The Indian Border Security Force (IBSF) last week encroached on Nepali lands and committed atrocities along the border areas of western district of Dang. These actions resulted in the displacement of more than 6000 people from their home villages. Cases of alleged rapes and disappearance have also been reported.  What lies behind this attack on Nepali sovereignty? In 1816 Nepal was forced to sign a treaty called The Sugauli Treaty (also known as the Anglo-Nepal Treaty) by the victorious British colonial power.  Due to the unequal terms of this treaty, Nepal lost about one third of its territory to the British Raj. The "Brown Sahibs" inherited the Raj in 1947, and since that time have grabbed Nepali lands at their will, violating not only the UN Charter but also even the 1950 Treaty of Peace and Friendship 1950, a treaty which heavily favours Indian domination in Nepal in the first place. Time and again, the IBSF has encroached Nepali territory and
committed atrocities all along three sides of Nepali border: from Jhapa in the east all the way to Darchula in the west, where they even have set up a permanent military base. The same pattern -- border encroachment, forceful displacement of Nepali villagers, shifting of border markers -- into the encroached Nepali land in Susta and Maheshpur in the south, and now in the border villages of Dang, lays bare the expansionist policy of Indian rulers. India has already encroached about 59,970 hectares of Nepali territory at 54 points in 21 districts. But if the areas affected by the unilateral activities of our southern neighbor such as construction of dams and irrigation projects are considered as encroachment, the number increases to 85 points. All these cases are well documented. This latest encroachment is part of that same policy of Indian expansionism. Interestingly, this blatant attack on the national sovereignty of Nepal took place soon after Madhav
Kumar Nepal, a loser from two constituencies in last year's Constituent Assembly (CA) elections, was declared the prime minister of Nepal. It is no surprise that his government has been silent on these attacks: it is an India-installed puppet government formed from an unethical alliance between regressive forces and those unwilling to challenge the status quo. The newly installed foreign minister, Sujata Koirala – another loser in the democratic CA election – went so far as to claim that there is no issue of land encroachment. Her words parroted the press release of the Indian Embassy in Kathmandu, issued on the same day, that categorically denied any encroachments, calling the concerns of patriotic Nepalis mere fabricated rumors.  Shame!

Body Hair Removal Tips

*Body Hair Removal Tips*

If you desire to have a smooth, hairless skin all over your body without any pain and harm to you the following hair removal means will be of great interest for you.

*Plucking*

This technique works with the help of tweezers. A specialist stretches the skin, grips the hair close to the root, pulling it out. The effect is achieved for 3 to 8 weeks. One of its advantages is its low cost. Hair growth will stop within one to four months. Thus you achieve soft and smooth skin.

However this hair removal method has its minuses. Firstly it requires much time; only one hair is pulled out for one time. Secondly, it may pain. That is why it is better to use plucking only on small areas, for instance eyebrows, upper lip, and chin areas. In addition this techniques results temporary red bumps.

*Depilatory Cream and Lotion*

Depilatory creams and special lotions remove hair from the surface of the skin. The effect is achieved for several days to 2 weeks The advantages of this treatment are as follows. You may apply it by yourself in home conditions. It is quick to do and quite cheap. It is better to use depilatories on the leg, underarm, and bikini areas. Special depilatory creams may be also used on the face and chin. The minuses of this technique are as follows. Some people dislike the smell. You may get an allergy due to chemical component included in the cream. As a result you may suffer from a rash or inflammation

*Waxing*

Here your spread a sticky wax on the area of unwanted hair. Then you cover this waxed area with a cloth strip rip it off in no time. Thus, you manage to take the hair root along with dead skin cells. Waxing can be made either at a salon or at home. The effect is achieved for 3 to 6 weeks Its advantages are the following. This treatment makes the waxed area smooth. The hair growth after this method looks lighter and it is not as

noticeable as it is does after other treatments. One of the minuses is the pain that a person feels once the undesired hair is ripped off. In addition, this treatment may cause temporary redness, inflammation, and bumps. If you use the service of a salon it will be not so cheap. Note, diabetics cannot apply this method of hair removal due to their susceptibility to infection. In addition it is not for teenagers who have skin irritation from sunburn would.

*Laser Hair Removal*

The laser hair removal gives good results if applied for people with light skin and dark hair. The effect is achieved for about 6 months. A big advantage of this technique is that is long lasting. In addition, at the same time it can be applied to large areas of skin.

The big disadvantage is in its high cost (one treatment procedure may cost $500 or even more). This expensive method of hair removal may also result inflammation and redness.

*Prescription Treatments*

One of the effective prescription treatments is a facial cream called 'Eflornithine'. It should be applied two times per day until the hair becomes softer and lighter. This treatment may also cause skin irritation and acne.

HOW TO Stop Body Odor Naturally

HOW TO Stop Body Odor Naturally... 

Millions of people suffer from embarrassing body odor. Fortunately, you don't need to spend a lot to solve the problem. Natural, 'green', cheap baking soda can solve your personal odor issue!

Instructions 

Step 1 - DEODORANT

If your deodorant isn't able to stop body odor effectively for you, you don't have to buy a more expensive brand. Simply apply a slightly heavier coat of deodorant than normal. Then, apply baking soda on top of that layer, like you were applying baby powder. Be careful not to inhale baking soda. It's not toxic, but any lung contaminate can result in respiratory problems. 

