We are ahead !

Welcome to one of the must visit country in the world. It is the beauty of Nature, creation of creator to show his creation itself. It is one of the places in earth where one should at least once visit or should have a dream to visit. It is called as "world of its own". The desire and destination of men can be different and journey is the most precious aspect which leads you to either of them. Today In west, people are trying to find some alternative to fuels, we have already started our campaign long back. We are ahead in future not because we lack oil or we have to battle to gain it. It is because we are saving energy. Imagine a situation where you have to stay eight hours without electricity. Imagine it now for your city for example New York City or Los Angles or California. Well, the imagination does not seem to be imaginative and it really seems stupid but if such think happens what will be your alternatives? We are far behind in global economy, we are regarded as third world, we come from place where people have no money to buy food but they will have smile to show you that we are happiest people in the planet. According to global happy index we are quite ahead in this context. Stop; do not go away we also are ahead in time. The yet new year for our country is around the corner. We are reaching to 2065 B.S. Comparatively we are quite far away living in third world at least in dates. Beauty lies in eyes of beholder. You have to come and visit country full of beauty to believe your eyes and ears that Nepal is happy country in Global World. We do not have Nuclear weapons, we do not have mind blowing economy, infrastructure and capital incomes but one thing we have- Peace. The country is progressing with its own political assembly poles and the leaders are leading it for the well being of country and society. Every country would have version of "this is mine, not yours". Our history always reminds us that we are from the land of "Buddha, and Highest peak in world called Mount Everest". We also are from the land of those brave "Veterans, Ghorkhali who fight not only for their own home land but still doing military services in many Western worlds. It will also be noted that we are different as each country is different. See the flags of all the countries you will surely see why you must come to visit country of rich Natural resources. We have never been ruled nor will be ruled despite being in between two giants in South Asia, India and China. We are separating two giants Nation in not only in South Asia but soon emerging to become super power countries. Nature is one of finest aspect and has huge potential for coming generation of scientist, economist, researchers and entire human beings to look forward to in coming years. We are not quite well prepared for it; it will be too late when we would realize that we have been affected by its Unexpected Nature. We are ahead in learning from Nature only because we are very close to it. Imagine a situation where you do not have to in contact with any one for week and you have been given your personal privacy, security and respect as if you are GOD. In Bible it is said that, "It took six days for GOD to make this planet and seventh day he rested". If I would be given an opportunity to ask a question I would ask where GOD did went on the seventh day. The answer is question itself, he took rest but where? Nepal. Visit and see with your own eyes. It is the New Year celebration happening in one corner of globe where all other corners are having busy working life. Welcome to visit Nepal for its cultural heritage, future technology which is the “Power of Green” as said by Thomas Friedman.

America is preparing for the alternatives to find the solution from environment; we are finding how we can get more close to it. The world is yours only when you think world as one single entity. We have more than 200 countries divided according to power of religion, politics, economy and global infrastructure so on and so forth however, we forget that we are humans with one the one common dimension, color (may be different because of adaptation according to environment) , ability to think, and sensitive to emotions. We think we are close to Nature and Nature teaches us thousand plus one lessons in one day, nothing comes easy to it as nothing comes easy to us. Let us make it one not by dividing it into pieces for smaller cause but for the unexpected behavior of Nature for far greater cause than we can even imagine.

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.

"Are we happier than US, UK and Canada?"

According to Global Happy Index Survey, Nepal Stood 54/178 among world's most happy destination. We are ahead of India, Pakistan,United States, UK and many more. It says that we may not have latest Technologies, mind blowing infrastructure but we do are happy at the end of the day, Let me tell you one story-George Bernard Shaw was once at a party, sitting by himself on the outskirts of the festivity. The hostess came over and asked him, "Aren't you enjoying yourself?" Shaw replied, "That's all I am enjoying!" The truth is, this is all you can enjoy: yourself. All outer enjoyments are but reflections of the enjoyment you have in yourself. People in develop land do not enjoy much in themselves, They tend to forget the fact that One should feel the happiness inside oneself, God is the God of the eternal NOW. To have life means to have this joyful awareness this very moment. Not after we've paid our income tax, or completed the installments on our new car. To live truly this moment, you must not live for the moment. Moments change; the eternal Now remains constant. This Now is the center of the wheel around which all outward circumstances revolve. What I think is that today people are living like a dead men. We should live a life with spiritual mindset,living constantly in the present tense, every atom of his being vibrant with vitality. I have never seen a spiritual person who did not have joy. Joy, surely, is the greatest hallmark of spirituality. Joy wells up from the depths of a vibrant, inner calmness. When they laugh, we feel like hugging the very air with delight! This world is like a symphony, and God is the great conductor bringing music out of all things. In all things God has assumed different roles. Through sunlight He is saying, "I am power". Through wind He is saying, "I am free!" Through man He is saying, "I am wise. I feel deeply". Through dogs He is saying, "Oh, how playful I am! How wonderful is it to play!" And through birds He is singing, "Oh, what melody there is in my heart!" A life without joy is not really life; it is death. Jesus said, "Let the dead bury their dead". He was referring not to corpses getting up and burying other corpses, but to people who walk around, apparently living, but with no life in their hearts, no enthusiasm, no inner happiness. In western thought, we find constantly the emphasis on doing. In the East, being is emphasized. My wife-Padhmawoti said that we should seek happiness for others, not for ourselves. But I would say that She is putting the cart before the horse. For, granting that happiness is man's greatest gift to man, how is it possible to give it if one doesn't first have it in oneself? Can you give away money that isn't yours to give? So, always remember Things are not happiness! Often they create conditions that prevent one from happiness. Happiness can be "caught", "seen" and "felt" only from people who first have it in themselves. Develop the capacity to feel the symphony of life coursing through the veins of the trees, singing and laughing with the children as they play, scudding with the clouds through the sky. Despite the fact that we are one of poorest country in world in terms of economy, GPI, infrastructure and Education but one thing for sure and certain Atleast we do not hesitate to smile infront of others and are happy.
