हरे हामी नेपालीहरुको भाग्य!
ब्राजिल पछीको दोश्रो जलश्रोतको धनी देश नेपालमा दिन प्रती दिन लोड्शेडिङ बढिरहेको छ । अब नेपालिहरु को भाग्य भनेको उहि प्राचिन् ढुङे युग् तिर उन्मुख् भैरहेको भान् हुन्छ ।

Kidney transplant success in Bir
The oldest and the largest hospital in the country, Bir Hospital has successfully carried out a kidney transplant operation. This was the second attempt made in the hospital. Following the success of the operation, Bir has become the second hospital in the country to successfully transplant kidney.
Organising a press meet in the capital on Wednesday, Bir Hospital officials said that a team of surgeons comprising of Dr. Sandip Gulariya of All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), Dr. Bijaya Kumar Sharma, Dr. Damodhar Pokharel, Dr. Bisworaj Joshi, Dr. Pukar Chandra Shrestha and Dr. Paras Mani Shrestha had transplanted two kidneys in Bir Hospital on December 12. The team had carried out kidney transplants on Sujit Bhattrai from Jhamsikhel and Dawa Tamang from Okhaldhunga. Maha Laxmi Bhattrai (mother of sujit Bhattarai) and
Kale Tamang ( elder brother of Dawa Tamang) had donated their kidneys to the receipients. Bir Hospital had earlier in November 2004 made the first attempt to transplant a kidney on Pradip Chaudhari but it failed.
"It is our second attempt after a four- year gap, and we succeeded. Now, we are determined to continue such operations in the days to come," said Surgeon Dr. Damodhar Pokharel, head of Surgery Department at Bir. "Even the Ministry of
Health (MoH) has given us assurances of cooperation for its continuation."
Following the government's permission to carry out kidney transplants in the
country given on August 4 this year, Tribhuvan University Teaching Hospital
(TUTH), Maharajgunj, had done a transplant operation successfully within a week. TUTH has carried out 15 kidney transplants to date. TUTH charges of Rs.
350,000 for a kidney transplant, compared with over Rs. 1 million that needs to be spent if one goes to India for a similar surgery. However,it costs only Rs. 250,000 at Bir Hospital, according to Dr. Pokharel.
According to MoH, there are over 600 people in Nepal who have undergone kidney transplant operations so far by going to India and other countries.

Mohali emerges as alternative venue
The BCCI and the ECB are engaged in "positive discussions" to ensure the two-Test series goes ahead with Mohali and Chennai now believed to have been identified as the new venues. The BCCI said last week that Chennai would replace Mumbai as the host of the second Test, following terror attacks in the city which forced England to return home without completing the tour. But it now turns out that discussions are being held on whether Chennai can host the first Test and Mohali the second.
The pre-Test practice match is also likely to be held at the venue of the first Test, scheduled to start from December 11, underscoring reports that the ECB had made this request.
"The discussions are still going on and nothing has been finalised as yet," MP Pandove, BCCI treasurer and secretary of the Punjab Cricket Association (PCA), which runs the Mohali venue, told Cricinfo. Pandove, however, refused to confirm the venue change.
What is certain is that Ahmedabad - the scene of serial bomb blasts three months ago - has been ruled out as the first Test venue considering its relative proximity to Mumbai.
Under the BCCI schedule, revised following the terror strikes, the first Test was to be held as originally scheduled from Ahmedabad from December 11-15, and the second Test in Chennai from December 19-23. The pre-Test practice match between England and a Board President's XI was to be held in Vadodara from December 5-7.
Chennai is now being considered for the first Test, possibly because it is seen as a venue with the least threat perception from a security point of view, and will help ease the immediate fears expressed by some of the England players on touring India. The ECB has specifically asked for a southern Indian venue for the second Test instead of Mumbai.
There were also reports that Kolkata could be an alternate venue instead of Ahmedabad, but Jagmohan Dalmiya, the president of the Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB) told Cricinfo that he was yet to receive any official information from the BCCI.
Hugh Morris, the managing director of the ECB, indicated that if England failed to reach India in time for the match against Board President's XI, they might opt for a neutral venue provided the tour was still on. "We have to keep our options open, and training in Abu Dhabi is definitely an option," he said.
