As earlier hikes, all nice guy team and a serene place - Kakani. And our small effort to save our environment by planting few saplings there. Some optimists who believe small effort like this counts and promise to keep this effort alive were the participants in this hike. After a 3 hours walk along the village, jungle and water fall, we reached Kakani. There was a scout training area and we selected to plant some young trees there. We irrigated for the day and asked the scout office staff for further irrigation. On the way back to Kathmandu, we distributed few copies and pencils to the school children as an inspiration for further studies.

D2 Cultural program (Novafest 08)

Event: NovaFest 2008
Organizer: D2HawkeyeServices Pvt. Ltd
Type: Cultural Program
Date: Saturday, 22 November 2008
Venue: Rastriya Sanskritik Sansthan[Rastiya Nach Ghar]
Location: Jamal, Kathmandu, Nepal

A wonderful experience in my life. It was my participation in a cultural program as a performer and an audience; organized by our office as its continuation of last year's cultural fest. The program had 25 items in line up -songs, dances and dramas. Last year, I enjoyed the event at Yak & Yeti as an audience only but regreted not being the performer.

This time, after a regular training and rehearsal at Star Entertainment training Center, Old Baneshwor and at office with the mentorship of a dance teacher, we became able to perform well. Well in the sense, we were not professional dancer and we made it with great enthusiasm making some time apart from the hectic schedule of office work and personal activities.

Initially, we were practicing for a group dance in a song 'Ban ma fulyo ful' but later on we dropped it. And then, started dancing in a song 'Herda ma ramro', a very sweet and enchanting variety of folk songs and the dance is performed with the rhythmic sound of the "Damphoo" musical instrument which the dancers carry in their hands. It falls in the category of Tamanag selo.
