Degree awarded to Bollywood star

Shilpa Shetty was awarded an honorary doctorate
Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty was praised for her "dignity and poise" as she received an honorary degree at Leeds Metropolitan University.
The actress collected her doctorate of arts as graduation ceremonies for more than 4,000 students began on Wednesday.

The university was a partner of the International Indian Film Academy Awards, held in Yorkshire last month.

Miss Shetty was praised for the way she handled the Celebrity Big Brother racism row earlier this year.

Addressing the graduands, Vice Chancellor Professor Simon Lee said: "There are some parallels between the challenges faced in any house and student life.

"Someone at some time will behave badly, not necessarily to you but to others or the wider community, to someone or some group who cannot defend themselves.

"In Shilpa Shetty you are graduating with someone who rose to that challenge with great dignity and poise, making a difference."

Mother's pride

Miss Shetty said: "I am so overwhelmed, I am choked with emotions and I can't stop smiling.

"I have won some awards, at the cost of sounding immodest, I have never seen my mother beam so much as she is today.

"I can see the pride in her eyes because she's always wanted me to graduate."

She ended her speech with an appeal to her fellow graduands: "If you see anyone suffering indignity stand up for them."

The university previously awarded film star Amitabh Bachchan with an honorary degree.

It said its "pioneering partnership" with the International Indian Film Academy Awards aimed to strengthen educational, business, arts and sporting links with India.

होईन यो धोतिनी को किन चासो लिएको होला??् के हो तिम्रो गर्लफ्रेण्ड हो कि क्या हो??
त्यो ईण्डियन धोति धोतिनी हरु जेसुकै होस न के को मतलब???? बरु नेपालीहरु भयो भने गौरब को कुरा हो नि। काम न काम सिङ न पुच्छरको कुरा गर्छ।
हामी नेपालीहरु वास्तवमा नेपालीनै होईन हामी त ईण्डियन धोति धोतिनीहरु हौं किनकी हामीले नेपाल नेपालीको बारेमा त केही थाहा हुंदैन । तर त्यो के रे शिल्पाले आज बिहान ८ बजे दिशा गरी, ८:३० मा पिसाब गरी। अनि के रे अमिताभ ले आज यो खायो यो घिच्यो, यहा मु्त्यो कहाँ हग्यो, आदि आदि कुराहरु चै एक एक को थाहा हुन्छ तर नेपाल को बारेमा चाही पुरै अनभिज्ञनै छ।
धोति धोतिनीहरुको चाटुकार नबनौ, स्वाभिमानी नेपाली बनेर गर्व गरौं। तर के गर्नु नेपालीहरु भनेको विश्वमै बदनाम कमाएको हो हामी नेपालीहरु आफ्नो अस्तित्वलाई धोतीको मा बन्धक राखेर, र नेपाली भन्न पनि लजाउछौ, बरु धोति हौ भन्दा गर्वले फुलिन्छौ। गति नभएको छाडा नेपालीहरु।

lol...nice one..

Thanks for your opinion but it seems it is too narrow and biased view. Anyway, you are using your democratic rights and others are doing the same. Keep it up.

dude i dont fkin care bout wotever the heck them indians do..dont matter/dont care..and they can read the lines between my fingers ......p.s.we know how we grew up dude..and we never liked em'..and i dont think they like us either..jus cuz we are the neighboring country and bollywood affects us* don't mean we have to like em' hairy a33 indians...call me racists now..

well, guys ... Prachanda will be the next to get honorary Doctorate from somewhere.... just wait!

Hinduterrorist,

I find it funny that it is coming from your mouth. The guy who put that idiotic picture of Shivaji is now telling people that DeshbhaktaNepali is a dhoti lover because he found Shilpa Shetty being awarded a phD peculiar. What an irony! If you are going to post whatever you want to then may be you should have the courtesy to look and not get offended by other people's posts.

Don't you think this could have been posted because the dude found it wierd or sarcastic?

gundrukbhat... alll nepallii are dhoti......
u are the most pure dhoti one..... and all nepali.. including mee.. coz we are die for india and indian for everything..... not only that fucccccccccckiiiiiiinnnnnnnngggggggggg whoooooooooooooooooooreeeeeeeeeeeeeee shilpa shettyyyyyyyyyyyyyy only..... includingggggggggg alllllllllllll shiva's dickkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk n paaaaaaaaarrrrrrbaaaaaaaatiiiiiiiiiiiiii pussssssssssssssssssssyyyyyyyyyy at alllllllllllllllllll

I believe, it is not bad at all to talk about someone progress whoever he/she is. we not only post indian stuff but also all kind of news/info. What you say about prashant tamang's postings?

i should say, when someone has outstood and bestowed the honorary award, let's praise them, let's talk about em, lets i mean at least applause em. UNLIKE others who pretend to be biased for someone from a diff nationality, race gender or whatnot. If they had n;t been virtuous and beneficient enough, they wouldnt be honored as such. hence forth accept the fact that shilpa worked hard and proved it. quit being judgemental and praise the prominents for you might learn to educate yourself to the point where prejudice ceases within u. What good does a futile comment does?

Yes Hinduterrorist! That's real mature. May be if you try posting 100 times, I might even turn into the real dhoti. Why don't you even add "abracadabra" in between your long chain of alphabets? May be it just might work!

