The domestic dog (Canis lupus familiaris or Canis familiaris) is a domesticated canid which has been selectively bred for millennia for various behaviors, sensory capabilities, and physical attributes.The global dog population is estimated to between 700 million to over one billion, thus making the dog the most abundant member of order Carnivora.

Although initially thought to have originated as a manmade variant of an extant canid species (variously supposed as being the dhole, golden jackal, or gray wolf), extensive genetic studies undertaken during the 2010s indicate that dogs are descendants of a now extinct northern Eurasian canid which diverged from gray wolves 40,000 years ago.The dog was the first domesticated animal and although reputed to be "man's best friend" in the developed world, 17-24% of dogs in the developing world are feral, village, or community dogs, with actual pet dogs being uncommon

सरकार नपुग्ने ध्वस्त बस्तीमा ‘मनकारी आमा’

दुईपीपल (नुवाकोट) । काठमाण्डौंस्थित तिनथाना बस्ने शान्ता उप्रेती आफैँ पनि भूकम्पपीडित नागरिकको सूचिमा पर्छिन् । छिनभरमै उद्धार र राहत पुग्नुपर्ने राजधानीजस्तो देशको मुटुमासमेत निम्तिएको भयावह संकट हप्तौदिनसम्म उनले नजिकबाट नियालिरहिन् ।

भूकम्पको त्रासले आतंकित हजारौँ मान्छेका चित्कार, वेदना र आफन्त गुमाउनुपर्दाको वियोगमा छट्पट्टाइरहेकाहरु देखिन् र आफ्नै सामु पाइन, मनै छिया–छिया हुनेगरी निमेषभरमै धर्तीकै सुन्दर धरोहरहरु ढलेर ध्वस्त बनेको शहरको कुरुप दृक्ष्य पनि । अनि सोचिन, अनुमान् गरिन्–‘शहरमा त यस्तो छ । हविगत कस्तो होला, दुर्गम र दुरदराजका गाउँवस्तीहरुमा ?’ भूकम्पको आतंकले आफैँपनि खुला आकामुनि रात काट्न बाध्य शान्तालाई आफ्नै पिडा भन्दापनि दुर्गम पहाडी गाउँमा घरवारविहिन बनेकाहरुप्रतिको माया र भयानक चिन्ताले सतायो । अगाध दया पलायो र सहयोग गर्ने जागृत ईच्छा मनभित्रदेखि नै एकसाथ मडारिरह्यो । उनलाई त्यहाँ पुग्ने लालसा जाग्यो र त्यही मनकारी मनले डो¥यायो नुवाकोटको दुर्गम वस्तीतिर ।

