Nepe ji

Right said Hurray

Nepe started showing his psycho behaviour again???? He was quite for sometime, I thought he was good with the medications before. No no no, he is not ok yet. He needs more of those tabs for total rehab. He probably is trying to say that he wants to copy HUBAHU commie politics from dead commie countries and gingle some jargons like - "geopolitical situation", "decont. monarchy" "Lok tantra" "Janatantra" etc etc and finally to FREAKING ...BAAAD. He is conspitated to shiiiit these "ORIGINAL IDEAS" in public sites like sajha. What is more rediculous is Nepe now wants to copy his HUBAHU commie thing in Nepal's foreign policy - gimme a break!!!! Nepe and diplomacy..... This was a new twist in your dance Nepe - ding taka ding ding. Nachyo Nepe Nachyo. See you on next posting dear bleeding Nepe!!!!

Nepe wrote: "It's a matter of pleasure to find you and myself sharing a similar view." Sure. Since -- as I have said on Sajha before -- I like to decide issues on a case-by-case basis, rest assured that with me, strong and heated and even brutal disagreements with you or anyone else in one area will NOT spill over into ALL other areas. That's why, it's entirely possible to agree with you or anyone else on some issues, and still disagree or have divergent opinions on other matters. That said, I have little sympathy for the kind of attitude I often see in our various Nepali communities which goes like this: "If you are my friend, then you and I must agree on everything. If you and I are enemies, then we must oppose one another on everything regardless of what the merit of the issues are." I am sure that in the last 10 years, the Nepali politics has shown us all the paralysing effects of such an attitude. **** As a Nepali, one of the heart-breaking things I find these days is to travel to places across South Asia and South East Asia, and see how other countries have put or are putting their house in order to grow economically and to assert themselves in the region . . . only to see Nepal reverse its whatever meager gains to slide backward all the more. At the rate Nepal is going anywhere, it'll probably take anywhere from 10 to 25 years (if not longer) to sort out its mess -- and that means two to three generations of able Nepalis in Nepal will have to do nothing but fire-fighting and cleaning up the mess in Nepal. oohi ashu

True Ashu, it sure warrants a lot of time and effort to fire-fight, clean this up and ressurect the democratic norms. समकालीन नेपालको प्रतिविम्ब

Nepe, I thought, you were a cyber junkie. But you make Sense most of the times. I guess, I was a bit harsh on previous postings. I should not have gone that far. You and I share the common platform ? Sajha to share our thought about nepali politics. There are so many Nepalese but there are really a few who are concerned about the political affair of our country. Keep it up. Who knows, some day , we might meet in person !!!! Good luck Nepe !!!!

sd_man, Take it easy, brother. Nobody is perfect. And life is not always fair. It brings you all kinds of things. You take your share and move on. Ghalib knew it. गम-ए-हस्ती का 'असद' किस से हो जुज मर्ग ईलाज शम्आ हर रंग में जलती है सहर होने तक (कहाँ मुक्ति छ दु:खबाट साथी मृत्युले छुँदा सम्म अनेक रंगमा जलिरहन्छ बत्ती मिर्मिरे हुँदा सम्म) A candle has to burn in every shade and color until dawn. *** *** *** *** Ashu, You are right that we suffer severely from lack of democratic culture of dissent. However, I think it is more a problem related to etiquette than a problem of faulty reasoning actually. I do not think Nepalis are intellectually challanged so much as to believe that our enemies are always wrong and our friends are always right. I can tell from my experience of Nepali life that we are as intelligent as any people in the world and we do know it when our enemies are right or when our friends are wrong. We just are unable to articulate that. That's all. And the things that disable us to articulate such things are our feudalistic values of 'dignity' and 'honor'. After 1990, we indeed were supposed to learn to replace the feudalistic values of "dignity" and "honor" with the democratic culture of "respectful dissent", "graceful acceptance" and likes. But we did not. Apparently something is not right. You and I have probably different views on what is not right. In any case, I am very optimistic and believe that things are happening in a right direction, although not in a desirable pace yet. Basically our weakness is that we are weak. We can not think of fighting the strong and powerful. By saying so, I may have sounded bizarre to some, because what we have been seeing in Nepal is nothing but fight, fight and fight. How can a fighter be weak ? Well, if we look at all political fights carefully, a pattern will emerge where we will see our fighters actually targeting a weaker and vulnerable party while dispensing the stronger and robust one. I know I am making a very general and very sweeping assertion. However, I believe that I am not very much wrong. Now, to all this, we are seeing a sign of change. People are emboldened and they are targeting the most powerful and the robust one too. Now I am hopeful that perhaps now we can show our courage to fight our own "friends" and patch up with the "enemies" if and when necessary, not based on the calculation of physical strength, but based on the bold and cold calculation of moral strengths. Better and brighter days are ahead. I have never been more optimistic than I am now. Nepe
