Well, at the outset, I thank Ashu and every other Sajhaity here who joined by posting their feelings and ideas and those behind my computer screen who read all these postings with interests. After reading all these ideas and feelings, I have decided to put following comments: 1. Before starting this thread, I used to consider Ashu as a candidate for political leader, and therefore, I wanted to compare Ashu with Gagan. I got this idea of comparision based on the article in Nepal (I guess) titled :Pratyusha Onta jasta ... kina ... politics ma bhag naline.... 2. After going through all these postings and feelings of the Sajhaity, I have realized (my realization need not to match with others) that Ashu can be classfied to be closer to a diplomat, then a politician. So, I realize now that average sunny day, Diplomats and Politicians can not be compared, they are like apple and oranges. I certainly made a mistake in my attempt to compare apple and oranges.... 3. My comparision comes at the time of national crisis. At such time, even Valarie Plame's husband who was diplomat also spoke what was needed at that time and he got a fire by disclosing his wife's name for the part he played. So, diplomats should not remain silence or be perfect diplomat all the time, but they can tell the truth when time demands. 4. I am neither a friend of Gagan, nor a relative. I know him from news and but, still like his stance. I remember my best friends' room-mate was a student leader and was killed by CDO of his district when he was on his way to his home. He was caught when he landed in his district headquarter and then, taken to a river close by and shot dead by bullets. His friend was left unharmed, but as a witness. That kind of event repeat in Nepal. I know the stakes of being a student leader. Despite of such stakes, Gagan is continuing what he think is right for benefit of people. So, Gagan is great guy. Who knows whether he will remain a honest guy, or a corrupt like GRJ. I took placard "GRJ jindabad like that" for his release when he was transferred to far west nepal and jailed .... If I knew that GRJ would become so corrupt, I would certainly have not taken those placards ..... Its called hindsight 20/20. At this time, Gagan is a great guy among the nepalis of that age. 5. Well, I regret that I dragged Ashu's name here in this thread, I should not have done that. Being a leader is like a snow ball, you keep on rolling ......... You won't know at the end of day, how could you make such a big snow ball when snow on the ground is so thin or has already melted away.... I am sure that this thread has helped Ashu to be stronger and tougher than ever before... I am sorry if it has harmed him negatively, but I am sure it did not. No harm intended. Thanks to all. GP
