Captain, I haven't have chance to give you compliments myself. However, I have been quietly witnessing how you have been so meticulously and patiently explaining to not so easy audience of Sajha the complex and often chaotic and yet amazingly steady transformation Nepal is going through and have found myself in awe with your intellect, perseverance and ability to explain ordinarily unexplainable things, not to mention the first rate information and discussion you bring here on art, money matters and current affairs. I have become one of your great and silent admirers in Sajha. And whoever said it, "stretcher diplomacy" does capture the uniquely Nepali yet damn successful strategy employed by our under-appreciated political leadership -- to have things done in adversity and with limited resources. Might not be as glorious as this one, however the "oxygen politics" of the senior Koirala also seems to have done wonders at times. If I have to name three unique wisdom for the world to learn from Nepal's recent experience, I will name "Stretcher Diplomacy", "April Revolution" and "Oxygen Politics" :-) *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** Chicago Bull, Thanks. I do hope so. As for our leaders' physical or otherwise fitness, what one friend in Nepal Democracy forum said strikes me. He said our leaders are a sample of ourselves. Brought me this sher by my favorite Shayar Nida Fazli immortalized by the voice of Jagjit Singh, जब किसी से कोई गिला रखना सामने अपने आईना रखना And if our politicians are a sample of ourselves, they are our mirror, no ?
