The good times have never seemed so good for one nepali worker who found a diamond Saturday in Doha.
Raj Kumar , a construction worker from Nepal, found a 4.68-carat white diamond while working on his road construction site.

Raj Kumar came to Qatar from the hilly district in north east Nepal in 2008.

He found the weather unbearable while working at a road construction site.
He knew that it was hot in Qatar, but that it was so hot came as a surprise to him.

"My problem was further compounded by fatigue due to the excessive heat.I thought of returning to Nepal and repeatedly asked my employer to send me back.Now, I don't need to work for 600QR per month anymore." he said.

He named the diamond "Gyanendra of Nepal" after his King.

“Lack of employment opportunities within the country has drive up the number of Nepali workers seeking overseas jobs even for meager remuneration. But now, Raj Kumar is a rich man.” Dilli Ram Sharma, director of Department of Labour and Employment Promotion (DoLEP) said.

This it's a good-quality 4.68-carat diamond and could be worth upwards of $38000 (2,864,972 Nepalese Rupee)

With his actual salary (150$/Month)he'll need 253 months to earn 38.000$!!

Google is funny, it did detect Nepali

We are not yet able to translate from Nepali into English.

मेरो समस्या थियो अझै अघि चोम्पोउन्देद् थकाइ रिण अत्यधिक ताप |

Theo Mero problem Rin excessive heat Thkai Chompounded Aja Agi |

damn it, i tried to translate from nepali to English.. :):) this translator is only English-Nepali way..

but guess what? I have got the same result:

"My problem was further compounded by fatigue due to the excessive heat." = "मेरो समस्या थियो अझै अघि चोम्पोउन्देद् थकाइ रिण अत्यधिक ताप |"

and what is that "|" at the end? does it mean "heat"? or "."?

even this dictionary cannot translate it correctly .. look what result it gives to me:

Please! Use proper punctuation marker like full stop(.), question mark(?) and exclamatory symbol(!) at the end of each sentence.
