One of the finest book ever written in Nepali literature....Shirish Ko Phool and one of my personal favorite. I have read this novel over four times or say five times..and each time I finish the novel I feel pang and it hangs on my head for so many days. Why guilt is so painful that made such a strong woman called Sakambari to suicide..or die…?? The novel has a wonderful language..the simplest of all. When I had read it for the first time..to tell the truth that I hadn’t really understood the novel, I felt the love story in it and I could not understand the passion in the novel.. But this day I may say I am able to figure out the passion and the feelings of the author.. I really appreciate the wonderful story, the plot the real setting, the real characters…and the situation of the novel till it ends. The pain of running away from the feelings and passion. When the Suyogbir says.."Ma glass ma bhagchu” ( I forgot the line exactly…). The feeling is that we run away from pai...

५ करोड फेसबुक प्रयोगकर्ताको तथ्यांक चोरी भएको खबर केही दिन पहिले गार्डियन तथा न्युयोर्क टाइम्स ले प्रकाशित गरेको थियो । प्रयोगकर्ताको जानकारी विना फेसबुकबाट लिइएको उक्त तथ्यांकलाई क्याम्ब्रिज एनालिटिका भन्ने कम्पनीले अनधिकृत रुपमा प्रयोग गरेको दावी गर्दै, क्याम्ब्रिज एनालिटिका’का भूतपूर्व इन्जिनियर क्रिस्टोफर वाइलीले गार्डियनलाई अन्तरवार्ता दिएर यी कुराहरु मिडियामा सार्वजनिक गरेका थिए । क्रिस्टोफरका अनुसार क्याम्ब्रिज एनालिटिकाले २०१४ मा एउटा एप मार्फत करिब ५ करोड फेसबुक प्रयोगकर्ताहरुको तथ्यांक चोरी गरेको थियो । क्याम्ब्रिज एनालिटिका र फेसबुककै विषयमा गार्डियनले पहिले नै २०१५ मा समाचार प्रकाशित गरेको थियो । उक्त समाचार पछि फेसबुकले क्याम्ब्रिज एनालिटिकालाई तथ्यांक मेटाउन भनेको र एनालिटिकाले तथ्यांक मेटाएको जानकारी फेसबुकलाई गराएको थियो । तर दुबै कम्पनीले यो कुरालाई गुपचुप राखेका थिए, अझ उल्टै फेसबुकले जथाभावी समाचार लेखेको भन्दै गार्डियनलाई मुद्दा हाल्ने धम्कि दिएको थियो भने क्याम्ब्रिज एनालिटिकाले तथ्यांक सुरक्षित नै राखेको थियो । त्यही चोरी गरिएको प्रयोगकर्ताहरुको तथ्यांकलाई ...

ट्विटरव्दारा प्रयोगकर्तालाई पासवर्ड परिवर्तन गर्न आग्रह [पडकास्ट 📻 ]

आकार पोष्ट रेडियोको पहिलो अंकमा स्वागत छ । आजको यो अंकमा ट्विटरले केही दिन पहिले पासवर्ड परिवर्तन गर्न जारी गरेको सूचनाको बारेमा कुरा गर्दैछु । के कति कारणले, ट्विटरले पासवर्ड परिवर्तन गर्न सूचना जारी गर्‍यो, तथा प्रयोगकर्ताले के कति कारणले पासवर्ड तुरुन्त परिवर्तन गर्नुपर्छ भन्ने विषयमा यो अंक केन्द्रित छ । पडकास्टको यो पहिलो अंक परिक्षणको रुपमा मोबाइलमा रेकर्ड गरेर तयार पारिएको हो । कति सकिन्छ थाहा छैन, तर यस पडकास्टलाई साप्ताहिक रुपमा सञ्चालन गर्ने मेरो योजना छ, जहाँ सूचना प्रविधिका विभिन्न पाटोहरुको बारेमा कुरा गर्नेछु । हाललाई यो पडकास्ट एन्कर एफएम तथा स्टिचर एप मार्फत सुन्न सकिन्छ । ट्विटरमा प्रयोग भएको पासवर्ड अन्य साइटहरुमा (जस्तो: फेसबुक, गुगल, दराज, सस्तोडिल, ड्रपबक्स आदि) पनि प्रयोग गरिएकोछ भने, ती साइटहरुमा पनि पासवर्ड तुरुन्त परिवर्तन गर्नुभइ, इन्टरनेटमा सुरक्षित रहनुहोला। प्रो टिप: साइटहरुमा कहिले पनि एउटै पासवर्ड प्रयोग नगर्नुहोला। pic.twitter.com/PjWwQWc7C4 — Aakar Anil (@aakarpost) May 4, 2018

फेसबुक न्युजफिड अपडेट - पेजलाई झनै गाह्रो

अमेरिकामा भएको पछिल्लो राष्ट्रपति निर्वाचनको परिणाम सार्वजनिक भएसँगै फेसबुक लगायत विभिन्न सोसल मिडिया साइटहरुको उपयोगिताबारे व्यापक बहस सुरु भएको थियो । "फेक न्युज"को बिगबिगीले गर्दा फेसबुक, एकहिसाबमा फेकबुकमा परिणत भयो । प्राय: फेक न्युजहरु नै धेरै सेयर हुने र भाइरल हुन थाले । धेरै सेयर हुँदा, स्वाभावत: "फेक न्युज" पनि साँच्चै हो भन्न थालियो । कहिँकति अनुसन्धान छैन, फलानोले एकथरि पेजबाट समाचार सेयर गर्छ, अर्कोले सेयर गर्छ, अर्कोले गर्छ, असत्य तथा काल्पनिक समाचारहरु कै बोलबाला देखियो । नेपालमा भएको पछिल्लो निर्वाचनमा पनि प्रचारवाजी शैलीका मनगढन्ते तथा काल्पनिक समाचारहरु भाइरल भए । फलाना र चिलाना पार्टि, मान्छे पिच्छेका अनलाइन समाचार पोर्टल, फेसबुकको न्युजफिड हेर्न नै दिक्क लाग्ने किसिमको थियो । सबैभन्दा अनौठो लाग्ने चाँहि, मान्छेहरु फेसबुकमा फलाना समाचार पोर्टलले लेखेको भन्दै सेयर गरिरहेका भेटिन्थे । अझ के भने, नेपालका ठूला प्रकाशनहरु सँग ठ्याक्कै मिल्ने नामहरु राखेर काल्पनिक समाचारको व्यापार गर्ने समूहहरु नै छन् । उदाहरणको लागि, कान्तिपुरले यस्तो उस्तो लेख्यो ...
