300 NEW Taxis for Trivbhuvan International Airport
They say you don't get a second chance to create a first impression. Surely that means our current international airport needs to go under a major renovation spree! One wonders what impression, if any, is left on the tourists that touch down in TIA. Renovating the only international airport has been a task which the government has worked on for the past few years and one of the key development that will take place will be the addition of 300 new taxis for the airport. That's surely good news! A private firm will be replacing 170 taxis with 300 new taxis. Incoming tourists will be happy to hear that English language and a uniform will also be made compulsory for taxi drivers. According to the memorandum, the selected private company must bring 150 taxis in operation within three months followed by a six months period for the total of 300.
I heard the toilets in the international terminal is in very very poor condition (as reported recently by a friend), maybe that should be next on the list. I look forward to sharing an update on this post, three months later, hopefully with photos of the new taxis in TIA.

Prince Harry ‘to climb Everest’
LONDON: Prince Harry is all set to realise his long-held ambition of conquering Mt Everest – the highest peak of the world -- this year.
The 27-year-old Prince had dropped a broad hint about scaling the world’s highest mountain in May this year at the end of his trek to the North Pole last year to raise money for ‘Walking With the Wounded’, a charity for wounded soldiers.
Harry had, in fact, indicated that he wanted to join the group of wounded servicemen on their next challenge in May, which will see them climbing Mount Everest with a peak at 29,029 ft above sea level, said the reports.

Harry had, in fact, indicated that he wanted to join the group of wounded servicemen on their next challenge in May, which will see them climbing Mount Everest with a peak at 29,029 ft above sea level, said the reports.
According to a report in The Telegraph, the prince struck up a quick rapport with the group of wounded servicemen that he joined for four days last April on their successful trip to the North Pole.
“I think for me, personally, I’m hugely proud to be a British soldier, to walk alongside these guys,” the report quoted him as saying. “What these guys have done – and what they will continue to do throughout their lives – is just truly inspirational.” He assured them, too, he would see them on their next challenge.
However, Buckingham Palace has declined to comment on whether it would be possible for Harry to fit the climb into his schedule. “It will all depend on his Army commitments”, his spokesman said.
There has been no comment, either, from the charity.

The weather and a range of other factors mean that the Spring – any time between March and May – is reckoned to be the best time to climb Everest. (Source: Agencies)
Prachand’s new residence – purchased for Rs. 103 MILLIONS?
It shouldn’t have been a big deal whether the Maoist Chairman , Prachanda, purchased or leased the new residence. Everybody needs a residence and a leader like Prachanda wouldn’t fit in a small house. At the same time, leaders needs to be transparent on everything they do and shouldn’t try to hide things specially related to financial dealings
Prachanda should make the matter clear by transparently publicizing the details of financial dealings and answer a few question.
Prachanda’s son Prakash, in his Facebook post, told that the new residence is leased for Rs. 60,000 a month. The quoted lease amount is believed to be extremely cheap for such a building made on a land of three ropani. There was a rumor that the building wasn’t leased but purchased. A weekly newspaper, Sanghu, has published a details on the purchase of the building and asked Prachanda to be transparent on the financial dealings on the purchase of the new residence.
According to the newspaper, the building originally belong to a businessman named Nawal Singhaniya Agrawal and was sold to a woman named Sishu Aryal on 2068 Shrawan 13 (July 29, 2011). The official record show that the building was sold for Rs. 52,000,000 as per the minimum valuation by the government office. The low valuation is told to be done to minimize the tax to be paid to the government. The asking price of Agrawal was told to be Rs. 130,000,000 but, Prachanda asked his businessman friend, Ajaya Sumargi, to reduce the price to Rs. 103,000,000. Nepali blog Mysansar has published the Sanghu article (in Nepali)
- If the house was purchased, why was it done is such a way?
- if it was leased, how can they get two buildings on 3 ropani land for as low as Rs. 60,000 per month? What is the motivation behind the lease rate being so low.
- If the lease rate is higher, why had Prachanda son lied on the amount?
