They Said & Tittle-Tattle ...........

3 | The Sagarmatha Times | December 2011

The current government will accomplish the twin task of ensuring a new constitution for the country and take the peace process to a successful conclusion. The opposition parties NC and UML will also join his govern-ment after November 30 to give it a shape of a truly national government.

Dr. Baburam Bhattari, Prime Minister

It is not Baburam Bhattarai to decide what agreements he needs to sign or not to sign. In this crucial juncture, India will not impose any agreement upon him since In-dia knows this is a government which does not have any mandate to ink a major treaty.

Chakra Bastola, Nepali Congress Leader

I a m l e a d i n g t h e g o v e r n m e n t , n o t R a m C h a n d r a P o u -del. Party has already decided to give me responsibility of lead-ing the national consensus government if our party gets chance to lead.

Sher Bahadur Deuba, Nepali Congress Leader

The seven-point pac t was the las t opt ion af ter exhaus t ing all other options for the Maoist. So they will not survive as a party if they don't follow this agreement or repeat the past mistakes.

KP Sharma Oli, UML Leader

Maoist 's real character was exposed after Bhattarai govern-ment decided to grant amnesty to the Maoist lawmaker Dhungel who was convicted of murdering Ujjan Shrestha of Okhaldhunga district.

MK Nepal, UML Leader

The expansion of present cabinet was a breach of the 7-point a g r e e m e n t s i g n e d a m o n g t h e m a j o r t h r e e p o l i t i c a l p a r t i e s .

Sushil Koirala, President Nepali Congress

T h e p r e s e n t c a b i n e t s h o u l d s t e p d o w n b e f o r e N o v 3 0 a s pe r t he p rev ious ag reemen t be tween the pa r t i e s . I am l ead -ing the government as I am the parliamentary party-leader of the NC.

Ram Chandra Poudel, Nepali Congress Leader

Dahal assured to transfer the government leadership after Nov 30 to the NC during various discussions prior to the signing of the 7-point agreement.

Dr Shashank Koirala, Nepali Congress Leader

The peace process and the constitution drafting process will end by six month and the legislature body will be elected within another six months.

Nilambar Acharya , Chairman of the Constitutional Committee

The objection of the hardliner faction led by vice chairman Mohan Baidya as an "opportunistic step"on the 7-point deal signed among the major three political parties would not harm its implementation.

Pushpa Kamal Dahal Prachanda, Maoist Party Chief

During the Maoist insurgen-cy a civilian Mr Ujjan Kumar Shrestha was murdered by gun shot in Tarkebaari, Okhald-

hunga on 2055 Asar 10 (26 June 1998). In his ab-sence, the District High Court of Okhaldhunga found Balkrishna Dhungel guilty and slapped him with life imprisonment for unlawful killing on 2061 Baishakh 28 (2004 May 14) in which the conviction was re-� �� Poush 19 (2010 January 5). Balkrishna Dhungel, who is a Maoist activist, was at large since the kill-ing. He became the lawmaker by winning the Con-stituent Assembly election from Okhaldhunga. He is still at large and police is looking for his arrest on the murder case.

Dr Bhattarai’s coalition government came into � !�� !�� supporter the Madhesi Morcha parties. The Maoist party and Dr Bhattarai agreed to provide amnesty to all the political activists of Morcha from various criminal charges. Similarly, they had included the Balkrishna case also in pretext that the murdering of Ujjan Shrestha was the Maoists’ decision for his spy-ing and misconduct and hence Balkrishna was not personally involved. The decision was made by the Cabinet meeting to forward to the President for using his special power of pardon from the life sentence provided to Balkrishna by the Supreme Court. Maoist leader Pushpa Kamal Dahal has claimed that the decision to recommend murder-convict Maoist lawmaker Balkrishna Dhungel for a presidential par-don was actually taken during the previous Madhav Kumar Nepal-led UML government and that the cur-rent government led by his party only implemented the decision as per the spirit of the Comprehensive Peace Accord. Similarly, PM Bhattarai said that

