During the 7th UN Road Safety Week, an enlightening road trip cartoon exhibition was organized in collaboration with the Nepal Road Safety Council, Nepal Police, Rotary Club International, Road Safety Society of Nepal, and Cartoonist Club of Nepal. From May 15 to 18, visitors had the opportunity to explore 30 remarkable cartoons by 26 talented cartoonists. Among the thought-provoking artworks, Deepak Gautam's cartoon stood out, shedding light on the tendencies of road users and emphasizing the importance of following traffic rules. In this blog, we will dissect Gautam's cartoon, focusing on its message and the artistic elements that make it noteworthy. Gautam's cartoon portrays a father and his young son traveling on a motorcycle along a city road. Alongside the road, a traffic sign clearly indicates a prohibition on making right turns. Curiously, the son asks his father about the meaning of the sign. In response, the father jokingly explains that the presence of a traffic

Today, I want to share an cartoon I created for the recent cartoon exhibition held at the Nepal Art Council, Babarmahal, on the occasion of the United Nations 7th Road Safety Week. I'm excited to have one of my cartoons displayed among the 30 captivating artworks by 26 cartoonists. In this blog post, I will provide a detailed description of my cartoon and the underlying message it conveys about the importance of responsible driving and road safety. Depicting the Consequences of Speeding: The focal point of my cartoon revolves around the ominous presence of two personified accidents engaged in a conversation. Placed on a highway, they are anxiously awaiting a ride while exchanging a haunting remark: "Don't wait too long. The car is coming faster." This dialogue aims to convey a strong message that driving at high speeds significantly increases the risk of accidents. Visual Representation: To accentuate the foreboding nature of the accidents, I portrayed them with human

बिहान फुटसल खेल्न जाँदैथिएँ । क्यास थिएन । मनमैँजुको एनआइसी एसियाको एटिएम बुथमा एकजना रिसिप्टका पत्कर उठाउँदै थिए । भने — 'मिसिन चलिरहेको छैन ।' त्यहाँबाट गोंगबु चोक पुगेँ । 'ग्लोबल आइमइको चलिरहेको छ कि ?'भनेर गएको त्यो पनि चलेको छैन ।  नजिकै नेपाल इन्भेस्टमेन्ट बैंकको एटिएम बुथमा गएको । त्यो पनि — आउट अफ सर्भिस ।  फेरि ज्योती बिकाश बैंककोमा गएको 'प्लिज इन्सर्ट योर कार्ड' पो भन्छ ! 'हैन के अचम्म हो ?' भनेर हत्त न पत्त कार्ड हुल्छु त - 'सरि ! योर ट्रान्जेक्सन ह्याज विन टर्मिनेटेड' भन्छ ।  नजिकै हिमालयन बैंकको बुथ रहेछ । हेरेँ— भित्र मान्छे रहेछन् । कामै लाग्ने मेसिन राख्या छ कि भनेर एकछिन गदगद भएँ । भित्रको मान्छे एक मिनेटमा आउला भन्यो - आउँदैन ! दुई मिनेटमा आउला भन्यो आउँदैन । ५ —७ मिनेट भएसी सोच्छु — भित्र के गरिरहेको छ मान्छे ? योगा गर्न नि पर्याप्त स्पेस हुन्न । प्रणायम्, ध्यान गर्न नि उपयुक्त ठाउँ होइन । त्यति साँघुरोमा ४ जना छिरेर कलब्रेक खेल्ने कुरा पनि भएन । भित्र न त पानी होस् —न त माछै । ढोक्सा थापेर बस्ने कुरा नि भएन । एउटा हार्मोनियम ल

कि रण मानन्धर होस्टल गए । बोर्डमा लेखिएथ्यो– रुया होस्टल । देख्दै भव्य दरबारजस्तो । त्यहाँ मेडिकलका विद्यार्थी बस्ने रहेछन् । चारजना विद्यार्थी बस्ने रहेछन्– देख्दै डरलाग्दा । मोटा ज्यान भएका । पाखुरा ठूला भएका । बक्सिङ प्रतियोगितामा भाग लिन तयारी गरिरहेकाजस्ता । लामा दाह्री भएका, पहलमानजस्ता ।   ‘वनारस है ! छुरा हान्ने, रिवाल्वर हान्ने ! गुन्डा बस्ने ठाउँ । बाटो हिँड्दा पनि राम्ररी हेरेर हिँड्नुपर्ने । खाल्डो हुन सक्छ । खाल्डोमा हालेर भक्कुमार कुटेर लुटपाट गरेर हिँड्न सक्छन् ।’  किरणले काठमाडौंमा साथीहरूले भनेको झलक्क सम्झिए । ‘धत् ! सुतेको वेलामा यिनीहरूले मेरो घाँटी न्याके भने ? मेरो जुडो–कराँते त कामै लागेन नि ! परान गैगो नि ।’  कोठाको भित्तामा एउटा राम्रो पेन्टिङ झुन्ड्याएको देखे– डा. राधाकृष्णको । ‘कलाकार रहेछन् भने त नकुट्लान् कि ?’  उनले सोधे, ‘यहाँ कलाकार नि बस्छन् कि क्या हो ?’ हिन्दी र अंग्रेजी दुवै नजान्ने किरणले सोधेको उनीहरूले बुझेनन् । ट्वाल्ल परेर हेरे । त्यो देखेर किरणलाई झन् डर लाग्यो ।  यसरी भएन । उनले बाहिरबाट चारवटा इँटा ल्याए । आफू सुत्ने खाटमा दुईपट्टि राखे ।  उन
