MIss her!
Love.......so familiar but so strange, so refreshing but so much suffocating......... Forgive me for no guilt. Punish me for no crime. Hate me for the obsession. Kill me every night with the sweet voice. Hit me every day with the unfulfilled passion. Never stop hating me. You know that you are loved, you can afford to hate me. Love never produces hate, even if it is reciprocated with hate. Love, a self destruction button.......but does it matter? What's the use of existence without her?

nada
Bright light over the tree was not doing much justice to the table set right beneath the tree. But justice….hmm…….isn’t it a velvet gown that detaches haves from haves not? Haves live the life while all haves not could do is surrender life to a game of poker. Haves doesn’t necessarily represent the wealth neither does life to the process of inhaling and exhaling. It is the feeling of suffocation experienced only by the man whose head is wrapped inside an air-proof polythene. He fights relentlessly till he suffers brain death…..a sweet gift courtesy of hypoxia or anoxia. Have you ever imagined living the life under sea with all your lungs inflated? That’s what a melancholy stricken man does. The only difference is the longevity to which this torment extends. His sea is the hopelessness and his fear is the life itself.
At the first thought, I fancied the tree shed its branches. But wouldn’t it have been suicidal to think of depriving something of its arête? Oh boy!!!!!!!!!!……..how I could relate myself to that naked tree standing there, making every living beings scared of its inevitable fall. Then in the second thought, the branches were not the impediments. It was the refuge from heat and the fuel of many animals. It always keeps me wondering, what makes them want to live. Or is it something that can be explained only from rationalization of evolutionary ideas? Why does a mouse run away from a cat? Don’t ask why a mouse avoids a cat but think about what happened to all other kinds of mice or god-knows-what other creatures that didn’t run away from it? How can we be sure that we are not destined to be sucked up in that vacuum of purposelessness or the inevitability of being yet another victim? Are we running away just to save ourselves? I fear the moment when lungs simply give up to this frustrating game of hide and seek …….or its namesake…… the life.
Does a high rise building do a justice to a hopeful pursuit? I think all it does is to make the free fall even easier…free fall instead of that slippery slope all man must undergo from the moment a sperm meets an ovum. They become the victim of insatiable hunger. All they could do is wallow in the tidal waves of unlimited, unquenchable desires.
What then is everything after all? Zip……..nada………nothing…………nothing is the microcosm of everything just like a jail is the microcosm of earthly reality. A god is nothing, an evil is nothing, I am nothing , you are nothing. All of us are the product of chances. Everything is a gamble with no risk or gain. Gamble is nothing without risk. Our very existence is gamble and hence nothing. All of us are nothing. We are Just a probabilistic outcome that bears no significance. We are just like that light above the tree.

Eleeeeeeeeeeeectricity chaos
State of Electricity in Nepal
No one knows who is to be blamed but the victim is undoubtedly a Nepali residing in Nepal. A Nepali has become synonymous of a helpless face; a face whose reflected image resembles a stone-aged man without the mirror being in fault. A Nepali wrestles with the dark, too much busy blaming the system, while its neighbors go on for their third or fourth or god-knows-how-many nuclear experimentations.
To cut the story short, I have listed some of my random thoughts:
1. Maximum hours a Nepali gets to see electricity without any accessories = 6. And do not forget that not all of the 147,181 sq. km. of Nepal is wired.
2. Given the number of hours, are we not better off getting rid of that [“hatti ko mukhh ma jira”] 6 hours too? Our communist government would certainly benefit by not having to censor press or internet. Good way to sustain communism………… comrades.
3. Our prime minister accused “years of dormancy” as the sole factor that led to present havoc. We are impatient to hear your plans too. Your plans better not be “we are the one of the richest country in hydroelectricity” and “we can power up whole Asia”; show us the strategy as to how you are going to power up Nepal (too naive to dream about lightning up already lighted ones). You dexterously maneuvered politics of hype and vanity. Now it is the high time you show that you are a snake with venom and that you were not wearing a mask bought from Indian market. Dear PM, your guerilla warfare is responsible for not letting villages lighten up with the help of small hydro-power projects (if not the major hydro projects too).
4.”American Imperialism” and “Indian Expansionism” (two words you are infatuated with) are not something you can fight with guerilla warfare. Please demonstrate the diplomacy you had once promised (but probably never expected to have to keep up also).
5. There was a program, “aafno gau , aafai banau” (make your village yourself), which the UML government had implemented years ago and is the one thing I remember UML for. Are there any plans you have put forward that will make Nepalis long remember you and your party? Or is it just the anarchy and killings that make us forget you as a nightmare and avoid like a plague?
6. The election of Prachanda as PM is farce. People are as much complicit as Maoists leader is in killing thousands and torturing millions. Torn apart between Lainchaur and Beijing, he is creepily meandering in Nepali politics.
7. NRS 236 billion worth of budget aims to see NRS 65 billion in the form of foreign support. Is this the move towards financial stability? Or stressing of parasitic nature of communism?
8. Instead of embracing the hydro power project as the panacea of Economic miseries, there needs to be detailed technical, economical, political studies about whether this really is beneficial to Nepal. After all, we might be better off with small hydroelectric project than mega projects. Large external investment in small economy like Nepal might have detrimental effect on overall economic health of the country. Lessons should be learned from Itaipu and Yacyreta mega-hydroelectric projects in Paraguay.
9. Bipartisan politics is required if we are not to continue Tanakpur-Mahakali type of jumble. There should be common national interest rather than a party’s interest when dealing with such mega projects that bear implication on Nation’s economy for decades.
10. Decentralization of hydro-power project could be one of the alternatives to the massive projects. This can give rise to the boom in small industries that produce turbines required for those small scale projects. Home produced turbine could have chain effect in booming nation’s economy; country can prosper by creating jobs while reducing dependency on foreign oil and fuel-woods. Since small scale projects do not require building of dam or reservoir, it could be something that can thrive even in poor economy. Massive current of rivers certainly is on people’s side; all we possibly need might be a helping hand from government, without having the government to look up to economic giants/players for mercy.
11. Low cost Photovoltaics could be another alternative to kerosene lit villages of Nepal. For details, click on this link.
12. For reference purpose, this link provides the list of the power projects in Nepal.
13. Here is the map of the Nepal with major rivers. Click here for the image with more detailed view of the rivers:

ReAlItY
How many innocent lives would you crucify?
Memento Mori and let others Carpe Diem.
When will Buddha inspire these heartless creatures into following his Nirvanic path?
