Ministers taking oath this evening in National Planning Commission Hall. They didn’t go to the royal palace to take oath. Pics by Bikas Rauniar
After days of tough bargaining the Seven Party Alliance (SPA) has formed a 7-member Council of Ministers with CPN UML leader K P Sharma Oli as the deputy to Prime Minister and Nepali Congress president Girija Prasad Koirala. Oli also holds the foreign affairs portfolio. N C Democratic leader Gopal Man Shrestha is a new Physical Planning (Awas tatha bhautik yojana) minister where as Ram Sharan Mahat is the Finance minister. Prabhu Narayan Chaudhari hold the Land Reform portfolio. SPA has decided to hold the oath taking ceremony somewhere outside the royal palace.

“That might be in the parliament or in a public meeting hall,” said CPN UML leader Jhala Nath Khanal minutes ago in KTV. There are still 14 posts to fill and we can expect more bargaining, especially among NC, CPN UML and NC D, in the next few days. People had expected quick decisions from the Alliance and move ahead in the path of bringing peace in the country by holding talks with the Maoist rebels. If the last week is the morning for this government, we have to conclude that we don’t see bright future.
This government already got bad press today as Kantipur, their ally in the Jana Andolan 2, criticized the Alliance for being late to form the Council of Ministers. One can only hope that the Alliance leaders will learn to take decisions swiftly and quickly so that people won’t be disappointed. As we know when people are disappointed toward a government, royalists (who haven’t died yet) will try to interpret that as a failure of democracy in Nepal. We shouldn’t let democracy (even though we know we haven’t achieved complete democracy yet) fail just because of our inability to take right decisions at right time.

Complete democracy, absolute democracy, total democracy, perfect democracy… Oough.. what a mess of jargons! As far as I know, there is nothing like absolute or perfect, even god is not perfect or absolute or complete!
Why the media is raising the false and high expectations of the people? Political leaders are also human beings and should not be squeezed too much.
UWB you better get your act together. Check this headlines out from nepalnews:
“Maoists grill photo journalist Shrestha in the capital”
Where have you condemned such acts on this blog. These people are not for democracy. Kumar Shrestha the person who took a bullet to cover the Gangabu incident, has been threatened by maoists. Where is your bloody solidarity.
Your sistrer organisation Kantipur is fast on the gun to print headlines like “CP bumps into wedding car”,
But how come this has not made it to the headlines. This incident was on Friday, today it’s Tuesday.
Media has been united to kick out Gyanendra a threat to democracy, but very slow to come together in warning the maoists – an even greater threat to democracy. Media is the fourth estate, you have to start your campaign against the undemocratic ways of the maoists, to educate the public and the maoists themselves.
I think Girija is trying to dilly dallying procces because he does not like CA. He is also a feudal character. He also wants to be a MINI King or Shri 3. The cyclone of 3rd revolution can sweep Girija and the King in the same ditch.
After all they proved them self as fool as donkey. They showed their real character once again. i don’t know how they will deal with country in this situation. After all the posts are very temporory.
THEY ARE ALL [icd]. May God give them some good idea
After all these leaders are showing their actual
MONKEY character. Although the ministerial posts are temporary they are figting on war level.
THE NEED OF THE OUR IS UNITY AMONG THEM AND MONITORING
CONSTITUENT ASSAMBLY.
It seems these greedy politicians can’t fulfill
aspiration of people.
Kantipur doesnot represent the whole mass. What if kantipur critizes?
A corrupt propaganda media organization is criticizing a bunch of corrupt leaders while supporiting the poor people killers-the maoists and paid by india.
I think all these corrupt leaders should be lined up on a street and shot dead!!! what a bunch of corrupt power hungry immoral people… I don’t think they even got a bit of teargas!! idiots!!
TIME TO SING RAJA AAU DESH BACHAUU
Corrupt leaders are criminals against the nation and should be purged from public life and punished. Rashly speaking of executions is way off base however. Return of the embezzeled funds to the nation is of primary importance.
Yes again the same corrupt face. Look at Oli, I am not sure if he passes S.L.C. but has become Foreign Minister. A pseud and a ruse Oli. All are almost same.
Kantipur is a completely biased media. It does not know imparticlity, neutrality and objectivity. It has an illussin that the young chaps working there are man-maker in the country adn they believe that they are democrat. A democrat is always neutral and tolerates and respects others views equally. They don’t have tolerance. They are scrape. Silly guys and silly minds. Why they are silent about Kumar Shrestha.

