Friends,

Coming Friday's Pro-democracy Rally in NY is, in every sense, Diaspora's equivalent of "Citizen's Movement for Democracy and Peace" in Nepal.

What is "Citizen's Movement for Democracy and Peace" ?

It is people's saying, "Enough is enough".

It's saying, "Enough with King's insuppressible greed for power, enough with political parties' impotency, enough with Maoists' abuse of legitimate political cause to promote anachronistic ideology and violence, and enough with the freaking eternal quagmire they are in."

The most important of all, perhaps, it is also saying, "Enough with our own cynicism, apathy and passiveness".

Let's take initiative on our own to let ourselves, political powers and the whole world know what we want and how we want, once for all. Let's speak up. That's what "Citizen's movement for democracy and peace" is all about.

And damn. It's working. It's already showing its affects everywhere.

Common people, through their participation and display to the leaders, poets and artists kind of love and respect never seen before, and the movement, through it's determination to spread it throughout the country no matter what, has already established itself as an ad hoc political leadership until political parties reform enough to reclaim people's trust and thereby popular political leadership to the movement for Loktantra.

Let's show up at Dag Hammarskjold Plaza, NY on this Friday to let ourselves and the whole world know our longing for democracy and peace and to make a small but glorious history of how we took time to show our respect and solidarity to activists, professionals, poets, artists and common people rising Nepal ko basti basti baata, gaaun gaaun baata.

See you all who are close enough to make it to Dag Hammarskjold Plaza, NYC, 12:00 noon, Friday 16th September 2005.

Hand of a poet, who probably made a world history by making people loving to buy tickets to listen to his revolutionary poems in Kathmandu !

लु बल्ल पो आएछ रिपोरट त। कति त कुरिएन नि कच्चा रिपोर्ट सुन्नलाई। पत्रिकामा त हेरियो अलिअलि।
Sounds great! Specially "Punte & his crown!", the main attraction!
तर यो मुरलि(?) राज शर्मालाई किन चिफ गेस्ट बनाऽ नि। ऊ भन्दा उपयुक्त व्यक्ति कोही नभेट्या हो कि? (पुन्टे थिए, नेपे थिए? रे क्या!)
यसमा नेपेजीको समर्थन नै रह्यो? सहज र वास्तविक लाग्छ कि गल्तिले Mistake भा हो? जिज्ञासा मात्र नि।

Dada,

That puts lotta doubt on everybody. I mean about Murari and the rally.

Peace

The rally, in my view, was about showing courage to take on the King. Anil-jee by showing no fear, inhibition and second thought about it did indeed stole the thunder. Being myself aware of opposing family pressure, potential risks and how 'safe' courage is also flaring good around, I have only come to respect and trust him more.

I think at the root of Nepal's political crisis is people's cowardice to take on the powerful.

All these years, we did nothing except complaining in a safe way and letting the powerfuls- the corrupt leaders, fanatic royals and Maoists to do what they wanted to do.

It is about to change. And I am proud to see Anil-jee becoming a part of that change.

The solution to Nepal's crisis is in no single individual's hand. Everybody has been tested by our history. Now, only party left is the people. People's power that takes courageous decisions is the only savior of our future.

सानो घाउको डरले बस्दा बस्दा यति ठूला ठूला घाउहरु लगाईसकेका छौं, हाम्रो सानो घाउको डरमा हामी हास्यास्पद देखिईरहेका छौं ।

निडरता- यो नै हाम्रो मुक्तिदाता र पथप्रदर्शक हो हाम्रो ईतिहासको यो मोडमा ।

हजारौं-लाखौं अनिलहरु, हामीलाई अर्जेन्ट्ली चाहिएको कुरा यहि हो ।

Dada,

Nobody was a chief guest at the rally. Everybody was. Everybody was equal. Murari-jee was as chief as anybody else.

Do you have any reference with you that shows Murari-jee was a chief guest ? छ भने देखाम, होईन भने मुरारीजीलाई नदिईएको पगरी जबर्जस्ती नगुँथाम् न यार ।

अनि यो प्रवासीहरुको ऐक्यावद्धता 'नागरिक आन्दोलन' हो । यसमा कोहि पनि नेता छैनन् । जहाँसम्म सम्मानको कुरा छ, त्यो दिईने कुरा होईन, कमाईने कुरा हो । कमाएको कुरामा ईर्श्या देखाउनु हुँदैन क्या ?

