Federal Democratic Nepal

Welcome to Nepal, A country famous for High sky rocketing Himalaya like Mount Everest, birth place of Gautam Buddha, Buddhist God and brave Gurkha is truly a dream destination to visit once in a life. With more than 300 festivals, 100 different languages spoken and peaceful, loving and silent place is ahead of times in Natural beauty.Excuse me-You have landed your feet on Federal Democratic Nation, Welcome to a a country of its own where guest are treated as God. Last couple of years ago, when I came back from my country for the further studies in Finland it was ruled by King. Truly Monarchy, Now it is to my utmost surprise, cheer and delight to hear the news of Nepal being Democratic.

The history has been created by changing the some 240 year rule of King by people. Once the land where people use to treat Kings, and Queens and God and Goddesses are now just like me and you, a simple ordinary human. It has been proposed in the first meeting that king will be taken all perks except the benefit he gets as us. No great palace of former rulers is open to public in Nepal. Hence, the Narayanhity Museum (a possible name) will give Nepalis a unique peek at the 240-year-old institution of monarchy that has played such an important role in shaping the political course of the country. It is also decide now that the palace will be turned into Museum. King has been given a letter to vacate the palace within 15 days. Sooner the country will have new prime minister and president. "The president will be the commander in chief of the national army. He will act as per the recommendation of the Prime Minister. He will be authorized to declare emergency in accordance with the cabinet decision," was said by Nepali Congress leader Bimalendra Nidhi. As a common citizen, my intelligent guess would be Maoist leader Prachanda as a next president of Nepal. History has been made and history by selecting and voting for a new party called Maoist. During the political campaign I called and asked my wife-Whom did she voted for ? I was not so surprised when she said, "Maoist". Today, as they have been tagged as a terrorist by United States. It surely needs further thinking on them. Hoping is the only element left when none of the political parties and King did anything for the well-being of Nation, people and for the country. Since there has been new political parties people mostly expect a great deal of change from them.

Now the priority of government should focus mostly on the economic, infrastructure, health, education, social sector and IT developments. It is not difficult once a best brain really work hard and put effort. It is not easy either if none of the promises shown will be further implemented. Going by the paper, a country has second highest potential of electricity but electricity is erratic people sleeps more than 7hrs a day in darkness. Lack of water, gas, petrol and many more basic needs has to be really taken into consideration as soon as possible. Many of the problems faced by country can be improved by government. Possibly it would be fix and that is a dream and hope of most of people in countrymen. "E should not stand for excuses but E should stands for efforts". One example is worth thousand theories, we should set and example to world. we need to go by firmly believing in what I would suggest is "doing". Or more precisely, add "ing" in the verb like do, learn, walk, talk, watch,contribute, fight so on. If we learn to live in present we will know we are changing ourselves, our society, our
country and to some extent the entire world.

"Dreaming about developed Nepal !" exclaimed a friend one day giving me a pitiful look usually reserved for endangered animals. I was not bothered by that question as I realized that we ourselves are responsible for our sufferings. Changes should be brought about within ourselves; once we are changed definitely our homeland will change to developed.
