    Kathmandu, the vibrant capital of Nepal, is known for its rich history, cultural heritage, and warm hospitality. However one aspect that has become a cause of frustration for both residents and visitors alike is the unmanaged traffic system. The bustling streets of Kathmandu are often characterized by congestion, lack of traffic control, and a disregard for road rules. It's high time we address this issue   and work towards implementing a more efficient and organized traffic system.   Anyone who has experienced the traffic in Kathmandu knows the feeling of being stuck in a never-ending stream of vehicles.

Film Review: Page 3

Image
Page 3 is one of those films which is made to expose societal sludge. Madhur Bhandarkar made this film compelling but it is overly pessimistic. This film is all about gossip, celebrities, film industry, party, and tabloid journalism. Early in the film, it is made clear that “Page 3” stands for the page of the newspaper, in which the social figures of the city are displayed, day in and day out, doing nothing more than attending parties and shows. It exposes the life of people whose lifestyle is peculiar and nasty. They care for nothing but fame, they crave for more money and a higher reputation. Film has exposed those characters who will do anything to get exposure in the media, to get their names printed on the daily newspaper’s column known as “Page 3” which will be the centre of people’s attention. The film industry is shown as corrupt, with casting couch being common among filmmakers. As the story unfolds, enters the upholder of the film, Madhavi Sharma ( Konkona Sen), who is a page...
