I got an email from my nephew in australia. I dont know if this is his original article but it is very significant and important to all Nepalese living abroad. This has been true to many lives...will happen in the future as well with many people. For a moment i paused after reading this poem and it made me think about my purpose of stay in the US. my eyes filled with tears especially when I read the last paragraph.

I hold a degree in Hotel, Restaurant and Tourism Management and would really love to move back home permanently. Nepal is a paradise for tourists and tourism employees but I do not see any scope currently....not for another 5-10 years. It really hurts that the political parties have shattered dreams of many people around the globe who want to return back home to a new and prosperous Nepal....which is limited to dreams for now. I am ready to leave behind the comfort of car, ac and other forms of materialistic comfort of the US only if the country if stable. Believe me i would not think twice about travelling in motorbike in dhuwa and dhulo in my beloved kathmandu....i wouldnt mind the heat of summer without ac........only if the country was stable. i really miss nepal...my people...family...thanks to all the corrupt political leaders in nepal for creating such circumstances. people of other nations are very lucky in the sense that they get to return to their homeland after graduating in the US. they get good pay as well as honor back in their motherland...most of all they get to be with their loved ones............

please share your feelings after reading the poem.............

नेपाल एकदिन फर्कन्छु (?!)
>
> नेपाल एकदिन फर्कन्छु,
> अमेरिकामा रमाउन सकिन्न!
> संकल्प धेरै पटक मनमा आए।
> तर, पढाइ त पुरा होस!
> कलेज – डेरा, डेरा - कलेज
> पढाई पनि सकियो।
> यतिका बर्ष बिताईयो,
> खालि हात के जानु!
>
> नेपाल एकदिन फर्कन्छु,
> अमेरिकामा रमाउन सकिन्न!
> तर केहि बर्ष जागिर त खाउँ!
> जागिर पनि खाइयो।
> डेरा – जागिर, जागिर – डेरा
> एक्लो भइएछ दुबैमा!
> तर, म एक्लो भएको कुरा
> मलाई भन्दा पहिला
> नेपालमा आमालाई थाहा भयो!
>
> नेपाल एकदिन साँच्चै फर्कन्छु,
> अमेरिकामा रमाउन सकिन्न!
> अहिले बिस दिने बिदामा आएको।
> तपाईँको कपाल कति धेरै फुलेछन् आमा!
> बुबा पनि कमजोर हुनुभएछ!
> आमा बुबालाई मनभरि हेर्न नभ्याउँदै,
> बिस दिनमा जीवन बिताउने
> सम्झौता गरियो कुनै अपरिचित संग!
>
> नेपाल एकदिन फर्कन्छु!
> अमेरिकामा रमाउन सकिन्न!
> तर अहिले अलिक मिल्दैन।
> उसको भ्याई नभ्याई छ
> मेरो बिदा उसको काम,
> उसको बिदा मेरो काम!
> फेरि छोरो पनि सानै छ!
> छोरो अलिक ठुलो त होस!
>
> नेपाल एकदिन फर्कन्थेँ
> अमेरिकामा कहिल्यै रमाइन
> तर कसलाई भेट्न जाउँ?
> साथि भाईको खबर छैन
> काका पनि ओछ्यान परे रे
> कान्छो मामा पोहोर बिते रे!
> आमा, बुबा त अब
> हरदम म संगै छन्
> मेरो यादमा, केवल यादमा!!
