Not to offend you cause I've crossed you before here. I think you're talking about "values" on your posting above. Our "values" that we can literally use to collectively inspire and build our neighbour is to be blamed, not politicians. Yes, you are right, politicians are corrupt everywhere. It is the everyday "Joe" that takes the responsibility and makes the difference. We causally call it as "civilized" which is a lame word. I happen to see an interview,right here in Sajha, of a celebrity(forgot his name) who lives in the US and now has retreated back to Nepal to make some movies, very honorable work. During the interview, after a while, he mentioned that our Phd student in the US would litter with candy wrapper after eating it, and the word "civilized Vs Uncivilized" was used. I find it very disturbing that our people label every honorable actions of the Western as "civilized". I completely disagree, it is their value, nothing to do with their "civilization". To make it short, we need a social reform and change our "values". How can you make a PHd student NOT throw away the candy wrapper on the street if he had never done it, never grew up doing it, wasn't told by parents, in school, wasn't condemned by his religion, has no fear or remorse or the guilt over it? He can pretend for a while infront of his American friend, but does he literally believe it, will be do it when he's alone? Does it matter how educated he is if he has a shitty value? Is education the sole factor of our people's salvation?
Something to ponder.....
Sorry if I got distracted, my 2 cents.

Talking about Prabal, literally very proud of him. Way to go. I'm mentioning his name all the time with friends now. Every Nepali should visit his facebook page.
