Incompetent PM
Many congratulations to the Nepal-led government for breaking the record of the longest serving Communist government in the country ("Base year,", May 26, Page 6). But that is no indication of his competence, Ideally, he should be helping the political parties find common ground on the contentious issues instead of using all tricks in the book to hold on to his chair.

"I am longing for nothing."
I am longing for nothing.I know I am not going tobecome, what they want me to become.As I have lived fully today,
I am ready to quit if deathcomes my way.
I don't care if you acceptme as I am. and from where I come fromor not.
I do not care since I have never caredand these humanly selfishness of longing for somethinghas caused only problems.
There are awards, rewards and all these recognitionsare foolish accomplishments.
How can someone judge?
We were all created equalby nature, we...

My Funeral by Paulo Coelho
An Excerpt from "Like The Flowing River" from Harper Collins Publishers
The journalist from The Mail on Sunday appears at my hotel in London and asks one simple question: "If you were to die today, what kind of funeral would you like?"
The truth is that the idea of death has been with me everyday since 1986, when I walked the Road to Santiago. Up until then, I had always been terrified at the thought that, one day, everything would end; but on one of the stages of that pilgrimage, I perform...

You Know You've Been In Finland Too Long, When...
You meticulously manage your plastic bag collection.
You don't think twice about putting wet dishes in the cupboard to dry.
Silence is fun.
Your coffee consumption exceeds 8 cups a day.
You pass a grocery store and think: "Wow, it's open!"
Your native language has seriously deteriorated. Now you "eat medicine", "open the television", and "close the lights off".
You associate pea soup with Thursday.
Your notion of street life is reduced to hanging out in front of the railway station on ...

Before and After

Before and After
------------------------------------------
A cycle of life
travels along the time
It makes a journey
with a beginning of sun rise
It travels along the coast of universe
meeting, talking, writing, speaking
thinking, creating, singing and
and
many "ing" suffixes in words...
After being for a while
it wants to take rest
and goes back
goes back to the time

"Remember My Name"
"Remember my name"
I have no desire,
I have no pain.
The love which once had,
is lost in vain.
I have no money,
I have no fame.
The world which once I loved,
remains unclear, unknown and selfish.
Thou had to step-in
art rejuvenates this poor heart.
What had I given?
Mother Nature lets me sustain.
What would I do with desire?
Desire hardly reaches to destination.
Thee resurrected in love,
This world had once blamed.
If I would someday rise,
rise and rise
rise high above ...

Needs and Desire
-Every individual is in need for something. Need of love, sex, money, house, friends, family and relationships. When need exceeds it becomes desire.
-When there is desire for something that desire leads to action.
-When the act is not righteous, it might then lead to misery.
-But all of our misery will come to an end, when we are dead.
-Therefore, there is no need without deed. And there is no deed without need.
God bless you !

Free us from sufferings
This is with reference to the article by Arun Gupto "Nepali version of catharsis" (May 12). I wish our 'political gods' would read it.
As the writer points out, the rising poverty, unstable government, deteriorating security situation and many more such acts of violence can easily put the nation in jeopardy.
Looking from a much broader perspective, eavery nation is suffering. Take Europe for instance. Currently, Greece and Portugal are facing severe economic problems. Even the US is sufferi...