पीडितलाई दिने राहतमा पनि राजनीति छ । टाठाबाठाको रजाइँ छ र गर्छ भेदभाव सरकारले पनि सुगम र दुर्गममा । यो तितो यथार्थ बुझेर उनले सरकार नपुगेको गाउँ रोजिन् । सरकारले नदेखेको वस्ती खोजिन् र भेटिन् भूकम्पले तहसनहस पारेको नुवाकोट दुईपीपलको पञ्चासे गाउँ । सदरमुकामबाट नजिकै छ यो वस्ती, र पनि पुग्दैन सरकार । उपेक्षित छ हरेकपटक । सरकारी उपस्थिति नहुँदा भूकम्पको भयले झनै प्रताडित छन्, संकटको यो बेलामा यहाँका नागरिक । यहाँका घरहरु कुनै सग्ला छैनन् न त अग्ला नै देखिन्छन् । सबै घर गल्र्यामगुर्लुम् ढलेर माटोमा मिलेका छन् । महिनौपछिसम्मका लागि जोहो गरेर राखिएका अन्नपातको गेडो पनि नभेटिने गरी भग्नावशेषभित्रै हराएका छन् । ‘तर, यहाँ भोट लिएर जित्ने नेता फर्केका थिए, न राहत नै आयो’, स्थानिय गुनासो पोख्छन् । शान्ताका छोरा दिपेन्द्र उप्रेती क्यानडामा बस्छन् । दूर्गमका भूकम्प पीडितलाई सहयोग गर्ने विषयमा छोरासँग सरसल्लाह गरिन् र त्यसका लागि आवश्यक पैसा जोहो गरिदिन भनिन् । आमाको मानविय र मनकारी मन देखेर छोरा दिपेन्द्र पनि यो कुरामा राजी भए र पञ्चासेका घरवारविहिन असहाय गाउँलेहरुलाई चाहिने राहत सामग्री खरिदका लागि रकम पठाए । भूकम्पको भूमरीमा परेको घर धराप छ, चौरमै वास छ । त्यसमाथी उमेरले पनि ६ दशक टेक्न आँटेकी उनी आफैँलाई सहायताको खाँचो परेका बेला त्यसको कुनै वास्ता नगरी करिब ६ लाख बराबरको खाद्यान्न, लुगाकपडा, त्रिपाल लगायतका सामग्री लिएर शान्ता पञ्चासे गाउँ खोज्दै काठमाण्डौंबाट हिँडिन्, केहीदिनअघि कान्छा छोरा हरि उप्रेतीको साथमा । दुईघण्टाको सडकयात्रापछि आइपुगिन्छ नुवाकोटको कोल्पुटार । त्यहाँबाट ५ घण्टाको अत्यासलाग्दो उकालो पार गरेपछि भेटिने गाउँ हो पञ्चासे । कठिनको यात्रापछि पुगेकी शान्तालाई भेटपछि साक्षात् भगवानझैँ मान्नेहरुको कमी थिएन यहाँ । गाउँलेहरुको उत्साहले पनि यस्तै झल्को दिन्थ्यो । किनकी, भूकम्पले उजाड बनाइदिएको यो वस्तीमा अभावसँगै त्रसित मानसिकता बोकेर बाँच्नेहरुका लागि शान्ताको सद्भाव, सहानूभुति र सहयोग अमूल्य थियो । ढुंगा खोज्दा देउता पाएको अनुभुति गर्थे गाउँलेहरु । एक–एक बोरा चामल, चिउरा, त्रिपाल, कपडा, चाउचाउ, बिस्कुट, दाल, नुन, साबुनदेखि घरायसी प्रयोजनमा आवश्यक सबै सामग्री राहतको रुपमा शान्ताले करिब एकसय भन्दा बढी घरपरिवारलाई वितरण गरिन् । ‘नआत्तिनुहोला, देश नै शोकमा डुबेको छ । यो मेरो सानो सहयोग मात्रै हो । यो संकटबाट अब पाठ सिकेर तपाईहरुले नयाँ आँट बोक्नुपर्छ,’ गाउँलेप्रति उनको सहानुभूति थियो । स्कुले उमेरका गाउँभरिका स–साना बालवालिकालाई पनि मायापूर्वक कापीकलमदेखि पठनपाठनका सामग्री थमाइन् । स्थानियवासी सबै खुसी भए, सन्तुष्ट देखिन्थे । दिनदुःखी र विपत्तीमा परेकालाई सहयोग गर्न पाउँदा आफु पनि सन्तुष्ट भएको शान्ताको भनाई थियो । पञ्चासेबाट फर्केर ओरालो लाग्दा बाटैभरि भेटिएका बालबालिकालाई कापी कलम र खानेकुरा झिक्दै बाँड्दा खुसीले फुरुङ हुन्थे । जो भूकम्पको त्रासले लपेटिएका र लखेटिएका थिए । कतिपय बालबालिका नयाँ मान्छे देख्नासाथ भाग्थे । सायद उनीहरुको बालमनोविज्ञानलाई भूकम्पको असरले नराम्ररी गाँजेको थियो । ‘संकटमा परेकालाई उद्धार गर्नु मानविय दायित्व हो, खुसी व्यक्त गर्दै शान्ताले भनिन्, ‘मन्दिरमा गएर मात्र धर्म हुने होइन, मानिसको दुःखमा साथ दिनु ठूलो धर्म हो । यसमा मलाई गर्व लागेको छ ।’ जनताले गाँस काटेर राज्यलाई कर तिरेपछि यस्तो संकटमा सरकार पुग्नुपर्ने हो । राज्यले हेँला गरेको वस्तीमा राहत बोकेर आफ्नी आमा पुगेकोमा छोरा दिपेन्द्र गर्व गर्छन् । खुसीको क्षण पटकपटक हुँदैन, एकपटक आउँछ । जतिबेला गर्वले शिर उँचो बनेर आउँछ । ‘असल आमा आफ्ना सन्तानका लागि मात्र दयावान हुँदैनन्, ‘धर्तीका सहाराविहिन सारा मान्छेका दया र करुणाकी खानी पनि हुन् ।, दिपेन्द्र आमाप्रति सम्मानभाव व्यक्त गर्दै भन्छन्, ‘मेरी आमा मेरा लागि त महान् हुनुहुन्छ नै, अरुका लागिसमेत महान् आमा बन्न सक्नुभएकोमा कृतज्ञ छु ।’ 

