It is said that a momentous day rarely comes but comes once in a century. There are a few momentous days in the political history of Nepal. One of such momentous days in Nepal is the declaration of the Republic Day. The day was May 28, 2008, or Jestha 15, 2064 BS.

This indeed heralded a new era in the history of Nepal.
Republicanism: Despite Progress, Challenges Remain
Nepal's shift from monarchy to republicanism was a watershed moment in the country's history. However, the republic's roots have not yet penetrated deep inside Nepali society, which was ruled for more than two centuries by Shah Monarchs, who began to lose the people's confidence as they placed self-interest above responsibility and ignored public opinion.

Demographically, unlike the past several decades, Nepal at present is neither characterised as a nation of young people nor that of aged ones but as one of a mature or adult population. Likewise, its population is not growing fast, and its growth rate has declined signIoicantly.
The Asian Paradise Flycatcher
The famous Bouddheshwar Mahadev Temple lies near the buffer zone of Shivapuri National Park in Kathmandu. Located at the foot of Shivapuri hill and the lower part of Jhor Waterfall in Ward No. 1 Tokha Municipality, the area where the temple stands is knowns as Patikhet.

His abrupt shifts and bewilderment from love musings to the expressions of his pungent complaints to himself reflect the inconstancy of people around the world.
