पुरा ५ दिन पछि काठमाडौं आएर अनलाईन हुन पाए । हाम्रो चर्चबाट हेटौंडामा युवा रिट्रिटको आयोजना गरिएको थियो । ३ दिनको सो क्याम्प हेटौंडाको Solidarity International Academy कम्पाउण्डभित्र भएको थियो । लगभग ३५० जना युवाहरुको सहभागितामा सम्पन्न भएको सो क्याम्प मेरो लागि साँच्चै नै आशिषमय भएको थयो । सो क्याम्पमा मैले अनुभब गरेको कुरा अर्को पोस्टमा लेख्नेछु । नेपाली युनिकोडमा टाईप गर्ने बानी नभएकोले यति लेख्न पनि कस्तो गाह्रो भईराखेको छ । आजको यात्राले गर्दा शरिरमा थकाईको अनुभव छ भने हिज सुनेको एउटा एकदमै अप्रिय समाचारले मनमा छट्पटि भएको छ । अब केहिबेरमा सुत्ने कोशिष गर्नेछु ।

It has been more than two weeks that I haven’t added any new post in my blog coz I am feeling too lazy these days. In other word, I must say that I haven’t found any fruitful result in my recent work so I feel that I am just wasting my valuable time. I used to go for photography atleast once a week before but now I can’t manage even a single hour for my photography. I love nature and its beauty as everyone do. I think that nature photography is a best way to be close with nature around us so that I want to  continue my photography again. I have a lot of works to complete but I don’t know how to manage all these. I may need a break for some days so that I can return back to work with refreshed mind and intellection. Now I can’t do anything except viewing these previously taken photos. Well, I am eagerly waiting for that day.

My another interest that I haven’t shared yet is video editing and mixing. I used to do video mixing and editing before 4/5 years when I was doing my +2. I did all these things only for fun. I tried different video editing softwares like Adobe Premiere, MGI Videowave, Ulead Videostudio, etc. One sample work that I have done is posted in my new video sharing website Video Sansar. It’s not so good, just mixed some video clips and audio using MGI Videowave. Just check it below!

After a lot of discussion and inquiries, we finally decided to go picnic at Dolalghat. We, ICT (Information & Communication Technology) Team are going there this Sunday. Everything, I mean main program schedule is ready, prepared by Abhinandan. I think shopping will be done on Saturday by Sunil, Digbijaya and Lilaram. We are reserving a micro bus for 2 or 3 hours long drive. Although it’s not my first experience to Dolalghat for picnic, I hope I will enjoy a lot than before. We had been there for picnic from our Church 9 months ago. This place is suitable for picnic because picnic spot is in the bank of Dolalghat river. It’s about 1.5 hours long drive from Kathmandu on the way to Khasa.

I am planning to go Chitwan on first week of January with Vishow for wild life photography. We probably will visit Sauraha and Chitwan National Park. I haven’t been there yet. So I don’t know the details of the location there. I will share my experience later. It will be my first experience. But this is our plan only. Nothing is fixed yet. Let’s see! After Chitwan, we are planning to go Butwal and then Tansen. I will go Tansen with Padam, Nalome, Aksha, Lily and Shrina, but not sure. Depends on their schedule. They are leaving for Butwal tomorrow from office. I am starting this new year by visiting different places of Nepal. This will be really helpful for my portal RealNepal.com.np.

How was your Christmas this year? Well, my Christmas was full of fun and blessings. I was able to attend lots of Christmas programs this year. Gone caroling whole six days (Sunday to Friday) at different places of Kathmandu valley. On Saturday, we had ‘Christmas Love Feast’ in our Church after the regular service. Enjoyed a lot there with my friends. After Church, I went to Bhainsepati at Rajesh Dai’s apartment. He had invited all friends of ICT Team for dinner that night. There was ‘Valley Wide Christmas Festival’ on Sunday at Khula Munch, Tundikhel. The worship was leaded by Samu da and message about Christmas was shared by Guruba (Pastor Robert Karthak).

On Monday, there was ‘Christmas Eve Celebration’ at our office. After that program, I went to NIM Lalitpur Church with Padam. We enjoyed a lot with candle lights and campfire. I am writing all these activities in short because I don’t have too much time. There was a grand celebration on Christmas day (25th Dec.) in our Church at Gyaneshwor. As every year, the programme ended after Guruba released balloon with a big banner of Christmas greeting. Please check out some snaps of Christmas programs posted below.

“उदायो तारा आज, नील गगनको माझ
यो अन्धेरि रातलाई, उज्यालो बनाई दियो।

गाईको गोठमा पस्रेको प्रभु, पापी जन सबको उद्धार गर्न
जन्मे आज जन्मे प्रभु जगमा त्यो एकलो डोडैंमा

आनन्द मनाऔं यो शुभ रातमा सुसन्देश सुनाऔं सारा जगतमा
जन्मे आज जन्मे प्रभु जगमा ज्योतिका हाम्रा राजा”

यो पटकको क्यारलमा हामीले गाएको गीतहरु मध्य माथिको गीत पनि एक हो। काठमाडौंको जोरपाटीबाट शुरु भएको नेपाली इसाई मण्डली (ज्ञानेश्वर चर्च) को ख्रीष्टमस साङ्गीतिक (क्यारल) कार्यक्रम गोङ्गबु हुँदै आज ललितपुरको जावलाखेलमा सम्पन्न भयो। नेपाली इसाई मण्डली (ज्ञानेश्वर चर्च) को “संयूक्त साङ्गीतिक झुण्ड” द्वारा प्रस्तुत गरिएको यो कार्यक्रम उपत्यकाको अझ तीन ठाउँमा गरींदै छ।

“आनन्द मनाऔं हर्ष मनाऔं
सत्य मुक्तिदाता येशू ख्रीष्ट
तिम्रो निम्ति मेरो निम्ति
दाउदको शहरमा आज जन्मिएको छ”

यस्तै यस्तै प्रकारको ख्रीष्ट जन्मोत्सवका गीतहरु गाईएको सो कार्यक्रममा सोहि चर्चका सिमोन पाठक अंकलले ख्रीष्टको जन्मको बारेमा केहि कुरा बोल्नु भएको थियो। ब्यस्त भएता पनि यो कार्यक्रममा भाग लिन पाउँदा निकै रमाईलो र आशिषको अनुभव भयो।

I am so excited and waiting for the time so eagerly. I am going for Carol (Carol is joyful religious song celebrating the birth of Christ.) from our Church this Sunday with worship group. This will be my first experience. My Church is Nepali Isai Mandali (NIM), Gyaneshwor. It’s located at Kalopul, Gyaneshwor. I have been going there since I came here at Kathmandu before 4 years. NIM just celebrated its golden jubilee on November 1, 2 & 3. Click here to view news related to golden jubilee celebration of our Church. All the members of NIM worship team are fully dedicated to God and hence are doing well. Our worship team is leaded by Samuel Karthak. (We all call him Samu Da’.) Check out the snap of our team below which was taken during golden jubilee celebration. I would like to thank Nalome for providing me that snap. I am going to post the updates of our Christmas Carole in few days. Just keep on visiting my website.
