Nepali Web Site Featured in an International Publication

A website designed by Nepali Web Designer Swapnil Acharya was featured in an International Publication called “The Web Designer’s Idea Book” among other designs from across the world. Written by Patrick McNeil, Book was published by How Publishing, Cincinatti USA in 2010.

Website CUCWeb.org (website now offline, though), design of Acharya has been featured in this book. And possibly it’s the highest recognition a Nepali web design work has received so far. It again proves that, there are potential web designers in Nepal, who designs visually appealing websites. Further more its an honor for us that one website, from a small market of a small country, stands tall and proud together with almost best name in the industry around the globe.

Not only this, the same website has been also featured in other various prestigious websites like CSSMania.com, 101BestWebsites.com, OnePageLove.com etc. Acharya’s same design has been also featured in book titled "Web Typography" by Viviana Cordova, published by Princeton Architectural Press which will be out in June 2011.

Acharya’s designs was featured in the book under "Successful Social Media Integration" theme. Author McNeil considered CUCWeb.org as "...a bold and courageous move to make social media, ie. Twitter, the main source of information for visitors. There is very little content the website has to offer, but relies on frequently updated twitter feed featured prominently in the website…"

Web Designer Swapnil Acharya first won the title award "WAVE Web Winner" awarded by WAVE magazine of Himalmedia in 2006. Since then, his works have been featured in numerous website galleries across the world. Recently, he has been busy with websites like "Hamro Team" (hamroteam.org.np), NRN Conference Moscow 2011 and Binod Chaudhary's personal blog. Besides this, he is a creative head at Karobar Daily.

After his design being featured in this book, Swapnil says it’s not just him who should feel proud, this is an honor for all of us Nepali people. In his blog he writes, “However, I believe that it's not just me who should feel extremely happy and proud. I mean, this is an honor for all of us (all Nepali people) that one website, from such a small market of such a small country, stands tall and proud together with almost best known names in the industry …”

Though website is offline, we have got the screenshot of CUCWeb.org . Hope it will be online anytime soon. Congratulations and Best Wishes to Swapnil.

मुगु अनुभव - यात्रा

...सुर्खेतमा (हुन त नेपालगन्जबाट पनि सिधा हवाइ सम्पर्क छ, मुगुमा) टिकट पाउने लम्बेतान संघर्ष(?) पछी मुगूको लागि उडान निश्चित हुन्छ । कपडा र आवश्यक केही सरसामानहरुको गह्रुङ्गो झोला सहितको काउन्टर चेक इन पछी डिपार्चर रुम मा छिर्न पाउनु खुबै आनन्द लाग्दो हुन्छ किनकी अब टिकटको लागि हिजो जस्तो संघर्ष गर्नुपर्ने छैन । डिपार्चर रुम को बातावरण पनि रोचक छ । बिमान कम्पनिहरुले दिने १५ किलो को तौल सिमिततालाई छल्न कैयनले अनेकौँ पत्र कपडा लगाएका हुन्छन र कोहिले मुगुमा पाइन्न भनेर लहलहाउँदा रायोका साग र कतिले ब्रोइलर कुखुराका मासु कोसेलिका रुपमा बोकेका हुन्छन । ...एउटी जरखरिएकी एअरहोस्टेस औपचारिक स्वागत गर्छे र सबैलाई सिटबेल्ट बाँध्न निर्देश गर्छे अनी नजानेका यात्रुलाई हप्काइको भाषामा बाँध्न पनि सिकाउँछे । म भने सिटको अघिल्तिर राखिएको आपतकालिन सुरक्षा निर्देशिकाको सानो पन्ना पल्टाउँदै एअरहोस्टेसको ब्यबसायिकताको बारेमा सोच्न लाग्छु । एअरहोस्टेस 'यती एअरलाइन्स' लेखिएको खोलले बेरिएको चकलेट र कपासका टुक्राहरु किस्तिमा बोकेर आउँछे । धन्यवाद सहित म एउटा चकलेट र दुई टुक्रा कपास निकालेर कानमा राख्छ

