When I was studying in Delhi, one of friends had a very old motorbike that was always breaking down. One day he came to college in a brand new shiny motorcycle and we were like wow! Nice bike. He said he had painted the bike, put new seats etc. Basically all the accessories on this bike was new but next day the bike had a break down that is when another Indian friend of mine said “Budi ghodi lal lagaam” (old horse, new clothes). I looked at him and he said “bro, what runs a bike is the engine and not the accessories, he prettied the bike up but the primary part of the bike was still them same”. Why this entire story you ask?

I look at Nepal and the situation reminds of that phrase my Indian friend had used “Budi ghodi lal lagaam”. With the new developments going on in Nepal all of us are excited and we are thinking this time is different. Girja announced to change everything national anthem, army’s name etc. Good right. Well I don’t think so. What makes democracy is the people not anthems or names. They are the engines, so leaving people like Girja, MaKuNe, Baburam, Prachande et al. who are either looters or murders, in the picture to run the country means nothing has changed. “Just a bhudi ghodi lal lagaam”

We need people who think about jobs, infrastructures, development, and industrialization, not people who think changing the national anthem, saying Nepal is no more a hindu country, changing the Nepal army’s name etc is bringing big changes to Nepal.

Just my two cents.

Mr. Lonely - where have you been hiding all this time?? :@ :@
anyways i caught you in this thread ke!! (wink,wink)
email me ke, our momo date is coming up soon ni!! :P :P or did you change your mind?? :(

Ok Sidster,
then you mean to say no matter what happens in Nepal We should not care.It directly or indirectly affects you.You need to realize that.How country should be runned is interesting thing.But i know who should not rule and how should not it be ruled .How do you know there are people who can run country?Thinking of giving chance ,knowing track records???
Also , this is just opinion portal.We just give our opinions .If humanbeings stop giving about anything and eveything .Then don't you think life would be little boring.
coversation such as: that movie sucks would not be appropriate,i hate my boss because,
that criminal might have committed crime this way...see few examples of your opinion every day.

Sidster, Of course you miss the point and by miles....

Good criticism ImI....he he

Biggy Small,

I don't think there is any point in arguing about how maoists paved their way through. Bottom line is, they are into the limelight now, and the only way to sort out all the differences is by reconciliation, mutual trust and co-operation. I think that is the best solution to mend the broken engine of Nepal.

Nails,

I chose to remain behind the curtains for sometime, it was my choice. See how selfish I am! :P. And no, I have not forgotten the momo date. Anytime dear! Just make sure that you are 18 though :P. Take care!
