Lets talk on Ghush Khanu, khwaune and Pachaune. Its time we talk on how to make them Vomit the GHUSH. Now, the biggest problem in Nepal regarding corruption is almost all the govt. officers take bribe and criticize others taking it, as if they are clean. Most of sons/daughters of elite govt. officers make lot of fun on others having ghush, while they don't ask their parents to take ghush. Some of such elite Nep. kids are hanging here too. My solution method: 1. I don't take ghush. Well, you might start saying that "hey, don't have chance to get ghush so you are shouting here of not taking ghush.". When I had offer to have ghush and share with boss, when I was Khane Pani Lalitpur Sakha ko Engineer, I did decline the offer and my boss asked me to go to Pokhara to celebrate New Years Day, when returned from Pokhara an Overseer signed on my behalf "Engineer bida ma baseko le, nimitta bhai ... pramadit garne".... Do you have such guts. At least, I have not taken any ghush yet in return any things done by me or requested others to do the job on my recommendation. I can claim it. 2. If possible don't pay Ghus too, when some of the things can be done by waiting some additional time, e.g. Telephone line, GPO Box, jagga kin-bech, .... Avoid taking things to Nepal that requires huge amt. of money as custom clearance. 3. Some time, you want to get your things done as early as possible because of some reasons like there is no other way than paying ghus. Then, I suggest you to pay: while you pay or going to pay such ghush, its better you accompany someone else too, so that he also witness how you are paying it. Then, when you get your jobs done, let the world know that you have paid Ghush and how much paid. At least now you can used Sajha.com and let peoples know that you have really paid. Since you had one witness, there is reason to believe it. I do pay ghus when I have no substitute, but, I clearly tell that such and such person took ghus. There are many places where you can not adopt the method pointed in two. In this way, you can survive in Nepal and also we can help in reducing the corruption. Example: When I went to register a company "Net Consultants Pvt. Ltd." several years when NET word was not so important, the clerk asked few rupees in return to speeding up the work, I said I don't have money to pay you for speeding up the work. Next time, I went there to register another Company, and the guy ".... Pokharel" in the registration Faat was asking Bholi and Bholi and I did not pay him a koudi, because there were many lekhan das "so called Lawyers", roaming around him and suddenly I found a scene he "The Pokharel" opened his Table drawer and the lekhan dar suddenly put a bunch of folded 100 rupees inside the drawer and closed instantly. I am sure that is Ghus for speeding up the work. "Oh, tyasari po khada rahechhan ta Ghush". Thats why lingering our work, yo bhayen u bhayen..... finally, I reached to the boss and said "Ma kati din dhaune ho sir". Then, The Pokh was angry with me for complaining his boss. Yes, I paid Ghush in GPO office, because I did not know the guy was asking it ghus, because he gave me receipt, later I found it a real ghush. I still have that receipt. Once I went to pay Malpot on behalf of someone else, the Malpot was 30paisa, and the Baidar of Malpot asked me buy one Filter Churot for him while he prepared the Rashid. If I remebered correctly the guy was not from the same section because the main guy was out and he was working on others behalf and "euta churot lyaidiine bhe ma gari diula ... ". These day, I carry my Digital Camera and Voice Recorder, and record all conversatoins. So, Police to govt. peoples think that I am journalist. Last Nov. I went to see off someone at TIA, and when I was waiting outside, a person entered inside TIA and the Police misbehaved the guy. I was really disappointed with the particular police. I took his photograph using my digital camera, and he was asking kina liyeko. I told him this is public place and you have no control over me, and do you know you are getting job from our tax. . . . . Then, he asked me "Are you a journalist? ", I said no, and someone came to rescue me voluntarily and said, "waha ko manche bhitra janu huda liyeko photo ni, tapai ko kina hunthyo........ " That police went inside and was sitting in a chair reading newspaper. Unfotunately, I lost my all photographs because the SmartMedia crashed in my computer, a Sad story. I would surely wanted to post it here. So, lets do documentation of all corrupt officer and their agents, we can change it. Since we don't have power to punish these corrupts by sending them in Jail, but, we can make a propaganda at least let people know. Unfortuntely, everyone knows Govinde, Khume, Bame took ghush, but, what happened to them? Well, if you come up with solide proof of paying ghus, then, we can surely make a noise and awareness to people. We need to have public awareness. This is only possible by letting peoples know that such and such peoples take ghush, and such and such methods can avoid such ghush. Ghus Khanu Bhachha ya Khwaunu Bhachha bhane Kripaya Yaha "THAHA" Dinue Hola. HahooGuru

