REFLECTIONS a Student Magazine of Thames International College Issue 02 / 2017-18 REFLECTIONS A Student Magazine of Thames International College Issue 02 / 2017-18 LIVE FOR TODAY BELLE FRANCE STRANGERS AGAIN MY EXPERIENCE ON TRAINING SESSION FEMINISM IN NEPAL 4 EDITOR Letter from the Editor It is with great pleasure that I introduce the second edition of the college magazine, Reflections. In this edition, we’ve created a platform where students can collaborate and be creative. This magazine also provides an opportunity for people to connect with each other through artistic expressions, whether in the form of essays and stories or sketches and graphic art. We have curated each page with that in mind. We’re hoping that with each segment of Reflections, we’ll be able to see our family in a clearer picture. Having to work on the magazine was a demanding task, but the entire team worked relentlessly to get the final product out. One thing that makes me happy is the amount of support that we received from the Thames family. We are very fortunate that the entire college came together for this second edition. I would like to specially commend the work done by Mr. Anish Bhatta who worked persistently and operated at his true potential. The magazine includes stories that were written by students as part of a short-term course, Reading and Writing Stories, facilitated by Mr. Niranjan Kunwar. Several weeks of intense discussions, challenging readings, critical analysis and a good many hours led to wonderful stories that deal with our society’s sensitive issues. Over the past two decades, the college has seen a lot of people come and go. Most alumni are still attached to their formative experiences at Thames. To honor their time and memories at Thames, we present the new Alumni Section that contains pieces from past graduates. For a more holistic approach on the real world, the college allows the students to work in different organizations over the course of their college life. The magazine includes an Internship section that highlights the experiences of students’ lives at different organizations and some of the things they learned. We all know that the college conducts various events to engage students. The magazine includes an Event Highlights section that provides a glimpse of Thames’ extra-curricular spirit. The college always encourages students to pursue their interests by getting them involved in different clubs. There is a section in the magazine that describes these clubs, including their purpose, activities, team members and their yearly plans. www.thamescollege.edu.np REFLECTIONS EDITOR 5 We’ve also included an interview of a renowned photographer, Mr. Santosh Raj Pathak, the recipient of the inaugural Outstanding Graduate Award, and Ms. Debanjana Bhattacharya, one of the first members to join the faculty of Thames. Along with these, we interviewed students who have been on a quest to be entrepreneurs. I personally feel that one of the most exciting sections of the magazine is the Teachers’ Section where some of the teachers of the college have included their pieces. Last year, the college’s students travelled to various places in Nepal as well as to our neighbour India and to Bhutan. Some even made it to France. We’ve included the experiences of the students and interesting stories from these trips. We have a section where some of the students from First Year share their initial experiences at the college. There is a saying that every artist was first an amateur. The magazine dedicates a section to the future artists within the Thames community. We are thankful to everyone who put the time and energy into their individual pieces for us. With beautiful poems, gorgeous sketches and some appealing articles, the contributors shared their love for their chosen form of art, some even for the first time. It is a matter of great privilege to us that we were able to provide them with a platform to present their individual talents, and making the magazine what it really is. Finally, I would like to thank everyone who helped us through this journey and start this magazine at Thames. I would like to thank Mr. Sujan Kayastha, the Academic Director of the college, who entrusted us with the responsibility of the magazine. He was there motivating us and pushing us to create something that can be a benchmark in the future. I would like to thank Ms. Kriti KC and Mr. Awishkar Lama who were always up for giving us meaningful advices. I’d also like to thank Mr. Hari Prasad Silwal, who helped us edit the Nepali pieces. Also, special thanks to Mr. Niranjan Kunwar and Mr. Saifullah Muhammad for being a constant support to us. I hope all of you enjoy the magazine a lot and excuse us for any kind of mistakes. I also hope the magazine inspires readers to step out of their comfort zones and start taking creative risks.

I used to get so annoyed every morning as I woke up to the sound of People laughing loudly during yoga in the neighbourhood. If not my loud neighbors, then my dog, pawpy who Wouldn’t keep it down, when birds chirped in our garden. I now always wake up to the sound of my phone ringing. I do not rush to the kitchen to get the Times to Finish Sudoku before my brother gets to it. I do not look out from the balcony and wave at my neighbor. I do not spend time staring at the stars at night while listening To vanilla twilight. Honestly, I can go on and on about all the things I loved That I’ve stopped doing now. So I guess it’s true. As my mother always tells me, I am a grown up now. A seventeen year old grown up . And after a series of regretful moments in my life, I’ve come to the realization that life is not about getting all the Things you want from the supermarket Or having the guy you always had a crush on, like you back. And it is SO NOT always about winning. Turns out www.thamescollege.edu.np REFLECTIONS 11 Life has always been about all the small things That exist around us, That happen around us Things that makes us wonder, And pause And things that keeps us moving forward When I got up from my bed today After crying myself to sleep last night, “How stupid I was”, I realized I went out to the balcony and saw my neighbor playing With her new born baby daughter.

The NC and UML just have to agree to a Maoist proposal to have Prime Minister Madhav Kumar Nepal make a speech in parliament containing the following sentence: “The Maoists regard the president’s move on the army chief as unconstitutional…” But the UML and NC have said there is a legal issue with calling the president’s move “unconstitutional” because that would make the current coalition also unconstitutional. “That’s all that is holding things up,” the prime minister’s press adviser, Bishnu Rijal, told Nepali Times on Thursday.

Despite the success stories, Asia and Pacific remains home to two thirds of the world’s poor. ADB is a multilateral development finance institution owned by 64 members, 46 from the region and 18 from other parts of the globe. ADB’s vision is a region free of poverty. Its mission is to help its developing member countries reduce poverty and improve their quality of life. ADB’s main instruments in providing help to its developing member countries are policy dialogues, loans, technical assistance, grants, guarantees, and equity investments. ADB’s annual lending volume is typically about $6 billion, with technical assistance provided usually totaling about $180 million a year. ADB’s headquarters is in Manila.

    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles The Work of Disaster: Events of Affliction, Care, and Intervention in Nepal A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Anthropology by Aidan Seale-Feldman 2018 Ó Copyright by Aidan Seale-Feldman 2018 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION The Work of Disaster: Events of Affliction, Care, and Intervention in Nepal by Aidan Seale-Feldman Doctor of Philosophy in Anthropology University of California, Los Angeles, 2018 Professor Christopher J. Throop, Chair This dissertation offers an ethnographic account of mental health governance, psychosocial interventions, and forms of shared affliction in Nepal before and after the 2015 earthquakes. By thinking with theories of event and crisis through the lens of critical phenomenology, I ask the following questions: How can ethnography approach emergent phenomena? How does an affliction become knowable through a particular concept and made into an object of intervention? How is evidence for therapeutic efficacy made visible in the midst of a psychosocial encounter? What are the local/global historical, political, and socioeconomic forces that have brought about the emergence of mental health governance in Nepal? Based on 24 months of field research, I conducted participant observation, interviews, focus groups, household surveys, and followed psychosocial counselors in the field to respond to these questions. In the first part of the dissertation I outline the history of mental health governance in Nepal in relation to the emergence of the Global Mental Health movement. In the second part I examine cases of adolescent “mass hysteria” ii as they were conceptualized as “conversion disorder,” “hysteria,” chhopne, and bhut/pret, pissach laagne.
