I am never up for Nepali movie. The reason, it is annoying to watch very unprofessional acting nevertheless I do appreciate  Kollywood’s effort to keep moving on regardless of what critique like me say. My conclusion above is drawn from few movies that I have seen those which are enough to represent sample size.  But, Kagbeni , thrashed my conclusion into trash! Of course there were few loose ends such as, in the beginning of the movie, the transition of various scenes would have been smoothening out, but you know what, at the end,  movies was awesome and let me talk about the message of the movie.  Is it an outlier or is the changing trend of Nepali movie.. I am wishing it for latter.

This movie brings about our very culture and explains it all so perfect that people who have lived outside Kathmandu or at least travel across the cultures would easily reminiscence it. It also sheds light on our hopes and portrays a nice picture of current turmoil in Nepal.

 
One that struck me:

 When Baba (Sadhu) speaks in Hindi (a word) and converses in a very  different Nepali accentà It represent how diverse we are in culture but yet we are so willing to help each other regardless from what our identity is, our soul and heart is filled with kindness and love.

Ask any Foreigners why they like Nepal so much, one common message goes like this, “I like Nepal so much because the people are so nice and very helpful”. It does not matter how many times they get harassed or deceived by street vendors, outsiders, who has been to rural area or at lease out side of Kathmandu valley always have a common conclusion, as quoted above.

My point here is:

We are so good in our own unique ways for which we will always be appreciated upon. But the current uprising to break apart our very nation into mayhem that is leaning for a civil war among ethnic groups is scary since it is changing our values and norms. It is only making us worse off at the time when demand is to be the best. Those who are involved are nuisance. Our system, Yes! The government has never taken the responsibility of being incapable to handle the problem and of being shameless. No matter who comes next it will be all the same as they all look alike-hungry for power, money and shameless fame!

In sum, slowly but surely we are experiencing a change in our own culture of love peace and happiness into fear, insecure, war, distrust, disharmony. The net result- millions of Nepali are out abroad, is it better off that way though? Ask Nepali living abroad if they are happy, regardless of whatever the answer is one of the few answers would be Nepal gayera ke Garrne or Will I be able to live safe? Or even worst is will I be able to feed me and my family where there are so many public holidays, short government office hours and on top of that Bandh and even worse now is part of Nepal does not even function because we don’t have infrastructure tofunction( Durgam Chettra), the other which should function is crippled by bands from Madeshis, Limbu  and the like, the other part functions but can't function because some other parts does not function (Kathmandu). So it is not even the question of whether  one is happy or is  it better off its our necessity or forced per se to be abroad  hoping for the best.

 
In my school history text book I studied Prithivi Narayan Saha fought so hard to unite our country some hundred years ago,Wow! , leaders are fighting now so hard to break it apart . This is great we are so damn good in moving back in time something we can see only in movie in the west (Austin powers) while the demand is to leap forward. Had someone wished for this to happen for Nepal? And are we all suffering the very wish! Or Should we or can we wish for something else now?
