where will pessimism lead us to? nowhere? back to war? bitter cold days... so, i suggest be active, support the ongoing peace initiative, avoid past mistakes and be catuious until maoist join the mainstream (after abandoning the weapons). if policitians are corrupt (which is true), politics need young and able people like us. but they say politics is a dirty whirlwind where even the cleanest of the souls end up selling themselves to the devil. But does it mean, we should stay away from it.... disengaged.. but always pointing fingers? Desh lai kehi garna politics nai garnu pardaina.. aafno input ho.. kosh le k garla kosh le aru kehi garla.. let's not be corrupt.. aru ta business gare paani, geet gaye pani, karmachari bhaye paani, pujari bhaye pani, doc-engineer bhaye paani.. kehi na kehi ta garnu nai paryo. tara, political awareness is needed to vote the right people and kick out he undeserving ones. we have to trust the future.. i see hope too.. things will not be bad forever!:-).
