Is Nepal safe to travel ?

Lot of people from abroad still ask the same questions as follows; "Is Nepal safe to travel?" after earthquake 25 April. "Do you have food to eat in your country?"

But we do not feel such condition in Nepal. Most of them (EQ) are not aware regarding the actual situation. The infographic data shows the actual facts from Nepal Tourism Board.

When we had EQ, media from all over the world concentrated on devastation & visuals. We were unknown what we need to do and how we need to act.

Every body from a single lay man to government were helpless to manage the situation. We were not prepared to handle emergency, although there were lot of I-NGOs taught the mock EQ every year in various sectors in Nepal and even in Kathmandu valley. The way they taught did not work when it happened in reality.

The good thing in Nepal is that people took it as natural disaster and it may happen anywhere in the world, so why do we worry? Now, Chile is suffering.

Tourism is bread and butter of most of Nepalese. Nepalese do not want to be parasite depending on donation. We are mentally fit and fine that we came back in normal life though we lost many friends and families.

We are still smiling, we are alive and want to work for tourism, for Nepal building back better. You can see all the festivals are smooth and intact. Therefore the answer is "Yes ! it is safe to travel." if you have still questions in your head, please visit www.nepalnow.org for the latest information on Nepal.

Common Nepal lovers if you want to help Nepal please do come and visit our country with your friends and families and see our beautiful Nepal in your upcoming holidays. 

Hashtags in Social Media Marketing

I am not an IT guy. That is why I did not know the meaning of Hashtags. Last year June 2014, when I was in Malaysia for #AirAsia travel mart, I was requested to hashtag AirAsia. I did not care it. After certain time unknowingly started this symbol in my facebook, instagram, google+. Interestingly I got good result. My reach increased in my Personal FB Page and Professional FB Page.

Unknowingly, I started hashtags in #Canyoning, #MountainBike, #RockClimbing, #Hiking, #BushHike, #Bouldering, #Kathmandu, #Nepal, #NepalNow, #NepaliFood, #Tour, #Travel, #Iamwithnepal, #TravelNepal, #HelpNepal, #Adventure and so on.

Now, when I attended social media marketing training, I understand the value of hashtag. We should use this symbol in all social network while we post something in our social media.

Try it, you will find interestingly good result in your social network.

Cheers for crossing century !!! This is my 101 article :)

"ह्याक" के हो ?

संचार क्षेत्रमा सम्मानित पदमा रही काम गरी  सकेका वरिष्ठ ब्यक्तिले सार्बजनिक कार्यक्रमको दौरानमा तिक्तताका साथ अभिव्यक्त "मेरो इमेल ह्याक गर्‍यो" भन्ने शब्द सुन्दा म त स्तब्ध र छक्क ।

सामान्यतया ईमेल ह्याक हुँदा आफ्नो इमेल चेक गर्न मिल्दैन र ह्याक गर्नु भनेको बिधुतीय अपराध पनि हो । तर त्यो शब्दको सामान्य अर्थ समेत हेक्का नराखी गम्भीर आरोप लगाइ दिएर आफ्नो तिक्तता व्यक्त गर्नु भयो महाशयले । यो कत्तिको संगीन आरोप हुन सक्छ, त्यो त मैले अनुमान लगाउन सकिन ।

मैले बुझे अनुसार आफुले आफ्नो इमेल चेक गर्न नसकिने अवस्था सिर्जना हुनु र आफ्नो इमेलको पासवोर्ड चोरेर अरु कसैले आफ्नो नामबाट इमेल गरिदिने कामलाई "ह्याक" भन्ने शब्द प्रयोग गर्न मिल्छ । त्यसैले ह्याक हुनबाट बच्नको लागि  सेक्युरिटी कोड राखेको हुन्छ, जुन प्राय गोप्य हुन्छ ।

"बोल्न पायो भने प्याच्च नबोल्नु, बस्न पायो भने थ्याच्च नबस्नु" भनेर बुढा पाकाले तेस्सै भनेका होइनन् । त्यसैले शब्दको अर्थ अनर्थ के हो बुझेर मात्रै बोल्नु ठिक होला कि । #चेतना भया । अस्तु ।