Now maybe she could call herself a Dr. just as India's prez, APJ does. Tenzing Norgay (who never attended a day of school in his life) was awarded a honoarary docorate too but he never went about showing it off like APJ has done. BTW, I've often heard the same about some of our politicians who never went throught the rigors of academia but use a Dr. before their names for a honorary doctorate they received in some Indian gauns.

Border: A Thin Line Of Love And Hatred.

How Indian we are? A question to ponder upon! India: we all hate India. We all hate Indians. Why?

I do not hate India. I love India as much I love Nepal. I am an Indian? I love America. Make me an American. I like Shilpa Shetty better than Karishma Manadhar. Kill me? I do not like Pakistanis. But they are really nice people, only Muslim. I do not hate Muslim. I hate Hindus too. Christianity: a faith based on a controversial resurrection of Christ by some Constantine. Jews: the Christkillers and the shylocks. I hate caucasians. I love Negroes. I hate Negroes with sullen attitude, though. I love pretty blondes and brunettes. I hate Mexicans. I love Latinas. I love dollars. I do not hate Nepali Rupee, and never liked Indian Rupees either. I love the ships that bring our basic commodities in Calcutta port. I hate the largest railway system in the world, Indian Railways. I hate Laxmi Chanda Mittal and Mukesh Ambani. But I donot love King Gyanendra nor Girija Prasad. India is our neighbor, nor do I hate Bill Gates and Warren Buffet. In Bible, it says; Thou shalt love thy neighbor. I say: Thy Neighbor is thy enemy!

We do not care what Indian people do. We should not. We should not care what other people are doing. Why should we care if we cannot do the same thing they are doing. I have only question, and it is a weird one: Why do you think British never ruled Nepal?

Right, because we were brave enough to stop them from entering our borders. Because we were more powerful than a powerful East India Company and the British Raaj which colonized the whole world, from the Americas to the Far East. Because our valor and prowess vanquished the nefarious intent of the British, to colonize Nepal. The Hindustan, as they called India then, was so weak, they gave into the British rule. But Nepal, a tiny kingdom, was brave enough to contend the most formidable power which ruled over the rest of the world for over 300 years.

We all should hate India. We all should hate British. Heck, while we at it, we should hate America too. We should hate all and everybody else. And resurrect our country from its ashes. But how? That is a question that has been gnawing upon me, it is unbearable and unthinkable. Then, it dawned upon me: without India, there is no Nepal. Correct me if I am wrong. Curse me if I am wrong. But then, give me the answer too.

Shilpa Shetty is hot. You should see her in Om Shanti Om. Damn, she is hot. Sorry, I forgot she is Indian. But she is still hot. God, I hate Indians. No, not because they are far ahead of us, because they reek of onion and garlic. I do not hate India becase it is technologically, geographically and economically one of the most foremost developing country, I hate India because they churn out movies like burgeoning mushrooms left in the market in wholesale price, and god, I cannot resist. That bushwacks my patriotism.

I am thinking of opening an restaurant. It will be a Nepali restaurant. I will name it;

 Sagarmatha

Indian/ Nepalese cuisine.

The menu will consist of: Momo, Khasiko masu. Khukurako masu, Alu Tama Bodi and Jhaneko Daal. And rest of the about 15 to 20 not so popular indian dishes that sell ok.

I speak Hindi, Urdu fluently,and I hate when they think I am an Indian. My pride doesnot deter when the Americans ask me of my heritage and I proudly say,

Nepal. I dread the frown in their face.

Nepal, I think I heard of it.

Then, submissively, I have to say, Nepal is the land of Mt Everest and Lord Budha, situated between China and India. I say India later so that they donot accentuate on the Indian part, but they solve the puzzle.

Ah! I see, but I thought Mt Everest is in China and Lord Buddha was born in India.

And I have to explain how he was born in Lumbini and it is only 30 kms away from my home. My face beams proudly when they acknowledge. I feel I defeated India.

I hear many of my friends' early careers. Dunkin' Donuts, Subway, Gas Station. I myself work in the similar line. And my friends feel obligated to curse their Indian or Pakistani bosses, and laud for their kind charity at the same time. I hate my boss, but I am loyal to him. He treats me good. not very unfair. I heard one friend say, If there were no Indian or Pakistani employers, all the Nepalese would be jobless in the US. They give you your first jobs of your life and create a milestone for your career. I counter him, it would have been better if there were no Indian or Pakistanis employers. We could work for the Americans. Most of the non-professional (education-based)  people I know who work for Americans  work behind the scenes. I work under one and tens other work under me. And I wish I did not have to do that. Not with an Indian or Pakistani employer, who trusts me enough that he leaves me with his money.

My rhetorical is my prerogative. I see things in the narrower corridor of wider spectrum. I love the blue sky, and I love the bleak winter too. Do you?

 

PS: The narrative went longer than I expected. It is entirely my perspective and comprises of biased and unbiased snippets, sardonically sarcastic and ironic too. I am verbose at places, pardon me for my impetuous ignorance. I am a mere high school dropout who saw and tasted life with both eyes: of a struggling person and that of a true Nepali patriot. I found that the eyes of struggling person is more important than that of a Nepalese patriot. Necessity and responsibilty teaches you to love the most unexpected thing, for the sake of yourself and others associated with you. If you are fine, people around you will be fine, and that goes to all of us.