the incident took place during the insurgency era and #��$�� %�� &�� -�� *��&�� !��be spared in this country if we start punishing people for each and every incident that took place during the war. There will be another war if we take revenge over every single case.+�� !�� !�� /� �� murdered Ujjan Kumar Shrestha, at the Supreme Court against the government’s controversial decision to re-quest the President to grant clemency to the Maoist lawmaker Balkrishna Dhungel, who was convicted by Okhaldhunga district court in 2004 of murdering Ujjan Kumar Shrestha. A single bench of SC judge Tahil Ali Ansari issued an interim order to the government not to implement its’ decision that has drawn national and international condemnation.

The President, initiated a one to one meeting with PM Bhattarai and requested him to rethink his decision. But the PM was adamant on the cabinet’s recommendation and requested the President to give way to the submitted problem under Article 151. Article 151 of the Interim Constitution states that the President, on the recommen-dation of the council of ministers, may grant pardon to a convict and suspend, commute or reduce any sentence imposed by a court, special court, military court or by any other judicial or quasi-judicial or administrative au-thority or institution. The political observers and legal experts are worried about the dual nature action of the Maoist Party and its PM Dr Bhattarai. It was only last month that, Dr Bhat-tarai relieved Minister Prabhu Shah of his duties who is currently under investigation after being accused of involvement in the murder. PM Bhattarai and his Party are trying to interfere with the independency of the na-tional judicial system through the special power of the President. Once this action is carried out the President will be weak for ever.

The Judicial System should be Independent in Republic Nepal

"The political observers and legal experts are worried about the dual nature action of the Maoist Party and its PM Dr Bhattarai. "

Maoist Combatants to Integrate Into Nepal ArmyA historical consensus on the Peace Deal has been made by major politi-cal parties in Nepal to integrate 6,500 former Maoist combatants known as People's Liberation Army (PLA) into the Nepal Army on an individual basis. UCPN (Maoist) chairman Pushpa Kamal Dahal, Nepali Congress president Sushil Koirala, UML chairman Jhala Nath Khanal and Bijay Gachchhadar, as representative of the Madhesi Front, signed the agree-ment. Apart from the top leaders, Prime Minister Baburam Bhattarai and senior leaders of the three parties were also involved in the negotiations.

The leaders had held several rounds of bilateral and multi-lateral talks �� &�+��_� �̂� ��!�� option to opt out of the integration, receive rehabilitation and enter a civil career. They will be offered up to Rs. 900,000 as compensation depending on their rank and the type of package they choose, should they wish to opt out.

The combatants choosing to integrate will be inducted as an independent division under the Nepal Army to look after industrial and forest security, development projects and rescue works during disasters. The PLA com-batants will be 35% of the division and remaining 65% of the workforce will come from different security agencies.As the completion date is nearing the People's Liberation Army (PLA) combatants loyal to Maoist vice chairman Mohan Baidya have agreed to allow the regrouping process to go smoothly at Dahaban cantonment site in the Rolpa district.The Baidya loyalists were complaining that the in-tegration is being done unfairly and were warning not to take part in the regrouping process. Along with them, some combatants with physical dis-abilities have also expressed dissatisfaction over the packages offered by the government.The completion date for the integration has been set as 23 November 2011.

The Britain Nepal Chamber of Commerce and its partners, Gateway Asia and UKTI, are still assessing the trade delega-tion to Nepal and the follow up work that will be needed to build on its success. I may revert to that in later articles, but I want here to focus on develop-ments in Nepal.

The trade delegation was undertaken in the hope that a new chapter might be opening which would bring new op-portunities for trade and investment and for Nepal’s ‘catch ��%�� &�E !��!�� !��now the prospects for the peace process and a new federal constitution?

