Poetry Muna Madan by Laxmi Prasad Devkota Nepali book PDF free download

मुनामदन Muna Madan

Author: Laxmi Prasad Devkota
Publisher: Sajha Prakashan
First published: 1993 BS (1936 AD)
Language: Nepali

About this book

Muna Madan is a khanda kavya (narrative poem) written in the folk jhyaure rhythm and one of the best-selling Nepali books of all time. Madan leaves his wife Muna and his old mother in Kathmandu to trade in Lhasa. On his way home he falls gravely ill, is abandoned by his companions and is nursed back to life by a kind Bhote man, a moment that teaches that humanity is greater than caste. When he finally returns, Muna has already died of grief.

Devkota is often quoted as saying that all his works could be burned, but Muna Madan must be saved, which shows how dear this evergreen poem was to him.

Top Eleven Counter Formation with Tactics (2027 Guide)

Updated September 2026 for Top Eleven 2027

Picking the right counter formation is still the fastest way to win in Top Eleven, even against a stronger squad. This guide gives you a full counter-formation chart for 75 opponent formations (attacking, balanced and defensive), plus detailed breakdowns with tactics for the 8 formations you will face most often.

How to use it: find the opponent's formation (red), check whether your squad is stronger, equal or weaker, and pick the matching counter (green).

What changed in Top Eleven 2027 (and why it matters for counters)

  • Mentors arrived: each Mentor has a Tactic Boost, an Attribute Boost and a Signature Move. You set a Mentor in the Tactics tab of the Squad menu and can swap them at halftime. The first Legendary Mentors are Alan Shearer (finishing), Cesc Fàbregas (playmaking), Claude Makélélé (ball-winning) and Nemanja Vidić (defending).
  • Redesigned tactics: the tactical framework was rebuilt with more options to control how your team plays.
  • Better live match and match report: more in-match feedback and a deeper post-match breakdown.
What this means for you: formations still decide who controls each zone of the pitch, so the counters below still apply. The tactic settings use the classic Top Eleven names; in the 2027 tactics screen, pick the closest option. After each match, open the upgraded match report to check whether you really won the midfield and the flanks, then adjust. Each counter below also suggests a Mentor that fits its style.

Official source: Top Eleven 2027 is here (Nordeus Help Center)

How to read the formation codes

Many formations share the same numbers, so the letters tell you the exact shape:

N = NarrowW = WideF = Forward / FlatV = V-StyleND / WD = Narrow / Wide DiamondC = ClassicH = HexagonB = Butterfly

For example, a narrow back three (3N) is DC-DC-DC, while a wide back three (3W) is DL-DC-DR. Other tags such as ET, XT or ML mark small variants of the same shape.

3N-5-2 F2 forwards · 5 in midfield (ML-MC-MC-MC-MR) · 3 DC
3W-3N-3W-11 striker · 3 wide AMs (AML-AMC-AMR) · 3 narrow MC · DL-DC-DR

Confused by a code? Comment below and I will explain it.

The 3 golden rules of countering

1

Win the middle

Field at least one more central midfielder (DMC/MC/AMC) than your opponent. This is the most repeated advice among experienced managers.

2

Attack the empty zone

Narrow opponent: attack down both flanks. Wide opponent: go through the middle. Lone striker: push an extra player forward.

3

Match your mentality to the gap

A counter formation only works with the right mentality. Use the flow below to choose the right column in the charts.

Which column should you use?

Your squad is clearly strongerOffensive columnAttacking mentality, high press, short passing
Squads are about equalNeutral columnNormal mentality, mixed passing
Your squad is clearly weakerDefensive columnDefensive mentality, low press, force counter-attacks on

Rule of thumb, not an exact formula: compare team ratings, then factor in form, fitness and home advantage.

How to Beat Attacking, Strong & Aggressive Opponents

Three-at-the-back formations that push numbers forward. Opponent formation in red, your counter in green. Pick the column that matches your squad strength.

How to Beat 4-4-2 Classic

4-4-2 is balanced and very common, but its strength is width, not the middle. Put more bodies in central midfield and play through the gap between their lines.