What did everyone expect. If the SPA and most are happy with Girija as PM, I dont think anything is wrong with the Ministers. After all the parliament has been reinstated,and is is natural that Ministers are chosen as per the mandate. I thought people had forgiven their past deeds and just want them to perform.
However, media have to start practicing something which is new to them – professionalism. Get out of the gutter and come on to the pavement.
Well I think we are all angry at the reported haggling and squabbling for this ministry or that. We had hoped that for once they would drop their petty party and personal interests for the good the country. I guess it was too much to expect.
You know I dont believe most of what these papers say. There is nothing but subjectivity in the news. There were reports of haggling etc. but the cabinet is already formed, so I doubt it was anything serious. One media (maybe this blog) even said that UML wanted the home ministry portfolio, but it has gone to the mild mannered MP from Congress. How can we just believe the media. They have no professionalism. Their reports from the country side is ridiculous. Their urban reports are laden heavy with personal preferences. In the editorials they do not even print articles by journalist who may have a different point of view.
Now the cabinet is formed, today’s headlines just remain as today’s headlines, and if it is just speculation the media dont even apologise, they have no sense of responsibility and now more than ever seem to think they are untouchables. Except of course when it comes to reporting or lack of reporting on the maoists.
I think Girija is there with all his dirty games.
“kukurko puchchar barha barsha dhungrama rakhyo banga ko bangai”
He only wanted ‘restoration of parliament’ so that he can become PM.
I think he doesnot see more, want more .
I fear if he again acts as armor of monarchy.
he vagwan, girija jasto neta paunu kasto durvagya nepali janatako, nepali democracyko!!!
When the popular media report they report it as if god has written it on stone, but when there is a different view to theirs they will use words like “alleged” or “allegedly”.
For example Kantipur will say in the headlines
” Prime Minister Koirala in the middle of a scam regarding the procurement of arms according to sources”
(sources???)
But if the govt. tries to explain that it was a cabinet decision to procure arms and the PM was not involved in a scam but just passed a decision forwarded by the army and home Ministry, they will write:
“Govt. says that the decision was “allegedly” legal and passed “allegedly” by the cabinet”.
Of course this puts further doubt on peoples mind, and there is no apology from the press saying they made a mistake.
Result is either the govt. gives up or tightens up. Both will bear the same results, and the media are unaccountable.
Why all the whining regarding the govt.? Nothing seems to do. Give them a chance to settle in. You want new leaders, but they also have to have the peoples mandate, otherwise why not just hand over the government to a foreign coorporation to run on a 5 year contract. Experience is also a must for being in govt., shouting and giving revolutionary bhasans might be good for street politics, but it is a far cry from running a govt. which has to be accountable to the people and in the eyes of the world.
The new leaders have to be taught first how to run a country, at the moment most of the young generation leaders are professionals at how to bring down governments.
The same fcking way.Seems the beginning of next 15 years of corruption
Yeah, Kantipur does seem to be very biased. And it’s shameful for a publication that claims to be Nepal’s leading daily. Daily rubbish?
This is an interim govt. If you all think you can do better get off your asses join the parties and demand tickets to run, or back up new leaders and ask them to demand tickets to run. Otherwise all you’ll be good as is complaining about this that the other for another decade or so.
Nepal does not have even 15 months if this government does not perform. Time is short.
So will it be Jai Hind or Lal Salam or both????
Politics can change day to day. I would not discount anything. 1 day before the andolan, the King must have thought it would be hunky dorey. 1 day before the King sacked Deuba and formed his govt. Deuba must have thought everthing was OK. Today one party or another may be down but in politics nobody is really out.
One of my friend forwarded this in my email. A 15-year-old Korean student wrote it re! It’s weird but eye-opening to many nepali….Please do read it:
Nepalis complain about the caste system and corrupt officers. They Openly vent their anger against the government. But have they ever thought About Nepal’s real problems? I believe that they have not. I want to say that Nepal’s real problems are lack of patriotism among the people and lack of love for one another. This is the conclusion I have reached during my stay. This summer, I did voluntary work from July 5 to July 30 at FHI Ever Vision
School, Matatirtha, Kathmandu.
