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.
