Hi guys, Many thanks to all of you for posting your comments and thanks to all others who have taken their time to read my views. I have taken note of your comments and I will try to address the issues on which you have expressed your dissatisfaction, scepticism or a demand to suggest a better alternative. Before that, let me make clear to all of the viewers/readers that I am just an ordinary sajhaitte like you all making use of this forum to express my opinions and to read other's. I am neither a politician or his/her relative nor a political commentator. I have neither benefitted from the politicians or the King, nor I have personally been subjected to injustice by both the parties. Yes, I must admit that I have been a silent spectator of the wrongdoings committed by politicians for the last 12 years and again a silent spectator for the next 3 years when the King misused his constitutional superiority to make grounds for assuming absolute authority, which he did on Feb 1st. And yeh, a silent spectator of the heinous crimes committed by the Maoists for the last 10 years(I am scared some of you may call me a maoist if I had forgotten to include this sentence). I wouldn't have been a silent spectator, if I was powerful enough to stop them. If I had a magic wand or some miraculous power to solve all these problems without harming any body, I would have simply done that. But sorry guys I am not that powerful or resourceful, I can't please you all with my opinions. Even God(if he/she has real existence) cannot do justice to everybody he/she creates, how could I? One of the friends made an analogy between me and John Kerry, one asked me to provide a realistic alternative without the involvement of the King, another wished to take Dashain Tika from me and another gentleman(thank you very much for your kind offer though) proposed me to be the leader of Sajha. ehh hhe I wish I could fulfill your expectations by producing a magical wand- PRESTO. Just to let you know I am a simple man with a simple mind, turning 25 this February Happy birthday mate(to myself) - coming near. I have been living in the west for the last 2 years only. Before that, I was born in a poor farmer's family in Nepal, schooled in a low cost private school and government college, endured most of the hardships(not all, though) that lower middle class people experience and lived 23 years of my life in Nepal. So I have as much love as other Nepalese have to my country. I have great respect to our culture, community and estabilishments as well as a very good respect to our great tradition of Monarchy. I am a nationalist by every virtue. Also, I am a democrat(not a supporter of the Democratic party in the US but democracy- do not be misguided frens), a peace-monger and an optimist. Therefore, I don't think I should be reminded of these ideologies while engaging in a thoughtful discussion.My intentions are just to try to achieve a concurrent point of ideas with as many Sajhaittes as possible where our divided attitudes and understanding about Nepal's problems will meet and make a common ground. Which will subsequently give us an idea about what to do from our part to help everybody who are trying to help our country. Many words to describe myself, accept my sincere apologies. Now back to our discussion. As I said earlier I have no special plans to sail out Nepal throught the tidal waves of violence and instability.But I have got my own ideas envisaging the realistic chances to get the country out from the current quagmire. The King is the most powerful man in Nepal at present. He has got the greatest authority and resources. So like many of you, I also think he is the last resort to bailing our country out of trouble. I expect from him as much as many of you do, but I don't think he is going to live up to our expectations after seeing his actions for the last three years and more importantly for the last week.This is my point. Now, what next then? WHat would I do if I were a King? Ok lets suppose I am a KIng of Nepal for the moment. Let me tell you what I am going to do in this situation as King Gyanendra. No offence please, some of the guys have asked me about my plans, so let me explain 1. What would I do If I were a King?(implies to what the King needs to do at present) - Hypothetical aspect 2. What I (and we) need to do as a conscious, educated citizen of Nepal? - Realistic aspect. First on Q No. 1. To be contd.....
