Our National Anthem to Change

We are grown up singing “Shree Man Gambhira Nepali” but now it’s time to remember another song for the Anthem. Due to the political changes in our country, the National Anthem is decided to be changed.

A song written by Pradeep Rai as known as “Byaakul Maila,”has been referred to as the new National Anthem. The song is like “Sayaau Thunga Phool Haami Eutai Mala Nepali” and it contains 5 paras and 47 words. It has been selected by the “National Anthem Selection Task Team” under the chairmanship of cultural analyst, Mr. Satya Mohan Joshi.

Mr. Joshi handed over the song to the “Cultural & Tourism minister” Mr. Pradeep Gyawali, at a press conference organized last Thursday. The song was selected among 1 thousand 2 hundred and 72 songs, without looking at the name of the lyricist.

However, the team has selected the song, it is yet to be finalized by the cabinet. There are still some controversies that the lyricist was a king’s supporter before. Now that his lyric is selected, some people are still not willing to grant his song as the “National Anthem”.
There is still some confusion whether the song will be recognized as the National Anthem or not.

Bista bags second bronze for Nepal

Deepak Bista bagged the second bronze medal for Nepal at the ongoing 15th Asian Games in Doha, Qatar.

Bista bagged the bronze medal in 75-kg category by defeating a Kuwaiti player in the quarter final on Friday. He, however, lost to a Qatari player in semi final, in what the Korean coach Kwon Hyouk claimed as biased refereeing.

After Manita Shahi won the first bronze medal on Thursday, this was the second medal for Nepal.

Bista is one of the most successful taekwondo players of Nepal. He has already won gold medal thrice in the South Asian games. He had also won a bronze medal in the previous Busan Asian games held four years ago.

Meanwhile, on Friday, Kanchhi Maya Koju completed her 10,000 meter running in 37 minutes 59.76 seconds. A silver medalist at Tenth South Asian Games, Koju came last in the race in Doha, which was won by a Japanese runner.

Poila Jana Paam Vs Maile Lyauna Paam

"Poila Jana Pam" is one song which has been bringing back the smiles on most peoples’ faces and at the same time criticisms have been flowing in. Sung by Komal Oli it is the title song of an album of the same name. and released under the label of Music Nepal.

Just recently, two artists -- Bimam Chhetri and Suman Budha – cashing in on the popularity of "Poila Jana Pam" have released a song titled "Maile Lyauna Pam" incorporated on the album of the same name, 'Maile Lyauna Pam'. The irony of it all is that 'Maile Lyauna Pam' is doing much better in the market.

All said and done, Music Nepal is now all geared up to file a case against Bimam Chhetri and Suman Budha. Komal states, "I have no grievance against Bimam and Suman. Their song is very entertaining but Music Nepal, from whom I had released 'Poila Jana Pam' are planning to register a complaint against them in court after some homework. They say that Bimam and Suman have copied the tunes of one of my songs titled "Tulsipurma Ma Janda" on this particular song' Maile Lyauna Pam', which is on my previous album 'Mal Mal Kiri' and which was also released by Music Nepal."

Though Komal is not making an issue out of the latest development, she has some grand ideas cooking up in her mind. She shares, "Soon, I will be releasing an album which would be a counter attack to "Maile Lyauna Pam". I am doing so not because I am angry but I believe that this would be rather interesting and entertaining. The song shall be called "K Ho Timro Naam, K Cha Timro Kaam, Palna Sakchau Sakdainau Kati Kamauchau Daam". The flavor of this track will be very jhaurey and will soon hit the music stands."