मुरारीजीले मकरतन्त्रको विरोधमा उत्रेर केहि सम्मान कमाउनु भएको छ हाम्रो । तर स्पष्ट गणतन्त्रवादी भएर धेरै सम्मान कमाउन भने अझै बाँकी छ । वहाँको भाषणमा हाम्रा राजनैतिक नेताहरुको जस्तै लटर-पटर कुराहरु छन् । त्यो लटर-पटरका लागि वहासंगको पेशागत सिमाना कारक भएको अडकल काढ्छु म । अडकल मात्तै हो है मेरो, वास्तविकता त वहाँ नै जान्नुहुन्छ ।

जे भए पनि, न्यूयोर्क -यालीले स्पष्ट गणतन्त्रको धार समातेको देखिएको हुनाले यसले सबैलाई लटर-पटरवादबाट मुक्त हुन प्रेरणा दिनेछ भन्ने कुरामा ढुक्क छु म ।

NEpe Nepe Nepe, did I tell you that you are really funny. Showing courage. MAN r u on crack???

Here in US. Showing courage. U r just great.

ANd man about cowardiness, people are not dumb to followan opportunist, selfcentred pigs.

Middle finger to Nepali delegation

Nepe is that you who is showing middle finger????

From now on, each citizen is his own king. Any problem ?

DR,
No, I am beyond the screen. I am the photographer.

May be that's Nepe's son or his aide-de-camp Anti-Monarqi!

Nepe just took a 10-minute break and darted towards Muldoon's on Third Avenue for a Guinness! Protest garda karaunu parcha, ghati sukcha, thirkha laagcha, ani Chiso Beer tankaunu parcha, ki kaso!!

-यालीले अर्थोक कुरा गरे नगरे पनि, मकरतन्त्रेहरुलाई चाहिं पुङ न पुच्छरको कुरा गर्नु पर्ने दुर्दशामा पु-याईदिएको भने छ ।

well i dun really belong in this thread but just need to get smthing off me chest so ppl dun mind hai :oD


highfly bro nothing against u...
tara just for the sake of lettn out..hehe..well just wanted to say me opinion(im not into debates hai so dun waste ur time and try re kya ;oP)

"Epe Nepe Nepe, did I tell you that you are really funny. Showing courage. MAN r u on crack???Here in US. Showing courage. U r just great. ANd man about cowardiness, people are not dumb to followan opportunist, selfcentred pigs. "

well just wanted to say, well i know u all got some thing going on with u all here...but disregarding that...well dunno if u thot about it...but it does seem like the guys here who are talkn about it..does plan to go back to Nepal one time or another when time is right and continue wat they started...so giving them the benefit of the doubt(not wrong in giving benefit of the doubt is it?) well i do agree that it does take Courage to do those things...esp wat Poonte bro did :oD, i mean duh!!..

we know what happens in Nepal, a life is just worth some few thousand ruppees(not just in in nepal ;oP)well dunno how many thousands of ppl have gone missing and their family still askin the authority about them. Well dun ask me to prove such things, go figure out urself ;oP. So any person doing all these, their fotos are being shown, their names and other infos so in some ways theres a lot of risk involved esp since they are going against the most powerful person in Nepal. So doesnt that take courage?i dun think i could have done what these ppl have done(not that i be interested, politics is not me cup of tea :oD)..at least they are doing wat they can in US when they are there..

Like u said, u are keepin it real but just cos u r keepin it real, wats real to u might not mean the same to another, well im just glad at least they are doing smthings tho it doesnt mean anything to most other ppl. but tryn does mean a lot (to me ;o)...so nice to see ppl tryn :oD )...and well politics as we know is a lot of talk and sweet words(and from nepals history, do we still have confidence in the politicians?) but ironically smtimes all we can do is GIVE WORDS!yap bloody ironies...wat to do?we are humans in the end..we cant do everything can we?

and of cos its always better to be skeptic(make us not expect too much and save us from being hurt when our expectation aint reached.When does an expectation get reached anyways?hehe)and its nice to see skeptics around cos that means, our ppl have learnt a bit from the past(hopefully we have!!cos smtimes i think we have learnt nothing!!everything repeating again wahahahah ) it will just take sweet words this time.

but smtimes... well not that im expecting too much from the ppl who post here...(i barely do read, esp since me nepali sucks!!well i did try a bit guess due to incapability, lets not blame the time ;oP hehe..guess i couldnt understand..so i gave up...for now ;oP...hopefully i get better in me nepali) smtimes seeing pics like this...well it does in some ways give me hope that there is hope for our country. well it might be a clown show to most and maybe the fact is.. it is(lets go to extreme negative hehe) but well it sure does make me feel positive about our country..the future...so u know alikiti got agitated when u said smthing about 'courage' hehe..so lettn it out :oD.

