which software (i mean font) do i need to download and how
do i download from internet (if yes which site)
or is it that my computer has it and i need to set that up (if yes how)

thanks guys

regarding jal shah
nepali film industry is not doing well these days, so she must be frusted and destined to land in america which must be the reason,
money matters.....................

crap i cannot read anything......chyame kancha i got a same problem.

CHYAME KANCHA,

On the left side of the link( ie the Nepalnews page) you will see a list with the title "Font download". Click on "Kantipur" from the list. This will take you to a new page. Click on"Download Kantipur Font (zip)" Download it and unzip it. Then cut and paste the font in your fonts folder i.e. C:\WINDOWS\Fonts

It goes like this..

..

no offence to anybody but why our society has always bad things to say about women...if a guy marry a lot younger gal compare his age then its just showing off manhood, but if gal does the same thing then her "brain malfunctioning"....

aba usle biha garera k bhayo ta usko privet life ma aru le kina interfare garnu ni j maan lagcha tia garos na hami lai k chaso

No Interfere in PVt Life.

If she is happy with him and he is satisfied with her attitude.its great combination.

Main point is Love.it can happen with anyone any where ,no matter-religion,age,nationality or race
But
if this is only money matter .........then it will end up with Damn.......Negative Climax

Hopefully this is just Love.

Cheers,
Guys / Gals just wish ur best for our Actress's new life.....

Congratulations to Jal Shah and Mr. Rimal.
May they have happy lives ahead.

In Nepal, donor agencies spend MILLIONS of dollars ever year doing what they call 'sensitizing' Nepali professionals about 'gender issues'.

Likewise, a number of donor agencies spend hundreds of thousands of dollars every year on 'sensitizing' media professionals about various issues such as gender, conflict, peace and what have you.

As a consumer of newspapers, I have NO idea how effective these donor-sponsored training programs, junkets and workshops are, though I have some good idea that many Nepali journalists live off donor funds to run their various media-related NGOs.

As I -- a consumer of news -- often joke with Basanta Thapa, Himal patrika's Ritu Raj columnist,"Given the amount of foreign aid money thrown at Nepali journalists for this and that every year, why is that a majority are, well, overtrained and underskilled?"

The above report, given its khattam-ness, jhoor-ness and utterly disrespectful/derogatory (from every sense) comments about Jal Shah shows that Nepali journalists still have a lot of learning to do
when it comes to reporting personal/professional details of a well-known Nepali actress.

Oh well.

More later.

Instant family and kids!!!

Anshu has hit the nail on its head. We need more civilized, more sensitive journalists, not these khattam who drool for dollars and other goodies in the name of training and profesional development but see what we get. Same age old mindset. it's like kukur ko puchchhar. most of these journalists, not everyone, of course but an overwhelming majority!

Well said Ashu-ji. But again I think your comments also, in some way, reflect the type of Nepali mentality that is helping for the breeding/fostering of such journalism.

Did you remember before jumping into the bandwagon that the story has been reported in Jana Aastha? This is a kind of tabloid newspaper and regularly features stories similar to those published in western tabloids and gossip magazines. You might want to remember the Shrisha Karki episode.

Tabloid Journalism is a business that sales gossips and sensations to the customers. And obviously private life of celebrities is a soft target. What is the difference between the Sun's report on Madonna or Anna Nicole or Hither Mills and this report in Jana Aastha?

Having said that, I am in total disagreement of the style of this reporting. I came here to have my say only after seeing a learned man like Ashu jumping in the fray to make a big noise on this khattam/jhoor/ derogatory reporting.

There are frailties in all spheres of our society. And this kind of journalism is the product of our mentality as a whole.

BTW Basanta dai is truly professional when it comes to sarcasm. The latest Ritubichar on J. Moriarty and US policy was fantastic.

Who is jal shah? royal ho ki kya ho

When you enter business of showbiz, you are bound to be topic for rumors, gossips, and exaggerated news. If you are a famous showbiz personal, you lose your privacy. Almost everything about you, from your latest haircut (Britney Spears) to Marriage (Jal Shah), becomes news. Mostly, the news regarding the people who spices up our lives are spiced up. This holds true everywhere, and Nepal is no exception. Jal Shah is a successful Nepal Actress. She is the member of a Nepali Showbiz Industry. The news of her marriage here does not reflect the "khatam-ness" of journalism in Nepal; it does not reflect how Nepali journalism treats woman or the nature of Nepali journalism. What it reflects is that the Nepali journalism does not treat showbiz industry's news any differently than the rest of the world.

What a cheesy reporting !

Who is this Jal Shah?

His writing is amusing but I find the quote by Madhubala unnecessary and could be offensive to people. Not only her marriage, every celebrity's marriage won't be able to get away from the media. Now, other papers like 'saptahik' are also going to print it.

'HAPPY MARRIED LIFE TO JALA'

Bishwomani has cheap mentality. His mentality is not grown up enough to realize that it's okay for anyone to marry anyone they choose. As long as they make their decision and they are happy about it, it's not his business to ridicule or poke fun at such a union.

I bet Bishwomani's own life must be pretty fuqd up with that kind of mentality.
