How Girija will be known in the history?

Girija Prasad Koirala is a third son of his father. In the first years of his life, he supported his brothers in politics. On the basis of some literature and views, his brothers never trusted Girija. He was one step back from the top posts.

But after the death of his brothers and the restoration of Democracy in Nepal. He was awarded Koirala dynasty. With his all tricks he became able to ruin other top founder leaders of the party and he became the supreme in the Nepli congress Party of Nepal. As congress was one of the biggest and supreme party of Nepal, he became able to announce himself as a supreme leader of the Nepal. His luck, he became supreme in the history of Nepal for the last 20 years. He was always become in the top post. People started to compare him with King. It was true, he was a king with out throne.

In 2008 CA election, his partly seriously lost the election. Same fate with the other big party CNNUML. But he did not accept this verdict. He still leads the government as the president of Nepal.

On the basis of various online blogs, webs and news, we can see that more than 70 percent of the people want the Maoists to form a new government under their leadership. I read most of the comments and found that more than 70 percent of the commentators are against Girija’s autocracy. They think that he is the man one who is not supporting to form a new government under the Maoists leadership.

I also agree with the mass. Girija should resign and open the door for the new government which will be lead by the so called maobadi of Nepal. I am not in the favor of them, I am not biased; it is their right being on of the largest party of nepal. We want to see what they will do. Infact, the whole Nepli Janta want to see new government under the moaists leadership. Nepli congress should understand it, and help them.

Girija should choose whether he wants to be known as a hero in the history or a greedy politician who always wanted to be in power. It is up to him know! I wish his him good luck for the rest of the life.

Syntax of the World's Languages III

Free University of Berlin, September 25-28, 2008

The 'Syntax of the World's Languages' conference series provides a forum for linguists working on less widely studied languages or varieties of languages. Contributions are expected to be data-driven, preferentially based on first hand data. Comparative and diachronic papers are also highly welcome. The discussion of theoretical issues is appreciated to the extent that it helps to elucidate the data. The list of topics relevant to the conference includes:

• interesting aspects of basic clause structure
• argument structure (e.g. grammatical relations, diathesis, linking)
• intra-clausal dependencies (e.g. agreement, binding)
• inter-clausal dependencies (e.g. reference tracking, subordination)
• the expression of information structure
• interaction between syntax and other areas of grammar (morphology, phonology, semantics)

The use of specific syntactic frameworks is encouraged, but presentations should be understandable without prior knowledge of relevant theory. visit: http://userpage.fu-berlin.de/~gast/swl3/#ConfDescr

Leipzig: A city of east Germany

Leipzig is, with a population of over 510,200, the largest city in the federal state of Saxony, Germany. It is situated at the confluence of the RiversPleiße, White Elster and Parthe.

The "Peaceful Revolution" in 1989 which lead to the "Wende" and the reunification of Germany was initiated in Leipzig^{[citation needed]}. The city's rich tradition in music and culture is mainly based on the work of Johann Sebastian Bach and Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy and finds its expresson in the worldwide famousness of theGewandhausorchester and the Thomanerchor.

Leipzig is well-known for its university and its trade fair. Germany's first labour partywas founded in the city.

Leipzig's name is derived from the Slavic word Lipsk, which means "settlement where the linden trees (US; lime trees in UK) stand".^[2] An obsolete English spelling of the name was Leipsic.

