Unlimited strikes, what for?
Collaboration, an unheard word.
No electricity, a lifeless bulb.
Computer class, an off period.
no water to drink, no gas to cook...
shortage of fuel n these crippling strikes,
nowhere to go even if i wanted to flee.
jus got my paycheck, n its gone already!
seems like we spending dollars, n earning rupees.
hydro-powered electricity to bio diesel fuel,
a step forward or is it a developmental retreat?

10 yrs of revolution, n wot have we got?
thousands of dead n millions left to rot.
completely opposite set of ideologies,
no common grounds, nor analogies.
once arch rivals, joining hands now;
how can they reap, if they didnt even sow?
was it a revolution against the government,
or was it a mission against the nation?
'Naya Nepal'...a commercial jingle may be?!
or perhaps, a new nation in the making!
but, all i see is a country in dire,
bleeding all over, a country in need.

O great nation of Nepal,
stop the cries that goes unheard,
wipe the tears that goes unseen,
I am right here close to you,
n you in me.
Though the times r tough,
for you n for me.
We'll be together one day,
rejoicing every moment n to more on the way.

you ve given enough already,
its my turn to take care of you!
teach in a school, or clean the streets,
may be plant trees, n seeds of knowledge too.
m looking for ways to help myself,
help myself by helping you!

change is what we wanted, n change is what we got.
not that i can see, but if its for better,hope its here to stay!
