Many among us, learn about our National Anthem when we are in school. Some of us, don’t even care to remember the complete song, do we? May be we can remember the first part or the part that we don’ like. But it is important that a country’s national anthem must be realistic, easy to sing and remember so when we sing, it can have the power to bring us together with tears of joys.

On Friday August 3 2007 Nepal Time, Nepali Goverment scraps the old National song which was fully devoted to singing for the Royals and hence many Nepalese who didn’t favor Royals, had to sing it without vomiting!
