to all,

i am talking reality.

'live wire' clearly understood my point and Nepal_Hero bro to great extent. u have to have a sound knowledge of a nation's geology, environment etc before u invest or plan for development. i have written this 100 times in sajha, we cannot build high buildings, insert tunnels etc in our young mountains that are still evolving. geologists predict nepal will jolted with some strong earthquakes in the near future.

what we can do is build what we have. we have highways that gets destroyed every rainy season - why? cause they use cheap materials. we hear collapsing of buildings often. this is a chain reaction of the actions of weak govts.

to dream is great but to dream making nepal US in near years is ...... again i stress on working from grassroot level.

lets go back to chitwan local youths. i met a young tharu kid recently in a hotel. he was in his teens. as usual i interacted with him asking all sorts of questions including his income, school etc. there was pain in his eyes when he said how much he longs for school but he has to work full time in the hotel to support his family. how about money? they are paid minimum wages and the profits flies to either to ktm or outside country. in chitwan, most resorts are owned by foreigners who hardly visits. managerial jobs goes to graduates from valley and the locals holds menial jobs.

this is just one example.
