फ़ुल्नै नपाई कोपिलामै, झरे कति कति

Prabhat Guragain

फ़ुल्नै नपाई कोपिलामै, झरे कति कति
किनार लाग्न नपाउदै, सपना टरे कति कति

स्वतन्त्रता, परिबर्तन, शान्तिका नाममा
बन्द हड़ताल आन्दोलन, गरे कति कति

गास बॉस कपास, समानाताको कुरा गर्दै
उसका झुटा आश्वासनमा, परे कति कति

दायाँ बायाँ केहि सोचिन, जे परेनी अघि बढे
केहि भएन कहिल्यै उसलाई, म मरे कति कति

छाती माथी लाठी थापी, रुन्थे ऐया भन्दै
मेरा चोटमा उसका दशा, टरे कति कति

No Work No Pay!

Well done, Sunil Babu Pant... Hope the other CA members also follow your example!

Looking for bridge builders in Nepal

A Bridge builder builds and safe-guards a bridge that connects Nepal of today to the “nation builders” of tomorrow. With a strong leap of faith, they plunge headlong to build and sustain this bridge between the coming era of nation builders and the fading era of nation destroyers. Only, through the bridge-builder’s efforts, the nation builders can come in to protect your future, our future and Nepal’s future.

You might ask why don’t we just bring the nation builders here right away. First lets identify who the nation builders are. Nation builders include passionate entrepreneurs, doctors, lawyers, engineers, technocrats, teachers, community activists, policy makers, bureaucrats, scientists, passionate professionals and more….. Most of us could fit into this list. Congratulations if you are one of the passionate ones!

Yet I argue, that nation builders cannot build Nepal into prosperity right away. Why? Because even though they have the will and the ability to significantly impact our environment, they need a relatively conducive environment to start working their magic and to sustain this change. Nepal of today does not offer us that environment (yet). This is why we need a group of bridge builders to connect Nepal to the nation builders.

I believe, bridge builders are patriots. They help bring era of nation builders. Some one just like you, ordinary men and women who will decide to rise up to the challenge by sacrificing their short-term benefits to change our environment, so that the nation builders can take over. They could be people with many shortcomings, who decide on a path of moral integrity for a change.

So do you have what it takes to be a bridge builder?
I feel any of us can rise up to the challenge. Inside each of us, are a reservoir of energy waiting to burst out and show what we are capable of.
Here are my personal thoughts on what could be some of your roles as a bridge builder. Feel free to build your own list. This is just one guide. :)

• Lead by example. Become a stronger moral compass for others to follow.
• inspire each Nepali to search for a common “identity” and “a common sense of purpose” in their community.
• A clean and patient conscience helps deal with distractions in this long marathon. Remember: This is a full marathon, not a hundred meter sprint.
• Be a bold yet pacifying voice for confused Nepalis.
• Advocate and organize peaceful resistance to violent systems or groups.
• Forsake the traps of self-glorification and cheap popularity. Focus only on “bridge-building.” That’s your job, your “karma”.
• Inspire Nepalis around you,on the path of nation building along the lines of Ahimsa – unity through non-violence, compassion, and moral integrity.
• Bring together a critical mass of bridge-builders. Guide them to be safeguards of this bridge.
• Organize and collaborate with small teams of nation builders to ready them for the transition.
• be ready to face the full force of the system you are trying to change. They are just addicts that resist change when you are detoxifying them.
• Finally, have compassion for your enemy even while you seek to completely destroy the system in which they flourish.

Hopefully you will volunteer to build this bridge into a new Nepal. I leave you with this:

“There are a thousand hacking at the branches of evil to one who is striking at the root.”

Henry Thoreau

Maha Jodi Unites Nepal!

A single hand cannot mould a pot

by Sweta Pandey

A single hand cannot mould a pot,
All alone, can we manage a lot?
But even though we all are lonely souls
Uniting Nepal is our ultimate goal.

Nepal, my country, my lifeline, my pride
Today you seemed troubled, too much will divide
What happened to our beloved peace-loving nation?
How to reunite and curb the frustration?

Come together all day and all night-extra nice for motherland
Share the melodies that we all have within
Whether they be sad or joyous, we all will win…
One love, one heart, one nationLet’s inspire one another and form a new creation

The vibe that comes will bring us peace
And Pearce our heart, our love will release
Our only hope is to get along
And together we can create a beautiful song!!
