गायक विनोद बानियाँको गीत “यही दु:ख गरौला” सार्वजनिक
काठमाडौं, कात्तिक २२ ।
गायक विनोद बानियाँको स्वर र संगीतमा नयाँ नेपाली गीत “यही दु:ख गरौला” सार्वजनिक भएको छ। गीतको भिडियो अहिले युट्युबमार्फत सार्वजनिक गरिएको छ।

गीतका शब्द तथा संगीतकार सुरज उपाध्याय हुन् भने संगीत संयोजन राजेश बिष्ट क्षेत्रीले गरेका छन्। गीतको मिक्सिङ र मास्टरिङ प्रकाश मिश्रले अकौस्टिक नेपाल स्टुडियोमा गरेका हुन्।

भिडियोतर्फ, नेत्र गुरुङको निर्देशन, सम्पादन तथा रङ संयोजन रहेको छ। भिडियोमा विक्रम कार्की, सुष्मा श्रेष्ठ, देवराज गुरुङ, सुबास श्रेष्ठ र सिजन श्रेष्ठले अभिनय गरेका छन्।

क्यामेरामा मिलन संखर, ड्रोन तथा सहायक क्यामेरामा गणेश सापकोटा, प्रकाश व्यवस्थापनमा अमृत देवकोटा र हरी पौडेल छन्। मेकअप जया गुरुङले सम्भालेकी छिन् भने उत्पादन व्यवस्थापक सुबास रामदाम हुन्।

फोटापत्रकार वन्तको लेन्स मार्फत चिनको शानदोङ्गको जीवन सस्कृति (फोटो फिचर)
काठमाडौं, कात्तिक २२ ।
चीनको शानडोंग प्रान्तमा सम्पन्न अन्तर्राष्ट्रिय फोटो महोत्सव “अवसर चीन, ऊर्जाशील शानडोंग” मा सहभागिता जनाएर फकिएको हु ।
सन् २०२५ अक्टोबर १५ देखि २१ तारिखसम्म चलेको उक्त महोत्सवमा नेपालसहित जापान, भियतनाम, मलेसिया, कोरिया, म्यानमार, थाइल्याण्ड, रसिया र फिजी लगायत देशका करिब १०० भन्दा बढी फोटो पत्रकार र फोटोग्राफरहरूको सहभागिता रहेको थियो । कार्यक्रम चीनको शानडोंग प्रान्तीय समितिको प्रचार विभाग र अन्तर्राष्ट्रिय फोटोग्राफिक आर्ट महासंघ (चीन कार्यालय, जिनान) को संयुक्त आयोजनामा सम्पन्न भएको हो ।
महोत्सवका क्रममा सहभागीहरूलाई तीन समूहमा विभाजन गरी शानडोंगका ऐतिहासिक, सांस्कृतिक तथा औद्योगिक क्षेत्रहरूको भ्रमण गराइएको थियो । उक्त अवसरमा हामीलाई विन्झाओ सिटीमा अवस्थित किसान नेताको स्मारक संग्रहालय, एल्लो रिभर टावर, पार्क, तथा विश्वप्रसिद्ध कपडा उद्योग र विशाल कार्पेट संग्रहालयको अवलोकन भ्रमण तथा फोटो खिच्ने अवसर प्राप्त गरेका थियौ ।
त्यसैगरी, स्थानीय किसानद्वारा सञ्चालित फलफूल खेती जुजुको वगैचा भ्रमणका क्रममा आफ्नै हातले फल टिप्ने खाने र झोला भरि लाने कार्यक्रमले साहै रमाइलो पनि भयो । चीनको ग्रामीण जीवन नजिकबाट बुझ्ने अवसर पनि प्राप्त गरे । साथै, उडी फिल्म सिटीमा आयोजित कला, संस्कृति र नृत्य प्रदर्शनको पनि अवलोकन गर्नुका साथै मनोरन्जन पनि गर्ने अवसर प्राप्त भएको थियो ।
भ्रमणका क्रममा सहभागीहरूले तेल उत्खनन् उद्योगमा प्रयोग हुने मेसिन, विद्यालयका विद्यार्थीहरूको चिनियाँ ओपेरा, र प्राकृतिक रूपमा संरक्षित एल्लो रिभर क्षेत्रका चराहरू पनि अवलोकन गरेका थिए । यस प्रकारका अन्तर्राष्ट्रिय महोत्सवहरूले नेपाल र चीनबीचको सांस्कृतिक सम्बन्ध सुदृढ गर्ने, पर्यटन प्रवद्र्धनमा टेवा पु¥याउने तथा नेपाली फोटो पत्रकारिताको पहिचानलाई अन्तर्राष्ट्रिय स्तरमा उजागर गर्न मद्दत पु¥याउँछ भन्ने विश्वास लिएको छु । धन्यवाद

“Opportunity China, Vitality Shandong” Photo Future
Kathmandu:
A three-member Nepali team led by Pradeep Raj Onta, President of the National Federation of Photo Journalists (NFPJ), Nepal, recently returned home after participating in the “Opportunity China, Vitality Shandong” International Photo Festival held in Shandong Province, China.
The festival took place from October 15 to 21, 2025, bringing together over 100 photojournalists and photographers from various Asian countries. The event was jointly organized by the Publicity Department of the CPC Shandong Provincial Committee and the International Federation of Photographic Art (China Office, Jinan), with support from Shandong Radio and Television Station, Shandong International Communication Center, Shandong University of Art and Design, and the China Eastern International Photography Art Association.
Participants were divided into three groups and toured different cultural, historical, and scenic sites across Shandong Province. The first group included photographers from Nepal, Japan, Vietnam, and China, while others represented Malaysia, Korea, Taiwan, Myanmar, Thailand, Russia, Fiji, and several other countries.
During the first and second days, the Nepali team visited Dezhou City, exploring the Black Soil Museum, Xiajin Ancient Street, Mulberry Fruit Research Garden and Industry, China D-Film City, the Yellow River irrigation dam, ancient gardens, Ningjin Acrobatic Cricket Valley, Laoling Film and Television City, and the Junweiz Museum. The participants captured the rich nature, culture, and development of Shandong through their cameras.
According to Onta, such international participation helps strengthen cultural ties between Nepal and China, promotes tourism, and encourages artistic collaboration. He believes that events like this not only showcase Nepali photojournalism and national identity at the global level but also create opportunities for friendship and cooperation among photographers from different countries.
