Jan 1st

You have 365 Pages to write. Start it with the best you can.

I want to share my plans for this year. Actually, it is not a plan but an inner wish to do something.

Promote Robotics and Embedded System at Higher School

This year I dream of taking classes and helping students in the field of Robotics. I shall conduct different programs and training at Higher School Levels and share the knowledge  I have gained so far.

Robotics and Art:

Along with few of my friends, we shall conduct the programs promoting street art and technology combining. Few ideas are at my head, shall try my best to implement it.

Travel :

I want to travel this year to few of the best places of my country. Will shall save my earnings or my expenses and shall travel to the unknown places. Let it be done , When I am young wild and free.

Let me meet new people, learn new culture, learn new ideas.

Hoping 2014 will be a great time for me !!!!

 Techkriti 2013
we were working together to build line tracking robot.  On the day of competition, our robot was not working. The lessons learnt from the event :
1. We build the robot which was able to track the line, but we wanted a better robot, high speed. so we were working on new algorithm, sleepless nights, and at the last moment we were unable to work and complete it. So at competition we were disqualified.
Working at Night !!

Testing of Bot



Smart Wheel Chair Locus 2013
We were able to design smart wheel chair for the different groups of physically disabled people.
The main features of chair were : Joystick Controlled, Head Movement Control, and Speech Control. This Project was appreciated by supervisors. We were able to win Locus 2013 Competition on Open Hardware Competition.

Moments:
I had a great time with my friends at club. I still remember those days and night we stayed at the club. The working , building robot, and competing on RAN Competition. During the time of power cut, playing hide and seek at the college premises at the midnight. These were awesome moments that I had.







Early Morning Inspirations !!

Its 2.30 AM , December 29 ,2013.

I am opening my laptop in search of inspiration.

The last time (yesterday) video link of CNN HERO PUSPHA BASNET  streaming.




The most exciting part of her life that inspires me, being a dropout, failed to pass SLC Examination, and doing thing making a difference. helping those kids inside the bar to be a dreamer, shaping their future.

Someday I am going to meet you mamu and would like to talk more about your works.


Searching Happiness:

This video is really gonna make you smile. Searching happiness.

The old grand mothers are happy to come and hold others children, sharing their time, helping them. They are meeting once a week, and talking, singing, dancing, and they are happy.  This reminds me of my country, my old grandfather who is probably 89 or 92.
When I go home during my holidays. Early morning, at 7, I just go to see my grandparents at my old house. My grandfather is busy studying the books, reading about Dharmas. I just listen him, and say him to explain the jest of the the readings. He smiles and say, okay I will say you. He talks about the rich behavior of God Krishna. The way of his thinking, the justice he gave to the people and pandav brothers.
I see a similar smile on his face, when he is explaining about it. He is happy . :)
He say me , you are a part of me, I am a part of you. We are same, if you have power to see me in you.
I would highly recommend to watch this video :



Positive attitude of people is most. Even a small gesture of your;s can help to make others people day. I too believe in this philosophy. Actually, I even try it in my day to day life. Sometimes, I just smile while riding bike to the unknown people at my side at traffic jams, some responds by giving a positive smile, some just ignore them.

Another Inspiring tale from Angad Daryani:

I see lots of people like angad in Nepal. Leaving school at early age seeing no future on present education.
I remember myself being a student of school and higher secondary school. I tried to gain practical knowledge. The resource that were available at my school was minimum. I still remember my school teachers who are great inspirational source.


Presently, I am engineering student. I am enrolled on 4th year, first part. During these years of engineering, I came to learn more about robotics and embedded system. At the second year of engineering, I first build line tracking robot. When I google about it, I saw the students at the age of 13,14 at the foreign school are doing better projects than us. So, why don't we promote educational workshop and training to promote robotics and school level. Along with my few friends,we decided to conduct workshop and teach higher secondary school students. Currently, we have fixed the date to conduct a workshop on two  reputed higher secondary school at kathmandu.  we am excited about it .

Nelson Mandela



My favorite Quotes of Mandela :

1.Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world

2.I am fundamentally an optimist. Whether that comes from nature or nurture, I cannot say. Part of being optimistic is keeping one's head pointed toward the sun, one's feet moving forward. There were many dark moments when my faith in humanity was sorely tested, but I would not and could not give myself up to despair. That way lays defeat and death. ( long walk to freedom)

3. The greatest glory in living lies not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.

4.As we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.

5.I am the captain of my soul.

6.One of the things I learned when I was negotiating was that until I changed myself, I could not change others.
7.After climbing a great hill, one only finds that there are many more hills to climb.

Smart Wheel Chair

My Current Project : 


Short information about it :

Smart Wheel Chair is mechanically controlled devices designed to have self-
mobility with the help of the user command. This reduces the user’s human effort 
and force to drive the wheels for wheelchair .Furthermore it also provides an 
opportunity for visually or physically impaired persons to move from one place to 
another. The wheelchair is also provided with obstacle detection system which 
reduces the chance of collision while on the journey. 


Smart wheelchair has gained a lot of interests in the recent times. These devices 
are useful especially in transportation from one place to another. The machines 
can also be used in old age homes where the old age persons have difficulty in 
their movements. The devices serve as a boon for those who have lost their 
Different types of smart wheelchair have been developed in the past but the new 
generations of wheelchairs are being developed and used which features the use 
of artificial intelligence and hence leaves a little to tinker about to the user who 
uses the wheel chair. The project also aims to build a similar wheel chair which 
would have a sort of intelligence and hence helps the user on his/her movement.
