Today, as I was walking towards my office in Lazimpat passing the streets where students were burning tires, beating people to bring attention to patriotism.  I began to ask myself what the !@#^ happened to us Nepalese. What the !@#$ is wrong with our national figure who thinks its ok to speak to take oath in Hindi?  What the !@#$ is wrong with the students who are supposed to be the future leaders of Nepal thinks its ok to beat another citizen, shut down our economy to bring obstruction to our daily affairs. Is that the definition of being patriotic? 

As I finally got to my office dodging stones and coughing my heart out from the smoke… a dear friend of mine reminded me of this song “Baneko Cha Paharale Yo Chati Mero…” a great classic number we all remember.  I think TODAY is THE day we should all listen to this song and remind ourselves perhaps recheck the definition of PATRIOTISM.
