Photos from SAY YES by TopEvent UK

Say Yes party by TopEvent UK took place on the 19th December just when London was going through one of the coldest Winters in history. With Arctic weather conditions and snow affecting much of the country it was a tense moment for event organisers on the 19th. On the same night Farnborough Ballers had Hamro Party – Traffic Light Party at Club Colleseum in Vauxhall. Its pretty evident that to make a Nepali party successful it needs to be attended not only by those living in the area but those who travel from afar. Whatever doubts the event organisers may have had slowly faded away when masses of Nepalese party animals graced both events. 
Showing their true Nepalese; Gurkha Spirit – the word is that BOTH events was enjoyed by the attendees. Here are some of the images from SAY YES which took place at the World-class MINISTRY OF SOUND. I remember walking into the VIP lounge at 2am after finishing my duties and this was one of the first time where everyone had got tipsy before me. All in all, my observation tells me people had a pleasant time.

NepHop UK

My theory on parties is that, its the same, same DJ (in most cases), same music, its about you and who you’re with. You are the dance, the party is the music. You have to MAKE it fun.

Greetings to everyone. Merry Christmas to all my readers from everywhere around the world. I hope you all have a pleasant day, full of new experiences and flashbacks of the good memories. Celebrations and festivals are also the moment where we are reminded of the past; of that person who is not here anymore or who has now become distant. However, this year there maybe someone new. 
Live each day like its your last but learn like you’ll live forever and so on. Taking photos may not be the best thing but remember to capture your memories somehow.
You shall see a change on lexlimbu.com in the coming months but for now you guys can expect to read Ek Chin with Sahana Bajracharya on the 28th December. Take Care and Stay Safe

Icebar in London – BELOW ZERO!

By

Ever since I started University I see myself indulging in various things that wasnt really me before. I guess its all about ”Living Only Once”. Yesterday evening I along with few friends in tow visited Ice Bar in London which is just off Regent Street. Now this is not just any bar, after paying £16 per person for the entry fee which came with a complimentary cocktail we waited for our time slot to be let into the bar which is -5 degrees. Now dont ask me why we went to the Ice Bar when London is already in freezing conditions. The ice slabs have apparently been imported from Sweden and the foreign lady warned us if we break anything including the ice-glass then we would get fined. The session lasts 45 minutes but it only took 7 minutes for us to start wondering around aimlessly and start playing antakshari.
The song of the moment was ”Pan Ko Paat” and we even did a medley of Jingle Bells to kick the Christmas spirit in. After few minutes of that we hugged the ice, dared each other to lick the ice table – just imagine how many people have touched them. Urgh, but hey I did it. If your wallets quiet thick and you want to experience something else then go ahead and visit the Ice Bar or else give it a miss for now. 

PS. You will get a very hideous looking poncho type of jacket with attached gloves for your session.

The Last Resort forced to SHUT DOWN!!

Indeed a sad day for the tourism sector in Nepal. With only few days away from the much hyped Nepal Tourism Year 2011, The Last Resort which is home to bungee jumping, canyon swing, canyoning and various other thrilling activities has been forced to shut down after dispute between the management and the local VDC’s. One of the local VDC has illegally blocked the bridge off connecting the resort to the roadside. The press release from TLR is below, have a read. 
I had the opportunity to visit TLR last year where I stayed overnight and I must say its an oasis. I took photos there but the photos never came out as beautiful as what I experienced. The staff there were mostly all locals who got the opportunity from this company so I dont really know what really happened during the talks but I just hope they come up with a quick solution which will benefit both sides in the long term. 
Jai Nepal!

UPDATE: 23/12/10 – Operations have fully resumed!

VISIT NEPAL 2011 PHOTO COMPETITION is being hosted by PARCHA PRODUCTIONS. It involves sending a picture that best represents the appeal of Nepal to the rest of the world to the admin who then upload it for you and the picture liked by most of the people within Facebook will get to select the winner who will win the first prize of a £100 and the runner up will get £50. If the winner is not living in UK they will get the sum closest to that amount within whichever nation they reside in. Follow link http://www.facebook.com/pages/Parcha-Productions-FunLimited/121666784525051 for more info!

Parcha along with N9 currently have an upcoming grand new year party in London, http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=127203704007377&index=1 follow the link to check out more detail of the party. I am attending it because its New Years eve, you have to do something memorable blah blah blah…also London and the tubes will all grind to a halt as everyone holds their breath to watch the dreaded fireworks off London eye- have seen that but would probably have looked better and felt warmer if I had watched it on telly. I am also attending it because the dudes at Parcha can throw amazing parties and I hear they have live fireworks at this party!

