MODERN NEPAL...........OR IS IT SO......???

Doubt waits everywhere. Everywhere I go, suspicion is what waits! I cannot even blackball the fact how they have bewitched the so called Modern Nepali society. Politics; a term, a subject it has become of confusion, conspiracy and bribery. Belief, faith and trust have long lost their way in a deep maze of doubt and chaos. Well somebody once said, “When you are in doubt be silent”. But even silence is suspicious here.

Everywhere, the talks of the constituent assembly, election, 7-party alliance, the Maoists and so on and on and on. Suddenly from nowhere something happens, prices raise and the talks change, talks raise to rage, to demonstrations and rally, murderous conspiracy, hoax, plots and traps they all take birth and so called the modern citizens fall under the traps knowing not what they do, where they go! Our country has become a doodle; a doodle whose meaning is a restless one, you can do anything. Everyone has their own way of expression yet expressing nothing.

Sweet talks and sweets, people are after them, not after their future. People are completely void of this thought. “Too many cooks do have spoiled the broth” in our country, nothing is stable and yet no one is to blamed for mistake is of all. No proper co-operation, no proper relation exists between people as well with the government and who is to be blamed, well no one. But yet each blames the other and keep watching; doing nothing as if nothing has happened; doing bloody nothing.

Government tax and revenue disappears as if an illusion, loans and donations vanish as if by magic and in prestige comes more hoax and conspiracy within. All eyes have been blindfolded one way or the other, all ear dumb, people feel themselves but fail to feel the unity. Hands are cut before they are joined, eyes poked before vision, tongues cut before words pronounced, fingers sliced and chopped before raised, legs broken before steps, hearts attacked before feelings, brains tumor before thoughts and even water and air poisoned with fear and doubt. It is all that remains: fear, doubt and chaos, yet people forget to think again though they know, but consulate themselves with blames to the rest. This is Nepal or should I say, Modern, Liberal, Free, New Nepal or………………….is it so?
