Nepal Festival 2010 -Sydney


Nepal Festival 2010 -Sydney- was held on the 4th September 2010 at Darling Harbor. This event was jointly organized by NRN Australia, the Nepalese Embassy, Canberra and the Nepalese Community ***ociations in NSW & Victoria. Nepal Festival 2010 is part of NRN Australia .

The estimated crowd for the event was roughly around 40,000 guests. The event was free for all to enjoy. There were food stalls selling our most beloved food, “The MO:MO”, “Sel-Roti”, Choela and the lot. I tried the MO:MO from the “Gorkha Palace” stall and I enjoyed every bite of my portion. Besides food stalls, there were other local Nepalese businesses promoting their business from their stalls. I roughly counted about 35stalls in the venue.

The event featured cultural programs and dance performances performed by local artists and talent groups. It was fun to watch all those cultural performances and reminded me of home. The highlight of the event was one of our most beloved band, “1974 AD” and boy did the crowd love them. It was an amazing experience. The crowd could not hold their excitement as they kept creaming the name, 1974 AD and finally when they appeared on the stage, the crowd erupted with overwhelming excitement. The energy at the venue was overpowering.

 The event was a mega success despite the bad weather. Too early but still we all wait in anticipation for the next Nepal Festival where we Nepalese in Australia come and enjoy, share and spread the feeling of Love, Unity and Brotherhood.

 Hope you all enjoyed the event.

Sydney resident Nepalese Royal accused of rape

21- July - 10

A Nepalese individual working as a delivery driver for an Indian restaurant has been accused of raping a 44yrs old householder living in Eastern Suburb, as heard by the court yesterday.

Amit Hamal, 21, from Sydney NSW, was yesterday accused of having ***ual intercourse without consent with a 44yrs old woman while he was delivering her meal at the victim's Rosebay home on July 16.

Hamal was arrested by Australian Federal Police(AFP) at Sydney International Airport as he tried to board a one way flight to Bangkok.

Police claimed that Mr. Hamal after arriving at the victim's house at 11 pm found the front door open. He tried to wake the husband up but was unsuccessful. He then walked into the bedroom and ***ually ***aulted the woman.  The woman at that time ***umed that it was her husband she was having *** with. She only realised later when Mr. Hamal left through the front door and found her husband still asleep in the lounge.

Mr. Hamal claims she eventually stirred before taking off some clothing and having consensual *** with him.

His laywer said that Mr.Hamal, who is married, later called the woman and returned back to her house with his wife to apologise as he was feeling guilty.

Mr. Hamal was refused bail and will appear in Central Local Court on July 29.

Bepin Shrestha - a young life shattered by an act of violence

TAKING up all three rows on the left side of the courtroom, there is love.

The mother, her dark hair pulled back, dabs her eyes with a wet tissue.

Her weeping started many days ago and has not stopped.

Nearby, her sister also dabs at eyes, angry and red. Around them are nieces and nephews, a young girl in a blue dress, restless to play.

Among them sits an uncle, his head up and a look of quiet acceptance here in Courtroom One at Central Local Court.

The uncle is Alfred Palu, a reverend minister with the Anglican Church visiting from New Zealand.

Some weeks ago Mr Palu sat with ministers from the Cecile Gribble Congregation at Dee Why talking about how they could take the church choir into the jails.

His nephew is in the choir.

  • Top 3 Workout must haves
    Issue 7 Exercise helps us to get fit, stay healthy or shed the winter weight. If you are motivated, you won’t have a problem exercising on your own, but those of you who are less ‘eager’, having a training buddy will work wonders. For those days where you are feeling lazy, they can drag you out and make you train and vice versa. That way, there is no slacking off. There’s no need to look good when you are working out, what’s the point? You’re going to get all sweaty and gross anyway, so no point in making nice clothes all smelly. Make sure you get a good pair of shoes/runners, they make all the difference. If you just go for the cheap option, then it’s likely that the shoes will not last that long and you might end up hurting yourself, all because you wanted to save a few dollars. Also, don’t ...
