Graduated Again

I decided to do additional master degree last year in research area. Finally, I finished and awarded Master in Reserach (MRes) in Electronic, Electric and Computing Engineering. Despite loss of my father´s sad memory I went to graduation ceromony. It was great to be graduating line-up with mixed feeling. I wish my father was there to witnessed the ceromony but my kids and wife were there to celebrate with me. This one year had been really tedious and very hectic. After all yes I finished. Thank you parents, wife, kids and beloved sisters - you all have been great supporters.

After father died

I have been quite for some time. First due to my father serious illness and second he passed a way. I would like to thank you all of my beloved friends, families and well wishers for the messages.

Residing millions miles away from your parents it is always very difficult when doing many trips in few moths. At the last time of my father, we could do nothing except watching him dying. Cancer is such a disease which you can only watch and be helpless when people are in chronic pain. Well, we did whatever we can and be there from him of his last moment. He is gone now and memory only remains in my head.

There are so many cultural differences between west and Nepal, many of them I still argu and do not thing is right. Well, these are just my opinion. Now, I try not to remember his last moment of his painful time rather remember good time with him. I am now back to Iceland with his all kinds of memories and reunited with my family. I truly hope his soul rest in peace. Well, this is called "life".

Band /Strike and chakka Jam

I made a phone call to my father this morning to check if his checkup has been done this week. But my mother and rest of the family were very frustrated due to Nepal Banda. My father is suffering from lung cancer and been in treatment with Chemotherapy. He has to do blood test and regular check up every now and then. Kathmandu is completely shut down because Maoist wanted to be in government. They have been trying to get someone at home to take the blood sample and it is beyond the scope to reach at my place. There are no transports allowed.

It is very sad indeed. I am only thinking about my father but how about tons of people like my father who needs such care, treatment and regular checkups? It has been very frustrating, disappointing and being helpless although living in capital city. Politicians are only interested in power not public life.

Bye-Bye Asics

Almost eight Years ago I bought a running shoes to do London Marathon and had very difficulties choosing the right brand. Eventually I end up with Asics. I paid 60 pounds at the time which was very expensive at the time. But it was all worth it. I have done several marathons, 10ks, 20ks, jugging, playing bandy and football with this shoes. And yesterday finally I decided to retire this "very special" shoe from my feet. First it is completely damage in everyplace, not helping at all for feet and secondly I hurt my ankle severely due to lack of support grip in the it . I would certainly recommend people to buy "Asics" trainer for indoor and outdoor sports. Thank you “Asics” for your long support, and good bye. Sorry I had to throw you in my trash bin :)

Home made Pizza

Normally I do not prefer pizza for either dinner or lunch but I have tried last weekend to try it out at home. It is not that I hate eating pizza - just me not interested in pizza at all. If I ask my family what you would like to eat for launch or dinner ? there answer would without anything else but "Pizza". I found it was good fun making pizza at home and think it is much healthier than dominoz. So, do I love Pizza now ? yes the one I made!!!

My Bandý Group in Iceland

Iceland in Headlines in the world

I knew Iceland only after I meet my wife ten years ago. Not surprisingly many people around the world have very little knowledge about Iceland. While I was in England few years ago many were very surprised when my wife is from Iceland. But this has been changed recently mainly from different way. First from banking crisis in late 2008 which had effected Iceland economy severely. Another one was decision taken by British prime minister Gordon Brown to apply terrorist law against Iceland due to Icelandic banking crisis. Secondly, Volcano eruption in Iceland recently which has effected entire European Airspace. Most of the major airport in Europe has been shut down due to this eruption.

I wonder the effect of two very big well known volcano "Hekla" and "Katla" start to erupt. Because of those two event Iceland became the center in world news. Banking crises (especially terrorist law against Iceland) made heading in the news perhaps not a good way however volcanic eruption has made Iceland focal news in world stage is somehow a good way - i guess. Now, probably people know where "Iceland" is located.
