BathroomCoffee, not sure why, but I expected a better posting from you.

We don't have 24 hour electricity, neither access to clean water. Businesses cannot go 7 days without seeing a strike. Education system is in shambles and every other sector is struggling. We aren't getting a basic right that every citizen is entitled to.
But, this doesn't mean we cannot contribute in whatever way we can. Saying "Khana lai pani chhaina" and not doing anything will make it better? I cannot goto Nepal and fix all the problems; heck I cannot even go ask the Government to revise their aviation policy. Doesn't mean I should just stay here shut. What these guys are doing are symbolic and something to unite us.
In mere 10 years of time, different political parties (including Maoists) have been successful in creating a faction amongst various ethnic sub divisions.Symbolic gestures won't undo those damages, but it's a start. Its a subconscious effort to support one big ethnicity we all share: we all belong to Nepal.

If Sajha allowed last name, I would sign off as Kiddo Nepali.
