Prime Minister Balendra Shah has officially announced he won’t be taking any foreign trips for a year, probably because he realized how much he’d miss the Kathmandu dust.

On the Baisakh full moon, the Nepali diaspora from Queens to Reading gathered in community halls to enthusiastically dance the Sakela Silli, because nothing says "I miss the motherland" like following a YouTube dance tutorial with a bad internet connection.

Nepathya in Auckland

That’s right, the Gorkhali folk-rock juggernaut is heading to Auckland, New Zealand, proving once and for all that whether you are a polar bear or a penguin, you cannot escape the urge to chant "Bhedako Oon Jasto".

Girish Pradhan Joins the Titans

Girish has been tapped to perform the 1981 classic "Breaker". To put this in perspective: this isn't just "participating." This is like being invited to a potluck and finding out you’re sharing a table with Rob Halford (Judas Priest) and Kirk Hammett (Metallica).

The "Cash-Back" Kings

ur Supreme Court has finally decided to put an end to the "VVIP Welfare Fund," a legal loophole that allowed our former so-called elites to bill the State for every sneeze and sniffle. The scale of the heist is clear: Rs 4 billion was handed out to so-called netas for foreign medical care between 2006 and 2016.
