Who said I cannot speak English? Photo: khojj.com I HAD CHALLENGED TO SPEAK ONE HOUR IN ENGLISH AND TODAY I HAVE KEPT MY WORDS BY SPEAKING IN ENGLISH FOR ONE HOUR: Rishi Dhamala By LB THAPA Today my guest is a very special person.

Kanchhi was warned for not meeting the boy forever. Kanchhi nodded in affirmation only to keep her parents in darkness. Kanchhi was meeting Ramesh regularly. BY ISMITA RANA  Actually, the color of her skin was white but it had turned black due to dust and dirt. She seems to be perplexed and bore no emotions on her face.

He is also a professional bike racer and therefore he holds necessary technical knowledge about motorbikes and their performance in different conditions. Amrit Kunwar is one of the first full-time motorbikers who is committed to promoting local tourism through motorbiking.   By LB THAPA Amrit Kunwar’s passion is different and that very passion has made him special. He is a motor biker---I mean an unswerving biker. He has not taken up motorbiking as fun or just out of curiosity. He has made motorbiking a purpose in his life and now he lives for that.     “The spirit of motorbiking runs all over my veins and therefore it cannot be alienated from me---I’m there where my motorbike is.