It is of course still early days for the new government. Dr Baburam Bhatterai was only sworn in as Prime Minister at the end of August and Cabinet formation was delayed by internal tensions in the UCPN (Maoist) party, which have re-sulted in the non inclusion of the Baidhya hard liners. There were other delays caused by the Prime Minister’s visits to the UN and to India, trips by other leaders and by the long established gulf of distrust between the major parties. It be-gan to look impossible for real progress on the central issues of the ex-combatants and the constitution before the expiry of the Constitutional Assembly on 31 November. Then came the breakthrough of the 7 point deal at the beginning of that month. All the parties at last made concessions. This has opened the way to quick progress, although a further exten-sion of the Constitutional Assembly may still be needed for completion.

The 19,000 ex-combatants have the choice between cash payments or entry into a new non-combat Special Direc-torate under the Nepal Army. An Experts Panel will make recommendations on state restructuring to help resolve dif-ferences regarding the number and nature of federal units. The Madhesi parties have drawn back from the demand for a single Madhes province.


If these central issues can now be cleared, the way will at last be open for more consen-sual government able to focus on the pressing needs of the people for better law and order, better labour relations, better power supplies and constructive investment for development. Meanwhile, some advances have already been made. The Prime Minister’s visit to India has greatly improved relations and, with the Bilateral Investment Promotion and Protec-� �̂ �� of $250m, has opened the way to a dynamic �!�� &��%��other giant neighbour, China, has sent a high level delegation to Kathmandu and extended an invitation to Beijing, The IMF is reopening �� &�+�� ! �$��with the FNCCI and other chambers to identify investment projects and to facilitate them by improved laws and bureaucracy.

Much can of course still go wrong. Yet my strong impression is that most politicians of all parties have at last realised that the people have lost patience with endless political ma-noeuvrings and constant deadlock. These have to give way to compromise and progress. A return to civil war is unthinkable. Politics and political wrangling will continue. That is part of an open, democratic society. But the way should indeed now be open for a new chapter of development and progress. The BNCC in-tends to be a constructive part of that progress.

After years of wrangling, civil war and the deposition of the mon-�� at a crossroads following the recent peace agreement which is still yet to ��&�Y��$�� -munism when many countries where forced to look east to the remnants of the Soviet Union, or to the capitalist west (both for economic and military security by joining organisations such as NATO or the Russian Federation), so Nepal finds itself looking geographi-cally in the opposite directions of north to-wards China, or south towards India as both emerge as economic and military powers.

Historically it has more in common culturally and religiously with India. However with a 'wall' still between the two as the president of India maintains that Nepal remains an exporter of 'ter-rorism', namely the Maoists insurgen-cy which continues in parts of north-east India issue therefore remain.

Nepal similarly sees the economic �� -omy yet hindered by its repressive regime as seen in Tibet and therefore �� !��the two new emerging super powers in the region. Both China and India �� V��>�as the biggest growing economies

in the world whilst the only other globally from the report is Brazil.

Therefore does Nepal look towards its geographical, cultural and reli-gious roots (Hinduism and Buddhism and the inpass of the Himalayas) or the economic growth that China has achieved but without the freedoms accorded to its citizens in favour of 'chasing the dollar' for growth. This �� Nepal. Bhutan which for many years

has opposed both aspects and outside �*�� Z��-ine itself as opposed to insular navel gazing having for many years opposed ��*�� and even the smoking of tobacco.

However Nepal is in a unique position in that it has a natural beau-ty and is a destination that many travellers who's wish to visit is only inhibited by the lack of di-�� *�� &

The question remains though as to whether it wishes to remain and more importantly retain its identity as India and China look on as a cheap options for investment, manpower and

natural resources be it infrastructure projects or tourism, both of which will undoubtedly change the dynamics and cultural identity of the country.

