And once the load shedding schedule is out, this everyday event for the year has Pcommenced. We crib, we’re annoyed, we adjust. We take it in our stride, adapt- ing our schedules to the hours that we do have the luxury of electric- ity. The dinner time discussions, more often than not, entail whether it could actually come down to no electricity at all one of these days, if not then definitely sometime next year. It turns into a serious discus- sion with potential plans to solve the energy crisis, or on some days we wave off the possibility with a chuckle. The almost inherent compla- cency is a bone of contention - its obvious coping mechanism benefits is weighed against it being at the root of the deficient citizen activism. Either way, this daily event governs our lives and guides our rou- tines. Alarms ring off in the odd hours of the night as reminders to run the washing machine or the water pump. Many keep the 2722 message handy on their mobile sets for a quick reference to plan out the most mundane of tasks. For some, just cutting down on TV time will do. There isn’t a day that you haven’t spoken about the power cuts, and it’s the easy ice breaker with strangers. We have all found ways around the facets of our routine that it impacts. We substitute, find alternatives, and amend routine clockwork. This issue, Fr!day explores this routine event through a variety of perspectives. After all, load-shedding is an inescapable event on its own, and ripples of events follow everyday as its repercussions.

You need it, he needs it, she needs it, we need it, and they need it. So basically what we are doing is a protest through music.” The Concert Lineup According to Weise, all the bands will be performing five to seven songs. Also The Steam In- juns will be revealing their new number which is focused on the patience of Nepali people which is both a boon and a curse. “We want to make it short, sweet and to the point. The concert will be starting at 6 p.m. and will con- tinue for two hours. Basically, the entry is free because we are not trying to raise funds here; we are making an effort to make people aware of their rights,” she stated. Visual artist, Chirag Bang- del, will be doing a special ex- hibition to raise funds for the concert. He shared, “As one of my friends wonderfully put it, the best way to tackle an issue is with ‘Creative Collaboration’. I hope with this mass meeting, we will voice out a united statement – “We are concerned”. More than anything I would like this concert to be an awareness en- deavor.” Bangdel clarified that this concert is not against the Government, rather it is the youth letting the Government know that they are very con- cerned, and are willing to help the Government find a solution. He also shared that he will prob- ably be speaking a few words at the concert, and if time permits, he also hopes to donate a few of his art works and try to auction them to help support the event. The expectation “We do not expect a miracle to happen and the loadshedding problem to disappear just because of one concert. However we do expect it will be an eye-opener for many citizens. It will encourage people from different fields to do what they can, to fight for a better Nepal.” said Weise. ! page3 one question make your statement As individuals, what can we do to address the dire energy crisis? In these grim times, many of us introspect – what initiatives can I take towards addressing the energy crisis at a broader level, beyond my own economic comfort standards? Actions that can help in this energy crisis, not just a certain economic strata, but all Nepalis, as a people. Some prominent personalities respond: — Mannat Shrestha We need to act.

  • Grandin Understanding Change Text Only
    Symposium on Music and Ritual in the Himalayas Department of Religious studies, Yale, November 2010 Understanding change in the Newar music culture: the bhajan revisited Ingemar Grandin Linköpings universitet, Sweden That a group of men gather to sing bhajan hymns is not something people appear to care very much about. It is just a part of everyday life. --picture 1-- This particular bhajan has its home in a neighborhood – twah – in the heart of the Newar town of Kirtipur, in the Kathmandu Valley, Nepal, not so very far from the great cities of Kathmandu and Lalitpur. The singers have their own room in a pati (resthouse), just inside the shrine to Ganadya, or Ganesh. --picture 2-- My paper here starts out from neighborhood bhajan singing. This type of cultural event, as we will see, is a good starting-point for exploring forms of change in Newar music-making. So let us stay with this particular bhajan session for a few more paragraphs! In certain respects, this is a social event where a group of friends and neighbors assemble to do something together. The man at the triangle, for instance, doesn’t sing much and the reason for his taking up this comparatively soft-sounding instrument seems to be that he doesn’t quite keep the time. Tea for a refreshment break is brought from a nearby shop, and more tea – cooked on an electric clay- stove inside the pati while the singing goes on – is taken before the party breaks up. Participation, rather than for instance musical accomplishment, is a key value in the event, and people invite each other to take turns at the harmonium and the nagara drum.

