघर (आङ) खस्ने रोगबाट पीडित छन्। उनले नागरिकसँगको फोन कुराकानीमा आफु कैयन् दिनदेखि अवस्थ्य रहेको र घर मालिकले छिनछिनमा कुट्ने गरेको सुनाईन्। फोन कुराकानीका क्रममा रोइरहेकी उनले अहिले पनि घरमालिकले आफुमाथि हातै हात्ताले कुटिरहेको बताइन्।
'दाई मेरो घरमा कुरा गरेर नेपालबाट पैसा पठाएर मलाई यहाँबाट लैजान केही गर्नस्' लालूले रुँदै भनिन्,'मलाई यहाँ बस्न निकै कष्टकर भइरहेको छ। मेरो पाठेघर खसेर म निकै विरामी परेकी छु।' उनले गर्नै नसक्ने कामको बोझ र सधैंको यातनाबाट बच्न भाग्दा घर मालिकले समातेर ल्याई बन्धक बनाएको बताईन्। दलाल बाबुरामले राम्रो काम गर्ने ठाउँ हो भन्दै आफुलाई उक्त घरमा छोडेर हिंडेको बिचल्लीमा पारेको उनको गुनासो छ। श्रीमान्ले विदेशबाट पैसा पठाईरहे पनि उनी दलालको बहकाउमा परेर घर परिवारले नमान्दा पनि साउदी गएकी थिइन्। गाउँकै व्यक्ति भए पनि बाबुराम बेला-बेला नेपाली चेलीहरुलाई अवैध बाटो हुँदै साउदी पुर्‍याउने र आफु भारतमा सुरक्षित रुपमा बस्ने गर्दै आएका छन्।
दलालमार्फत् अवैध बाटो हुँदै साउदी पुगेको हुनाले लालूलाई छुटाउन उनका आफन्तले त्यहाँस्थित प्रहरी र दुतावासको सहयोग लिन नसकेको आफन्त तिलक विकले बताए। लालूलाई बन्धक बनाउने घर मालिकसँग आफुले फटक-पटक फोनमा कुरा गरेको बताउँदै उनले फिरौती रकम दिए पनि उनी छुट्ने कुरामा शंका रहेको बताए।
उनले मंगलबार परराष्ट्र मन्त्रालयमा गएर आफ्नो समस्या राख्न लागेको जानकारी दिए। त्यसका लागि लालुकी आमा र आफन्त तिलक सोमबार राजधानी प्रस्थान गरेका छन्।
'बहिनी अवैध बाटो भएर साउदी गएकाले अहिले उद्वार गर्न कठिनाई भएको हो' पहिले साउदीमा बसेर फर्किएका तिलकले नागरिकसँग भने,'अब सरकारले उचित पहल गरिदिए उनी सकुशल मुक्त हुन सक्छिन्।'

New recruitment in NA will be done on competition: Defence Ministry

The Defence Ministry has clarified that the new recruitment in the Nepal Army will be done on competition, denying that there will be "group entry" of Madhesis.
Deputy Prime Minister and Home Minister Bijaya Kumar Gachchhadar, who also oversees the Defence Ministry, unveiled the policy paper on making the NA inclusive. He said that 2000 youths from different communities in Madhes will be recruited in the NA through reservation out of total 3000 posts to be filled.
Gachchhadar further said that recruitment of Madhesis in the NA is necessary to make the organisation more inclusive.
Meanwhile, secretary of the Defence Ministry informed that recruitment centres would be established in eight places of Terai, five places of hilly region and three places of mountainous region.
The policy paper apparently contradicted some points of the recent cabinet decision to induct 3000 Madhesis in the NA. The decision has drawn flak from different quarters including the two major opposition parties, the Nepali Congress and the UML. News Source: nepalnews.com

Parties agree to incorporate ‘Armed Struggle’ phrase in preamble of new constitution

The UCPN (Maoist) bid to incorporate “People’s War” phrase into the preamble of new constitution that is being drafted has failed as political parties instead agreed to replace it with “Armed Struggle” phrase.
A meeting of the Dispute Resolution Sub Committee formed to settle contentious issues seen in constitution drafting and peace process on Tuesday ended the disagreement among the parties over the issue of whether to incorporate “People’s War” or “Armed Struggle” into the preamble.
The three parties reached an agreement to incorporate “Armed Struggle”
phrase after the UCPN (Maoist) party backed down from its initial stance of incorporation of “People’s War” in the preamble.
The meeting of the sub-committee headed by Maoist chairman Pushpa Kamal Dahal which was held at its office in Singha Durbar also touched upon other contentious issues including those related to forms of government and electoral system.
The main opposition Nepali Congress and CPN (UML) had been rejecting the Maoist proposal to put the words “People’s War” in the preamble right from the start.
The two parties had during their coalition government in 2009 also defeated the same proposal put forth by the Maoists through majority vote in the 63-member Constitutional Committee, which is drafting the new constitution.
With the dispute over the use of phrase resolved, the disputed issues have been reduced to 13 from 210.
On Sunday, the sub-committee had resolved two issues related to the procedure of appointing ambassadors and special envoys and making amendment to the constitution.
The constitution writing action plan aims to resolve the disputed issues of the constitution by December 30. Source: nepalnews.com

Prime Minister Baburam Bhattarai is scheduled to start his official visit to New Delhi from October 21, according his political advisor Devendra Poudel. Speaking at the Reporters Club Saturday, Poudel said the main agenda of PM Bhattarai's India visit would be to propose abrogation of unequal treaties like the Peace and Friendship Treaty of 1950 and the treaty on security and arms purchase. However, the Prime Minister's Office is yet to officially announce the date of the PM's India trip. This will be Bhattarai's second foreign trip and the first at the government level after getting elected as the Prime Minister. He visited New York in September to take part in the United Nations General Assembly. He had met Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh in New York on the UN General Assembly sidelines and had discussed about his forthcoming India visit. Indian PM Singh congratulated Bhattarai and invited him to India on the same day he was elected to PM from the legislature-parliament. News source: nepalnews.com

US keeps Nepal Maoists on blacklist despite new PM

AGENCE FRANCE PRESSE WASHINGTON, Aug 31: The United States said that Nepal´s Maoists needed to do more to be removed from a terrorism blacklist, even though it hopes to work with a new prime minister from the left-wing movement.

Baburam Bhattarai, a senior leader of the former rebels whose insurgency helped topple the monarchy, was selected Sunday as prime minister in a new bid to end a prolonged political deadlock in the Himalayan nation.
The United States has pledged to work with Bhattarai but, in response to a question, said that the Communist Party of Nepal-Maoist would remain on a list of terrorist organizations whose members are barred from US travel.

"While the party has taken some positive steps, we continue to have areas of concern which must be addressed before the party could be de-listed," State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said.

The Maoists have long sought the removal of the designation. Nuland dismissed suggestions that the listing would complicate US ties, saying: "We are hopeful that we will be able to have a good working relationship."

"There are a number of governments around the world where individual folks, individual parties in a coalition, have been designated, and we continue to work as best we can there," she said.

She did not specify criteria, but US diplomats in the past have urged the Maoists to renounce definitively the use of violence as a political instument.

Maoist rebels waged a a bloody conflict that left 16,000 dead before turning to mainstream politics and winning elections in 2008. The Maoists were blamed for a 2004 attack on the American Center in Kathmandu.
The Maoists are on the US Terrorism Exclusion List but not the tougher Foreign Terrorist Organization List, which would make it a crime to provide financial support to the group.