Let me first tell you about my country,Korea. This might help you understand my point. Just after the Korean War, which claimed lives of
more than 5 million Koreans, Korea was one of the poorest countries in the world. Without natural resources, Korea had no choice but to desperately struggle for its survival by all means. Under this gloomy situation, Koreans
envied other Asian countries like Japan,Taiwan, and Nepal.
Korean government officials were horribly corrupt. With the dual classes of Yangban (nobles) and angnom(peasants), Korean society was sickening day by day. However, Koreans, having determination to become rich, overcame the unfair social structure and put the country onto the track of development.
When the former president Park Jung Hee took over the government, there were few factories in Korea. Korea could not attract loans or expect foreign investments. Under these circumstances, President Park ‘exported’ miners and nurses to then West Germany. The salaries that they earned were used to building factories and promoting industrialization of Korea.
In 1964, when President Park visited then West Germany, the miners and nurses asked the president when the Koreans would become rich. The president replied, crying with the miners and nurses, that someday the Koreans would become rich. Many of Korean scientists and engineers, who could just enjoy comfortable lives in the United States, returned to Korea with only one thing in their mind: the determination to make Korea the most powerful and prosperous country in the world. They did their best even though their salaries were much less than what they would have received in other
countries.
The Koreans believed that they have the ability to change their desperate
situation and that they must make the country better, not only for themselves but also for the future generations yet to come.
My parents’ generation sacrificed themselves for their families and the country. They worked 14 hours a day, and risked their lives working under inhumane conditions. The mothers, who went to work in factories, fed their babies while operating machines in dangerous environments. They always tried to teach their children the true value of ‘hard work’. Finally, all of these hard works and sacrifices made the prosperous Korea that you see now.
Nepalis, have you ever cried for your country? I heard that many of Nepali youth do not love their Nepal. I also heard that they want to leave Nepal because they don’t like caste system, or because they want to escape the severe poverty.However, they should be the first ones to voluntarily work for Nepal’s development, not the first ones to complain and speak against
their country.
I have a dream that someday I would be able to free the souls from suffering from the underdeveloped countries, anachronistic customs and the desperate hunger. My belief has become stronger than ever after seeing the
reality in Nepal.
A child with a fatal disease who doesn’t have enough money to buy a pill; a child living in what seems like a pre-historic dwelling and not having the opportunity to receive education; and a student who cannot succeed, no matter how hard he studies, just because of the class he comes from.
A society, in which wives not only take care of children but also work in
the fields, while their husbands waste their time doing nothing; a society
in which a five-year-old must labor in a brick factory to feed herself.
Looking at the reality of Nepal, I was despaired, yet this sense of despair
strengthened my belief.I already know that many of the Nepalis are devout
Hindus. However,nothing happens if you just pray to hundreds of thousands of
gods while doing nothing. It is the action that you and Nepal need for the
better future.
For Nepal and yourselves, you have to show your love to your neighbors and
country just as you do to Gods. You know that your Gods will be pleased
when you work for the development of your country and improvement of your lives. Therefore, please, love your neighbors and country. Teach your children to love their country. And love the working itself. Who do you think will cry for your Nepal? Who do you think will be able to respect the spirit of Himalayas and to keep the lonely flag representing it? You are the ones responsible for leading this beautiful country to a much brighter future. This responsibility lies on you.

HI guys I am back again with the same word that I was repeating from the day 1 that we got so called democracy. I was allerting all nepalese that this neta will have satta ko ladai, and you can see the result. We need to eliminate these neta, neta in the sense all those leader who are corupted and like to have satta for there personal use, it could be king or girija or madhav kumar, then only nepal will have democracy, if not then nepal will always be worst and worst.
We need to bring revolution, revolution by the people to the people and for the people.
Kantipur deserves a praise for its reporting during the autocratic royal regime. Most of mainstream reporters, writers and editors did a brilliant job.
Its not surprising that royalists (pratigamis) are deeply disappointed and spreading their venome against independant media.
Progress is always slow than aspirations. You need to have a reality check.
What the hell ? now again the parliament is going to be delayed till Thursday. Why it is like that ? They have to take the decisions very fast. Otherwise, Andolan III might be in the offing.
This is the sign of events to come. They can’t agree on cabinet. They will not be able to agree on CA. We lost 4 years because of fight between Girija and Deuba. We going to loose few more years to form CA. So please have election for HoR and ammend constitution. This is the only way to go forward.
