Roku TV app for Kantipur TV (Unofficial)

Wondering if you can watch any Nepali TV channel in your Roku device? Here's a new app to watch Kantipur TV in your favorite Roku device for free: https://my.roku.com/account/add?channel=LNTDCL

Consider it a Christmas and new year gift for the Nepali community.

Note: You would need to log in to your free Roku account before you can add the channel. You would not find the app by searching in the Roku store, it's a private channel.

I am not who I was nor who I am right now, but am who I will be and want to be

Think about it: do you want to be satisfied with who you are or take steps to achieve your goals by setting higher standards than ever.

Time to Move: Time for The Change Again

Well, its almost time again: time to move, and time for a change once again. The journey of pursuing career in academia isn't an easy choice - nor is an impossible in any way.

It feels like yesterday that I came to Vegas. Honestly, I didn't even get many chances to do lots of things here. Nevertheless, I have found people born and raised here who have done even less stuffs here than I have already done - a bit of relief for me :). Growing in faith, making new friends, learning from others, getting cultured - I did all of those which mattered much more to me than anything else I can think of right now. Although, I have to say I took only couple of steps compared to miles of distance I wanted to travel.

Nepalese Community in Las Vegas (Nepalese Students’ Association - University of Nevada Las Vegas (NSA - UNLV))

Why I am writing this post

Few months back, I read somewhere that a Nepali guy was about to move to Las Vegas from another state. He was trying to find Nepalese in Las Vegas so that it would be easier to settle down here. I tried Googling for Nepalese Community in Las Vegas and barely found anything useful.

Most people like to hang out with people from same background, same language, and same culture. It probably means slower cultural shock (and not lesser cultural shock).

Anyways, I am writing this post so that Google will return some information when someone searches for Nepalese Community in Las Vegas. It may be noted that there is no organized community of Nepalese residing in Las Vegas besides the organization of students studying at UNLV. But you can find residential Nepalese through those students’ organization.l

How do you begin research? The Literature Review

Don’t be shocked but the research that you will be doing soon in your grad school, or at least the methodology, may be quite different than what you would have expected when you were a prospective grad students applying in number of schools. Imagining yourself surrounded with alien instruments may become reality for physics or other pure science students but not necessarily true for engineering and other students. Doing research does not always involve use of cutting edge technology but always means finding something new, involve analyzing some data, and reaching to some conclusions. A research may be as specific as solving some particular existing problem or somewhat broader. In any case, the research begins with the study of existing papers in the related subject.

Possible Future Posts

I don't really have much time and I can't write a good post in short time so I will be posting several possible titles for posts. Later when I have time, I will be writing full posts for those topics.

1. The Anomalies in USA (Units, Right hand sided driving, date format etc.)
2. Empty streets
3. Buses run empty here, yet at designated time. Only few dares or cares or can ride motorcycle. Guess what? Almost all adults have a car.
4. The Credit is the future
