कुनै पनि अक्षर चिन्न र लेख्न नसक्ने राउटेहरुले राउटे उत्थान प्रतिष्ठानले तयार गरेको तीन बुँदे ध्यानाकर्षणपत्र संविधानसभाका अध्यक्ष सुवास नेम्बाङलाई पठाएका छन् । सो पत्र राउटेका मुखिया मैनबहादुर शाहीले इलाका प्रशासन कार्यालयका प्रमुख यज्ञबहादुर बुढालाई बुझाएका थिए ।

By the times these lines are read, Nepal’s cricket skipper Paras Khadka would be acclimatizing in Canada, playing for Ontario Cricket Academy & Club, becoming the first Nepali signing for the Club.
Canada may not inspire awe as far cricket is concerned, at least not like the Test playing countries. But we cannot forget that this country has already played a World Cup, and has cricket history dating back to 1844, when it played first ever international cricket fixture, against USA.
As we rejoice the selection of Nepali player for his achievement, we also need to understand why he is where he is. Whether you meet him during the match or in a café, you notice the emphasis he puts on the lines ‘leading from the front’. With him it becomes a cliché. Talk to him for an hour and you realize he’s used the line at least 10 times, or maybe 20, perhaps even without realizing. If you look at his performance, you realize that the words are not mere a part of a rhetoric, but conviction. Conviction has a strange way of manifesting itself, through performance, through attitude and sometimes also through words.
Opinions could be divided on whether Paras Khadka is the best ever cricket captain for Nepal. His supporters may say he is, for being the first captain to have won ICC tournament for Nepal - ICC World Cricket League Division 5. His detractors may say, it is too early to pass judgment. After all, he is yet to celebrate his 25th birthday. And he’s been in charge of Nepali team for just around two and half years. But, there are some in cricket circles already talking about him as the best. That is his biggest success.
Leading from the front is visible when the lad goes into the cricket field, commandeering his teammates (some of whom are older than him). You can hear him on the field, egging other players, aggressively but not too loud. He bowls, both medium pace and spin, and often returns with impressive figures. When batting, more often than not, he leads from the front too, putting a price on his wicket. It is not without reason that ESPNcricinfo glorifies him, saying, “He is also a man for a pressure situation.”

Talks expected between the government and the agitating ethnic groups did not take place on Sunday due to the insistence of agitators to sit only with the prime minister. The Nepal Federation of Indigenous Nationalities (Nefin) has decided to give continuity to its announced protest programme.
The group has stated it will not stop the scheduled programme even while sitting in talks with the prime minister. Nefin chairman Rajkumar Lekhi said a dialogue is likely on Monday afternoon. “If everything goes well and a positive call comes from the prime minister, the ethnic groups are likely to sit for talks by Monday midday,” said Lekhi.
“I would like to make it clear that we are not stopping the ongoing programme at any cost. We will be engaged both in talks and demonstrations.”
The Janajati leaders said they were deceived earlier owing to their liberal move. They said they would not be fooled this time, nor would backtrack.
Meanwhile, following the refusal of the agitating ethnic groups to talk to anyone except the prime minister and leaders of top parties, the prime minister's office is preparing for a dialogue. “The matter is being discussed but the date is yet to be fixed,” a PMO source said.
Despite the PMO's affirmative gesture to the group's call, the talks were not scheduled as of 10pm.
Peace and Reconstruction Minister Top Bahadur Rayamajhi on Saturday urged Nefin to call off their ongoing strike and to come to the negotiating table.