This could explain in part the con-tracted negotiations between the main � �� a direction for the nation following the �� -ment on the makeup of its constitution and assembly. Finally although its long term relationship and tradition with the

UK historically via the supply of Ghur-kha soldiers as part of the British army one can only sur-mise that both Chi-na and India would surely oppose this

in the long term future of the country.Bhutan as a neighbour is famous

for measuring the happiness of its citizens not by economic wealth but by contentment. Both India and China are running head long into measuring this through the route of capitalism and the desire for consumerables. +�� -tion within itself as to its future, not based on purely on religious harmony within the Hindu cast system and its minority religions or even the OECD rating of 'happiness' in terms of GDP but what sort of society is best for all its people and as a country.

INTERVIEW

The Pride of Nepal in UK for you

K a t h m a n d u B e e r Tel: 02085613693 Fax: 02085732163 Mobile: 07956877740


Q.1 Tell us what your motivation was to become NRN UK President ?

I have always been involved in various social and charitable organisation since my student life. In recent years I have been an executive member and vice presi-dent of NRN UK. With such experience I wanted to continue my involvement with NRN UK.

Q.2 How do you feel about the people in your present team? I am very happy to have the people at my pre-sent team. Everyone is enthusiastic to do some-thing.

Q.3 Have you and your team set objectives to be achieved by NRNA UK? We have called a NRN UK meeting on 8th January 2012 to set out the detailed objectives of NRN UK 2011-2013, listening to all the committee members we will come out with the objectives, but again the main objective is to work for the betterment of Nepalese Di-aspora with our best effort.

Q.4 The election shows that NRNA UK have around 5,000 members only. In fact there are around 100,000 NRN in UK. What is your view on this? NRN UK is relatively young organisation, and we have a major agenda to increase our membership portfolio dur-ing 2011-2013.

Q.5 What are your views on Jiba Lamichhane being elected as NRNA Presi-dent?

He is the right person to lead NRNA with clear vision and leadership skills and truly motivated to something for NRN and I am very much sure his tenure will be a very successful one. Q.6 London is the birth

place of NRNA. Brussels is the hub of the EU and simi-larly is there a hub location for the NRNA? NRNA is a global organisation but the centre point is al-!��/�!�� ! ��!��/��!��Nepali, this attachment never lets us disconnected from Nepal. Q.7 Are you happy with latest Conference 2011 held in Nepal? Yes, absolutely but there is always room to improve.

Q.8 Were there any outstanding events / discussion at the latest conference that you would like to share?

There were many such discussions, "the dual citizenship, Collective investment in Nepal" are just a few to men-tion. Q.9 There are many costs associated with hosting NRNA conferences including travel, accommodation, venue and organisation. How are the NRNA Confer-ences funded ?

Organisation sponsors, Nepal Government Sponsorship, individual sponsor and subsidised NCC membership fee are the main source of funding.

Q.10 There was a controversial news published in Ne-pal during the latest NRNA Conference stating that the Nepal Government spent 30 lakh rupees for host-ing the Conference. Please comment on whether this statement is true or false and is there any further in-formation you would like to add to this subject? I am not in a position to comment about the exact cost for hosting the NRNA Conference. But one should bear in mind that it was a global conference and would associate obvious cost.

Q.11 There are many cases of NRN making capital and skill resource investments in foreign countries other than Nepal, what are your plans for the NRNA to attract this capital and skill resources to Nepal ?

Individual members and NRNA as a whole organisation are always willing to invest and share the skill they have in Nepal. In the past it was not possible as expected due to various reasons(the political instability, security con-cerns etc) but now the things are changing positively and I am sure we are going to see NRNA involvement in Ne-�� $��&

Q.12 What would you say to investors thinking of investing time and money in Nepal, is this the right time, is it secured and government guaranteed? I am very much positive in this issue. Situations have changed and this is the right time to invest in Nepal. After meeting the government authorities in Nepal we found them positive about facilitating the suitable envi-ronment for investment and tackling the security issues.

Q.13 FNCCI’s hope of joint venture business with NRN become thinner every year, do you agree?

FNCCI is very keen to have the joint venture with NRNS, and I share the same view.