म र ऊ - एउटा अनलाइन भेट [कथा]

“तिमी को हो?” मेरो प्रश्न थियो! उसले भनी, “खुशी” । “को खुशी”, मैले सोधेँ ! “ह्या, कस्तो नचिन्या होला? म खुशी के ! रहर, छायाँ, खुशी जे भने नि म नै हो के”, उसको जवाफ ! “ए, तिमी पो, कता हराकी थियौ? अब के भनौँ त तिमीलाई उसोभए?” “जे भने नि हुन्छ!” “उसोभए म खुशी भन्छु है”, मैले भनेँ ! उसले हुन्छ भन्ने जनाउ दिन, आँखा सन्काइ र लेखी “हे हे” । कुरा यसरी नै सुरु भएको थियो च्याटमा ! च्याटमा को सँग कुरा गरिरहेछु, आफैँलाई पत्तो छैन, न पहिले च्याट गरिएको थियो, न भेट नै गरिएको थियो । ट्विटरमा नाम परिवर्तन गरिरहने ऊसँग ट्विटरमा आक्कल झुक्कल कुरा गरिने भएपनि उनको ‘म्यासेज’ पहिलोपल्ट च्याटमा अकस्मात आइपुगेको थियो ! म उनको बारेमा प्रस्ट हुन सकिरहेको थिँइन ! अत: फेरि सोधेँ, “यो खुशी को हो?” मेरो प्रश्नले, उसले आफू दुखित भएको जनाउ दिन लेखी “:(” “हैन किन यति रिङ्ग्याएको मलाई”, मैले सोधेँ । “नाम मे क्या रखा है? ;)”, उसको जवाफ ! “नाममा धेरै कुरा राख्या छ हजुर, चिन्नु त पर्यो नि, आफू कोसँग कुरा गर्दैछु भनेर”, मैले भनेँ ! “पिक द नेम, तिम्लाई जुन मन पर्छ त्यही राख”, उसले मलाई नाम छान्ने अधिकार दिई ।

नेपाली टाइप गर्ने सजिलो तरिका

मदन पुरस्कार पुस्तकालयले २००७ २००३-४ ताका नेपाली युनिकोड किबोर्ड लेआउट, रोमनाइज्ड र ट्रेडिसनल सार्वजनिक गर्यो । नेपाली टाइपिङ (ट्रेडिसनल) जान्दै नजान्ने (कहिले नेपाली टाइप नगरेको) मैले, मदन पुरस्कार पुस्तकालयले सार्वजनिक गरेको रोमनाइज्ड नेपाली युनिकोड किबोर्ड लेआउट कम्प्युटरमा राखेर पहिलो पटक कम्प्युटरमा नेपाली भाषामा लेखेँ । यसविचमा कम्प्युटर तथा मोबाइलको लागि धेरै किसिमका नेपाली किबोर्ड लेआउट तथा एप्सहरु आइसकेकाछन्, तर पनि इन्टरनेट प्रयोगकर्ताहरु नेपाली टाइप गर्नुपर्दा अप्ठ्यारो मान्छन् । मलाई धेरैले सोध्ने गरेको प्रश्न भनेको, "फेसबुकमा कसरी नेपाली टाइप गर्ने?" अत: यो ब्लगमा मदन पुरस्कार पुस्तकालय (मपुपु) ले निर्माण गरेको नेपाली युनिकोड किबोर्ड लेआउट बारे चर्चा गर्दैछु। प्रिती, कान्तिपुर लगायतका 'ट्रु टाइप फन्ट' (ttf) प्रयोग गरेर ट्रेडिसनल लेआउटमा नेपाली टाइप गर्ने प्रयोगकर्ताहरुले, नेपाली ट्रेडिसनल युनिकोड किबोर्ड लेआउट राखेर, इन्टरनेटमा सजिलै सँग नेपालीमा लेख्न सक्छन् । भन्नुको मतलब, तपाईलाई पहिले नै नेपाली टाइपिङ आउँछ भने टाइपिङ गर्ने तरिका उही हुन्छ, उही &q
