DO YOU DISCO?
Kathmandu
the city of temples is not only an amusement park for the tourists, but
it is also the very place where disco-goers ought to be. There are about
fifty hotels and restaurants that have discos every night. Boys and girls
like birds of a feather, with the latest fashion covering their skins rush
into one of these discos and shake their bodies on the beat that's just
loud enough to break the eardrums of a solitary nun. Could that be the basics
of a 'hip-up' culture?
They enjoy the music, the drinks and the rhythmic waves of hips all around the darkened hall devoured by wild lights that go on and off in fractions of a second. But unlike these disco-manias, there are quite a large number of people who do not wish to end up in discos at any cost and they have their own reasons. Some find it expensive and some have a notion that it's just the craziest method of wasting time.
Modernism we say, modernism is what we get, and along with it comes the horror of violence and drugs. There have been cases in which youngsters have been involved in bloody violence while dancing or maybe while jumping and bumping around.
It may sound funny but some people believe it's wise to be a dancer like Rajesh Hamal who jumps around within the limitations of a camera but doesn't trigger jealousy, and that ultimately prevents violence. But, if you're a disco lover you probably have developed your own way of enjoying parties and preventing yourself from being a victim of brainless violence. Have fun without having a black eye or two.

To
Fall In Love
Are we misinterpreting the phrase "to fall in love"? Are we
celebrating Valentine's Day knowing the actual reasons of celebration
or are we just looking for more fun? Let's find out what, if not all,
what most of us are actually looking for as youths and why we often tend
to fall in a bottomless pit rather than in love. more
