About:
औषधी यस्तो चीज हो जसमा प्रयोगकर्तालाई छनौटको अधिकार हुँदैन, डाक्टरले जे लेख्यो त्यसैलाई उपयोग गर्नु पर्छ। त्यसबाहेक गाउँ होस या शहर; बिरामी पर्दा अस्पताल र डाक्टरकोमा जाने भन्दा पनि पहिले औषधी पसल जाने र पसलले जे दियो त्यही औषधी खाने चलन अधिकाशं नेपालीको छ । तर देशभरि अनुमति लिएका भन्दा नलिएका औषधी पसलहरु धेरै भएको व्यवसायीहरु बताउँछन। यस्तो अबस्थामा मानिसहरुले गुणस्तरीय औषधी पाईरहेका छन त? ढुक्क भएर औषधी उपयोग गर्न सक्ने अवस्था छ कि छैन ? आजको साझा सवालको वहस।
यथेष्ट डाक्टरहरु छैनन, स्वास्थ्यकर्मीहरु छैनन, औषधी बेच्न दक्ष जनशक्तिको पनि अभाव छ। तैपनि बिरामी हुँदा औषधीको गुणस्तर, मूल्य आदि बिचार गर्नु भन्दा पनि जे फेला पर्छ त्यसमै भर नपरि सुख छैन।
आज हामी औषधीको गुणस्तर, नाफाखोरी, औषधी विक्री वितरण गर्नेहरुको योग्यताका बारेमा छलफल गर्दै छौं। छलफलमा हामीसंग हुनुहुन्छ: औषधि व्यवस्था विभागका निर्देशक राधारमण प्रसाद- नेपालमा औषधीको गुणस्तर परिक्षण गर्नेदेखि बजार अनुगमन गर्ने र औषधी उत्पादन, वितरण र औषधी पसल राख्नेसम्मको अनुमति यही विभागले दिने गर्छ । अनि, डा. अरुणा उप्रेती - जनस्वास्थका विषयमा अधिकारकर्मी र उमेशलाल श्रेष्ठ - औषधी उत्पादक संघका अध्यक्ष पनि यो बहसमा हुनुहुन्छ ।

She returns to her village and lives there for a couple of months until she sees one of her relations passing by there on her way to somewhere else. Binodini hails the woman and the two soon agree that it would be best if Binodini came to live with the woman and her son, Mahendra (who, by the way, was one of the first to see Binodini's photo when she was unwed and up for grabs yet refused her on account of his being "unready for marriage"). Now, when the two arrive the woman's son and his new bride are in the throes of passion, constantly sneaking off to be alone together; this infatuation does not last long, however, when Mahendra begins to see that his wife's friend, Binodini, is more his type. The story details the lives of these three and Mahendra's best friend as they deal with certain issues as distrust, adultery, lies, and numerous fallings-out between them. The movie correctly depicts what Tagore so skillfully wrote and is a sad, stirring tale of the deceit and sorrow that come from being unsatisfied and unhappy.

Sugar And Spice (2006)

Synopsis:
Shiro (Yuya Yagira) is a 17-year-old Fussa native, fresh from high school graduation, who finds himself standing in that ambivalent “no man's land" between adolescence and adulthood, ready to strike out on his own but uncertain whether to trust his underdeveloped instincts. He shirks off college, much to the dismay of his conventional parents who barely register in his life, and takes a job at a gas station for no other reason than a vague ambition to do something with cars.

While Shiro still races around town on his bicycle and rents porn flicks with his boyhood pals, he's keenly reminded that this part of life is quickly ending when he sees his two best friends willingly trade in their childhood pursuits for college and “true love" − of the same girl. “I've yet to know what that feels like," confesses Shiro, who has a sense of the vital role love plays in a person's coming of age but feels personally removed from it. Like a self-fulfilling prophecy, however, Shiro stumbles across a public breakup scene one evening between a man in a white car and a college girl, Noriko (Eriko Sawajiri). Days later, Shiro is surprised to see the same girl arrive at the gas station as the newly-hired help, and even more alarmed at his loss of composure in front of her. He is love-struck, and his bittersweet initiation into adult life begins.

Memories Of Matsuko ()

Grotesque (2009)

Synopsis:
Whereas Hostel was for kids, Grotesque is for adults. This is billed as the “cruelest Japanese splatter movie ever” and it truly lives up to that billing. It is no small relief that the film lives up to its Movie title, a torture porn genre that has largely taken over the horror field. No CGI effects here, just sadistic violence that rarely flinches away, use of excellent makeup and prosthetics and shot very convincingly.

Needless to say, in the finest tradition of Japanese gore cinema, the plot is minimal, with a young couple played by AV actress Nagasawa Tsugumi and Kawatsure Hiroaki (recently in “OneChanbara”) being snatched off the street, only to wake up shackled in a grimy basement. Without even having the decency to explain why, a particularly sadistic madman (Osako Shigeo) proceeds to degrade, torture and mutilate them. This film is not for the faint of heart.

Delhi Belly (2011)

Synopsis:
Delhi-based Sonia agrees to deliver a package for Vladimir Dragunsky and asks her rather unkempt and debt-ridden fiancé, Tashi Malhotra, to do it for her. Tashi, in turn, asks one of two of his room-mates, Arup. But Arup forgets to do so due to an upset stomach ailment commonly known as 'Delhi Belly' as well as his plan to blackmail their landlord, Manish and asks the third roommate Nitin to deliver the package. A gangster, Somayajulu, who was the recipient of this package, starts by brutally questioning Vladimir, and finds out that the package may be in the possession of the trio. While Tashi must deal with his attraction for Journalist Menaka and incur the wrath of her husband, Rajiv, he still has to fully come to terms whether or not he wants to marry Sonia. And the entry of ruthless Somayajulu and his gang seriously jeopardizes any plans Tashi and his friends may have for the future.