To Eve: You are wise far beyond your years. I hope enough of us older ones listen to you.
If Kantipur has been partial, it has sided with people, their freedom and their democracy.
A big credit goes to Kantipur for it’s big contribution in this janaandolan .
I am really grateful to the team.
Now its time we all join maoist!!! Fcking leaders!!!!
Eve, this Korean girl hits a very sensitive point in nepali society.
Altruism is not very much rooted in people’s mentalities… I have seen it so many times in Nepal : selfishness is the rule.
Of course, there are indeed a bunch of nepali people with open minds, that are real patriots, but they are a tiny minority.
How many times did I see it when I was working here… So many stories I could write about that…
I remember when friends of mine (some french doctors) opened health posts in Tatopani, Beni and Kusma, in the 80’s.
Their plan was to instruct local health assistants (nurses, midwiwes) for five years and then let them do the work on their own. They found nearly nobody because of stupid caste problems and greed, the wages they payed being not high enough (it was more than correct, I can tell you) to their eyes…
Their only dream, having the qualification, was to open their own “medical shop” in Pokhara.
The cabinet is just okey and yeah, its to be completed soon…
The significant post as a home minister is given to Krishna Sitaula…Everyone knows he was the spearhead in the delhi negoiations between Maoists and the SPA. But because of three main reasons he will be under pressure, firstly, he is still a novice as he has never been a minister before (except state-minister), secondly, taking care of home ministry is never an easy task in the present conflict driven situation, thridly he will be minister who will be getting maoist into the table and negotiating with them…
His capability is under test.
This cabinate is going to be there till the elections to the constituent assembly and then there will be general elections! Who the hell cares right now who is in power. The most important thing is that the CA elections happen and we re-write the constituion! There after we need to hold general elections… i would guess the CA elections happen in November… besides I would rather put up with Oil, Mahat then Tulsi Giri and Sachit Rana
Sometimes I feel in reading this excellent blog regularly that the people who agree with UWB’s points and general attitude tend not to post comments, while those who disagree on fundamentals — cynics, monarchists, opponents of the political parties per se, and people who hate the Maoists and their mass base more than anything else — are the mostt frequent and loudest posters, giving the impression to an outside observer that opinion on the issues in Nepal tends to be largely reactionary and suspicious of democracy if not downright hostile to it. This perception though is belied by the real, as opposed to the virtual, world; by both the Maoist successes in the larger part of the country and the more recent mass outpouring of democratic and republican sentimnent in the urban streets.
I suppose the reality is that people responding to blogs represent by their very nature only a very small and definite social statum of the nation and their opinions fall in a very narrow range.
Mr. Wagle has his prejudices, no doubt, but he is open to the possibilities of the new, open to the possibilities of change, open to the emergence of a viable new Nepal.
His critics on the other hand –, with wom he is very patient , it seems to me — appear to believe that history can only repeat itself, that change is always liikely to be for the worse, that democratic processes cannot reveal, as they work their way through the debates and clashes of programs and interests in parliament and in the communities, a possibvle if difficult path of progress in which social and economic justice is linked to a robust democratic politics. Moreover,they cannot conceive that the future can be one in which the Maoists , who felt forced to break from politics as usual under the royal foot and go to the countryside where the unspoken-for reside and organize an armed struggle, in which even they will find their place and ultimately trust that the forces of reaction have been suficiently disempowered to put down their arms and contribute to the people’s debate about the future.as part of tan open polity.
The CPN (Maoist) and its supporters will undoubtedly come to the table to negotiate in good faith, but only if there is no dirty dealings with the palace, with imperialist interests, and with the really corrupt elements of society, which I believe are not the political parties (though they have been corrupt as most political parties elsewhere have been corrupt in part) but the corruption of those who systematically plunder the country, chief among whom are the supporters of the palace and the King and his clique itself.
I hope people who disagree with the Maoist analyses, stategy and tactics, can at least see that they are passionate opponents of corruption, double-dealing and contempt for the people. They have played an honest role — and a key role — in bringing about the restoration of parliament and are the ones pressing most consistently for constitutionlal changes which will make royal absolutism once and for all a thing of the past. .
I wish the ritual denunciations –form the right and the center — of the Maoists as the “greater evil” would subside as they are given a chance to re-integrate themselves into the political process. I imagine, that it is likely not to abate, but to grow even more strident..
