Hard Truth

Death of former Prime Minister Girija Prasad Koirala, popularly known as Girijababu, has shocked the nation. Death is a bitter reality that no power, religion, scientific endeavour or pill can prevent. It is a harsh and fundamental truth that each one of us must face it someday.

I remember a piece of wisdom my grandfather passed on to me before he died. He told me to recite this mantra daily: “I am going to die someday. But I am not sad about it today. If I am sad today of dying someday, then how am I supposed to live and do something today?”

I don’t know if this mantra really works. I suppose only a few of my learned readers may accept this philosophical convention. But it really does inspire and encourage me to live life to the fullest without being worried about death.

One invariable fact about life is that it will come to an end. But, it is not the destination that counts, rather the process by which one reaches the destination. If one fully lives their life on a day-to-day basis, one is bound to live a happier, healthier life. Despite this knowledge, many fear death. Imagine a scenario where somebody is standing in front of you, pointing a revolver towards your face. In such a scenario, one is bound to fear death. But fearing death for no present reason is not wise.

Before going any further on death, one has to understand the magnitude of fear, including the pain and suffering that the fear of death can cause. After reading several religious scriptures, I have come to the conclusion that there are a lot of interesting ideas about death. For example, in the Bible, the ‘coming back’ of Jesus Christ is mentioned. Similarly, some Muslim scholars believe in the ‘coming back’ of the Prophet Mohammad. Hindus also believe in the concept of chaurasi janma. My childish mind doubts this though, without any proper reason to give. I believe that, take it or leave it, everyone has to die one day, and that is the only truth of this so-called, ‘human life’.

Life is not like a game of cricket where in one match if you are clean bold, you can come up fresh in the very next match. To me, life is about living in the present moment and feeling happy and thankful for being alive. It is about cherishing the memories of the past, creating new ideas and innovations in the present, learning from peers, and loving everything that has been placed front of us.

Sadly, our Girijababu is no longer with us, but his legacy and contributions to Nepali politics and the country will always be remembered forever.

Is Girija Prasad Koirala Really dead ?

I know you people are quite aware of the fact that Our Prime Minister is alive and living happy, healthy and prosperous life. I was the first one to write about it in a sense that Girija Prasad Koirala is dead in the way that- He might be physically alive but what is the purpose of being alive since you cannot make any changes to society and your country ? Why is he alive ? He should be dead by now. I am really not happy with the rulers in our home land- Why should I be ? What is that our rulers are giving us ? "Don't ask what a country can do for you but what you can do for your country. " It is very good quote by a great person. Well, In our Nepali context it is opposite. We all keep on asking what a country can do for us ? You can see every body is talking about this. What has our country done to us till date ? What is the benefit of being in this country ? What do we get in return ? There is always a political problems due to which education system is effected. There is always has been a Water,electric power and sanitation problem in our country. If you can see today's context of Nepal there are thousand of groups who are begging to other people. The group are easy to form as is our culture. We are beggars. We easily form a group and visit door to door to ask for donations and money.One can easily accept that well- donation is good thing to do and give however, if the donation asked is going to be utilized later in the evening for cocktail party and drinking alcohol then what is the use of donations. The country once was very near to get the status of "peaceful country in the world" is slowly and gradually becoming "violent country in world", "corrupted country in world" and so on. Why is their a link of Nepal as a nation when we see some Indian movies. Whenever they have to link some terrorist and some corruption they very easily link it to Nepal.Who is behind this ? And why are they permitted to do that ? Despite all this we have a very intellectual Prime minister living in Royal house of his and doing nothing. Why are we Nepalese people more towards "talking" and not on "doing". We always waste time and energy just like that.To some extent it is good but We do it often. Why ? The answer to this is we are not cared by our government. We are thrown as if we do not belong in our mother land. We are treated as if we came from some alien planet. We are no more multicultural, multichannel and multilingual country what I think is that remove those "multi" and that's what we are, and that is also nothing. We are heading no where and we are doing no good to our country men. Listen to Obama speech Prime Minister- In his speech he at least mentions and know what his country men are going through. He knows why he needs to be President of United States. Yes, This is real key point one should understand. "Why I am being a Prime Minster of this country ?" The reason will give you the answer and we hope hopefully you will do some good before you are really dead.