Q.14 “Once Nepali is always Nepali” is a great slogan. Do you support the principal that NRN should have voting right for Nepali elections from their foreign residential country through the local Nepal Embassy? Yes, absolutely. This makes us to have regular ties with our motherland. Q.15 Maoist Minister Barshaman Pun has already re-fused in USA the NRN demand of Dual Citizenship. What do you see the views of other Nepali political parties? The leaders from different politial parties I met were all very much positive and supportive of this matter. This may be a personal view of Minister Pun.

Q.16 The Sagarmatha Times would like to congratu-late you on your election of NRN UK President and wish you Good Luck for successful term.

I also would like to thank Sagarmatha Times for letting me share my views. Wish Sagarmatha Times every suc-cess.

'Situations have changed and this is the right time to invest in Nepal.'

Joke of the DayOPINION


Will it be the biggest strike for 85 years on November 30?

We have two babies, very hungry and waiting to ��&�V��!��until it is fed by its mum. The other baby is impa-tient and cries and shouts lustily and screams and kicks around and makes everybody unpleasant until it catches everybody's attention and is fed. We now $ !�!�� &�+�� the whole story of politics. You have to make more noise than anybody else to get attention. You have to make yourself more obtrusive than anyone else. In fact you have to be there all the time and not let anyone snow you under. The scenario in the UK politics has been developing like the two babies.

I attended the closing rally of Jarrow March in London last weekend. The president of The National Shop Stewards Network (NSSN) Rob Williams addressed the Rally , he said - One year ago over 50,000 students marched through the streets of London. That march set off a mass movement of hundreds of thousands of young people against the rises in tuition fees and the abo-lition of the EMA allowance for college students.

Then we had the 26 March TUC mass dem-onstrations and the fantastic strike of 750,000 civil servants, teachers and lecturers on 30 June.

Now we're just days away from 30 November (N30), when up to three million public sector workers will be striking to defend their pensions.

He further says that, - This will be an over-whelmingly popular strike because all those who have suffered from these cuts want some-one to stand up for them. A Guardian poll found 77% of respondents thought public sec-tor workers were justified in going on strike.

The National Shop Stewards Network (NSSN) was initiated in 2006 by the transport union RMT but we were created for times like this. The NSSN will always give support and solidarity to workers in struggle.

We'll always bring together rank and file stew-ards and activists to learn from each other. But in times like this, we act as a lever on the official union structures and leaders to push them to act, popularising the idea of coordinated strike action.

Rob estimates that - NSSN have given out well �� ?��/�� *�� /� !�� ] �� public sector general strike on them. Isn't that what we've got on 30 November?"He also states that - We lobbied the TUC last year, calling for a national dem-onstration against the cuts, which we think played a part in getting the 26 March demo organised.

And on 11 September over 700 shop stewards came to our rally and then marched and lobbied the TUC, calling for a coordinated strike against the Con-Dems' attacks on pensions. The NSSN appeals to everyone to make sure that on N30 there's a dem-onstration in your town that reaches out to everyone who has suffered from this government's attacks.

We also need to involve workers in the private �� &�+�� electricians at 6.30am every Wednesday for the last three months show that a united front of all workers can be built against the government and the employ-ers.Mr Williams claims that - The Jarrow March for Jobs has re-tied the knot of history. Now we're writ-ing our own history with one of the biggest workers' marches this year and the biggest strike for 85 years on N30. We can succeed in the present by defeating the attacks on pensions and forcing this government out.

'On N30 there's a demonstration in your town that reaches out to everyone who has suffered from

this government's attacks.'

BP KOIRALA'S DIARY - Compiled by Ganesh Raj SharmaTuesday 26 April, 1977Sundarijal

�� try my case on camera. In the morning immediately after breakfast the Major came inside to inform me that as I had been arranged to be taken to the court the lunch would be served before 11AM. I was in the bathroom doing laundry work when the information was conveyed to me. I had very little time to arrange my things and thoughts.

