In the Himalayan land of Nepal, Paru Hang, and Sumnima were the ancestors of kirats from the ancient times. The period between 900 BC and 300 AD is known as Kirat era in the history of Nepal. There were 29 kings who ruled the country for about 1225 years. Present day Rais and Limbus are the descendants of the kirats.

Among the various traditional celebrations, UDHOULI and UBHOULI are the most important festival of kirats. These festivals are known as CHASOK, to Limbus, as CHASUWA to Yakkha Rais, as FOLSADAR to Sunwar Rais and as SAKELA or SAKENWA to Bantawa and other Rais. Many traditional instruments like Drum, Cymbal, Yak tail and Shord are played to dance during this festival. Every year there are two celebrations, UDHOULI is marked for 15 days, during the month of November, while UBHOULI is celebrated also for 15 days in the month of April – May.

Udhouli is celebrated during the harvest season, mainly to exhibit the gratefulness to the nature for the plentiful harvest and to received the approval to harvest from the land. The literal definition of UDHOULI is the migration toward south during winter time. Toward the end of the fall, animals and birds migrate from the north Himalayan mountains down to warmer south low lands. This migration towards south gave the festival its name UDHOULI literally meaning downward movement.

UBHOULI festival is celebrated during the farming season which falls in the month of April- May. It is celebrated to worship the land and the nature with a “Seuli” (which is a small tree branch full of leaves). With the arrival of unbhouli, the living animals and birds migrate back to the cooler northern hills and mountains. The migration toward north gave the term unbhouli., literally meaning upward movement. These festivals show the closeness to the nature and environmental consciousness of the indigenous Kirats of Nepal.

Top Ten Tips To Improve System Speed

1. Let your PC boot up completely before opening any applications.

2. Refresh the desktop after closing any application. This will remove any unused files from the RAM.

3. Do not set very large file size images as your wallpaper. Do not keep a wallpaper at all if your PC is low on RAM (less than 64 MB).

4. Do not clutter your Desktop with a lot of shortcuts. Each shortcut on the desktop uses up to 500 bytes of RAM

5. Empty the recycle bin regularly. The files are not really deleted from your hard drive until you empty the recycle bin.

6. Delete the temporary internet files regularly.

7. Defragment your hard drive once every two months. This will free up a lot of space on your hard drive and rearrange the files so that your applications run faster.

8. Always make two partitions in your hard drive. Install all large Softwares (like PSP, Photoshop, 3DS Max etc) in the second partition. Windows uses all the available empty space in C drive as virtual memory when your Computer RAM is full. Keep the C Drive as empty as possible.

9. When installing new Softwares disable the option of having a tray icon. The tray icons use up available RAM, and also slow down the booting of your PC. Also disable the option of starting the application automatically when the PC boots. You can disable these options later on also from the Tools or preferences menu in your application.

10. Protect your PC from dust. Dust causes the CPU cooling fan to jam and slow down thereby gradually heating your CPU and affecting the processing speed. Use compressed air to blow out any dust from the CPU. Never use vacuum.

RAM IS THE WORKING AREA (DESKTOP) OF THE CPU, KEEP IT AS EMPTY AND UNCLUTTERED AS POSSIBLE!