I think Mr. Wagle has exhibited an even-handedness in his blogging that is admirable and truly encouraging of democracy. Fanatical ravings by his critics, however, about the political parties and the Maoists can only serve one interest today — that of the autocracy and enemies of restoring power to the people.
Finally, I understand people’s impatience with democratic processes after years of dictatorship , but to claim that a week of negotiations over the new cabinet somehow discredits the SPA is to hardly even give a chance for democratization to work itself out. I suspect that people who are making the most of this really quite reasonable period of partisan jockeying are either hedging their bets about democracy itself or are in fact no friends of democracy at all and wish to see it fail.
CORRECTION:
I accidentally typed “CPN (M-L) when I meant CPN (Maoist), i.e. “the Maoists”. Sorry for the mistake.Apologies to the parties.
UWB: The typing error in Mark’s comment has been corrected.
Mark R. you suppose and it’s the wrong conclusion. These are the concerns and suspicions on the streets, villages and homes of Nepal today. I must say you suppose too many things. Let’s just suppose that infact you’re views infact are in the minority. Probably a personal friend of some Maoists leader or maybe a RIM member, asked to place your two pennies worth in this blog to show a international perspective on the maoist issue.
It is hilarious that you believe that what people like me say is in the minority, when the maoists have to go around with guns to coerce people in following their views. Do you really think Nepalis wont be suspicious of people with guns and guns that they have used to deadly effect?
Anyone who calls the type of journalism that Kantipur and to some extent UWB indulge in as ‘fair’ or impartial probably don’t understand anything about the ethics of journalism.
Sure I laud Kantipur for it’s stand against the monarchy. But that alone doesn’t qualify it to be labelled an ethical entity. Within press circles they are known to ‘make’ news rather than report news.
So a person kills ten people and then saves one person. Are you going to praise him for the one life he has saved? Sorry for simplifying it to such an extent, but if you boil it to it’s essence that is what Kantipur is.
Calm down people, Rome was not built in a day. Dont expect everything to be all honky dori, like Scoop said, give them a chance, and lets wait until the CA. Too much noise is not good, Discuss what can be done , do not always criticize, and at least breath little bit of freedom that is now.
Gopal Man Singh is corrupt politician. He was implicated in a corruption case twice when he was Minister. This is his thrid stint as Minister and I am damn sure he will siphon off money to expand his plush hotel in Singapore.
IT IS THE SAME…THE LEADERS ARE CORRUPT…WE NEED VISIONARY LEADERS…NOT THE SHITTY ONES…shitty ones get shitted by nonsense Paras rascal…we need some one to shit this pagal…
In response to chankhe2….
You say Nepalis in general are afraid of the Maoists because they have taken up the gun.. But people are also afraid of debt, and poverty and exploitation and disease and economic disasters and the RNA and security forces and jailings and right-wing death squads and of the endless cycle of non-development and the worsening of worst conditions. There ar emany sources of fear, many reasons to fear. But people also look for rteasons to hope , and for some, in fact, as you know , many, hope arose in the form of the armed struggle, rightly or wrongly. I am not a Maoist, but I would seek to understand why Maoism became the force it did. Surely not because everyuone was foreced into servioce. There are underlying conditions which made the option of joining up, even if under duress in some circumstances, not the worst option. That is a misfortune, but it is not something alien to Nepali society, it grew out of its problems, political, social and economic and the inability of all the traditional forces to deal with them.
.Friiend, don’t you consider all the Maoist people with the guns to be Nepalis too? And why do they have the guns? Because there came to be a political impasse, with the dominant parties unable to resove any of Nepal’s basic problems and then exacerbated by the intervention of Gyandendra and the dissolving of parliamentary order..
The monarchy’s dictatorship managed to do what seemed impossible:: to unite the whole of civil society, from the poorest villages in the terai to the montain towns of Mustang to Kathmandu and Pokhara and so on — tfrom the armed resistance to the traditional political parties,the Congresses, the CPs — against the apex of corruption, scandal, plunder, embezzlement, nepotism, assasination — that is, against the real enemy. And also to set in motion through this a possible revitalization of all Nepal’s politics and policies, the rewriting of its constitution, the bringing of all the people into the ultimate decisions about what form of rule would be necessary for a better future for all Nepal.