ST-ST
ML-MC-MC-MR
DL-DC-DC-DR
Their strengths
  • Width on both flanks (ML/MR plus full-backs)
  • Two strikers pin both of your centre-backs
Where to hurt them
  • Only two central midfielders
  • No DMC or AMC, so there is a big gap between their lines

Frequently asked questions

What is the best counter formation in Top Eleven 2027?

There is no single best formation. Every shape can be countered, and that is why this chart exists. The most flexible counters in this guide are 4-5-1 V-Style, 3-2-2-2-1 Butterfly and 4-1-2-1-2 Narrow Diamond, because they cover most opponent formations.

Do these counters still work after the Top Eleven 2027 tactics update?

Yes. The 2027 update redesigned the tactics screen and added Mentors, but formations still decide which zones of the pitch you control. Use the settings here as a starting point, choose the closest options in the new tactics screen, and check the upgraded match report to fine-tune.

Should I change formation for every match?

Only when the opponent is close to your strength. If you are much stronger, your usual formation normally wins. Against equal or stronger teams, switching to the right counter makes the biggest difference. Keep a small set of trained formations so your players stay familiar with them.

How do I beat a stronger team in Top Eleven?

Use the Defensive column: a compact shape (5-4-1 Flat, 3-2-2-2-1 Butterfly or 4-5-1 V-Style), defensive mentality, low pressing, force counter-attacks on, and a defensive-minded Mentor such as Vidić or Makélélé.

What do N, W and F mean in Top Eleven formations?

N means narrow (for example DC-DC-DC), W means wide (DL-DC-DR or AML-AMR), and F marks a flat line or forwards pushed up. See the formation code section at the top of this guide for diagrams.

Still stuck against a formation? Comment it below with your squad rating and I will suggest a counter.

Activate and Deactivate NTC Services 2026: Stop Balance Deduction

How to activate and deactivate NTC services and stop balance deduction

How to Activate and Deactivate NTC Services (2026): Stop Unwanted Balance Deduction

Last updated: 27 September 2026 · Codes checked against Nepal Telecom's official Useful Short Codes page. Covers Namaste prepaid and postpaid mobile, plus landline and NT Fiber support.

Balance disappearing? Do these five things first

  1. Turn off pay-as-you-go data: dial *444# → option 4 → disable PAYG.
  2. Stop your caller tune: send UNSUB to 1455.
  3. Stop Missed Call Alert: dial *1400*2#.
  4. Stop Namaste Credit (loan): dial *1477# and choose deactivate.
  5. Still losing money? Call 1498 (free) and ask which value-added services are active on your number.

Most people land on this page for one reason: money is leaving their NTC balance and they don't know why. Readers in the comments below have described the same pattern for years — a game or entertainment pack subscribed by one accidental tap, a caller tune from a festival offer, or data that kept running on pay-as-you-go after a pack ran out.

This guide is organised around fixing that. First, the causes of automatic balance deduction and how to check each one. Then every NTC service that can be switched on or off, with the activate and deactivate code side by side. If you only need a code for checking balance, recharging or transferring, our full NTC USSD codes list has all of them in one place.

Why Is My NTC Balance Deducting Automatically?

Nepal Telecom does not remove balance at random. Every deduction comes from something active on your line. These are the usual culprits, roughly in order of how often they cause the problem:

  • Pay-as-you-go (PAYG) data. When a data pack runs out, mobile data used to continue at the standard per-MB rate straight from your main balance. This is the single biggest cause, and since April 2026 you can switch it off (next section).
  • Third-party value-added services (VAS). Game, puzzle and entertainment packs such as Telenet Games renew daily or weekly until you cancel them.
  • Caller Ring Back Tone (CRBT). A caller tune has a recurring subscription fee, separate from the song itself.
  • Missed Call Alert (MCA). A small recurring charge that is easy to forget about.
  • Namaste Credit repayment. If you borrowed balance, the loan and its fee are taken from your next recharge — which looks like missing money if you forgot you borrowed.
  • Recurring data packs. Some packs renew automatically at the end of their validity. Check your active packs in the Nepal Telecom app, or ask 1498 to cancel the renewal.
Check before you cancel

Dial *400# for your main balance and *1415*55# for remaining data and validity. If you have a data pack left and balance is still dropping, the cause is a VAS or caller tune rather than PAYG.

