what's up with india closing the border at the moment? i've heard people saying that nepal doesn't get any petrol at the moment because india stopped the delivery?

The Indian government is not happy with the Nepali constitution for whatever reason. They’re meddling with Nepal’s internal affairs and they’re not happy with it because they didn’t get their way with whatever it was they wanted. Since a lot of resources come into Nepal via India (Nepal is a landlocked country with India on 3 sides of it), if India blocks it then well Nepal doesn’t get resources. I’m not completely familiar with the situation…there is a lot of politics involved and politics tend to give me a headache more often than not. But this constitution is like a first copy of a book, there are going to be changes made to it, and they have addressed a lot of equal rights issues especially relating to the LGBT community of Nepal (which is a big deal as no other South Asian or even Asian country has done this as far as I know). It’s no where close to being perfect, but people have been waiting for this for years, and now it’s finally here. There is something concrete to work from and I’m sure improvements will be made to address issues.

This article is written from an Indian perspective (written by an Indian Member of Parliament) and gives some insight into the situation. Here’s an excerpt from it: 

Modi has thus done our vital interests in Nepal irreversible damage, confirming everything the worst anti-Indian baiters in that country have maintained for years. We have vital security interests in Nepal. China is Nepal’s neighbour on the other side of the Himalayas. In the course of the last few days, Modi has inflicted more harm to India’s standing in Nepal vis-a-vis China than all our past mistakes put together. While Modi’s India has insulted the sovereign, secular Republic of Nepal by merely “noting”, not “welcoming” its new Constitution, while subtly snubbing Nepal’s Constituent Assembly by calling it “a” Constitution, not “the” Constitution, and conveying - none too subtly - India’s “concern” at continuing violence in the plains, China has upstaged us by declaring that “as a friendly neighbor, Chinese side notes with pleasure that Nepal’s Constituent Assembly has endorsed the new Constitution.” In one fell blow, the Chinese have ingratiated themselves with the Constitutionally-authorized establishment in Nepal, while India has self-certified itself as a regional bully. The mess Modi has made of our relations with Islamic Pakistan has now been replicated with Hindu (albeit secular) Nepal. Alienating the Nepalese, who are truly the ‘pasban’ of our northern borders, is the silliest self-goal we could score.

Six months after Nepal earthquake: makeshift schools and traumatised children

Huge numbers of children in earthquake-hit Nepal are still living in a state of chaos and fear - and many are worried they won’t complete their education.

Six months after the disaster, in which almost 9000 people died and more than 50,000 classrooms were destroyed or damaged, there are still tens of thousands of girls and boys out of school.

And many more are still recovering from the trauma of the devastating earthquake of April 25 and major aftershock on May 12.

About Me

I grew up in a small town helping my parents on their farm. There I developed my love for nature and a desire to explore. Now I travel around the world photographing nature.

Interests

I love to travel. I have been everywhere, from Alaska to Zimbabwe. For every trip I keep a travel log of my adventures and capture the world as I see it.

Check out my photo gallery to get a glimpse into where I have been. And drop me a line if want to find out more. I always love to hear from fellow travelers.

Aspirations

I am looking for my next big adventure. There are still many places I want to visit and even more to which I want to return. The camera is charged up and my backpack is packed; drop me a line if you know where I should go next.