I have heard some cynics badmouth event companies and enterprises that have lately propped up in UK. Fair enough they have their views but me I am maintaining a positive stance on it. So some people want to make money using some ideas and aiming for a particular market- sound familiar? Erm yep that your HSBC bank, your tesco supermarket, your Topshop retailer, your hairdresser or in other words capitalism at work. This is the world baby! We are all consumers and I would happily be a consumer for a Nepali cause.

UK’s Turn to Help Kumar Kancha

You may have already read my previous post which talked about the event ‘An Evening for Kumar Kancha’which is taking place tommorow at Patan Museum and is organized by Namrata Shrestha. The Nepalese diaspora in Australia have been very dedicated in raising funds for Kumar Kancha with more than $3277 Australian dollars already raised. Nepal has raised more than Nrs 106,141 so I believe it is now time for us in the UK to raise money for Kumar Kancha.
By the beginning of next week I shall have a new page on this blog which gives more detailed information about donaters. However for now, a poster is being made and UK’S TURN TO HELP KUMAR KANCHA will be mentioned tonight on BFBS Gurkha Radio and the poster will also be printed on Europe’s Nepali Patra. Its not about how much you give, its about the support. Feel free to give as much or as little. Whatever we raise, will be sent across to Namrata Shrestha where she will forward the amount to the right people.
I will try my best to make this whole process transparent and I know trust is a key issue here, if you do not believe that what I am doing is genuine then feel free to seek other ways to help Kumar Kancha.

Talking movies with Vinay Shrestha

Vinay Shrestha is one out of the many new actors who have made Nepali movies his profession. Having started off as a model appearing in various music videos, Shrestha went to Mumbai where he enlisted himself in an acting course later to make his debut in Alok Nembang‘s Sano Sansar. Vinay is back with his third release which has a multi-cast, Ek Din Ek Raat. After the success of First Love, Vinay is positive that the audience will accept Ek Din Ek Raat as this movie could probably be the first thriller of Nepali Cinema. Whether the audience will accept it or not is something we shall find out once the flick hits cinemas all over Nepal on the 31st of December. 
Firstly, we know that you have an upcoming release Ek Din Ek Raat on Dec 31st; explain to us what the movie and what your character is about? The movie is a thriller and I play a journalist having a mission to prove something in 24 hours ofcourse along with the team.
 
Vinay with Deeya Maskey
You once said ”If the movie and modelling scenario improves, I am here to stay for a long time” (ournepal.com interview), being a dozen or more music videos old and having done three movies; Is Vinay Shrestha here for good? Verrrry much so and slowly I will be entering into production too. Its about 35 videos that will probably be my next project.

Through your short movie career you’ve been lucky to have had the opportunity to play diverse characters with depth. What has been your favourite character till date? I can never have enough of my character in Sano Sansar coz I believe I can do that effortlessly..haha
Having studied acting in Bombay prior to your entry in movies do you think that was enough to compete alongside the new actors who are from the theatre background? Well! I am not here to compete but to do work that satisfies me deep within… I believe in myself and the course I underwent in Mumbai. I bet it’ll take me a long way…

What are the advantages of fame and recognition in Nepal? Actually nothing…We run out of advantages, wish we had plenty.
 
Any crazy fan experience yet? Recently a girl in a club in Pokhara ran to me and kissed passionately. Woof!!! That was unexpected…mind u I didnt return it 😉

Whos the most famous person in your mobile contacts? My loved one.

Sell Ek Din Ek Raat to us.

Everyone should watch it because its the first Nepali thriller released so far and technically its flawless. The are performance which is just spectacular from Saugat Malla, Karma, Pooja and Deeya. My role is something new for the audience as well so I hope you enjoy my performance.Thanks Lex, I really appreciate this.

Prince Paras arrested in Pokhara

 To cut a long story short – Former Prince Paras has been arrested from The Fulbari Resort (Pokhara) on Tuesday for his drunken act in Tiger Tops Resort in Chitwan on Saturday evening with Rubel Chaudhary (Sujata Koirala’s son-in-law). After a 5 hour stand-off, Paras gave himself in but asked to be escorted by a private helicopter to Bharatpur Regional Police Station. It is said that he will be spending the next few nights in a one-bedroomed cell. 
Various parties have come together to boycott Paras and are asking for the court to give him up to 12 years in prison. Like seriously, all he did was threaten to kill someone, we have ministers in the Govnt who have killed families, looted thousands and are still sitting their fat asses in the CA and slowing the whole movement. Yes PUNISH HIM but 12 years is just wayyyy outta the line. O and PUNISH HIM for this, not for his family’s behaviour or for his past behaviour.
Read the previous Para article here!
Also, like all the drama seems to be taking place at Resorts! Im going there with my camcorder next year 😉 – The third picture is of Royalists who came out to support Paras. We live in such a fickle nation. The people rose to abolish Monarchy, and slowly they are rising to bring back Monary. ARE WE READY?

