TAX EVASION
Kathmandu Post (20 April,2012)

THE article shows the grim picture of the state’s failure to collect the VAT tax timely and it can be attributed to the corrupt leaders and government employees (“Tax compliance costs high in Nepal, “April 17,Money A). The situation wouldn’t have been this complicated had the people in the government worked honestly to begin with. Giving the businessmen the opportunities to self declare their incomes and expenses would never work. We can’t expect the accounts shown by the businesses to reflect reality. The chances that they would under report sales and inflate expenses are highly likely. Increasing the rate of VAT from the previous 10 percent to the current 13 percent is not sufficient to increase national levels of VAT collection. Firm determination and political will are equally required. All of this has only further entrenched public opinion that corruption has reached new heights.

Fatabulous why this Kolavari Di in Doteli.

I came across this beautiful number:why this kolavari Di in Doteli, the language widely spoken in the Far western region of Nepal. Why This Kolaveri Di (Voy Tis Kolaveṟi Ṭi), meaning:Why This Murderous Rage, Girl?, the original version of the song is composed by Anirudh Ravichander and sung by  Dhanush, from the upcoming Tamil movie due to be released. The song is very well experimented by Tara Prasad Bhatta, who is originally from Dhangadhi, and is now studying Genetics, Genomics and Systems Biology at University of Chicago,United States. As I knew him personally, I consider him multifaceted and he has proved that very well.

While choosing lyrics for his version, he has taken resort to the popular doteli song  "Laija Budi" by Bhoj Raj Bhatta, one of the popular artists from the Far West. He does have a very well vocal and the words of the song "Laija Budi" are  well fitted in his version of why this kolavari Di as if the lyrics were originally written for being sung in that tune. The response to this attempt on youtube is overwhelming with already being viewed by 5,018 audiences till date. Hope he will be turning into a household name in the music and will come up with something original of his own in the days. Thumbs up Tara. We look forward to seeing something original next time as you can do it too on your own music and lyrics.

Also hear the original Laija Budi by Bhoj  Raj Bhatta. Lets now compare these two, as both are differences are abound :) :)
