For over 20 yrs, or ever since i can remember, I have been made to be proud of my country and I was. Why ? Because it was the land where Buddha was born. Okay.
It is where the tallest mountain Mount Everest is . Okay, I agree.
It is this country that provided the bravest of the bravest soldier.


Now Buddha is said to be born in India, Mt Everest is partially in China, and gurkhas are moving to England. What am I left to be proud of.


I am not proud of Prachanda, neither am I proud of Girija.
I am not proud of royal massacure Neither am i proud of bombs in buses.
I am not proud of load shedding nor strikes around the country.  As matter of fact I am ashamed of these stuff..


Yet I am proud to be Nepali. I hate when others talk down on nepali. I hate neighbors for encroaching our border.  I hate it when people are unaware of the existence of Nepal..


Pls share something I can be proud of again.
