Need of modification in practice of worshipping
kathmandu,Nov.9
"The people offer Prasad of Rs.5 and make dirt of Rs.10 in the temple."said the priest Dan Man Kapali of Bishnudevi temple,Bhajangal.
The people have the conservative idea about worshipping the God that they get pleased only after they are fed,put tika,rice grains.One of the worshipper,Sandesh Mali said,"This conservative way of worshipping is ridiculous.We can please God even remembering them by our hearts."
The priest Kapali was seen sweeping the incences boxes,plastics and other degredable wastes. He said "If worshippers would have been conscious enough about such pollution, there would have been no need of a sweeper here."
"Such pollution greatly hampers the cultural heritages included in world heritage list."Ram Bahadur Giri said.He further said"The best way to solve this problem might be following the worshipping pattern followed by ISCON and other temples in India."
Supporting this issue,another worshipper Renu Karki said"We know our traditional way of worshipping is not appropriate but we can't help it and we only have eternal satisfaction worshipping like that with sacrifices,putting tika,incences,sweets etc."
A student Ritu Khadka said "We people, who are aware about such bad aspects of worshipping must change ourselves though we can't remove this habit immediately."

Private Colleges, First choice of students
Kathmandu,Nov10:
The private colleges are leading ahead towards popularity due to their basic priority for education as well as practical knowledge.
"There is a rapid increment in number of colleges these days even though there is no decrease in the standard of education due to competition in between colleges."said the vice principal of Kathmandu Model College Manoj Kumar Thapa.Unlike the government colleges the private colleges give more priority to the studies than extra curricular activities due to which the students get benifited in their personality development.
Dilman Maharjan, a higher secondary teacher stated, "The students of higher secondary who recently stepped out of their school want a free environment due to which they may degrade from their standard but most of the private colleges are well aware about this psychology of students and give a very good environment for its students.Thus the students of these colleges are disciplined and hard working."
According to the vice principal Thapa,"The students outside valley were more laborious but now the students inside the valley also are in competition with those of outside in the matter of studies."He further added "The students out of the valley are more interested in communication media like internet.The male students are more in number but they are less disciplined than the female students."
