As the year draws to an end, there are a number a things that will come to each individual's mind when we look back at 2006. In general, what kinds of events in the arena of music, movies, literature, sports, world affairs, politics etc would you associate with the year which we are going to leave behind? To me as a Nepalese, the historic Peace Accord cannot be overlooked as we had been hoping and praying for that miraculous day for almost a decade. There are a number of hurdles to be overcome in our young democracy, but we shall survive all of them and learn from out mistakes. Let's all do our best to safeguard our inborn rights for pursuit of happiness (without violating the right of others) and at the same time we need to act with responsibility and collectively for the good of the nation irrespective of what our inborn backgrounds are. Last but not the least, all the people who have lost their lives in the conflict, they all lived a worthwhile life. Coming to the music part (what a sudden transition I acknowledge HAHA!), I think this is one of the best songs, I will associate 2006 with, for the rest of my days ahead. While the lyric sounds rather depressing, it is in fact trying to uplift the spirit of a frustrated individual going by the day. For instance, the line 'where is the passion when you need it the most?' can testify to that. Definitely, my song of the year and here it goes. I urge you to express yourself so that I can get all of your points of view about the passing year as I am certain the year was as special as every other year in our invaluable lives. Wish you all sajhaites a Happy New Year 2007 as well.
