भूकम्प र नेपाली (कविता)

झट्ट आयौ, झसङ्ग पार्यौ, के भाकी है तिमी ।
बिगार्नु सम्म बिगार्यौ तिमीले, के गोरखा के ठिमी ।।
यत्रा घर लडाइदियौ, मान्छे तिमी कस्ती ।
सबै रून्छन्, तिमी नाच्छौ, उजाड पार्यौ वस्ती ।।
नाच्ने नि तरिका छ, जथाभाबी नाच्यौँ ।
हाम्रो प्यारो धरहरा त्यो, किन तिमीले भाच्यौँ ।।
मान्छे हेर, कति रोका छन्, तिमीलाई आ छ हाँसो ।
हेर के के सखाप पार्यौ, पुर्खाहरूको नासो ।।
ऐया भन्छन्, मरे भन्छन्, कति दु:ख पाउने ।
अरू केही काम छैन तिम्रो, किन बार बार आउने ??
मान्छे मरे, घाइते भा छन्, पाका छैनन् खाना ।
तिम्रा बिगार लेखी लेखी, भरिए कैयौँ पाना ।।
पुग्यो हामीलाई, गर्नु गर्यौ, चुपचाप बस अब ।
बाँच्याले नि राहत पाँउथे, शान्त हुन्छौ जब ।।
आइरहे नि मतलब छैन, टेर्ने छैनौ हामी ।
साहसले त, पुर्खैदेखि कहलिएका नामी ।।
भोकाहरूलाई खाना खुवाउँला,  छत हालौँला गाउँमा ।
यी सब लड्या उठाउनेछौँ, आफ्नो आफ्नै ठाउँमा ।।
पाटन, गोरखा सब बनाउछौँ, पार्छौँ बलियो ठिमी ।
धरहरालाई उठाउनेछौँ, हेरी राख तिमी ।।

Nepal Unites (#GoHomeIndianMedia)

Around the globe, many people might exactly know where was Buddha born? And also few more know about the home of the tallest peak of the world ( Mt. Everest ). The country where Gautam Buddha was born is a Himalayan kingdom lying with the great Himalayans at its top and some of the large plains at the bottom. That country having its independent history despite of being between two giants China and India is known as Nepal. Nepalese (also known as Gurkhas) are one of the most bravest people in the world history. Nepalese never celebrate Independent day because we were never under anyone’s rule. We were always independent and always be.

Even the East India Company of British Emperor couldn’t make it into Nepal due to our brave Gurkhas, that’s why we are always celebrated in various countries. Our contribution in world war II was uncomparable. Since then Nepal has always become first priority for United Nations Peace Force.
Wherever any kind of disaster occurs Nepalese are deployed around the globe. In last decade only Nepalese were deployed to help in Gujarat earthquake, Pakistan Landslide, Haiti earthquake and many other places. Even after the giant earthquake of 1954 in Nepal, Nepalese have always united for the sake of humanity and nationality. Whether it is in case of helping people or strengthening nationality, Nepalese are always united.. May it be cricket game (even ICC has praised Nepalese unity in celebrating win or loss), or showing the world our identity (Buddha was born in Nepal campaign), (Electing Prashant Tamang as Indian Idol), (Anuradha Koirala and Pushpa Basnet as CNN hero), (largest human flag) and currently everyone’s involvement in earthquake rescue and relief is more than that can be described in words.
We Nepalese are very strict about our identity and whenever we are tried to pushed away from it, we have bounced back. Either that be (Buddha was born in Nepal Campaign) or (#GoHomeIndianMedia trend), we never compromise with our identity. We have fought a lot and have saved our identity since very long ago. So our identity is more valuable than our lives. So in order to keep our identity raised up, we will do everything to defend it. We have a saying in Nepali “Hati haina, dati ladne nepali ko bani huncha” which means (We Nepalese have an attitude of fighting with troubles instead of running away).
Even in very harsh conditions we have never surrendered our identity and pride and what do you (Indian Media) think, your some shitty news can break our identity and unity. Even those giant earthquakes couldn’t shake our unity, what do you think you people are???
We are very generous people. We give away everything we have in order to save someone’s life. Since we are in the birthplace of Lord Buddha, we are peace loving and like to do our work without interception. So we don’t want interference of any international media and people (especially Indian) in our national affairs. We were and we are capable of solving our problems ourselves. Thanks to everyone who are helping us in this very difficult situation but please help us being in your limit. We appreciate your help not your interference. So please kindly do what you are meant to do. You are not allowed to peek at our internal affairs, else you may lose your eyes. We are one of those countries who have given eyesight (by surgery) to maximum people around the world, so the one who can make also knows how to take. There are other medias from around the globe who are exactly doing what they are meant for. Our country is not the place to shoot your daily serial like news. We want to show reality not fake news. So please indian media be in limit. Once again thanks for your efforts and help in rescuing and relief in our difficult situation.
People are just throwing hashtags now but if again you people try to interfere in our affairs, I am not sure that people may throw stones at you ! Either change your attitude or just return Back. #GoHomeIndianMedia #NepalUnites