How to Turn Off PAYG Data on NTC (New in 2026)

In April 2026, Nepal Telecom added an option to disable pay-as-you-go data. With PAYG off, your mobile data simply stops when a pack ends instead of drawing from your main balance.

  1. Dial *444# from your NTC SIM.
  2. Choose option 4 (PAYG).
  3. Select Disable. You should receive a confirmation that PAYG data is disabled.

To turn it back on, repeat the same steps and choose Enable. NTC has also started sending a notification once you've used about 90% of a data pack, so keep an eye out for that message.

When to keep PAYG on

If you rely on data for something that can't stop mid-way — a ride-hailing app while travelling, or a payment in progress — PAYG gives you a buffer. For most people who buy packs regularly, turning it off is the safer default.

All NTC Services: Activate and Deactivate Codes

Every service you can switch on or off yourself, with both directions side by side. Official means the code is listed on Nepal Telecom's own short-code page. Reported means it is in use and covered by Nepali telecom news sites but not yet on that page. Unconfirmed means it comes from older guides and may have changed — if one fails, call 1498.

How to Deactivate Games, Caller Tunes and Other Paid Services

Telenet Games and other third-party packs

Game and entertainment packs are the services readers complain about most. They're usually triggered by tapping an ad or a pop-up, and they renew every week until cancelled. To cancel Telenet Games & Entertainment, send UNSUB GAMES to 1422.

Several readers have reported that this SMS returns an error or that they can't send SMS at all once the balance is drained. If that happens, don't keep retrying — call 1498 from the affected SIM, tell the agent the name of the service in the charge message, and ask them to remove it. You can also check subscribed services in the Nepal Telecom app.

Caller Ring Back Tone (CRBT)

Send UNSUB to 1455. This cancels the subscription itself, not just the current song, so the recurring fee stops.

Missed Call Alert

Dial *1400*2# or send UNSUB to 1400 to turn it off. Dial *1400*1# or send SUB to 1400 to turn it back on.

Namaste Credit

Dial *1477# and choose the deactivate option to switch off the loan service so it can't be taken by accident. Many guides also list sending STOP to 1477, but the USSD menu is the method Nepal Telecom currently lists. Any outstanding loan is still recovered from your next recharge. For eligibility and repayment details, see how to take a loan (sapati) on NTC.

Call Forwarding, Call Waiting and International Calling

These don't cost money by themselves, but a wrong setting can make your phone seem broken.

  • Calls not reaching you? Dial *#21# to see whether forwarding is active, then ##002# to cancel every diversion at once.
  • Call waiting lets a second call come through while you're on the first. Turn it on with *43# and off with #43#.
  • International calling (ISD) uses the GSM barring convention, so the codes look reversed: #331*0000# removes the bar (calls allowed) and *331*0000# sets it (calls blocked). Blocking ISD is sensible on a SIM you lend to someone.
Never dial a code a stranger reads to you

Scam callers pretending to be from NTC or a bank ask people to dial a code starting with **21* followed by a mobile number. That forwards all your calls — including voice OTPs — to them. If you've dialled one, run ##002# immediately and call 1498.

International Roaming, 4G and VoLTE

Prepaid users can activate roaming before leaving Nepal by dialling *1415*7# and choosing the roaming option, or through the Nepal Telecom app. Activation and deactivation are free, and Nepal Telecom recommends switching roaming off when you return. Postpaid roaming is arranged at an NTC office.

For 4G and VoLTE, dial *444#. If the menu says your SIM isn't 4G-capable, no code will fix it; you'll need a SIM swap at an NTC office, or you can consider an NTC eSIM.

Balance Still Deducting and You Can't Identify the Service?

  1. Read the charge SMS. Most VAS providers send a message when they charge you. The service name and short code in that message tell you where to send UNSUB.
  2. Open the Nepal Telecom app and check your subscribed services and recent usage.
