Alexandra Delaney’s concern with animal rights and mass killings of buffaloes and goats during Dashain is legitimate and I understand how these acts could upset a true vegetarian (“Seeing red,” Oct. 12, Page 7). However, I do not agree with her statement about Nepal being “superstitious”.
Every country has a cultural legacy and religious practices for reasons that I don’t believe fall under the category of superstition, something that a religious scholar should understand. Her concluding quote of Ghandi—“every country can be judged based on how women and animals are treated”—also includes countries in the West where there are thousands of animals killed every day, often inhumanely. Why do only developing nations have to be picked for censure?

In response to article entitled, "The Latest Crisis" this is my comments for it--
Dear Editor,
Please forgive my curiosity and concern. I am very much skeptical on asking question concerning, "why?". All this is being done to capture "one man" and defeat "terrorism". This is really good case where good guys are chasing the bad guys. To ordinary public like us, it is very doubtful question who is the good guy and who remains the bad guy. After hearing many conspiracy theories it raise little concern. However, all those spending and so called "crisis" are looking hazy and cozy.
Good luck !

Welcome to the Kathmandu city, capital of Nepal. Country of its own. We treat our guest as god, we are country of this... country of that... but one we lack basic sanitation to our own country men. The city dwellers, pedestrians and all the people lack food, electricity, petrol and some basic things that is required in survive in normal daily life.
To tell you the reality we are paralyzed. We cannot move. We do not have petrol. We are good at words and only good at words.In paper, it says that we are second in highest to produce electricity but we have to buy electricity from the country where we sell electricity. Why ? We lack petrol and we cannot move. Now all Nepali should realize that the main idea behind not providing the petrol is that we are far sighted people we know that in future the whole world will one day face the same consequences therefore we are practicing this from now. See, We are quite ahead in the dates.
Today we are 2064 while the world is just 2008. We are traveling in future while the world is traveling in past. It does not matter for us if we are not given an opportunity for job, for basic sanitation or for electricity we will be silent and listen to what our government do because whatever they do, they do for us, for country and for ourselves.
We love our government, our prime minister, home minister and their relatives because they might be relative to each other but they are "my relatives too". Paralyzed Kathmandu city. See more news if interested what's going on. We are practicing future. Welcome to Nepal if you wish so.
This is the title of the movie, where one man stands up in the city to fight against the evils. He finally finds the cure for the disease but that cure is just useless. The idea of this movies is very impressing and a must watch. Legend is the term which itself has great meaning- No one can simply become legend. Legends are not made they are people who are born legends. It is not easy when we look back to the history of people who are legend now. They have done sacrifise in Love, for family and for country. Are we willing to do the same now ? If you ask anybody who is willing to do the sacrifise, the answer will be no ! Because we are afraid of the sacrifise we want to live a happy, cheerful and simple life. By just simply saying that I am legend, you do not become therefore it is important that some one says that this person is legend. The person who lives are not called legend, Once you have done something noticeable for your country, your society and your religion they after your death you can be declared legend.We always tend to differentiate between good, bad and evil similary we are differentiating now a days about ordinary, VIP and middle class. Why is this difference ? Can't we call every one as single normal human beings. We can't because we have different values in the society. We have put up these valuses in our society that people call by our values not by our deeds. "With desire comes dissatisfaction and a dissatisfied man is full of misery." We always desire something in our life, every instant we want something from our life that we are disatisfied when we do not get what we want. When we become dissatisfed with our desires then we become a man of misery. So, always be the way you are. Do the things you like to do the most. Do not hide the desire within you and don't let your desire get disatisfied, even if you do not get what you desire today-you might get it very next day or in some times-just have that patience and courage within you. These qualites will make you a legend.