दिपेन्द्र जो आफैँमा व्यक्तिगत स्वार्थभन्दा सामाजिक र मानविय सेवामा रमाउँने युवा हुन् । दिनःदुःखीलाई सहयोग गर्नु नै सार्थक जीवन ठान्ने उनले धेरै नेपालीमाथी न्याय गरेका छन् । यसअघि लेवनानमा नेपाली राजदुतावास अन्तर्गत श्रमसहचारीको रुपमा कार्यरत रहँदा वैदेशिक रोजगारमा त्यहाँ पुगेर अलपत्र परेका र दलालबाट ठगिएका सयौँ नेपालीको उद्धारमा महत्वपूर्ण योगदान दिएका थिए । त्यसबाहेक नेपालमा बस्ने धेरै व्यक्तिहरुलाई पनि आर्थिक लगायत थुप्रै सहयोग गरेका छन् । उनी गर्वका साथ भन्छन्, ‘सामाजीक सेवा, मानवियता र सहयोग मेरो जीवनको पर्यायजस्तै हो ।’

The Kumari, considered a living goddess in Nepal.  Prakash Mathema / AFP / Getty Images

KATHMANDU, Nepal — When the centuries-old temples and monuments started crumbling one by one in Kathmandu’s Durbar Square three weeks ago, there was one that stood unscathed: an 18th-century temple that is home to Kumari, Nepal’s living goddess.

“There is not a single crack or damage in the house,” said Gautam Shakya, the guardian of the living goddess, the title of the official caretaker of the house she lives in. “Everyone who was inside the Kumari house was safe that day.”

As Nepal struggles to rebuild after a devastating earthquake that killed more than 8,300 people, many are trying to explain the suffering that has befallen the country, and some have fallen on Kumari, otherwise known as the living goddess.

“Maybe Kumari was angry at being disrespected,” said Shakya, recalling how the morning of the earthquake he and members of the national Newari coalition, the ethnic caste group from which the Kumari is chosen, had met to discuss a piece of artwork that some believed had shown the goddess in a demeaning light.

The worshipping of Kumari dates back to the 18th century. A young girl from the Buddhist Newar caste, believed to be endowed with a set of chosen virtues, is selected to be worshipped as a goddess until she reaches puberty, after which she is replaced by another. At least 11 Kumaris are said to be worshipped within Nepal, but the living goddess in Kathmandu is the best known and considered the most important. Throughout her tenure, the Kumari’s feet never touch the ground, and she is carried by her guardians to a golden palanquin during processions. During major festivals in Kathmandu, Lalitpur, and Bhaktapur, the three cities within the Kathmandu valley, Kumaris from each city are carried in chariots and are worshipped by thousands of Hindus and Buddhists.