The People’s War built on the real resentments of the poorest ,of the rural peoples. It did not come from no where . But it could only go so far by force of arms and grassroots organization. Now it has come to its limits and it seems to recognize this and is ready to transform itself IF THE CIRCUMSTANCES MAKE IT POSSIBLE into a difgfernt kind of force for fundamental change, working along side others with differnt visions of change, but united in defense of a democratic constitution and, hopefully, a republic.
I am not a publicist for the Maoist movement either here in the West or in Nepal. But I try to understand and respect their decade long and bloody struggle aginst the forces of the status quo and of repression. Too many have died. That must come to an end. But iof the King comes in through the back door, if their is deception of the people and betrayal of their aspirations, their will be bloodshed agin without doubt, in Nepal as in so many other unfortunate countries struggling with backwardness and modernity simukltaneously under undemocratic conditions.
Let us hope that the Maoists can be convinced that a multi-party democracy is the best path for Nepal and do not try to impose a one-party state. But this will take persuasion and not force. It will take concessions and guarantees and reforms. The processin which this is achieved, if it is achieved, will leave Nepal a much better place for all, andlay the basis for a new national unity under the banner of which Nepal will take its place in the ranks of democratizing developoing countries not afraid of to go against the othodoxies of free market economics as the alleged panacea for all ills, policies which have led to such tragedies in the post-Cold War world torn by ethnic rivaliries and economic conflicts where the rich get richer and the majority lose what little they had under the old regimes..
These are to be sure only the observations of an interested if committed observer from afar. But I intend to return soon to Nepal and see for myself the fruits of the revolution in the countryside and the streets which has become , so unexpectedly but deservedly, the focus of world attention.
At least I am relieved for now. Because the cabinet could take oath and had a first meeting. Now other portfolios are not that important as they were distributed. So the parties should not fight about it. Ministry of Communications can be important at this juncture. But UML and NCs should not now fight for the petty things before a vast number of works before them. I am really surprised why Makune did not come forward to take the national responsibility at this hour of crisis.He is at the back bench. Is he timid guy or he is a coward ?
Makune has always been like that. It’s in keeping with his character-that of a bitchy coward.
Did you guys read the news of Kantipur getting satellite permisson? And how previous govt didn’t gave them the permission to go to satellite. They were very angry for that decision i guess so they were anti Monarchy. Now they can manipulate present govt by giving bribe i guess.
Is UWB affiliated to Maoists or sth?
Not like i care but im just guessing, i wish all these details, policies of websites, etc were made clear by UWB.
This is becoming an online political arena and i wish Wagle and team worked to make this more educational, and of course be UNBIASED(if u truly want to lead online journalism)
While u guys write articles for transparencey, i feel UWB is falling behind on the same.
I think we need to give these politicians some time to iron out. We all know what they are … they have shown us their true colors enough. While it is important to upkeep the pressure so that they dont screw around in this critical stage, let us walk the thin line of giving them enough breathing room.
Taking oath by the ministers in NPC Hall was the right thing to do. It has made a history in a significact way. But, I am still disappointed that the PM Koirala didn’t do what a lot of people, including K M Dixit had suggested that he take a oath of office by the CJ. May be, there were some constitutionality issues by which he was compelled to do what he did and since I am not much of an expert in Nepalese constitution which was amended in 1990, I cann’t say it for sure. May be, someone else might be able to elaborate on this better.
The democracy works well only when there is mutual respect for one another. And, the most
important thing is that the governing majority
must always do what it can to protect the rights of the opposition minority. There must be ways to check and balance the power at all times.
Each branches of power must have a way to be
checked and corrected when such course is needed to safeguard the integrity of that particular branch of power.
Hope that’s what it’s on the aggenda of this new found freedom to take this wonderful land of almost paradise into a great place that it can be and deserves.
Is this the “NEW GOVERNMENT”, or the same-old-corrupt-miss-leaders ?
Maybe this is a SENIOR CITIZENS MEETING ?
An Alzheimers Conference maybe?
WHERE ARE THE YOUTH WHO LEAD & SUSTAIN THE PEOPLE’S REVOLUTION ?
Guess where the other half of the productive youth is? Yea, that’s right- US! They are all striving for their “personal goals”. There you go, there’s all your country’s worth down in another corner of the globe. way to me, most of us!
= way to be, most of us!
The evolution, is now Revolution & most of it is being fought in Nepal…. THIS IS NOT OVER !
