we are the greedy and the needy generation

we are the youth of the age of "globalisation". few decades ago most of the youth would still be "here" and by here i mean "home" and by home i mean "nepal". it is grand to see nepalese youth doing so well in many corners of this round globe! many of you hold prestigious, respectable, and high paying jobs that most ordinary nepalese people do not even earn in their entire lifetime (but if a nepali was a cat and if they had nine lives then yes they could definitely earn what you non resident high paying job holder nepalese are earning!) makes me wonder what would a nepali do with nine lives when they find it hard to live one single life in nepal. no wonder the youth flee at the first opportunity they get. when i say "flee" i am not labeling you a coward or a "judas". you just flee, under various circumstances. and by fleeing i mean you never wish to see the face of nepal until you are so bloody homesick that you can think of nothing but the old streets you once walked upon, the hills and the mountains you used to gaze at, and the same fucking dal bhat you cannot live without! and then you come to nepal and then once you are in nepal you talk absolute shit about nepal and nepali like you are not a nepali anymore. and all you end up seeing are the problems but not the opportunities that lie beneath. most of you want everything readymade like the burgers you get at McDonalds or at White Castle! you want everything at your fingertips!

i am not the only one who feels like this and when i look around i can hardly find my classmates in nepal anymore. i do not need you and nor am i the needy type. i do not need you and i can assure u of that. you need nepal. you cannot run from nepal no matter how much you want to. nor can u deny the fact that you do need nepal. it is your identity! that is why most of you living abroad suddenly find the "om" t-shirt so enchanting!!!!! you suddenly find the word "Mt.Everest" or "Buddha" as your last resort through which you are recognised by a khairey!!!!!! "Ah! so you are from the land of Mt.Everest!/ the land of Lord Buddha!!" recounts the khairey and deep inside you feel proud and your chest fills with pride unlimited! why? it is not because you are an inherently proud person but because you are being recognised and with recognition comes some semblance of acceptance! you need nepal. and if you think nepal does not need you, you are fooling yourself big time! yes big time! we need nepal and nepal needs us. it is as simple as that. it is the fine balance that is the ultimate truth but the balance is being toppled now and will continue to do so.

i say what is left to do in the big, developed western countries? what really is left to do? i am not asking you the question. i am asking you to ask yourself this question! i say, except for finding a cure for AIDS and cancer and to find out how to make the most out of stem cells, they have figured out pretty much everything. and many of you will still argue pointing to me that there is yet more to be done there. and i can think of few things like the possibilities of cracking the mystery to "teleporting", "time travel", "making more efficient drugs", "discovering the gene to youthfulness or for anti aging(for that matter)", or discovering the drug to make hairy chicks and dudes hairless! 

i ask again- what is left to do in nepal? the list is endless and within that endless list i see possibilites!!! tons of possibilites!! there is so much to be done here my fellow nepalese! from getting a girl child educated to getting nepal on the global map. there is so much to be done. getting a road constructed to the village you came from to getting clean water to every house! from constructing better roads to constructing a better future for the children! well pardon me for having said constructing a better future for the children cuz i forgot that your children will be growing up in the developed countries and they would be studying with the khairey ka baccha bacchi haru under the highly educated khaireys! and pardon me also for saying constructing better roads and better this and better that! you are already living in the better world so why even bother because nepal is only something you read in the news and discuss in parties with beer in your hands! all of you are so highly educated that nepal is small for you. there is absolutely nothing you can do here cuz you think you will run the rish of being humiliated with a job that you think a gauley will do! well, nepal on the global map is far worse than even a gaun(village)! and you happen to belong to that worse-off-than-gaun on the global map country "nepal". what makes you think you are so advanced under that khairey skin you are wearing??? 

i have abused you enough. that was my anger pouring out cuz i am hot-headed and if you could look beyond my rant i do have a point. what is nepal going to do without most of its skilled youth? how far will nepal go without you? you can "be the difference". would you not rather want to "be the difference" than just make the already developed countries more developed? would you not be more satisfied by trying to take nepal forward rather than helping to further the causes of an already developed nation? the country needs its skilled,highly qualified youth now more than ever.

please come back when u still can make a difference and come back only if you want to help nepal and not if you want to help yourself to a nice relaxing vacation! 

when your house catches fire you do not desert it, you do your best to put the fire out before any harm is done. nepal is burning! the decision is yours!

on that note
