Happy Loktantra Day

I was oblivious to the political situation in Nepal not so long, and i still dont consider myself fully literate in this matter. But nowadays i have made it a point to gain new ideas and thoughts on this matter as much as i can. Today, brought happiness in many people or at least that is what it seemed. Its been already one year since the king handed down all his powers unwillingly to be left as a commoner. There definitely have been changes, some sound positively good while other may not quite make an impact. The ongoing war being over was the cause of the major excitement. The decade long war had caused huge loss not only i the number of people killed but also its role in throwing off of the developing path.

Nepal now has almost freed itself of the obstacle that had been hindering its way in the path of development. The only thing now is that the politicians must deliver on the promise that they have made. Although, in the past that could not be banked upon, its time for them to change their course just like we did and come up with some productive and definitive work that will go along a long way.

There are still places in Nepal where roads are just being made and the first cars are rolling their way. Only some time back the sight of the people celebrating just because they got to see a vehicle in their life for the first time was really heart warming. Nepal with its extremities faces a difficult situation to balance the need of all its people. The city dwellers may be asking for something completely different some people in the rural areas arent even aware of.

This time around, even a pessimistic person like me sees a gleam of hope , a hope that maybe things will be different. This time around the lives that were lost for freedom and development will not be forgotten and we will definitively strive for a better future. The future looks promising lets just hope we are not driven of course once again and we reach our destination swiftly and make this country of ours a much better place to live in. Jai Nepal.