The Bicycle Capital of Germany

Beijing and Freiburg have one thing in common: there are twice as many bicycles as cars in both cities. Granted, the reasons for this differ. In the Chinese capital, the bicycle is the primary means of transportation for most average people. In Freiburg, the use of the bicycle is the trademark of a very environmentally conscious community. The small southern city considers itself the environmental capital of Germany. Bicycling and Bottlenecks Life is difficult for car owners in Freiburg: parking spaces in the inner city are rare. There is, however, an abundance of bicycle racks, especially around the university's downtown campus. It's easy to forget where you "parked" in the maze of thousands of bicycles. A 400 kilometer long network of bicycle paths criss-crosses the city. Two-wheeled traffic can get clogged along some of the routes. One of the biggest bottlenecks occurs along the so-called Blaue Brücke, or blue bridge, which intersects the railroad tracks on the way to the university. More than 10,000 cyclists traverse that route every day. Stepping in the Water The picturesque historic city center in the heart of Freiburg, however, is off-limits to cyclists. The narrow alleyways and winding curves are more suited for a stroll than a bike ride anyway.And then there are the "Bächle" - small canals, about a foot wide and four or five inches deep, that are unique to Freiburg. They wind through the city center on both sides of most streets. One wrong step will land you in the water. Local legend has it that if you step in a Bächle, you'll soon marry a Freiburg citizen.  "Evironmental Capital of Germany" The cyclists are a fundamental part of Freiburg's environmentally friendly image, but there's more to it than that. No other city in Germany has as many environment-related institutions as Freiburg. The Institute for Applied Ecology has an office here, the European bureau of The International Council for Local Environment Initiatives (ICLEI) is located in Freiburg, as is the Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems (ISE) and the International Solar Energy Society (ISES). In fact, solar energy plays a pivotal role in life in Freiburg. The city is located in the middle of the sunniest region in Germany. In addition to being known as the environmental capital of Germany, Freiburg also likes to refer to itself as the solar capital of Germany. There are a total of 2,000m2 of solar cells on Freiburg's roofs, and the sports stadium uses solar power to operate its floodlights. It's only a matter of time before the local students will be riding to school on solar-powered bicycles.

Huge increase in Nepalese students in Aus

The latest figures from the federal Government's Australian Education International show that in the 12 months to September, commencements by students from Nepal increased by 504 per cent, or 2884 students. AEI says Nepal is Australia's 11th biggest source country. It has the second highest growth in commencements after India.
The surge in commencements helped enrolments of Nepalese students to skyrocket by 290per cent to 7569 students in the year to September, when the overall increase in international enrolments was 7.1 per cent. 

political instability caused by a Maoist insurgency, Australia's good education reputation and high standard of living were the main reasons for the nepalese students.

Many students also feel that---getting a visa easier than in previous years as well.

Word of mouth helped: "Every Nepalese student who returns gives good information about Australia,
The federal immigration and citizenship department eased student visa rules in these days.

Positive Nepali People

You might have already seen this picture many times. This is one of the famous photo taken during the April revolution in Nepal. This movement was against the Kings stem. All were against King, and ultimately the king was compelled to handover the power to the elected government. 

Gradually, the country became the Federal Republic of Nepal. This situation changed the king into a normal citizen of Nepal. On the basis of rule, he has to manage his security and living place himself. But the nepali people so generous that they heard the ex-king's request and they have planed to manage such things for him. 

I have read in many online blogs and news about the people's view of Nepal regarding the ex-kings accommodation. I have found that more than 75 per centof the people are in favor of proving him the so-called Nagarjuna Darbar 'A palace'. Five percent of the people I found are really against it. They want him to be imprisoned. They want the government of Nepal to file a case against the former King. In the same way, 10 percent of the people think that the government should not provide him the whole Nagarjuna palace, but only a part of it. And it should be for the limited period only--may be until the death of ex-king. The rest ten percent of the people do not judge it. 

Anyway the majority of the people are positive. This shows the generousness of Nepali people. The political history shows that the nepali people were always in support or positive towards the monarchy. But the king never become the people's king. This lead ultimately to the Death of Royal system in Nepal!

Meeting with a helpful guy

This picture is taken during my last visit to Bonn. In this picture, you can see that I and Dipendra are going towards Essen which is one of the biggest cities of Germany. 

Dipendra is studying Applied linguistics and he also works in the restaurant which is owned by his brother. There are very few Nepali hotels and restaurant in Germany. It is because it is difficult for a foreigner to establish business in Germany due to financial and business laws of Germany. A big bulk of money is needed for this purpose which becomes impossible for the people of third world. But it is a bit easier for the people who has got permanent visa or even german passport. There are lots of reasons behind it which I am not going to talk here. 

I just wanted to reveal the fact that Dipendra is an extremely hard working and helpful person. He helps every Nepali who appears to his doorstep. So far as I know--every one knows him around the North Rhine-Westphalia. In the August, I had an opportunity to meet him. He not only provided food and shelter in his place, but also showed the whole NRW state to us. I was highly impressed with his personality. So if you are heading towards that area, please do not forget his name. I can not keep his telephone number and mail ID in this blog, but you can always ask with me when you plan to go that region. 

All the best

Dear Blog readers,

You know I have a linguistic presentation on coming Friday. So, I am pretty busy in analyzing data, reading books and preparing handouts. 

I will post some interesting news on Saturday. 

Have a good time!
