In all this chaos, I think we have to take time to appreciate the current government while we can.

This is probably the first time security forces, specially Nepal Army, to a high extent is used to conduct a safe election. Leaders in the past had their own motives and enforcing a strict election policy would backfire on them. Regmi Government, at least on surface, has been very unbiased with the focus to conduct a safe and sound election. While the incidents of explosions have been reported, few friends mentioned how safe they felt when they saw public transports being escorted by security forces.

We sure could use this government for a longer duration, but the fact is Nepal Maoists will again claim to be the largest party (no clear majority) and then we will have political negotiations where people end up losing every single time. Don't forget their agenda of dividing Nepal by ethnic groups.

I am also appreciative that youth are taking the leadership role (Go Bibeksheel), rather than just being the sticks for the older leaders.
