KATHMANDU, June 19: Owning your own vehicle might mean different things to different people. For some, it’s a basic necessity, for some it means independence, while others own vehicles out of passion or just for fashion. Kathmandu roads are pretty hectic, be it for riders who have lots of experience, or those who have just started riding.

We talked to young college-goers about their experiences on wheels and off them. In this edition of Campus Talk, ten students of Malpi Institute in Gairidhara discuss the ‘good’ and ‘bad’ of Kathmandu roads and dig out their riding memories. [More]

China's Xi harks back to Mao in party 'cleanup'
ASSOCIATED PRESS

BEIJING, June 20: China´s new leader Xi Jinping is commanding wayward Communist Party cadres to purify themselves of corruption, and he´s summed it up in a pithy slogan as Mao Zedong might have done: Look in the mirror, take a bath.

China´s leadership wants to show a cynical public that it´s modernizing and serious about graft, but it appears to be favoring a top-down ideological campaign — with study sessions, self-criticism and propaganda — over imposing real checks on power. That worries many observers, not only because they doubt it will work, but because the tactic appears to be ripped out of the playbook of Mao, the founder of Communist China. [More]
