Dasarath Rangashala Stadium pictures.

Now that SAFF Championship kicks off today (August 31, 2013) with match between host Nepal and one time winner Bangladesh, I am compiling some pictures taken in the venue Dasarath Rangashala Stadium, Kathmandu. As I am planning to watch the Nepal Vs Bangladesh Live in the stadium though it will be broadcasted live on Kantipur TV and even live streaming from kantipurtv.com/live, I am gonna add some more pictures in this blog if I manage to get the tickets beforehand and enter the stadium.
Here are the photos captured in the Dasarath Rangashala Stadium for different football events (though the stadium has witnessed some awesome concerts).

Earthquake in Kathmandu August 30, 2013.

Update:  The quake that was felt in Kathmandu, is known to be centered in the western Xizang province of China with the magnitude of 5.0 rector scale. The epicenter is about 418 km NW of Kathmandu, Nepal. 


A mild Earthquake hits Kathmandu in the middle of the night on August 30, 2013. First tremor was felt for about 5 seconds at 11:35 pm, and the aftershock was even felt at 11:48 PM. People around my neighborhood are still outside their home, with their panic heads. More details are yet to come for the magnitude of the quake,  the epicenter and any physical destruction.

The Edge Band concert in Kathmandu (with pictures)

Pokhareli Rock Band The Edge performed a concert in Kathmandu today at Army officers club. The Band now having three new members (other than Vocalist and Lead guitarist), rocked the floor with their soft melodious numbers and some hard rocks. Though the turn out was not that big (about two hundred), all being true fans were found singing aloud with the band. More girls were seen in the concert than boys, proving the band to be pretty popular among ladies. The band performed almost all of their hits like Thaha Chaina to Mero Aashu  to Nachaheko and some of the numbers from their latest album Alag which was even distributed to the audiences in the venue. Nachaheko being one of my favorite single from the band, I managed to take the video which will be uploaded soon in Youtube. 

Here are some pictures from the concert.

SAFF Championship 2013 schedule (Kathmandu)

Update: Click here for SAFF semifinal Schedule.

South Asian Football Federation (SAFF) Championship is going to be held in Kathmandu from 31st August 2013. Eight countries (Nepal, India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Srilanka, Maldives, Bhutan and Afghanistan) are participating in this 10th version (among which Nepal, India, Pakistan, Srilanka participated in all, and Afghanistan joined the group later). Other Teams are pouring in and getting accustomed with the environment here in Kathmandu. Nepal had never won the title and got the best third place till now, but seems strong contender for winning the title this time along with home ground advantage. Five times winner Indian team has many new faces but they are still confident of winning the title. Last SAFF runner-ups Afghanistan are also believed to give good performance for bagging the championship. But it is always too early to predict without watching single play here in Kathmandu. Two venues are selected for the match: Dasarath Rangashala Stadium and Halchowk Stadium.

Eight Teams are divided into two: Group A and B. Of which Nepal, India, Pakistan, Bangladesh are made to fall in Group A whereas Aghanistan, Bhutan, Maldives, Srilanka are gathered in Group B. Nepal will play against Bangladesh in the opening match of the championship on 31st August 6:30 pm Nepali time at Dasarath Rangashala Stadium. It is also known that Kantipur Television will be broadcasting all the matches live.

Here is the schedule of the group stage matches of SAFF championship 2013 being held in Kathmandu, Nepal.

Flood in Kathmandu. #photo #ktm.

Coming back home from office, I saw the way from Traffic Police office (near Singa durbar) to Putalisadak in full flood. Some of the things I witnessed there are: Umbrellas all over for the heavy rain, Water entering inside the houses near the road, people folded their pants for walking in the water, some of them even taking off their shoes (which I could not capture), problems in vehicles for ignition (start) which resulted in jam. I managed to capture some pictures in the way which are quite shaky and not that of good quality but I prefer posting it and hope for some concerned people to see the misery of people and do some actions to solve it. 

Here are some pictures that I have taken from my mobile in the road.