Part II: Some Examples on Ghushyaharu ko Another method of Ghus taken in Banks: You need money to go to HongKong to buy some goods to sell in Nepali market. In HongKong there are some agents who accumulate dollars from Nepalis working around the world via Hundi. Thus, if you can pay some money in Nepal in return to getting dollars in HongKong, you can buy huge amoutn of goods. So, how to get such money instantly? Its how they do trick in Ratriya Banijya Bank in New Road area and Bishal Bazzar. In Friday, after all biz. close, the bank manager, and khajanchi open the Shelf and lend the amount of money required to the biz. peoples, and the biz. peoples transfer it to those whose money is collected in HongKong or elsewhere, and in HongKong his agents start buying goods. In Saturday, he returns to Nepal with goods. On Sunday, he distributes to local retailers and dealersl, and collects money. In early Monday morning, the bank opens and money is replaced secretly. Thus, Manager and Khajanchi get the share, who losses? Bank itself. Because of lot of red tapes, Bank has difficult rules for those who want to have money for 2-3 days like this bix. in example. So, more rules mean more room for corruption. and Bank can not give money in loan, but, manager and khajanchi give it one loan. Thus, Manager and khajanchi make durbar jasta ghar, while Nepal Bank and Rastriya Banijya Bank are in the verge of collapse. How Private Banks operate? Private Banks give loan to peoples and they have floating account. But, there is a trick in making money. They don't give loan directly to the peoples, but, ask peoples to put some "Bandhki" "achal property", thus, they ask some agents to submit the valuation. Who are the agents? The Bank Peoples own daju bhai or relative ko Valuation company, and if you want to do valuation from other company they will put lot of red tapes or the Bank does not recognize them.. Thus, you have to pay some % for valuation of your achal sampati. And, the % share will be shared by Bank 's top employees. If you don't know or don't trust me, I can introduce someone who had paid such money and know it very well that its a real trick. The valuating company was the Bank Onwers son's company. HahooGuru

HahooGuru, your assessment of currption : How it's done and who does it is very good one. "Afno anga ma jumra nadhekne, arka ko anga ma vhaisi dekhne" attitude is common among every body. As a member of Nepali socieity, I take responsibility for it too. We as a society failed to associate bribery as disgraceful, filthy and shameful thing. As long as one builds big banglow, sends his/her daughter/son to expensive schools and eventually to America/Europe/India in self finance, buys pajero, we as society, are so quick to accord him/her how successsful he/she is. For example, " mero jwai ...ahile vansar ma hakim hunuhuncha .waha ko ramro cha.";" mero sathi DSP cha, mero chora ko license banaidyo"; and so on and so forth are the common statements we don't even hesistate to declare with pride. Bribery is institutionalized. The common thinking among us is ( except minuscule some) as long one makes money it doesn't matter how he or she makes it. Despite knowing salary of our fathers/mothers do not even cover the fraction of our school fees, we never bother to ask or think how does all this money come or may be we are too busy riding the latest motorcycle our father has bought on ours birthdays. We just don't know. But we know one thing we know how to act and think as if we are pontiffs of morality and quick on pointing others how others are marinated in ghush. Always the attitude is everybody bad except me or my father/ mother. You may think, I must be son of one of those fat cats and this writing is result of my guilt consciousness! Well I wish I were. My father, despite being government employee, how come he never managed to pay my tuition fee on time. And I was not even attending STX, BudaNilkantha or Lincoln. My school was public school. Given the Nepali society and it’s expectation and it’s moral view, my father is stupid stupid and stupid not to take ghush. What he has got doing that? Scorn from his friends and relatives. Certainly not gold medal. But well I will not let that happen to me. If I return to Nepal and get government job, and if all the norms and (moral) expectation of society remain unchanged, I will out-ghush any known ghusyaha. I will make sure my son get to ride thunderous Harley in the street of Kathmandu and I will make house bigger than Narayanhiti Rajdarbar. Btw, after that, I will think of investing some of the money on the good business plan you guys mentioned here in one of the thread.
