Last year, one of my friend visited Nepal. His house is in Baneshwor. When he was returning from friends place, it was around 11 pm, few guys surrounded him and ask what he had. He showed whatever he had (it was 2000 Rs.) and gave....he was so thankful that he was saved. This year it is at peak...like killing in Iraq..looting is common in Kathmandu..Even police person was looted in bus and badly beaten by group of PickPocks last week. Low education, high ambition (of life style), no security, no law, no trust between each other.....may be are few among many reasons.. Looting is so easy money...and you also know people respect Gundas (whoever can raise finger to Chakre, Deepak Manage, R. Gorkhali.....and so on!!). These are bigs...Small Chors are so strongly motivated that even if police catches them, beats them and law sends them for 2 year or less prison (I think there is no long prisonment for looting) they dont find any problem..They can so easily earn....within one hour in the range of lakhs...(you know hos dificult it is to earn 100 Dollar, we have to work whole day)...they are ready to bear all torture.... I just can imagine how good was Nepal before around 20 years....people could stay anywhere in the night, walk with money and valuables even in the night...and now....it is going always worsening but not improving.... DAMN IT....
