I am not a pessimist,and wouldn't like to sound as one either.But i just can't overlook all the bad stuff going around here in Nepal for the sake of optimism.Its really is bad;dire straits to say the least.Public security act is only on the papers and all we can do is guess,just guess.I haven't found a guy here in Kathmandu who has fully understood its modes of implimentation or even who it is intended for.There have been protests everyday to make it more clear and understandable to general people and even to withdraw it.People are really confused and terrified.In last two days there has been explosions in at least 4 different places here in Kathmandu.At least till today there had been no apparent fear to the general mass;most of the rioting had been political and the business was usual for most of us.Now its completely changed;there is always that sence of fear lingering on our minds what might happen next,where the next bomb may explode,whose turn is it to die next?Gosh!it really is terrible out here now.
Sounds unreal,dosen't it? I really would love to tell you all about the wounderful things happening in Nepal;sorry folks there are none now.If I sound too bleak I am sorry to say the situation is even worse.
Let's keep our fingers crossed & pray and hope for the best.We definately shall get over our troubles and glorify our Nepal by doing the best we can.Won't we?The present is bleak but at least let's try,us all,to make our future better.

A word on Nepal police...To all those who thought, PSA could be a cure-all.
We have enough laws in place, but it's their enforcement that has been a problem. As for improving law and order sitution, there is NO alternative to better policing. Nepal police, government officials, or even such grand constitutional bodies like Commission for Investigation of Abouse of Authority, never tire of demanding for new laws.
Debate on the pros and cons of such draconian laws as PSA only deviates us from the obvious: Nepal police is thoroughly corrupt and motivationless. PSA I am afraid will end up being a badarko hatma nariwal. I squarely condemn Maoists' violent ways, but anyone who has lived in the villages (or cities for that matter) of Nepal should be aware of police atrocities.
Of course, we need police and without them life would be impossible. But they need to go through a see change in their attitude to policing before they start inspiring public confidence.

To hell with the police and the PSA. Send in the army and instill some order in the country. Laat ko bhoot baat le mandaina.
