Nepal or Festivals in Nepal (Holi)

We all like to share our memories, the things we have done and we also like to speak a lot about our country, culture and our own things. Why ? The big question is why do we like to share our feelings, our thoughts and tell some one about it.

We like to do these things only because we want to make aware the other person about it. By the way Who is interested in listening what you have done, achieve or wants to do in future ? Why should other person be interested in what you want to show him ? He will only be interested if he wants to listen to what you have to say and if he thinks he can learn something from you. It is quite ok to say or speak your mind or speak about country, culture or what so ever in limit. Don't over do it.

The nature of finding it how you are over doing some thing is ask yourself. Well, this if very difficult thing to do. It is difficult because we are lazy at asking to ourself, we do not have time to ask ourself; we might thing we are smart by speaking a lot about one particular subject but we are not.

It does not matter what we are going to talk only thing matters is how we are going to talk. Later when we realize that we have done mistake we want to improve but we try to improve the task by 10 to 15 % that is absolutely wrong try to improve it 10 to 15 times better than 10 to 15 % better.

Why is that I am always right and he/she is wrong ? We can make loud cries about our country, culture and our core values to people or to some one but we need to see if other party are really interested. Always stick to the point. It is the point where you have to start don't try to explain the whole paper or whole big circle you will not be able to deliver everything.

Yesterday, I had the meeting with my friends and we had the discussion on how should we present the Nepali culture. I didn't agree on what those guys were doing and I do not agree now and I will not agree till the event finishes. It is not the whole Country you are going to sell in 2 hrs. The party is organize for a festival in Nepal called "Holi". Why not to talk more no "festivals" rather than whole country "Nepal"

It is fare enough that guys are doing excellent job on preparing slides, preparing video, organizing and doing a many things on planning, arranging or what so ever. But I have my own point of views and the view is that- Just speak little about Nepal and then focus on Festivals- Starting for biggest festival to smallest and finish it.

What I believe is we are marketing our country, Every person who belongs to one country if he/she speaks about it that means they are marketing their country, culture etc. This is one need to take care about.We always focus on quantity and not the quality, It is the quality that matters not the quantity. The task to is focus on one point and tell about that particular point My dear friends will not do so because they think it is not enough. We have thousand points, We want to talk about all the 900 points out of 1000. We are not going to talk about only 1 or 2 points. Why ? It is only because we think we are speaking less. Well, My entire life is not enough to speak about my country, my home, my culture or let's say I am too small to talk about every thing about Nepal.

I am so small and my mind is so limited that even if I study and want to speak something on my country it will take 7 re-incarnation to tell 9% about my country. People wants to deliver it in 2 hrs. Wow ! Cheers !

I am not demoralizing my dear friends but I am being transparent. I am being transparent by stating that if you want to take a point of view of others then do not waste others point of view at least you got to listen it and then think for a while. Not just ignore it, just like that.

Ignoring others point of view will not make any changes, if you really want to bring some change or wish to do so. It is easier to make some one angry or make them feel uneasy or stupid in a crowd only because you think you are doing right. You assume you are smart, intelligent and respected but it is not.

"I might look stupid but I am not" (stolen from a friend quote). Well, Thank you for very pleasant ideas-as celebration is for enjoyment and Holi itself stands for forgetting whatever sin or wrong we did in past, or hurt someone knowingly or unknowinlgy. Let's forget everything and celebrate.

I am sorry to all my friends who might get hurt of what I have written. I am sorry to those who are getting hurt and I am sorry to myself. I hope you guys will also ignore my ignorance. I am in the process of unknowing people and thank you for helping me in this process.

Depression Consular

We have International, National Coordinators in the university. We have big guys or one of the major person in the university like Professors, Rector and various top level people but we do not have depression consular. The idea of having the depression consular came into my(our) mind when we were discussing something in the kitchen. Teemu, Daniel and me were among the conversation about why not to have a derepssion consular in all the university around the world. In west, students are getting depressed very easily.

We can see the example of many such events happening now a days. Students are loads of pressure, they are suffering all the time lack of food, job, proper care and depression all the way. Students are the one who gets depressed very easily because of so many factors and constraints. The pressure gets inside the head of student very easily. There should be some kind of authority who handles it with due care. Not just passive authority but the one who is active, the one who listens very carefully to the problems faced by the students in daily rigmarole.


Based on the informal observation and no scientific data I would suggest that it is very good idea to keep some kind of authority who can take care of various events and various activites of students. Not only the students from home land but also from the International. It can also be seen in some countries that students are sleeping in garden because they could not afford to have their own house to live. The situation is even worse when you have to be stranded in the airport for days to find some suitable place to survive or live.

The biq question is who is responsible for this ? Is it a student itself ? How can we blame on ourselves. If students keep on blaming to themselves then will start getting more depressed and do some unusual activites. There should be some mechanism to ensure the proper care and open a depression consular in every authority.

Well, It is a idea which needs some proper care and should be implemented but the big question is when ? If it is not going to be implemented soon then we should be ready to face the consequences in near future.

RBG

It is today (25th December,07) One of the British guy, well there is only one British guy studying at LUT behave like a racist. He is total racist, how can I say that? He says that he hates us- all the person living in this earth with black or brown skin. We were a very good friend of him before some times back. Later we found out that he is not doing well, for this university and for the whole Finland, He thinks whole Finnish people stupid, he once said to me, “Santosh, I can fool all the administrator and Professor in the University.” I said, “Well, how is that possible?”
He said, “Advantage of my language-English”, I can speak faster then them, I can twist and turn the words, I can use slang like “Do you understand what I mean?” etc. Then I thought why is he doing this, I realized may be for his own benefit. He is selfish, egocentric and real asshole when it comes to thinking that he is the Best. He makes up the story as he wants, he think he can do what he wants because he has a good privilege from the British government. So, Later we found that to make a good relationship like friendship with this guy is not good. We then wanted to ignore him but he started showing his true colors.
He has plenty of advantage from the British government but we do not have. We just came here to study and we want to study but now when we cannot help him with his assignments, project and some other stuff he is behaving like we are no humans. Is only the people from Great Britain are humans? What is our fault of not having White Skin? Why are we always underdogs? Why are we all treated like this? Are all people of Great Britain Racist?
How can we judge a character of person without knowing him? His character does not resemble to any British guy, He is always pretending. What is our fault in helping him complete his studies and letting him with us for some time. We even cooked a food many times and have served him. Now today on Christmas day, “He wrote a email saying that he is racist and he wants to be racist.”

We went to his flat because he wrote one of friends’ an email stating his girl friends thing….
Why does he have to bring the friend’s girl friend in the middle of our discussion. Since we were trying to solve our problem, the problem between British guy, me and my friend. Why does he have to bring my friends girl friend and write some thing stupid on her. What do she has to do with all this? My friend got angry. He still is very angry so my friend decides to go to his room and see him. So, I also went with him and we both went to see this British guy. He now started making things up. Just before calling to Police he said he can do what ever he like in Europe. He has a right to do whatever he wants. So, He called a Police and me and my friend were standing there for a police now, Police came. They asked some general info and asked us to leave as well. Since it is not a big crime or some thing like that.
I want to ask, why we are always in this situation. Why People from Britain think they are racist?” Is all people from this place are like Mr. Mahesh Khakurel- a Nepal born British Citizen.
Who thinks there is no world except in Britain? Why these people our color of skin? What is the cause? Are we not humans are they are? These people hate us may be because we are poor. So what is being poor has to do? Are all people in world are only rich and superior?
I do not know what kind of children Great Britain is making for their future. But it needs to be clearly checked once.
