Our obsession with Nepalese achievement. Re: Shrin khala ki makhula

I get it. We as Nepalese citizens have continuously been disappointed with our fate. The fate of being a landlocked country with less access to resources. The fate of being bullied by India. The fate of our political sufferings, and countless others. On the whole, we are constantly seeking for something to be proud of. Our upbringing, our culture, our religion all have hinted that we Nepalese are great people. We are supposed to be proud Nepalese. We are supposed to be blessed.

While all traditional, historical and ethnic sentiments point to a glorious state of existence, we are left seeking with concrete examples of such greatness. For lack of any worthy examples, we have been left finding solace in the great big hardened rock called Mount Everest which stands glorious on it's own without any Nepali person having anything to do with the greatness besides being born in Nepal. Another entity that we find solace in our greatness is the luck of being born in the same country as Lord Buddha who preached peace all over the world, yet we are prepared to be violent and fight those who even dare to question the birthplace of Buddha.

Yes, we are constantly seeking for that gratification of being Nepalese by finding an idol who we can look up to so we can say we also come from the same country. So that we can share some pride in someone else's achievement as our own since we have been void of such a celebration for so long.

We will do everything in our power to vote 100 times so that some Nepalese will win an international title and we can proudly enjoy the moment. We are an irony. We want to be proud of some unknown, unrelated person to be the winner so our name is known all over the world, yet we are well known for pulling legs, back biting and bringing our own friends and relatives down if they ever achieve anything. 

Surprisingly, I have not seen any other people of other countries who want to be so proud of their country like the Nepalese! We are proud Nepalese! We love Nepal! Let's do everything possible to make Shrinkhala Win!!


PS: Just thinking out aloud. Don't take it too seriously!