  • Journal of Newar Studies ISSN 1536-8661 Editorial 1131 Number-7 2010/11 Jwajalapā !
    Newāh Vijñāna Journal of Newar Studies ISSN 1536-8661 Editorial 1131 Number-7 2010/11 Jwajalapā ! Since the last issue of Newāh Vijñāna, there have been some monumental changes in the Newāh commu- nity worldwide, especially in the political field of Nepal. Most notably, on Dec 26, 2009, after centuries of struggle, we became witnesses to one of the most important historical moment in Nepal’s history as Newāh people from all walks of life assembled at Dasharatha Rangashālā, the national stadium of Nepal, to declare Newāh Autonomous State (NAS) under the Federal Republic Nepal. This declaration is to be endorsed by the Constituent Assembly formed after general election that took place in May 2008. However, the autono- mous state still needs a national mandate by the Constituent Assembly for it to be written under the New Constitution of Nepal. The struggle for recognition of Nepal Sambat is no longer a matter of dispute among the elite group; all Newāh supporters are in favor of Nepal Sambat. After all, it is the original calendar of Nepal. Historically Publisher speaking, Nepal Sambat fell into scrutiny for being a ‘Newāh’ Calendar to allow continuity of imported Intl. Nepāl Bhāshā calendar, Bikram Sambat. For decades, this has allowed for a misleading celebration of Nepali New year Sewā Samiti in foreign land by non-Newāh group of Nepalese community. The slogan ‘Nepal Sambat Rastriya Sambat’ had always been a thorny subject during the Panchayat period. It is the fall of Panchayat, as well as the Shah Center for Nepalese rulers, which has paved a way for Nepal Sambat to finally be recognized.

  • Roster of Trained Human Resources in Retrofitting of Private Houses in Nepal
    Government of Nepal National Reconstruction Authority Singhadurbar, Kathmandu Nepal ROSTER OF TRAINED HUMAN RESOURCES IN RETROFITTING OF PRIVATE HOUSES IN NEPAL March 2021 Government of Nepal National Reconstruction Authority Singhadurbar, Kathmandu Roster of Trained Human Resources in Retrofitting of Private Houses in Nepal March 2021 Roster of Trained Human Resources in Retrofitting of Private Houses in Nepal PREAMBLE Earthquake risk is one of the most significant threats to the safety of a population, its investments and its economy; thus, earthquake risk mitigation and reduction through the retrofitting of buildings is essential. As retrofitting is a relatively new concept to most stakeholders, training and demonstration will enhance a common understanding of retrofitting. To date, around 700 partially damaged houses have been retrofitted, using technologies such as the Strong Back approach and the Splint and Bandage approach. The enclosed roster contains detailed information on the builders and engineers who were trained on retrofitting approaches and practices during the retrofitting process of these buildings. This valuable information can be used to support retrofitting work at local levels in the future. Capacity building and demonstration ability is essential for our technical personnel, and these core competencies were enhanced through various trainings on retrofitting. Both engineers and local masons completed training in retrofitting technologies. More than 800 engineers received on the-job-training, whereas more than 2,600 received classroom-based training with field visits. Similarly, more than 2,200 local masons and builders were capacitated through trainings. The roster incorporates detailed information on all the personnel trained in 31 earthquake affected districts. This roster is a valuable resource to be used by all stakeholders who are working for the reconstruction at central and local levels.

  • Traditional, Folk, Fusion, and Confusion: Music and Change In
    Traditional, Folk, Fusion, and conFusion: Music and Change in the Newar Communities of Nepal Subhash Ram Prajapati A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2018 Reading Committee: Shannon Dudley, Chair Christina Sunardi David Henderson Ratna Maya Magarati Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Music ©Copyright 2018 Subhash Ram Prajapati University of Washington Abstract Traditional, Folk, Fusion, and conFusion: Music and Change in the Newar Communities of Nepal Subhash Ram Prajapati Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Shannon Dudley Music This dissertation explores the musical changes in the Newar communities from the 1920s to 2018. For centuries, the indigenous people from Kathmandu, the Newars have been practicing predominantly Hindu and Buddhist culture, inviting comparison with India before the Mughal invasion of the sixteenth century. Since Nepal was never invaded by the Mughals, the scholars argue that the Newars and their music offer us a glimpse into an archaic South Asian culture. The Newar musical culture, which is often contemplated as untouched tradition that has been in practice for centuries, these days is undergoing a lot of rapid changes in content and the context mainly as a result of media, migration, and modernization. In a relatively short period of time, there has been a huge increase in women participation in traditional music, the caste barrier has been heavily relaxed and some traditional musicians have paved a way for commercialization. On the one hand, traditional and folk music has been revitalized in many communities through newly formed gender and caste inclusive music groups.
