It seems some you have taken offense at my posting earlier in this post.  Perhaps my fault because I might've been too abrupt.  But here's what I meant to say, in simplest terms:

1. The brochure looks good.  All projects are nice to have in Nepal.
2. But it is just a brochure that is more of a wish list.
3. Any of these will come to fruition?  Not likely to impossible.

Why?  Most of these are major projects - airports, railways, trans-himalayan roadways, etc.  Not exactly a private sector venture, so they have to be government projects with multi-lateral aid package.  And we know how these government projects go.  And look at the track record.  Not only during this Mao-badi tenure, but while other parties reigned, while Gyanendra ruled, even while Birendra was the king, you can count major projects accomplished in two hands.  Hence, I say not likely to impossible.

What I see possible and happening are small scale projects, those that can be done individually by families or in cooperation by a neighborhood or a village, or as somewhat larger money making venture that the private sector can invest in.  I don't see any of this on the poster.

Feel free to disagree, but please don't get offended.
