Liverpool is one of the biggest and famous club not only in England but around the planet.
It has been two years since that miraculous victory over AC Milan. But no repeat of the previous glory after being regular top-four finishers since the creation of the Premiership, and they achieved their highest final position of second while under Gerard Houllier’s management in the 2001/02 season. The Reds began the new era with former player Graeme Souness at the helm but it was Roy Evans who led them into the top four after taking over in 1994. Frenchman Houllier teamed up with him as joint-manager in 1998 before later taking sole charge of the team. It was under Houllier that Liverpool achieve in 2001 rare treble feat, winning a cup treble of the UEFA Cup, FA Cup and League Cup. Spaniard Rafael Benitez took the Reds success even further by winning the Champions League in Istanbul in 2005 and leading them to Champions League final again this time around as they lose to the same team AC Milan.
Liverpool’s most successful players in the Premiership have been homegrown talents, with the generation of Robbie Fowler and Steve McManaman eventually giving way to Michael Owen (now with Newcastle), Jamie Carragher and Steven Gerrard. Rafa Benitez has added some foreigners in the Merseyside team adding strength and depth in the likes of Xavi Alonso, Momd. Sissoko, Luis Garcia. Further the likes of John Arne Risse and Steve Finnan has now been performing their best for the team. It’s still unfortunate that one trophy that is eluding the Reds is the most coveted trophy in England - the Premiership title. Now overtaken by the foreign owners some cash is being injected to the club, let's see if this is the year the Reds are going to win the Premiership.

Traffic Problems
Traffic problems have been serious in big cities. As people dwelling in big cities are more so are the vehicles running on the road. More number of vehicles is being added in the roads but the road is limited or constant. So the problem of congestion occurs due to the increase in number of vehicles.
Like many big cities of the world Katmandu being the capital city of Nepal is also facing serious problems due to traffic jams occurring due to vehicles especially on the peak hours. People can’t get out of traffic jams in few minutes; sometimes it may take more than half hour to get out of jam. This has cause a serious affect for those working professional those who has to reach on time. Further for emergency vehicles like ambulances and fire-extinguisher vehicles if they stuck in jam there is very little chances that the vehicle will come out of the jam in few minutes. This will be the most devastating effect of all.
Another traffic problem in Katmandu is due to reckless driving. Some vehicles driver is driving recklessly increasing not only his/ her death chances but others pedestrians also. Recently, almost everyday we have to listen to causalities due to vehicle accident.
Government should formulate proper laws against such thing. Also has to educate citizens about traffic knowledge in schools as this is not being practiced in Nepal.

Success and Luck
There may or may not be a correlation between success and luck. Different person have different opinions about success and luck. Some think that both are related while some disagree. Success refers to the ability of a person to achieving his career goals with hard work, dedication and proper motivation. Luck may simply be called a stroke of gift by god.
Becoming successful is no means a joke. Accomplishing dreams are really a big thing in everyone’s life. Many try to accomplish dreams they have with them since their childhood but very few are successful in carving their life model in pursuit of their goals. But taking the way of leading a successful life through hard work and dedication will definitely lead you to the forefront in your life.
People waiting for lady luck to shine in their life are lazybones. They have nothing but just wonder in their life where luck will shine in their life.
But, one thing to take notice is that those things earned by us through hard work and perseverance are much more worth than those earned simply by doing nothing. Perhaps we may not feel the thing we got by luck if we lose it. But if we lose those thing earned by our hard work we definitely feel grieved.
Success is for who dream and aspire their goals in life. Luck simply is a god’s willingness to share his fortune.

Pokhara
Pokhara is one of the most beautiful cities of Nepal. It is also one of the most popular tourist destinations in Nepal. The Seti River which flows through the heart of the city has dug impressive canyons in the valley floor.
Pokhara has Fewa Lake in its periphery. A number of Himalayan ranges namely Dhaulagiri, Annnapurna and Manaslu can be viewed from the city itself. When the shadows of Mt. Macchaphusre (Fish tail) fall on the Fewa Lake, the whole scenario becomes a very awesome treasure to cherish forever.
There are also many caves located in Pokhara. Some notable ones are Mahendra and Gupteshwar. Further there is a gorgeous fall named Devi’s fall (Patle Chango). This fall has been created by the waters from Fewa Lake.
The people residing in Pokhara mainly are from Brahmin, Newar, Magar and Gurung. The climatic condition is also favorable for living though it is one of the rainiest parts of Nepal.
Tourists further make Pokhara their way to go towards Annapurna Base Camp, Jomsom and Mustang.
There are many temples and monasteries in Pokhara. Barahi temple, Bindhyabasini temple and World Peace Stupa are some of the major religious place. One notable thing about Barahi temple is that it is located on the tiny island on Fewa Lake.

Pokhara is really a nice and beautiful city blessed by god for its natural beauty.

Peace
In this today’s world every single individual has become selfish. Everyone is struggling to rise above one another. There is a situation where there is no harmony between humans. They are all fighting with each other like animals. Peace has become a word that is just learnt in a dictionary. It has become obscure in real life.
Many interaction forums, debate is being held throughout the world but to no avail. The person who is promising peace is the one who are breaking it. Everywhere there is a chaotic situation. No one’s mind is settled. The nature, environment is even polluted and there is hardly anyplace left on earth where one can find solace.
To bring peace we should really have a pure heart without any ill intentions. Our vision should be clear so as our mind. Making peace within our inner soul is the very first step towards the way to peace. If every individual starts to think and try to do so than really we will not take much time to make our world peaceful.
An imagination of peaceful world has just become illusion which can never be obtained in reality. No one has peace inside them. All are affected one way or the other with various tensions. All these tensions create more pressure in our mind which in turn unsettles us and finally making us all full of anger and troubles. Peace will never enter in our community whenever there is such situation.
People go to meditation to find peace. Yet they can get peace only at the time of meditation when they are out of it the problems and troubles are always hanging behind them never giving peace in mind.