But they came after 2PM, which I thought was time past for myself to be taken to the court + hence I was preparing to press my washed clothes. Ass. Anchala-dhish 1st came along with the Major + told me that his order of my detention under the Security Act had been withdrawn and asked me to certify the withdrawal. When I asked him for a written order of withdrawal, he said his verbal statement was enough. I signed the typed �� -tion had been served, its withdrawal order should also be in writing. But he wouldn't listen.

�� brought to the court (at Singha Durbar) in a police jeep escorted by another jeepload of armed police. My 1st outing in 4 months. The outside of the camp appeared to be a small fort with sinister looking tangle of barbed wires, which reminded me of … Camp of war prisoners (Italians). The jeep was wholly covered so that I couldn't see much �� !�� the jeep was being driven at 80km speed. They didn't take me through the main road which is the direct route-but adopted a circuitous route to avoid notice by the people.

Everything in the court seemed to be improvised and hurriedly put up. The court is constituted of one judge, with �� "��"�� #��$ �� also and anxious to be judicially fair. On the whole a good normal person, but lacks personality + may not be legally clever-and softspoken, but may not be strong enough to withstand the pressure from the govt. When the court sat, at the very outset I told it that I was unable to particiapte in the legal proceed-ings as long as I didn't get the services of a lawyer. He promptly said that I would get all legal facilities provided by the constitution-and a man was immediately dispatched to fetch Ganeshrajji.

In the meantime I pleaded with the court that I should get all the normal facilities of an undertrial, including regular interviews with members of my family + also pleaded for the permission to them to attend this court. As regards interviews he said that he sould see what he could do about it afterwards, but as far as their attendance in the court was concerned the special court by govt order had to hold its sessions in secret, so outsiders wouldn't be permitted according to the very order of the constitution of the court. On this my argument was that family members were not outsiders and the secret session was not meant to be a session in purdah. The intention was to avoid press and the public. I further �� "�� interpret the order of the govt in such a liberal manner as per my interpretation of the order. The judge said nothing clearly on this point.

As we were waiting the arrival of my lawyer the judge went to his chamber, permitting some kind of recess. In the meantime Ganeshrajji came. He told me that he had moved the Supreme Court for habeus corpus on my behalf starting that I was in military detention, that I was being interrogated by the police on charges that had already �� %�� &��was expecting Supreme Court's ruling on this writ application today itself. He also told me that foreign legal experts, including Palkiwala, were interested in my case + might attend the court as observers.

All this had an effect: because when I was brought back to the detention camp the Major told me that he had just received order to hand over the camp to the police and that the police party was expected any moment to take charge of me. The sudden withdrawal of detention order under Security Act, the withdrawal of the army as my jailer, my presentation to the court - all were suddenly decided with a view of the writ petition and the realisation on the

Quantum Touch EnergyHealing By Nitima Shrestha

BSc, Dip Hypno & Psychotherapy, EFT, QT & Psych-k Practitioner www.acceptancetherapy.co.uk

You may have come across many forms of energy healing. In this day and age, there are varieties of alterna-tive healing courses available. Some of the common ener-gy healings are Crystal, Water, Reiki and the list goes on.

+�� E��!��Nepal. My Buddhist Master Mahayogi Shridhar Rana Rinpoche was delivering healing workshop where I discovered that everybody is capable of healing oneself and others. There were detailed teachings and I brought some with me to London. I practised this on daily basis and helped a number of people. However you must be �� Z��in UK. This practice is known as Quantum Touch (QT) and so I completed practitioner level course in London.

QT is a method of healing all types of physical pain that works with the Life Force Energy also commonly known as 'Prana' in Sanskrit and 'Chi' in Chinese. It is ��* !� ��&�+��energy, chi or prana can be felt by everyone. We all as individuals perceive the same things in very different ways according to our past experiences and modalities. Similarly, individuals can sense, feel, hear, see or even taste these energies. We all have different qualities and experience things in different ways. Some may feel this energy in the form of hot and other may feel it cold.

