Tilapia,
Once again, my earnest apology for the idea of frying you deep in Canola hahaha....Couldn't resist answering the questions posed by fellow Sajhaites, ke garne...

Anyhow...

Coming to the topic, I appreciate your serious concerns on the ongoing turmoil in the country. Being a fellow Nepali, I can understand the feeling that you and numerous other Nepalis living in Nepal and elsewhere share. My heart bleeds for Nepal. It's been bleeding for long and now I don't even feel much pain so to speak--not coz it's being assuaged but we're getting habituated with the pain I guess. Good thing is, I still see the silver ring around the dark cloud and I think we are moving forward, albeit at snail's pace, and I am just hoping we face towards the right direction first coz all we have to do after facing towards the right direction is keep on moving and we'll get there. I honestly think we will get there one day. The biggest question is "When?" but that's another story our grandkids may share with their grandkids. hahaha..

I understand our plight and the reasons that ensued one after the other for most of us Nepalese, which made our stay in Nepal close to impossible or impractical to say the least--not that they were impregnable by any means. I am not against brainstorming as long as the ideas which sprout and blossom from it are translated to actions but I am just a kind of ticked off by the blaming game we love to play. It's not just one individual, almost everyone of us, as per my experience, in one way or the other, likes to pinpoint failures in the part of others (be it leaders or other authoritative figures) while when it comes to giving a second thought on whether we, as responsible citizens, lived by the expectation the country has for us, we fail at it miserably. That to me is a subtle hypocrisy we are ourselves oblivious of.

I firmly believe that in democracy--governing and keeping eye on governance so that it does not derail or mislead people are both equally important/integral  chain of events. And we, as people, have direct/indirect effect on both form of events. We elect leaders of our choice so we make our own governance, first effect. Secondly, we also have to make sure that the governance does perform according to its objectives and any discrepancies on their part are not tolerated. This is where parties in opposition and the civil society which comprise people like us have their hands in. Unfortunately, we shy away from it and fly some distance for our own motives. We tend to forget that it's 'US' and not YOU or I that develops a country. That's that.

Anyways, I think we have, among us, many wiling ones who have contributed or are still contributing and some who want to contribute to Nepal in the future. 'How' and "where from" are important but they are of secondary or tertiary priorities-- long as you have the will, you have the way. Actions speak louder than words no wonder and I hope we act rather than making Nepal an issue of some "somras" talk for mere entertainment.

I hope I made you clearer this time and BTW, I love Austin Powers series
