के हो इबोला? मेरो अन्तर्वार्ता


This is the visual record of my audio interview given to Banepa-based Prime FM today morning. This relates to the nature and spread of Ebola virus infection. In this interview I discuss about the implications of the spread of Ebola virus infection beyond Africa. Even though the earlier part of the interview is missing, one can get some meaningful info.

खास गरी अंग्रेजी बुझ्न कठिनाइ हुनेहरुका लागि इबोला भाइरसले गराउने संक्रमण, त्यसका लक्षण, त्यसको ऐतिहासिक पृष्ठभुमि र त्यसबाट बच्ने उपायहरुबारे मैले एउटा एफ एमका लागि दिएको टेलिफोन अन्तर्वार्ताको अंश हो यो । इबोला मात्र नभएर डेंगु र बर्ड फ्लूजस्ता अन्य घातक भाइरल रोगहरु र नेपालमा तिनको खतराबारे पनि यसमा चर्चा हुन्छ । मोबाइलबाट खिचिएको भिडियोको शुरुवाती अंशमा दृश्य अस्पष्ट भए पनि भिडियोको धेरै जसो भाग स्पष्ट र उपयोगी छ । बीच बीचमा सुनसान हुनुको कारणचाहिं अर्कोतर्फबाट सोधिएका प्रश्नहरु रेकर्ड नहुनु हो ।

विजय कुमारको खुशी पढेपछि

जीवन, खुशी अहंकार

जीवनमा अफ्ठ्यारा घुम्तीहरुमा हिंडिरहँदा मैले कुनै क्षणमा पलायनलाई एउटा विकल्पको रुपमा कल्पना गरेको थिएँ, त्यसलाई यथार्थमा बदल्ने आँट गरिनँ, त्यो बेग्लै कुरा हो त्यसबेला लाग्थ्योः मेरा समग्र दुखहरुको कारण मेरो वरपरको वातावरण हो, यसबाट साहसपूर्वक बाहिरिएँ भने नयाँ दुख आउलान् तर तत्क्षणका दुरुह दुखहरु गायब भएर जानेछन् कति गलत थिएँ !

Why I write...

I do not know why I often tend to view people rather grimly: they usually are not as benevolent, well-intentioned and capable or strong as they appear to be. This assumption is founded on my own self-assessment, though I don’t have a clue as to whether it is justifiable to generalize an observation made in one individual. This being the fact, my views of writers as ‘capable’ people are not that encouraging: I tend to see them as people who intend to create really great and world-changing writings but most of the times end up producing parochial pieces. Also, given the fact that the society where we grow and learn is full of dishonesty, treachery, deceit and above else, mundanity, it is rather unrealistic to expect an entirely reinvigorating work of writing from every other person who scribbles words in paper.


On life's challenges

Somebody has said: “I was born intelligent but education ruined me”. I was born a mere child, as everyone is, and grew up as an ordinary teenager eventually landing up in youth and then adulthood. The extent to which formal education helped me to learn about the world may be debatable but it definitely did not ruin me. There were, however, things that nearly ruined me. There came moments when I contemplated some difficult choices. And there came and passed periods when I underwent through an apparently everlasting spell of agony. There came bends in life from which it was very tempting to move straight ahead instead of following the zigzag course.