From December 26th, Chitwan will host its very own Elephant Festival and in this festival there will also be a Miss Jumbo beauty contest. Now kudos to the person who thought of this!! What next? Miss Bhaisi?hhaha! There will also be a football tournament, sprint and a catwalk where up to 10 elephant cubs will be showcasing their dresses. A panel of five judges will scrutinise their ability to do the Namaste, walk on two feet and dance. As part of the talent round, they will have to pick up coins and flowers and perform other tricks. 
Do you think PETA will get involved in this? lol, Poor elephants, I hope they have fun. Cant wait to see them in their dresses. LoL

Former Crown Prince Paras was at Tiger Tops Jungle Lodge(Chitwan) with his family when he was engaged in a verbal scuffle between Rubel Chaudhary on Saturday evening, the son-in-law of Deputy PM Sujata Koirala. Now no one really knows what happened like most Nepali news – but its believed that Paras persistently conversed with Rubel about the political situation and blamed the Koiralas for the removal of monarchy in the country.
It is said that when Paras was insulted by Rubel, he whipped out a gun and threatened to open fire. After this incident the Chaudhary couple was advised to return to their room whilst Paras sat drinking. The couple left the next morning and Paras and family are believed to be in Fulbari Resort in Pokhara. The updated news is that Paras had not obtained a license to carry fire-arms from Kathmandu therefore he has broken the law. Deputy PM Koirala has vowed to take stern actions against Prince Paras after her return from abroad.

Popular Nepali musician Kumar Kancha has been bedridden in a Mumbai hospital for several months now, just fighting for his life after a spinal cord operation. Without enough financial support, Kumar Kancha pleaded live on camera for the support from his fellow countrymen during this trying time. Watch the video below.

Actor and Model Namrata Shrestha has took on this project by organising ”An Evening for Kumar Kancha”  which will take place on the 18th Dec at Patan Musuem from 6PM where singers like Hemant Rana, Ram Krishna Dhakal, Mallika Karki, Shreya Sotang, Dharmendra Sewan,Suresh Kumar Chhetri and  bands like The Unity and Aghoors  will perform for Kumar Kancha.
“We’re all upset by the news, but we’re optimistic about his treatment and hopeful that we’ll be able to raise some funds to help him out. Let’s not hope he becomes the second tragic case of Gopal Bhutani who died with a dream, unfulfilled,” Shrestha told Republica.
The tickets are priced Rs 1500 and are available at Jasmine Club, Tripureshwor, The Attic Lounge, Lazimpat and Janaki Technology, Jawlakhel. For Further Details, contact 9803162500, or type KK YOUR NAME and send SMS to 5001…

Sweet Secret is located in New Road, Kathmandu and is possibly Nepal’s first sex store. It has only been one year since the Condom House came into operation in Sundhara and its already tasted sweet success. With the ever-growing condom market, both of these stores are milking it 😉
Prabin Dhakal who works at Sweet Secret told Saptahik they have more then 40 different products ranging from inflatable dolls to fleshlights. They even sell 12 different condoms which you can buy according to your own RASHEE. Now thats the first  im hearing of this. 
Cool stuff, apparently they have loads more… music condoms, crystal, glow-in-the dark ones too (just in case the girl cant find the tool- LoL).
Promote safe sex!

Watch this 12minute long documentary made by Mamita L. Setling (Parbati from NepUNITY’s AJA BHOLI video). Manifesting A Dream focuses on Mastakush (Kush Limbu) from Belgium and his views on what Hip-Hop is. Also in the video is London’s very own Mastermind (Kavir Tamang). Isn’t Mamita’s documentary just amazing? So professional. O and Mastakush is just real. True individual. A lotta things he says in the video are just bang on. 
I hope all the talents shown in the video and those behind the scenes continue to grow. Hopefully we can see more from Mastakush and more awesome documentaries from Mamita L. Setling.

These are the EXCLUSIVE on set pictures of Sudarshan Thapa’s next movie Ke Yo Maya Ho which stars Aryan Sigdel, Saugat Malla, Sushma Karki and Arunima Lamsal. Almost all of the filming took place in Pokhara and Jomsom. The movie focuses on the four friends relationship etc. and apparently also showcases the living together before marriage trend! Sounds interesting. Lets see if Director Sudarshan Thapa can bring originality in Ke Yo Maya Ho unlike his previous Mero Euta Saathi Cha(carbon-copy of Millionaires First Love). 
PS. doesnt the photos remind you of Kohi…Mero? Just saying!!!
