Nepal

Nepal (i/nəˈpɔːl/;Nepali: नेपाल [neˈpal]), officially the Federal Democratic Republic of Nepal, is a landlocked country located in South Asia. With an area of 147,181 square kilometres (56,827 sq mi) and a population of approximately 27 million, Nepal is the world's 93rd largest country by area and the 41st most populous country. It is located in the Himalayas and bordered to the north by China and to the south, east, and west by India. Nepal is separated from Bangladesh by the narrow Indian Siliguri Corridor and from Bhutan by the Indian state of Sikkim. Kathmandu is the nation's capital city and largest metropolis.

The mountainous north of Nepal has eight of the world's ten tallest mountains, including the highest point on Earth, Mount Everest (Nepali: सगरमाथा Sagarmāthā). More than 250 peaks over 20,000 ft (6,096 m) above sea level are located in Nepal. The southern Terai region is fertile and humid.

Hinduism is practiced by about 81.3% of Nepalis, the highest percentage of any country. Buddhism is linked historically with Nepal and is practiced by 9% of its people, followed by Islam at 4.4%, Kiratism 3.1%, Christianity 1.4%, and animism 0.4%. A large portion of the population, especially in the hill region, may identify themselves as both Hindu and Buddhist, which can be attributed to the syncretic nature of both faiths in Nepal.

These 3 different regions were divided among sons of Jayabidyadhar Pandit where ownership of "Nepa" was granted to 1st son Sarwagyadhar Nepal.

    Moon Blue

    by: Stevie Wonder

    Moon blue, rivers of love you shine, Bathe me in light sublime
    Flood me with all your glowing heart can give
    Moon blue, memories bind like chains
    When will you come again
    I wait in darkness just for your bright to beam
    'Cause I'm not afraid of the consequence
    Of being in love with you
    And I'd rather be alone some nights
    Awaiting your full hue
    For though the sun makes bright the day
    My world is dark when there's no you
    You light my skies and make dark night bright day, Moon blue
    Moon blue, your beauty's seen by all, the yearning of your call
    Travels the world and then makes home my soul
    Moon blue, lift me to starry heights, I long to live within your light
    Solace of mind, my heart is yours for always
    'Cause I'm not afraid of the consequence
    Of being in love with you
    And I'd rather be alone some nights
    Awaiting your full hue
    For though the sun makes bright the day
    My world is dark when there's no you