The QT technique is about focusing on this energy

as a practitioner, amplifying and providing the space for your body for healing to take place. It is a very simple technique and requires the practitioner to practise on a daily basis. It is an effective method for reducing back pain, realigning structure, balancing organs, glands and systems, reducing muscle ache, healing injuries, healing burns and so much more. I have also come across many practitioners who integrate QT with other practices such as Cairo, acupuncture and even surgery.

I particularly like the simplicity of this technique and most of all the fact that the practitioner does not heal the patient. The patient heals her/himself. People in general have normal levels of energy on daily basis. You may have noticed yourself that when you are happy your en-��!�� low so is your energy level. Generally sick people have quite low levels of energy. As practitioners we only raise our energy using various methods to raise vibration to resonate with the patient's own. So as practitioners all we are doing is providing the space for healing to take

place. During healing it is important for the practitioner to know exactly what the patients are feeling. It is very common for a patient to feel pain before healing takes place and the patients must communicate this with the practitioner. Another important factor of this technique is love and compassion. Much scientific research has shown that the intention of love and compassion has made huge differences in the healing process.

From my personal experience over the years, I have come to understand that our attitude and beliefs play a huge part in our healing and wellbeing. How is it that there can be two cancer patients receiving exactly the same treatment where one survives and the other does not? I have worked with a number of patients with serious illness including Cancer. The difference lies in their attitude and belief of their cur-rent situation regardless of the type of healing method.

QT is said to work on anyone regardless of their belief about the technique. This is true, however I have realised that people with an 'I really want to heal' at-titude really do heal, whereas people with negative attitudes may heal for the time being but often their symptoms resurface in another part of their body.

Now we need to go beyond just the physical heal-ing because - believe it or not - people who are sick all the time have secondary gain which then requires psychological treatment. As I have mentioned in my first article 'The path of Healing', when one's mind is well, the physical body will naturally follow.

Nowadays, we do not have time for ourselves. Most of us measure success in terms of our career, a big house and expensive cars. Look within and see if you are suc-cessful in terms of your mental and emotional health. You must be thinking what has this to do with energy healing. The answer is absolutely EVERYTHING, not only energy healing but your whole life. If you are not well mentally can you honestly enjoy the wealth you have? Can you honestly afford to spend quality time with your family? Look within now and check where you stand mentally and emotionally. I am sure most of you ! �� $ !�� !� ��&�� $�� /�� /�headache, asthma, rashes and allergies: they are scream-ing out to you to pay attention to them because there are un-dealt emotions underlying this physical pain. You will �� Z��&

I was packing lunch for the kids the other day and looking at the lunch box it made me won-der about the food we consume these days. If I give them an op-tion it is always going to be piz-za or macaroni and cheese. We are bombarded with all kinds of food, mostly targeting our taste rather than the nutritional value. Take TV for example, every sec-ond advertisement is about food. Not healthy food but foods like piz-za, burgers, choco-late, beer, chewing gum and so on. The supermarket is not much help either. You get aisles and aisles of fancy food, mostly processed, with high salt and sugar con-tent and a whole bunch of weird sounding chemicals. Is it all good for us? Does our body need that? I thought I’d share with you some back to basics on food.

We often hear that we are what we eat, hence it is very important to know the type of food we are eating and it’s effect in the body. Food is said to be a form of cel-ebration, a sense of enjoyment so when eating we should eat in a mood of happiness and peace. In Ayurveda (knowledge of life), an ancient Vedic science, it is said that food is not just what you eat but everything absorbed �� (food, water), Nose (breath), Ear (chanting, soothing music), Skin (sunlight), Eyes (nature).

When we consume food in right proportion it gives us good health and energy, when con-sumed in inadequate amounts it increases toxins that are harmful.

