hahaha.. thapap, your assertion put me in splits. what assertion? if we were not involved in politics? one does not need to be involved in politics. politics have a direct/indirect effect on people, regardless of they involved in it or otherwise. if politics of a country is running smooth, everything else will come in shape and speed, sooner or later. may be you were born in a privileged family. what do you know of nepal, i mean in practical terms. when you finished your high-school you came to US and then never went back again to work. ask a poor, ask a dalit..who have to work everyday to earn their bread, who never had their share of basic needs. or ask someone who fared well in his education and wants to do something for the country. ask him, how many sways and turns he has to make in order to satisfy the system. ask him how things would have worked in his favor if he was from a class family or if he had enough connections. we are in a transient phase in the process of moving towards new nepal...hustles and bustles are expected...power is being re-shed in more scientific ways..society is being restructured . some people are expected to bark. some will create confusion. some will try to revert the process. if we (assumed educated) lose our cool, then what do you expect out of a normal citizen. note: excuse me for the possible typos and grammatical/structural errors.
