Make sure that history doesn't repeat, Mr. Sharif!

Make sure that history doesn't repeat, Mr. Sharif!

Just as Pakistan's Nawaz Sharif, the apparent winner of the historic election was busy in talks to form a new government, the congratulatory messages he received from the Indian Prime Minister and the US President are obviously significant. The way both the leaders extended their readiness to work "as equal partners" with the new government of Pakistan indicates that the United States and India are ready to work closely with a democratically elected government in Pakistan. Moreover, for India, this would be an opportune time to recuperating or improve its relations with its (foe) neighbor. (I apologize for using the word (foe). Look at the way how Indian Prime Minister Dr. Man Mohan Singh addressed the congratulatory message to Sharif:

"Dear Mian Saheb, I am writing to extend to you my heartiest congratulations on your emphatic victory in the general elections in Pakistan."

Though former Prime Minister Sharif's comeback is stunning, I think I too should not hesitate to congratulate him for his comeback. Please accept my congratulations, Mr. Sharif! However, with a heavy heart, recalling to the 1999 coup, I would like to caution Mr. Sharif: "Please make sure that the history doesn't repeat."

The great Paramananda !!!

I regret reminding you people about what I had narrated earlier...say some three years back. I am reminding you people again about what I was "informally and off the record" told by a Madhesi leader about what was going to happen after the ouster of great Gyanendra.

I once again regret to recall...I was branded "regressive" by some of my intelligent friends when I told them what the Madhesi leader had told me "off-the-record".



Now, would you mind admiting that the situation is fast moving on the same track??? That is--the demand of so-called "One Madesh One Pradesh", right to self-determination and group entry of Madhesi people into the Nepal Army..and the latest -- the oath in Hindi???



This was what the Madhesi leader had told me. Let me quote the leader: "See, Madhesi leaders in no way are ready to stay under the Pahade or Girija's rule...they will not be ready to be guided by Pahade politics...they (Madhesis) will demand an autonomous state with the right to self deternimation after the fall of monarchy here...then they will go for a referendum to declare Madhes as a buffer zone (state) after some years...and finally they will go for yet another referendum to get the "mandate" of the Madhesi people to.... (guess???) "because Madhesi people have good ties with the people of Indian neighbouring states (great Lalu's Bihar, Jharkhanda, and UP) in terms of religion, culture, tradition, marriage, mama ghar, phupu ghar, etc etc..."



Now wouldn't it be wise for us to take this way that the great Paramananda's oath of secrecy in Hindi as a seed to yield their "fortune"? Now guys, let's be more practical and try to judge by ourselves, not blindly follow what our leaders or four parties or seven parties decide. We say our nationality is at stake. This is not enough...It is high time we unite and fight back our enemies, conspirers.



No, we are not doubting Madhesi population's love and commitment towards Nepal. But we must caution the genuine Madeshi population to be aware of conspiracies being hatched by a handful of "pro-Indian" group, persons or elements to disintegrate Nepal in the name of Madhes.



Isn;t this enough for today??? This is not meant to hurt anyone, neither the Pahade or the Madhesi community. This is simply to warn the Nepali population from the Terai, hills and the mountains to be aware!!!

Pls answer: What is PRESS FREEDOM ???

What is Press Freedom?

-- Sitting on piles and piles of newspapers to ensure that they are not distributed.

-- Hijacking printed papers to ensure that readers are barred from being informed.

-- Boasting of doing a great job by making a joke of working journalists by discouraging them by barring newspapers from delivering.

NOW should I take the courage to say that only a genuine journalist understands how he/she struggles the whole day for a piece of news. And imagine what he/she feels when his/her hard work goes astray the other day!!!

GOT my point? If not, damn it!!! After all this is the common trend. It is a human nature. YOU keep on ignoring minor stuff...BUT remember you will be compelled to understand when you come across the same situation.

NOW, allow me to ask a question, which could be "bitter" to those who are ideologically a supporter of press freedom, but practically a blatant critic of press freedom.

Question: When will the time come when a Nepalese journalist can work in a professional way...without hinderances...without pressures...without political intervention...without threats...without ....?

I am sorry if my question is absurd for a person like YOU.

Wish you luck!!! After all we are in a transitional phase...Let's be optimistic that the day would come when a journalist maintains total freedom and professionalism.

Tell me please!!!

Can anyone tell me (in brief--since I must consider the time constraint) what LOKTANTRA is?

Is it the same definition that Abraham Lincoln coined or it is something the other way round? I am confused! Should I be optimistic and wait for your kind consideration or should I give up?

You might be wondering as whay this "nepalimind" is trying to ransack his brainbox just for the sake of loktantra. Because, reasons are many, which could even hurt you or some others like you.

Wait for the right time so that I can make my mind open to say what I am trying to tell you. Nothing to worry about. Have patience...and the world is YOURS!!!

Blogging with a difference! Can I handle it?

When I was quite a young boy, this world was only an open air theater for me. I did not know what was life and my role to play in it. I kept on pondering what the world was. What was life all about!!!

Now that I am a grown up person with not so high ambitions. My ambitions in life...(still unclear)!!! Even if I mention here, I am sure it goes unnoticed.

Now, my only concern is about blogging. I often keep on irritating my intelligent friends here...throwing arrows of queries on blogging. I ask them what is all about blogging. Who is a blogger? What we get by blogging? Who blogs? What is meant by blogging? Is blogging a blogging?

My intellegent, smart but yet sluggish friends then boast of being great bloggers and start explaining to me about blogging. "You know...blogging means this..blogging means that...!"

NONSENSE!!!

Now that I too have joined you guys. Wait and see how I come to you. See whether I would be able to make a difference since I have entered into the blogging arena with a difference because "It's all about making a difference!"
