Dada Giri, I agree with you. Giving a damn to these highway accidents by keeping tabs on them, patiently counting the number of reported victims, helping bring all this into other like-minded Nepalis' attention/awareness and, hopefully, over time, (though, at this point, I really don't know how exactly) help reduce the number of needless highway accidents in Nepal surely add up to tedious, dull, boring, time-consuming, unglamorous and "bekaar ko tauko dukhai" work. But that's all right. On a personal level, this is the kind of "small" work -- the remote POSSIBILITY that someone's life in Nepal may be spared in future because we cared enough now to spend some time to take up this issue -- that really juices me up and gets me going even though the path ahead may be murky and there certainly are no rewards . . . and that's why, it's gratiifying to count on the support of so many from this Sajha community. Meantime, with the Minister's not naming the high-level commission as of now, the point about counting the victims has become all the more urgent. I end this posting with the following link to suggest that what we are dealing with a long-standing problem, which seems to fall into no one's area of concern. -http://www.transport-links.org/transport_links/filearea/publications/1_557_PA3331_1998.pdf oohi ashu
