Is there any political solution in Nepal?
Never. It never was.

Please try the recipe for the tea of optimism.
1. 1/2 cup of optimism
2. 1/4 th cup of humor
3. 1/4 th cup of listning (reading) to other opinions
4. One small pint of exercise
Once you have this cup of tea you will see that there is a lot of hope and a good future awaiting Nepal. Ups and Downs are nature of the society, just like every thing else. Nepal is going through tough times for sure. It is in a process of getting the best out of itself. "Leadership emerges in Crisis" I read this somewhere. Nepaleese have never been so involved in politics. This is a history defining moment for democracy. Ten years from now we will all think about the current situation and say may be it was a good thing..

Dear Mr. D:
I once heard somewhere that where there is trouble, there is also an opportunity. Do you know that some people become millionaires during the Great Depression in the US? Like you, my friend, there was a time when I used to be discouraged by the smallest of problem that lay before me. However, over the years, the life of a struggling foreign student in the US has taught me one thing: there are two ways to look at a situation. You can either see it as a problem and be discouraged and lose hope, or see it as a challenge and come up with strategies to overcome it.
We only see the fruit of what the settlers and the early immigrants worked hard for. the hard working people of the United States of America did its fair share of hard work before it became what it is today. The fresh immigrants from Asia and Latin America and Africa still work very hard to make America what it is today. So, let us not lose hope before even trying to solve the various problems that face our country, be it geo-political, educational, economic, etc.
In our country, we need revolutionary changes in all fronts. However, in my opinion, everything starts with the mental attitude of the common Nepali. One thing Israeli forein minister Shimon Peres said has always stuck in my head thatThe infrastructure of hate is not hardware based but software based, we cannot destroy that infrastructure with tanks and guns, for it is in the minds of the Palestinian youth. Most Nepalese don't have high expectations for themeselves, nor do they think highly of themselves. This inferiority complex causes many of our youth to not have any drive to succeed, soar to unprecedented heights, in my opinion. We have to restore the hope for our youth somehow back home, heal their wounded pride. Our generation that have acquired skills overseas and have builit bridges with the rest of the world are the only hope for Nepal. If we don't take the chance, then we will never know what we could have done......let us not have any regrets in our death bed. Let us act my kind friends, let us do everything in our poor to bring about positive changes in our own soil.

If ever Nepal does not go through tough times that will be called abnormal situation. When there is always hoplessness, being little bit hopeful can makes somebody sick. First Rana oligarchy, then ten years of turmoil, then panchayat era, then democracy, now maoist conflict, soon may be Nepali congress split and so on. Too many leaders emerged so far but for WHAT? for groupism, class conflicts?. No unity at all. Auta Hatle Tali Bajdain. Even people don't elect a single majority party.
Of course it is in the process of getting matured democracy but seems like this process may die before even getting matured. If all became leader who will be left as a voter. If everyone wants to be rich and powerful or in straight forward words just want kursi who will stay on the floor.
Not all people can tap the opportunity. It's not the matter of single person. Whole nation is falling behind every years and people need environment to work hard. Is that the environment that Nepal offers to its people?
Preaching a morale is very easy. That's what everybody does in Nepal and say be optimistic. But the country is in the whirlpool of kursi seeking people who will never overcome this dillema. If you don't look for kursi and think of people kursi will follow you. Like once Lincoln said 'politicians think about next election, patriot thinks about the future of the country'. In Nepal, they don't even think of about election, they just wants to take over in half way. So, who will come up with strategy? I don't think there is lack of strategy either. Everybody has strategy for Nepal and that's the biggest problem. What Nepal lacks is unity. That's what I'm crying for.
Nepalis also have mind set of palestinians in many ways - hopelessness the most. In this environment which common Nepali can be optimistic and to what extent? We can say one thing: Jo karta hai bhagban bhala hi karta hai. Nothing else.

Why Bush and Al Gore had almost equal votes?
Reason, they did not have much differences. They
did not have real leadership shown to public, I mean what
speciality each owns was not known to public.
What does it means?
It means they never passed through any crisis.
They were never tested in crisis.
They did not have to take leadership during crisis.
Thus, they are not different.
So, what?
Great Leaders emerge out of crisis.
Now, Bush is being tested against Crisis "Terrorism".
Similarly, Deoba is now being tested against crisis "Maoist Problem
and internal fighting in NC".
As similarly as KG mentions that he as foreign student in USA,
has learned many more things than a US borned student can
learn, and when he will go to job market, KG has more chances
to be good leader than a US borned professional. That is
why in technology development aspect, US praises students
from develping countries where peoples have faced many
problems and passed through series of personal, and public
crisis and can develop new technologis to tackle those
crisis. So, you should take CRISIS positively and if you are
good think tank / manager, then, you will turn out to be
millionnaire or leader out of the CRISIS, but, if you fail,
then, you will either suicide or become begger.
Which path do you select? Its your choice and ability.
Keep it up.

Dear HahooGuru you can't compare crisis of terrorism with not supporting the extension of emergency. Deuba has done his job best in terms of tackling Maoist problem but did others let him succeed? What is the outcome of his efforts - parliament dissolution and fresh election? Isn't there anything else to do other than going on election? Can he not just muster support? Can Girija not stay out of government's path? This is Nepal's permanent crisis. Terrorism might be defeated but unity in Nepal is very rare thing to see.

Nepali Prime Minister, Mr. Sher Bahadur Deuba prefers to fight with the guerrillas at the moment but he wished to talk with the insurgents at times when his political rival was in power. While the then Prime Minister preferred bullets. Some experts commented that political parties are not as worried, as they should have been about the country and the present ambience. Some experts even commented that the number of casualties given by security forces might have been exaggerated to gain support for their stand.
