The Ramp modeling Agency Jayan Subba (manandhar)

Director Jayan Subba's charming face turns slightly serious as she reminisces her modeling days more than a decade back. "We had to struggle a lot. Our conservative society had a negative viewpoint about models. But, although few fashion shows were organized, they were qualitative shows. There were very few models so we were in great demands." She still remembers her first remuneration as a model. "I had modeled for Starling dots and received Rs. 4000. I brought a cable line for my home with that money." Her smile returns back. After modeling for almost thirty fashion shows, Jayan Subba decided to take a back seat. She got involved in 'The Ramp', Nepal's oldest and one of the leading modeling agencies. Today, as a proprietor, she is extremely busy in training young models. "We teach the aspiring models to be professional and not to be carried away with short phased fame and adulation." She remarks. "My favorite international models are Mehr Jessia, Sheetal Molar, Nina, Naomi Campbell, and Cindy Crafts". Inside Nepal, she likes models Monima Khadka, Kala Subba and Season Bhattachan. A model, choreographer, photographer and journalist, Jayan is also a loving wife and mother. With so much work on her closet, it is surprising how she manages them so well. "I have received a wonderful family. It is their support that has helped me be what I am today." She throws a charismatic smile to me along with her words.

Life itself is a challenge so we have to face every challenge then it will become easier. I have lots of experienced in life. I used to love children's from the beginning and they have different feeling, behavior and mentality than us. I had a vision to do some thing for children and there is need of pre-primary education before primary schooling. It is most important to build a strong foundation for children for better education. So this small my world is a result of all matters and needs. Why did you named kings world as Montessori? Montessori education system is a world wide famous education system and I am really impressed by this system of education. This is the one system where we do teach children after understanding children's philosophy. This is a scientific method of teaching, where we teach how children grows, what children want, how their mindset is and how can we fulfill.

WOW....GOLD MEDALIST RITA LIMBU.

Her Interviewed here: What was your first reaction when you found out that you were the gold medalist in M.A. Sociology? Firstly, I did feel I would top the college but never expected to top the whole University. It was a great surprise and very unexpected but later it was normal maybe because I haven’t got the medal yet so I feel normal now. What was the environment in Campion really like? It was really good, it had homely environment. We could interact with the teachers freely, there were no hesitations. It helped the students in all round development. I know and the students studying in Campion know that Campion has the best set of teachers and has a very good environment for any student. How was your life in Campion really like? It was really fun, the college had lots of co-curricular activities, teachers were very friendly and also the management, we could share our problems with both the teachers and management, and I also had good close friends in Campion Who was your favorite teacher in Campion? There are no favorite as such but I preferred Surendra Sir’s lecture and Dahal Sir’s lecture because we would interact a lot during these classes. Who or what was your inspiration? They were many inspirations in my life but mostly I give credit to my school Principal Mrs. Dora Gallop because she inspired me to improve my English. We came to know you like sports beside that what were your other interests? I like readings poems, swimming, table tennis. I love reading novels and biographies. So you love reading, what kind of books do you prefer and who is your favorite writer? I stayed in hostel and I got this habit of reading. I think reading has really helped me improve my language. I basically prefer reading romantic novels and biographies. My favorite writer would be Nicholas Park. You know though we are in the 21st century still people believe that science and commerce is a better choice to make than humanities what is your comment for such thoughts? Yes, you are right. Still people believe that humanities is an easy subject, they will tell you why take such easy subject and waste your money. But I believe it really doesn’t matter what those people say. What matters is what you believe and how do you take your subject because it is only you who knows how hard or easy the subject really is. If you would have to describe yourself in one word what would it be? It definitely would be achiever. One quotation or line you prefer? I think it would have to be “to gain something you got to loose something” Which life do you prefer more a student life or a teachers life? I think student life is much preferred life. Now as I become a teacher I feel I know how would have my teachers felt when we didn’t interact with them. How they have to prepare themselves so as to help us. What are your future plans? I think I will do a full stop after my masters and let see, haven’t really thought about it right now. Are you planning to go abroad? Yes, I will be going abroad. Final words for the students of Campion. Just be the best in whatever you do. Don’t go out of track, enjoy life but be a true student. Do the right thing in the right time. Thank's to god and we are really grateful to you. subhadra lingden.

JINA LINGDEN: THE FIRST LIMBU WOMEN AIR PILOT

AND NEPAL FIRST FEMALE PILOT: RAKSHYA RANA: Twenty years ago, the idea of a Nepali woman becoming a pilot may have seemed more than aberrant in Nepal. But that did not stop Rakshya Rana from dreaming to fly. She grew up to become Nepal's first female pilot. Born on 7 Nov. 1967, to mother (late) Ganga Rana and father Noor Pratap JB Rana, Rakshya instantly made up her mind about becoming a pilot in her teens when she comprehended the fact that flying was a field which was, in Nepal, void of women. "I wanted to be the first Nepali woman pilot to acquire a Commercial Pilot License," she says. She recalls her friends who wanted to practice conventional professions like medicine, engineering and teaching, while she on the other hand desired to delve into an area where no Nepali women had before. "At that time, there was a strong public impression that women being a weaker sex were not capable of succeeding in a field, which was synonymous with danger and the male sex. The very challenge to prove women as strong and as good as men motivated me enough to try and become a pilot." Rakshya got her training from Hoffman Pilot Centre in Broomfield, Colorado for her private pilot license. She then moved to Addison, Dallas, Texas where she completed the rest of the training and obtained her FAA commercial Pilot license with Muli Engine and Instrument Rating in April 1988. It took her 11 months in total to complete the course. Rakshya was 24 years old when she flew professionally for the first time, with the domestic airlines Everest Air. As audacious as it seems for that time, Rakshya feels lucky to have had parents who were very encouraging about it all. "If you have parents who believe in you and are as supportive as my parents were, no difficulty can make any difference," she says. subhadra lingden.

About Historical and Contemporary Limbu Women of Nepal"Anupama Subba

Triditonal Limbu Women wore sim(it is 7-yard long material wrapped as a skirt)with a cholo,a blouse that is made of locally hand-woven dhaka material. Phaee (along cloth) is wrapped around the waist to tie the sim. They always covered their heads with thakumya (a large scarf) as an accessory. they loved wearing large goldand silver ornaments. Limbu women traditionally wore a pair of Nesse (a large flat designed gold earrings), a gold mundri as a nose ring, and a dhungri, a stud nose ornament. On their hands, Limbu women wore gold or silver bangles. Silver kalli were worn as anklets. They also wore different kinds of ornaments on different occasions, ceremonies and festivals. Some of these ornaments were Phangsese (a necklace made of nine gold beads which are strung with glass beads), Labaphung (a crescent shaped gold ornament worn as a hair clip), Namloi or Yogakpa (a large silver necklece), sisiphung or nekkophung (flower shaped gold stud earrings). Also in the past Limbu females used to wear Lasari in their ears, 5 or 6 similar tiny gold rings in a row. You can still see old Limbu women in the villages dressed up in this way. All the types of clothing and ornaments women wore suggest that the Limbu economy provided adequately for their needs in those days. Traditional Limbu women looked very elegant and created a unique identity in the world. subhadra lingden(subba)
