I became regular visitor of sajha for some time now and I try to read as many posts as I can to enhance my knowledge about politics (and hope?) and all. Being a resident of DC Metro area, I also try to join in as many local programs as I possibly can. I made some observations in these 2 different places, and I'm going to share it with you guys here.
When I go to local events, there is an intorduction/recognition of local organization (about 100 orgs. in this region) leaders who are present. Most of them give short speech. It's hard to understand them coz 90% so called local leaders talk craps or bullshit whatever you prefer to call it. Most of them don't have leadership quality, knowledge, vision, or whatever needed to lead the organization to a different direction or level. They make you wonder same kinda nepali leadership in the US as well. However, they work hard to make the program successful and get along with others very well (team work). I enjoy the event (political discussions, cultural program, movie show, and what not) and go back again when I can. Still, I have hard time accepting them as leaders of the community.
When I first started reading sajha leaders (no need to mention who they are), my first impression was WOW! It was a great relief to see such intellectual, highly knowledgable people who could argue, counter-argue, defend their statements, prove their statements, admit their mistakes, accept others ideas, and most importantly they were all worried about the country. I thought, man, these are my leaders, true leaders who could lead our country in the right direction. I was proud of my country that produced these people with great quality. I was hopeful that everything will be alright once this generation takes over the leadership of Nepal. I was even mad at some sajha leaders who are still not in the leaders board while being in the DC metro area.
My second impression was, WAIT a minute! Do these leaders have the quality to be a true leader other than their knowledge? Like it or not, the leaders have to get along with people and sacrifice their life the country/people. I talked to myself, can they really do that? get along with others? Oh, that's really tough! can they sacrifice their life for others? and there is no gurantee that they will get anything in return... I was like, OH BOY! we won't be lucky enough to see these leaders leading our country.
So, who will lead our country in the future? The local leaders I mentioned above who are friendly, get along with people easily, listen to others, and have no idea what they are doing or taking or have no vision whatsoever!
And, I was worried about these sajha leaders. What will happen to them? And I found the answer. They will be the ADVISORS of our local leader who will lead our country!
And I was relieved again thinking at least we will have good political, financial, etc. advisior who I enjoyed reading at SAJHA.COM
And at the end, I felt STUPID for not understanding it in the first hand. Isn't that what's happening in Nepal? There are leaders and we know all about their qualities. Does Nepal lack intellectuals, knowledgable people? NOT really!
Now what? Life goes on. I'd like to go back to sajha forum and enjoy reading my sajha leaders. They must have said a lot already since the parliament is dissolved! I just need to NOT to expect too much from my leaders! That's all.

A good observation. I personally know some sajha leaders who are pain in the butt, but I can't deny the fact that they are good. Talking leadership and being a leader are 2 different things. The only person who is talking less and doing more is SAN...

Neta,
From your observation, I can make one more comments to
support you is as follows:
San is the government.
Rest of the Sajha.com writers are opposition leaders,
because they keep on demanding. They have no power or
access to Sajha.com to do something except talk or discuss.
Remaining Readers are Janata. They have to take or leave out
of what San Provides and other opposition bench writes.
Just for fun.

Dear Janata,
SAN is your boss. He has ability to throw you out of this website. So, donot use that kind of word "Hell". It is not good to use whatsover. For your info. SAN maintain this whole website and watch your each email and your profile. If you still need more clarification, post more thing here.

Recently, on one evening, at Martin Chautari, I participated in a 2-hour-long discussion with Nepali student leaders.
The student leaders were:
Gagan Thapa (representing Congress-supported Nepal Student Union);
and Khim Lal Bhattarai, and Yogendra Shahi (representing
UML-supported Akhil).
Gagan, Khim and Yogendra -- who are all in their mid-30s -- came across as self-aware, self-critical and very articulate Nepalis, concerned about Nepal and Nepal ko bikas.
These gentlemen pretty much portrayed themselves as politicians-in-waiting, the young ones who have learnt from the mistakes of the present crop of leaders, and are determined to be and do better when their time came. They seemed certain
that in 15 to 20 years' time, yes, they would be running the country.
What struck me, throughout their presentation, was the certainty all of them
had about their own destiny.
So, these people are going to be our leaders :-)

Their qualification to run the country: (they had great ability to do following things)
1. To call for School Bandh
2. Ta call for College Bandh for all reasons, when no reason
create it. Dherai padhai bho, thorai padhai bho, padhai bhayena.
3. Vandalize street when their mother political party needed
4.Vandalize others property whoever disagreed.

What else qualification they had?
5. They were studying Bachelor for 8 years. e.g.
-------My former classmate Mr. Khag Raj Adhikari in Pokhara's
PN Campus studied intermediate for 4 years and then Bachelor
at least 4 years and finally became MP.
Looks like Ashu referenced person "MID 30", and they are also
spending all the time in college switching from one school to
another (dept.) .... What educational qualification they have?
They don't how to clear things, but, they know how to
stay in the subject or in the chair or how to manipulate
things. Its sad that MID 30, peoples are still student leader.
Sorry to be sarcastic or pessimistic, but, I am afraid the sole
problem in Nepal is because of such "OLD STUDENTS" in Nepal.

PS: Whats the problem with my postings, I have to break into
two pieces. Even such lenghted postings too. San ji, help me.