its not u...but u do know hoina...when a fire is just starting..just cos its takin so long to lite up...we get frustrated and the 'dampeners' loses their patience and starts takin off the stick of woods and shrubs and tries to rearrange it and try to lite it up again, in the end that just stops the fire from starting and burning. Esp if the woods are a bit damp of cos its takes a while to burn. yap we do get frustrated when someone says dun touch it...it will burn soon...it wil burn soon...we get wakka dikka hearing the same old 'empty' words...esp in the cold night when we are freezing, esp when we think the person telln us to wait for it...seems to not be freezing like us.

so get me drift?cos i dunno wat im typing about wahahaha....i mean well wat we cant do, well we cant expect others to do it can we?if they are doing smthing let them do it...a bit of benefit of the doubt pls ;o)...esp if wat they are doing aint doing anything to u physically hehe...mentally?well if ur mentally sick then its a diff thing ;oP hehe...who knows wat might happen ;o)...so just like ur keepin it real...let them keep it real for them and well in time u will know if ur doubts about them were right or wrong...cos now wat can we do but wait and see wat our king will do?he said give him 3 yrs...not like its up to us to give him that time(or is it?are we that united?) but all we can do is wait and see....

and just cos u have doubts over some person here ...well just hoping u wont let that doubt dampen the spirit of another that has hope and doing smthing to. cos well appreciation does really help one work harder :oD...and of cos i do appreciate u tryn to make sure ppl here are not just sprouting empty words hehe...we heard...seen and experienced enuf havent we?hehe well time will tell if we will hear more :oS....

till then....JAI NEPAL!!:oD...i might be useless but nepali ta still hu hai!!u cant deny me re kya!!;oP hehe

have a good day and JAI NEPAL!!:oD

(ps poonte bro whos idea was that about the 'king hat' etc wahahaha...it cracked me up!!in a nice way....wish i could be there to see it..but photos speaks a thousand word they say..and the placard was even wahahahaha....im speechless :O:Ohehe*gone*)

Nepe,

I made my point clear. If you read what I wrote. I do not think we will gain peace unless all the parties in the conflict negotitate. You chicken out from the previous discussion.

Its really hard for you to digest that am I presenting the facts in the brute and crude manner. I think I should act like a heard of sheep and be not critical to please you. WHich point I mentioned did not please you? Show the links. I will try to rationale each and every stance.

anonomous,

When are they going back?? THats the main point. R they waitng for Mao to come to power and join the maoists' govt???

Everytime these rallys are organozed some opportunist pig has taken advantage. Last time it was Sujata Koirala, now Murari Raj Sharma.

Peace

Nepe,

Now still with all the crap, you are trying to make me look like royalist. You are too good at that. THats the thing it really pisses me off. Poonte mainatins decency but you. I do not know what to say. Middle finger to king, I do not care less.

THe corrupt polticians, I do not give a damn. Maosits, I really scared of them coming into power beacause of iditiots like you.

There is not gonna be peace until three parties in the conflict neogtitate and comprimise.

peace

I have been asking people for long time why do we need monarchy system? No one has answer me so far???people say king brings so called peace but peace on what cost making everyone as his slave??.peace in what cost we living like animals and thinking we are not better then other human being??..peace in what cost while he appoints known looters and killer and we can?t say anything about him??
If peace is install with fear then what is difference between Mao and monarchy both keep peace with fear,,,,,,,,,
I don?t want to list monarchy laundry list cause I believe monarchy system defective and degrade us but I have to ask to those who are fast to point the figure to elected people who take bribe and miss management people fund???where is your criticism when king goes and buys 5 cars with in 2 years using 220 millions rupees?.where is your outrage when king increases his budget more then 300% after assuming power ???.
The reason I dun talk about politicians that much because if we want we have power to vote out them out and we can say anything and ask anything but where is that right to us with monarch..
I have nothing to say if you believe king family is better then all other Nepali families?.but when I and other those who believe we and king family are the same as other then why should one family should have right over our life and country?.
If you believe Nepal belongs you and me then why shouldn?t you and I have right to choose head of state?..When we get that choice you have your right to vote the king as president if you feel he is the best man to lead us and I have my choice to vote whoever I want to vote???