Ayurveda further describes how we are individually made up of different elements or do-shas. This probably explains that even when we share the same dish in the family it has different effect in each person.

Essentially Ayurveda is a science that focuses on staying healthy, showing care for what we eat with a knowl-edge of the effect food has on the body and mind. The general rule is to eat in moderation and consume simple, pure, healthy food. A proper diet is consid-ered vital for spiritual development.

This ancient science is complete in it-self. If we try and balance the food we eat we can see results for ourselves i.e.

increased energy level, more alert and in general a good feeling. According to Ayurveda, the food is divided into three categories, Sattvic, Rajasic and Tamasic. These different groups have different effects on the body and mind.

Sattvic food is said to help in clari-fying the mind and as a result give calm and balanced outlook. The food groups that are considered sattvic in-cludes fresh fruits and vegetables (ex-cept garlic, onion, mushroom), milk, dry fruits, freshly prepared food us-ing fresh ingredients with mild spices.

Rajasic food tends to generate heat in the body thus providing energy and ac-tion. It increases modes of passion. This � �� /� ��/� ��/�garlic, and onion. Rajasic dishes tend to have spicy, salty, sour or pungent taste.

Tamasic food is considered to increase inertia and resistance of mind. It increas-es modes of ignorance. This food group includes mushrooms, intoxicants e.g. drugs, alcohols, stimulants such as tea,

coffee, chocolates. In general, foods that are stale, old, overripe or spoiled.

In Hinduism, it is believed that for true spiritual progress, purity of food is necessary. This helps to maintain the desirable state of mind that leads to enlightenment since food is consumed not only to survive but to stay healthy and maintain mind/body equilibrium.

By eating a purer qual-ity of food, such as a Sattvic diet, and regu-lating food consump-tion, one can ensure a

pure heart, long life, cheerful spirit, strength, health, happiness and de-light. The latter part of that last sen-tence sounds very good indeed. But it ��

I am sure we all have, at one point or another, probably after watching a health show or reading something on a magazine or maybe even after a doctor’s visit, have promised to eat healthy. And I am sure we maintained that for a few weeks at the max.

Then a slip here and a slip there and before you know it you are back to consuming weird named chemi-cals for the taste sake. Think back to the last meal you ate. Was it more Sattvic, Rajasic or Tamasic?

You don’t have to go back up and �� !�� mean, just asking if your last meal was a healthy one. Somebody once told me “eat like your life ��

What’s on your plate?by Mala, Chicago, USA

“eat like your life depends on it…because it does”

It is just a 10 minute walk away from Hounslow Central station and has accessible parking mak-ing it a suitably located place to eat at. The lanterns hanging from the ceiling enhance the charm of the atmosphere and the booths create a comfortable and homely welcoming.

There is nothing closer to home than the food itself. The specialty menu consists of dishes that have a personal connection to the owners who are in partnership and also have a sister restaurant �� X��&

The more traditional menu is catered for the Nepali community and for those who have visited Nepal and are familiar with the dishes but it can cater for customers who would like an authentic Nepalese experience in taste.

The Chatpate Dharan Bata consists of the popular wai wai dry noodles mixed with the unique Ma-ma’s spices. This dish instantly captures memories of being in Nepal. The Momo cha Kathmandu $ �� ?��!��&�

The vegetarian Momo Newroad ko is distinctly presented as it is immersed in Mama’s rich hot tomato sauce giving it a sweet and unique taste. The Khukuri beer complimented this dish very well. The dish takes you back to the hotspot of Kathmandu and brings the street food of New Road to your dining table. The aptly named Mugling ko Khana consists of dal bhat takari and creates a feeling of nostalgia for those that have been to the well-known stopover point Mugling which connects Kathmandu to Pokhara and other destinations.

+�� !��its generous space, it has the potential to host private functions and can also do outside catering.

Mixed with its delicious traditional food and con-temporary atmosphere, Mama’s has the recipe for success.