Step 2 - BAD BREATH

Try adding baking soda to your toothpaste, or purchase a toothpaste with baking soda as an ingredient. You can also mix half a teaspoon of baking soda with your mouthwash and use it to swish and gargle. 

Step 3 - HAIR

Your hair traps odors and oils produced by your scalp. In fact, more body heat is released through your head than through any other part of your body. These oils not only look bad, but carry an unpleasant odor too. 

Try adding a touch of baking powder to your grooming routine. In the shower, after washing and conditioning, mix a small amount of baking soda (2 tbs approximately) with enough water to create a paste. Apply this paste to your hair and massage in thoroughly. Allow to sit for 3 minutes, then rinse. Your hair may feel slick even after rinsing. This is because a small amount of baking soda will cling to your hair, helping to absorb odors throughout your day.

***NOTE*** If you are in a situation where showering is not an option, baking soda can be applied directly to your hair and combed through for a similar effect. Do not mix the baking soda with any water. Again, be careful not to inhale baking soda. 

Step 4 - SHOES

You are probably aware that baking soda is a common additive to innersoles and other shoe inserts. However, you don't need to purchase the insert to have the same odor fighting effects.

Pour enough baking soda into your shoes to coat the inner sides. Spread the baking soda on all inner sides of the shoe as though you were coating a baking pan with flour. Allow soda several hours to absorb odors. Then, turn shoe upside down over a trash bin and pat with your hand to remove excess powder. Repeat as often as you need to keep up with foot odor. 

Step 5 - LAUNDRY

Adding baking soda to your laundry will help stop body odor. This method works best with natural fibers like cotton, denim blue jeans, linen. 

WASH METHOD ~ Wash clothes as normal with regular detergent, but add 1/4 cup baking soda to the wash.

DRYER METHOD ~ Wash clothes as usual. Moisten a clean washcloth, sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of baking soda. Add the washcloth to the load in your dryer. Dry as usual. ***This method works best for ongoing prevention of body odor*** 

Step 6 - BATH

There are many benefits to adding soaking in a a baking soda bath. It will help relieve skin irritation, moisten your skin, relieve itch. It will also help fight odor.

Add 2 tablespoons of baking soda to a comfortably warm bath.

Step 7 - HAND ODOR

If you are one of many people who find that any odor your hands come in contact with is difficult to wash away, baking soda is the answer. Baking soda is highly effective in removing unpleasant smells like onion and garlic. Simply wet your hands, apply baking soda liberally, scrub, rinse. Odor is gone.

Tips & Warnings

- If skin irritation develops, discontinue use of baking soda.

- If you have existing skin conditions, consult your doctor before using baking soda in any of the methods described in this article.

- Do not expose eyes to baking soda.

- Do not inhale baking soda.

" I want to walk on rains, So no one can see my Tears "

( (¯`·._The Secret Of Happiness_.·´¯))

The old man shuffled slowly into the restaurant. With head tilted, and shoulders bent forward, he leaned on his trusty cane with each unhurried step.

His tattered cloth jacket, patched trousers, worn out shoes, and warm personality made him stand out from the usual Saturday morning breakfast crowd. Unforgettable were his pale blue eyes that sparkled like diamonds, large rosy cheeks, and thin lips held in a tight, steady smile.

He stopped, turned with his whole body, and winked at a little girl seated by the door. She flashed a big grin right back at him. A young waitress named Mary watched him shuffle toward a table by the window.

Mary ran over to him, and said, "Here, Sir. Let me give you a hand with that chair." Without saying a word, he smiled and nodded a thank you. She pulled the chair away from the table. Steadying him with one arm, she helped him move in front of the chair, and get comfortably seated. Then she scooted the table up close to him, and leaned his cane against the table where he could reach it.

In a soft, clear voice he said, "Thank you, Miss. And bless you for your kind gestures."
"You're welcome, Sir." She replied. "And my name is Mary. I'll be back in a moment, and if you need anything at all in the mean time, just wave at me!"

After he had finished a hearty meal of pancakes, bacon, and hot lemon tea, Mary brought him the change from his ticket. He left it lay. She helped him up from his chair, and out from behind the table. She handed him his cane, and walked with him to the front door.
Holding the door open for him, she said, "Come back and see us, Sir!"
He turned with his whole body, winked a smile, and nodded a thank you. "You are very kind." he said softly.

When Mary went to clean his table, she almost fainted. Under his plate she found a business card, and a note scribbled on a napkin. Under the napkin was a one hundred dollar bill. The note on the napkin read...
*"Dear Mary, I respect you very much, and you respect yourself too. It shows by the way you treat others. You have found the secret of happiness. Your kind gestures will shine through those who meet you." *
The man she had waited on was the owner of the restaurant where she worked. This was the first time that she, or any of his employees had ever seen him in person.
**
*Note: This story is based on actual events experienced by a friend from St. Paul, Minnesota. The note is the exact wording on the napkin that she has kept in her scrap book for fifteen years. When a friend forwarded The Secret of Happiness to me I actually felt Happy reading it. Now that you have it, its your turn to do a good deed. Forward it on to all your friends and spread the happiness around. Believe me, its really really
needed.