The Kathmandu Kumari has made no comment on the earthquake — or on the artwork that some blame for it.

BuzzFeed News requested to speak with her, but no visits have been allowed since the earthquake struck. While foreigners can visit the temple, only Nepalis are allowed to see the goddess in person.

The art in question is a handcrafted work by a local artist that showed a figure resembling the living goddess, in which the iconic red tika on her forehead was made using the cardboard box of a condom packet. The artwork was part of the “Urban Myths” exhibition at the City Museum in Kathmandu.

The Nepal earthquake disaster touched all of us, for the last few weeks Nepal’s citizens were doing their best to save the lives of those innocent people under the rubble, it was one of the most horrible natural disasters, thousands of people were killed, thousands are missing and thousands are injured, the score of people who are killed or missing is very heartbreaking. But no one knows that behind all these rescuing missions, there was a dog that decided to help people in need.

Ripley, the courageous rescue dog who did his best to help in saving the innocent, helped in rescuing many lives. But this hero, who helped in the rescuing missions, was once rescued a year ago. It all started when this courageous dog that was once a stray dog, and he was rescued and taken to the Sioux City Animal Adoption. When he arrived there, workers noticed that he is not a normal dog, he is more than that. They noticed that he had very high energy and very smart instincts; they believed that they can use his talents and it can be used for a good cause, like being a rescue dog

Ripley the hero dog had a good training that improved his talent more, so when the time came for the rescue, Ripley was sent to Nepal after the earthquake as a rescue dog. Surprisingly, Ripley spent over than 100 hours searching and crawling around to help people in need, he went to the places that it was very difficult for human rescuers to get in, and thankfully, Ripley was the one who discovered a 15 years old boy under the rubble, it was a miracle.

Ripley’s story is inspiring; thousands of stray dogs are living out there in the streets, if every one of them got a chance like Ripley to discover their bright side, the world will be a much better place

On a sunny day in Nepal i randomly met a bunch of nepalese skaters riding and doing tricks in a dilapidated street down the crowded Kathmandu. People around were staring at them, both curious and amused by those western-looking teenagers on their 4 wheels boards doing the show, wearing fake Vans shoes, slim fit jeans, caps and mohawk hairstyle. I tried to catch some memories of that amazing event with my poor sony camera but in my mind, growth the idea that someday, i’d set up a serious photoshoot of this unattended display of Nepal. But how did skateboarding arrive in Nepal ? After searching the web, i found the story of a young nepalese who decided to become a skater after seeing a tourist skating in the middle of Thamel, the main tourist zone in Kathmandu. He, and others guys are now involved in building the nepalese skateboarding scene, showing out the desire of a youth generation to share a common identity through this street art. But skateboarders in Nepal are facing numerous difficulties and pitfalls, from the poor state of the streets to the harrassing cops who don’t hesitate when the time comes to confiscate skateboards or grab youngsters to the police station for hours. The dream of those guys is now to have a decent skatepark in Kathmandu, lots of efforts are currently done in this will, that’s a tough way as everything seems complicated in Nepal and that only few guys are carrying the project. But i’m pretty certain that we can help to make a dream come true.

We were so happy to help this children, teaching them how to have a good healthy life. I am really happy with my students as they did their best to help them and have a great time with them.

I would like to visit here someday again with my team and spend more time with them. Chidipani will always be a great memory for me.

Chidipani is a village development committee in Palpa District in the Lumbini Zone of southern Nepal. At the time of the 1991 Nepal census it had a population of 4903 people living in 891 individual households.

Chidipani is located 21 kilometers east of Tansen, the district seat and is 5 km away from Arya Bhanjyang.

Mul Dhoka and Durbar were heavily destroyed by Maoists during their revolt.
