Most of the politically aware people that I have talked to in KTM have begun to lose any hope they had from the parties. Especially with these politicians trying to join hands with the Maoists. Most people here are more interested in having a stable lifestyle than anything else. These are common Nepali people like small grocery owner, rickshaw driver, the 'aamai' who makes tea outside ratna park. For me the betterment of the lives of the common people is more important than the so called democracy in Nepal which unfortunately becomes the means for few select individuals (politicians) to cash in while they have 15 minutes of Power. Along the pursuit of which, the lives and the livelihood of these common people are neglected and ignored.
