Shiva: Sexy, Successful, Sports-star!

NewsNET East profiles another really 'hot' bod: our very own North eastern Gorkha boy, whom all of us in Sikkim, Darjeeling. Shiva is away at Kazakhstan and we hope to read that he's qualified for the Olympics.




The Guwahati-born Shiva is a prototype of a modern youth with a lot of dreams, reflected in his eyes, demeanour and everything he does. So, it is not surprising if he is seen on Facebook or speaks fluent English or gives you a quotable quote from the great Muhammed Ali.

Sport is in his blood and Shiva has banked on it. “My father (Padam Thapa) was a practitioner of martial arts. He put me into boxing and I liked it,” says Shiva, who donned the gloves at the age of seven. Shiva's gloves made so much of an impact within the family that his elder brother Gobind also followed suit and emerged a National-level boxer.

Bowled over by the techniques of Mike Tyson, the 18-year-old thinks that skills and intelligence assume equal importance in a physical sport like boxing.



Training@home in 2010
Shiva, studying in Std. XII, by no means is an ordinary student and does the balancing act well despite going through the rigours of training at the Army Sports Institute (Pune).

Victory at 17 years!




Like every young boxer, he too nourishes hopes of getting an Olympic medal for the country. He lives the dream and it is mirrored even in his favourite pastime: music.
So, if one notices the song ‘We are the champions' on his Facebook profile, one can only reply ‘amen!'
The young and hard-working boxer has achieved a lot and it is imperative that he does not to fritter away all the good work.

Just like Baichung Bhutia, Shiva has become a role model for young people from the North-East... he's a guy wth a hot body and a hot career ahead.
Welcome at Guwahati

Souvik, Social Activist, Mind reader

NewsNET introduces SOUVIK, the Magician


Souvik shares his photos and tells us something about himself:



Social activist and T-shirt designer

Well, Souvik means Magician :). I am simple, down to earth, smiling 24X7, always believe in present and  live in present. I am from Kolkata, the city of joy.

By profession, I am a social worker. I am working on gender, sex, sexuality and sexual health issues with Solidarity and Action Against The HIV Infection in India (SAATHII). 
I love to be connected with people and their emotions. So, I am designated in my NGO for providing training and technical support to the different groups. I also love to read people's mind: so psycho-social counselling is my passion. 

Music is my reflection and I live each and every moment with music through singing and listening to different kinds of music


Friends are my strength point as I love to spend time with them and trust me, I have an amazing friends circle.

I have my own range of T-shirts and other accessories on gender, sexuality, HIV and youth issues. These are self designed and the brand name is "T&T".

My favorite colour is black as for me Black does not symbolize darkness, it develops personality and gives a dignity and confidence. But, it does not mean that I have any allergy with other colors. I love all colors to paint my life.

My star sign is Taurus 

My tag line: I believe is Blah Blah Blah, because it aslo carries important messages!
