Politics....WHAT???

         Since Obama-Romney's presidential campaign, I am so hungover with "politics".  I am highly impressed by the involvement of the people and the political culture here in the United States . This was all new for me, since i am from South east Asia( Nepal) where the purpose of politics is corruption and quite few of us gives a shit about it anyway.
            In all honesty, I try to stay away from any political issues, since the political issues from my country are far from my understanding. Despite of all that, today's news kinda sucked me in. So yeah, whatever, i  woke up with the most LOL news on the Internet., one of the most powerful man in the country was slapped by a commoner. And there was a meeting which concluded that the attack against the chairman was a conspiracy against peace and the constitution. But, Hello!! which constitution are you talking about?  I personally think that was the mounted  frustration that eventually outburst.  I have respect for the people who break or at least try to break the status quo, so, Conspiracy or not, that was commendable.
The politics of nepal has been facing number of significant challenges. Ten years of violent conflict, political instability, active monarch to democratic republic, hindu to secular state, and proportional representation. These sharp and frequent political reshuffling of political leaders has created opportunities of corruption and  impunity has  widespread creating a big loophole in the system. We Nepalese are the victims.  Once proclaimed to be the most peaceful country, the political turmoils have completely raped the country inside out.
             Nepal's development has been jeopardized by the inefficiency from the political parties. They have failed to do what is necessary, which is not a surprise when they have been busy in collecting money to their own personal bank accounts.
Sadly , today we think participating in rallies  and burning tires is a contribution to change and that we are fighting the system. Probably its time for us to collect our act and move towards building a better nation.

We all talk the talk but do we walk the walk???

And.....  I am back to my face book :

On a lighter note, here's the rad video, my all time favorite by Nepathya.

My Friend's Birthday

Hello, yes, I am still alive.

Today is November 14th, Subekchha's birthday. She is an ah-ma-zing friend.

(sorry, I stole the picture).

 

We have been there in each other lives since our high school days. After all these years, she's still the same for me. She moved to Australia, I moved to New York, life changed but one thing that never changed was our friendship. We are in contact through face book and emails, and our bond has solidified as we grow older and wiser. Though we don’t get to hang out as much as I’d love to, she has a special place in my heart and always will. I'll always cherish each and every moments we had together, because seriously, that girl is something special. She is smart, funny, innocent and oh, how can I forget “creative”. So today, I wish her a fantastic birthday with hopes that she will end the day with lots of fun with her loved ones somewhere in Australia while blaring a punk rock hipster kinda dance music that I am not smart enough to understand.

I know she hates make up and that sorta biatch (I read that on her face book) hah!!! but on her birthday, i wish, she acknowledges the fact that she's beautiful, and she doesn't need that. But it would be great, if she starts acting like a lady and at least start using mascara.

In high school, we went through boy dramas, epic heartbreaks, bitching and what not. And looking back on the last few years, I think I understand why she holds a special place in my heart. She was always there for me, and I appreciate it.

Also I know she wants to keep it low profile, but it’s her birthday, and it’s worth celebrating and blogging.

For Subekchha:

· I hope this year; you learn to be wiser and  braver. On that note, please quit your nail biting habit, this year please. Nail paint won't hurt either.
· Things are changing greatly, and we don’t even say hello quite often, no matter what. I love you. Thank you for being true to yourself.
· Even though my definition of adventure is lazy afternoons, eating junk food and blogging while watching family guy, I wanna do all that with you while we are still young (tee-hee!!!).
· I still miss some of the stupid things we used to do in high school. And your epic dance moves.
· I am a big fan of your writing and art you should continue doing it.
· I am always on your side.

 "happy birthday love"
