Hey folks,I found this article/opinions interesting in this week's TIME online.
This week, TIME takes a look at the near future in our annual "What's Next" issue, a look at new technological gadgets, world-events futures markets, plus a forum with some of society's prominent prognosticators. What do you think? What does the next year hold for the world in business, politics, technology and other areas?
Dear Sajhaittes lets share our thoughts.
And ofcourse what does 2006 hold for NEPAL?
Cheers.....

Sarbadalia sarkar, with either Girija or Ramchandra Poudel prime minister. They will start talking about Sambidhan shava......and all they will do is talk, and that's all. Maoist in the same position as they are now.

Here are my few predictions:
World Politics:
US will start the withdrawal of troops starting the summer of 2006.
Reason:There will be more attacks on US interst in the middle east.
Israelis and Palestanians will see less violence than previous years.
China's economic growth will slow down because of the skyrocketing gas prices.
India will enjoy more outsourcing.
Indonesia will suffer more terrorist attacks.
Iran/US relationship will go sour than ever before.
Gas prices will make public transporations crowded.
Video iPod will cause minor road accidents as the pedestrians enjoy watching"Desperate Housewives"on their V iPod.
Worst hurricanes likely in the gulf coast and they will be named as Hillary,Condoleeza,Harriet,Jennifer and Angelina.
contd.....after the break

A devastating earthquake in the south-asian region most likely.
Dalai Lama will be invited for a talk in Beijing.
Hybrid car manufacturer will enjoy their popularity as global warming becomes the hot topic in 2006.
The prices for laptops will plunge.
AlGore's current TV will gain more viewers.
Box-office will slump as the audiences like staying home and renting movies by mail.Netflix will enjoy its heydays.
Cameron Diaz will think about adapting a nepali baby.

Sajha Will have 100,000 visitors and more.
No one will talk blindly biased politics.
There will be more interesting postings rather than plain boring Nepali politics threads.
There will be no foul word used at all.

General Predictions:

I will finally go to university after winning DV.
I will break up with my gf and get a new one.
I will stop coming to Sajha because of these idiotic posts.
My program will finally compile and will actually work.


Ok, that's about it. Wait, I got more for Nepal:

- Ghanendra (that's how my white friend calls him) will still be in power.
- Politicians will still be trying to get the "Kursi" so that they can enjoy their "Prado".
- Maoists will gain more power and terrotories.
- Nepal's economy will keep going down.
- There will be more articles about Nepal in foreign magazine.
- More Nepali will leave Nepal trying to find a better life elsewhere.

God, I can't think of any good things that will happen in Nepal What happened to us? This is the country of Buddha. Haven't our politicians and law makers realized what's going on outside of Nepal? Don't they know how to change with time? (PS: I guess not, otherwise, we wouldn't be in this state).

Just a thought....

I will break up with my gf and get a new one.

It must have been love but its over now...bhandai geet pani gau hai...:P

Gau ta gau:D

Lay a whisper on my pillow,
Leave the winter on the ground.

I wake up lonely,
There's air of silence in the bedroom
And all around.
Touch me now,
I close my eyes and dream away.

It must have been love
But it's over now.
It must have been good
But I lost it somehow.
It must have been love
But it's over now.
From the moment we touched
'Til the time had run out

Saying I love you
Is not the words I want to hear from you
It's not that I want you
Not to say, but if you only knew
How easy it would be to show me how you feel

More than words is all you have to do to make it real
Then you wouldn't have to say that you love me, yeah
Cos I'd already know
haha...Ki yeso gaundai khojne naya..:P

lau, achanak, the thread about next year has become a revival ground for cheesy love songs from the late 80s/early 90s! mero contribution ke ho bhane....

i'll be there for you
these 5 words i'd swear to you
when you breathe, i wanna be the air for you
oh, i'll be there FOR YOU....
