Go Skateboarding Day in Nepal brings wheels, music, and crowds to the riverbank of Kathmandu. Skaters from all over Kathmandu gathered on Saturday for Go Skateboarding Day, traveling along the Bagmati River from Dhumbarahi to Thapathali to compete in tricks and skate games. At an old marble platform on the banks of the Bagmati River, skateboarders celebrated the international Go

 Skateboarding Day on Saturday with a screeching of wheels, cheers, and music. The event, which was put on by a group of people and organizations from the skateboarding community in Kathmandu, toured the city throughout the day. It started with a morning skate rally in Dhumbarahi, where skaters paraded through the city, waving the Nepali flag. After that, the group gathered at an empty swimming pool to show off their best moves before moving to Thapathali for the main competitions. Skaters competed in games of skateboarding on the marble platform, where they attempted the highest ollie and tried to outdo each other with successive tricks. 

The International Association of Skateboarding Companies established Go Skateboarding Day in 2003 to promote the sport and make it more accessible. California hosted the initial events. It has since grown worldwide, with community organizers and businesses organizing meetups and events in dozens of nations. Skaters Nepal's founder, Bikram Regmi, stated that he has witnessed significant development of the local scene over time. In the 1980s, there were few skaters and almost no facilities like skateparks. This is when he started skateboarding. 


He said that while he was in college in the United States, he was struck by the size of skateparks and wished that Nepal had similar infrastructure when he started out. He opened his own skatepark upon his return in 2021 to provide younger skaters with opportunities he did not have. Regmi stated, "We have the talent here, but we don't have the opportunity or resources." Despite skateboarding's growing popularity in Nepal, young skaters still face obstacles to advancement. But the gatherings on Saturday showed that Kathmandu's community is still growing.

LinkedIn Used to Be Useful LinkedIn has long been recognized as the world's largest professional networking platform.  Since its launch in 2003, it has helped millions of people build careers, connect with employers, and share professional knowledge.  For many years, LinkedIn was considered one of the most valuable tools for job seekers, recruiters, and business professionals.  However, in recent years, many users have begun to feel that LinkedIn is not as useful as it once was.  While the platform still offers many benefits, changing trends and user behavior have altered its original purpose.  One of the biggest reasons people believe LinkedIn has become less useful is the increase in social media-style content.  Instead of sharing career advice, industry news, or professional achievements, many users now post personal stories, motivational quotes, and content designed to gain likes and comments.  Although these posts may inspire some readers, t...

We should be cautious of aggressive dogs.  A complete rabies vaccine should be given after any dog bite. It doesn't mean all dogs that bite humans are infected with rabies.  A dog that is abused by humans, trapped in a cage, or tied since birth can also be aggressive.  They can bite even if they are injured or sick.  But not all dogs bite.  How did the phrase "dog bite" come to be?