How to Help Earthquake Victims of Nepal via Computer

On Saturday, 25th April, 2015 11:56 AM Local time (UTC + 5:45) a biggest tragedy of the century hit the Himalayan kingdom of Nepal. An earthquake of 7.9 Richter scale in magnitude with its epicenter located at Barpak, Gorkha devastated the central region of country effecting more than 15 districts of Nepal. The effect was extreme in the capital city Kathmandu, its valley and surrounding districts like Sindhupalchowk, Nuwakot, Kavrepalanchowk and Dhading. Beyond that several other districts around Kathmandu valley were affected. More than 8 million people were affected by this earthquake and around 300 thousand houses are damaged (partial and complete).

 Many countries like China, USA, Japan, Bhutan, Israel, India, Canada, Pakistan, Bangladesh, New Zealand, Australia and many others have come ahead for rescue as well as for relief efforts. Nepal Army, Armed Police Force and Nepal Police all are providing uncountable efforts to manage the destroyed structures as well as bringing people out of those wrecked and broken structures. Also many youths, elders, actors, officers and various organizations are volunteering for relief efforts. Many people who are out of the affected areas are also eager to help and support in the relief efforts but due to geographic and various other constraints they are not been able to do it. So I have decided to recite some of the ways that anyone with basic computer skills and active internet connection can play some role in helping people indirectly. Few of the ways will be described below:

 1) Mapping: Many of the rescuers in Nepal are not been able to track the actual victims due to lack of proper map. Many roads and free spaces that exist in maps are not exactly in the position they ought to be. Also many structures that are destroyed are also not effectively given. So in order to update maps people who are familiar with those locality can volunteer in updating maps so that rescue team can easily reach their destination. For mapping the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap ( www.hotosm.org/updates/2015-04-26_hot_activities_for_nepal_response_report_2 ) is best to start with. It’s currently mapping Nepal’s road networks, buildings, residential areas, open spaces for the communication for helicopters and rescuers. It has a wiki page ( http://www.wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/2015_nepal_earthquake ) which lists tasks and instructions for anyone with a computer and internet to participate. Or you may refer this Tutorial ( www.learnosm.org/en/beginner/introduction/ ) if you need any assistance.

 2) Facebook Safety check: Right after the earthquake hit Nepal, Facebook activated its very unique function known as “Safety check”. It helps in notifying people about their friends safety status. This check can be checked by yourself or you can also check someone who you know is safe. So this can also help for easier communication.

 3) Google Person Finder: Google also deployed its special search engine named google person finder ( www.google.org/personfinder/2015-nepal-earthquake) that helps in finding people who are missing in Earthquake in Nepal. But in order to make it complete functional, people need to update their status in its database so that anyone who search you can find you easily. This service is currently available via mobile phone too. You can post the status of people who you know are safe as well as also file a missing person. This is also very effective way of finding people’s status from around the globe. Anyone can volunteer in this to update the database of safe and missing peoples. In Nepal: text “Search ” to 6040 In India: text”Search ” to +91-9773300000 In USA: text”Search ” to +1-650-800-3978  

4) Data Analysis: Some of you are also eager of stats about earthquake. So to facilitate these queries Humanitarian Digital Exchange ( www.data.hdx.rwlabs.org/group/nepal earthquake) platform can be useful. It was launched by UN Office for the coordination of Human Affair with the goal of enabling humanitarian agencies to upload, analyse, and share data that can sharpen their ability to target relief efforts. Beyond that you can also analyse the data for extracting some useful informations and share those so that it can lead to easier rescues and relief efforts. 

 5) Tracing Service: You can use the tracing service ( www.familylinks.icrc.org/nepal-earthquake/en/pages/home.aspx ) deployed by ICRC (International Committee of Red Cross). It allows anyone to search for missing relatives or to report that they are alive.  

6) Social Networking: In current days social networking has been the most popular trend among the people of all ages. So if you have some data or information about people who are in need of relief or may be some health or some other issues, you can use your own social network to spread the necessary information so that it can be seen by those who are trying to serve the specific need. You can help by posting those things in pages who are working in the relief efforts. 

 7) Last but not the least you can uplift the people’s confidence and courage by providing them some good form of informative as well as useful medias like videos and pictures. Please note that We Nepalese have always help up our heads in pride so please don’t post anything that can be shameful you and country. 

Instead of being idle, do whatever is possible for victims. Just boosting their confidence is also worth more valuable than just being idle. 

 We had made such great History and we have never learnt to surrender to problems instead we will bounce back.

 Stay calm Nepal, one day again we will RISE up. 

 May God bless Nepal.
