lots of people/organizations/parties in nepal work one way while their names may give different impression(s) about them.

didn't we think (still think), nepali congress (NC) is the oldest "democratic" party in the country? true it's the oldest one and while it may sound like they are honestly committed (for namesake) for democratic practice, there is no denying the cold hard fact that the structural behavior and actions within NC are not even remotely democratic. Same goes to many of the other parties who've been tested over and over again in the nepalese soil for betterment and progress of the country but to no avail. Ratriya "prajatantra" party (what a good name for a party), for the most part, comprise "panches" of the past. Aru ke bhanne?

Going by the same line, let's not get too petrified by the heavy communist jargons these maoists leaders have been using lately. In the least, the recent visits to UN, US and IND by the PM has given me the impression that they too want to connect to the rest of the world (not that we have any other choice).

I am not trying to imply that maoists  will be good or any better than the status qou of other parties. but the fact of the matter is: the test drive has just started and we don't know how the ride is gonna be (and we have a long way to travel). but we STILL have time. IT"S JUST A TEST DRIVE, FOLKS! the real jourey hasn't started. if we don't like the car, we have the option to NOT buy it (still). which means, we have given them two years in which time they will draft a new constitution. After that, the election will decide which ride we, nepali, want to take. (we know where to go). Kina hopeless bha ho tettikai?

so take a chill pill and be happy, if you ask me.

( i am sure some fingers are ready to point towards me to adorn me with "nice political labels", but  hold on!!!! kidding..actually go head!....as if I really care hahaha)
