Does anyone want to go to nepal and live a life with family right now? is that a possible thing to do, i am just wondering if any one of u has any good option and opinion about goin back to the country, can we do sth in nepal to help the country as well as our self survival?
I have lots of friends who are sick of living abroad and think life would be better in nepal i dont think so, wat about you all?

well, so many of nepali people are living in nepal including our own parents.  so, yes it is possible to live in Nepal.  and there are few people who get education in foreign land and go back to nepal.  many dont, because we are afraid of facing reality and try to excuse ourself for not going to nepal.  we used to say, we had maoist problem, then we started saying its even worse as gyanendra took over and situation has even gone worse, then came madhesi problem and now power shortage and other problems.  so, basically we are saying, we will only go if we get everyhting including government system like in usa/canada/aus....  are we really so naive?  we all know it will not gonna happen at least in 100 years or so... ..So, if someone really wants to return, he/she will return.  if someone stays here for long enough and also have kids here, then he/she will anohter escuse, well now i have my kids and i need to give them good education, so i can not go. this will never end my friend.  make decision about going back to nepal or staying in foreign land as soon as you can and move your career head... good luck...

Well said AAAA,
We always want to live there where everythg is perfect, we don;t want to go there and make it perfect. We believe why don;t the people back home make it a perfect country and create an environment for us to return. Open more jobs, better apartments, electricity, internet, communication, better life style, peace, etc.. We always make an excuse when it comes about returning back to Nepal. There was, is and will b one or other problem in Nepal so we always have a good excuse.
Are we so called educated ones not responsible in this issue.  I once read that when we are born to a particular place then we have to fulfill the responsibility towards the place, people and society.

Hello aafna bandhu's,

Hats off to all of those who atleast think or talk or write to return to Nepal now or near in the future. We, at least most of us nepalese,  always want  to go back home to do  either some things very creative, or socially stay very active or spend the money we've made overseas and relax for rest for our lives. Unfortunely obstacles come to block our ways. GREED AND FEAR. We all sold our patroitism, our emotions and social lives in the name of MATERiALISM. I often tell people that A man who stands for nothing will fall for anything. Unlike, those real nepalese we've read in our history classess or have seen few years ago, we nepalese, nowadys compromise our lives with materials and find ways to live with excuses. Oh boy I have my kids born here, my health is not good to go to nepal, maoists, TERAI insecurities, water supplies, pollution, traffic problems. BS. How many nepalese have died in US recently just because of homicide? Is there any nepali making excuse to come to US because of that reason? NADA. NOP. ZERO........

The way we think, the way we act , the way we treat, the way we behave, it is sold or loat.our nationality, from Nepal to all over, has been starred by all hypocrats, no otherthan all of us. That is why I tell people please don't buy your car before you have road to drive, please don't make your water tank before u dig your well. A man never, atleast not me, not disrespect to anybody, can't live without my idendity which is I am a nepali.

We could be the difference maker to create the new society. Lets give up very few in the hope of gaining a lot. Let's sacrifice from few to make lots happy.

The question, who am I? I am one among all of us who's been lived, studied and doing business way away from my heart, my country; and finally convinced myself that there is no boundry for greed. Helping others gives you bigger smile and bliss that you ever can imagine.

I 'll be back soon.

 

 

 

SALALA, dont come back after a month mate ..you know how easy it is to say sth and give some advice but its definitely hard get on it mate...I have just come back after spending 2 weeks and its living hell out there mate..what you think you can do in a country thats educationally, financially, politically and even culturally dead? My hopes and dreams, plans and schemes died within a second I got out of airport mate...

Dear georgian satellite,

You're one hundred % right. But we all have to think once that we didn't come from heaven or EUTOPIA to blame Nepal's situation all the time when we're not there.  

But at least start to make  a thought towards our country once in a while definetely makes  a difference. MAHABIR PUN of course would have a very laxuarious life if hadbeen setteled in US instead of going to the remote and think and act for somebody. I guarantee that he has way higher satisfaction living in very undeveloped villages than us spending royal lives.

 

Joy and Bliss......

 

i'll definately go but not now. three year from now i'll be there. and i hope by that tiime i don't have to see a terrorist as my prime minister.

 

I respect and welcome the points made above by AAAA & SALALA. You are quite
correct about struggle. You have to struggle no matter where you end up
being. My parents (who did not finish high school or inherit any
property) took care of my grand parents until the end and  gave me
every opportunity that could be bought with financial or social
resources. I am proud of that. Very proud indeed. I just want to be
morally responsible and choose my way of life. So my fellow countryman
I will return too. Soon.
In no way I am suggesting that returning
home or to motherland to our families is a superior decision. It is
just that I find it suitable to my thinking. I will be happier that
way. I know those who are away from Nepal love the motherland just as
much as we do. They will do what they can to help us: good advices,
moral and social help, political and financial help/investment. I know
they will. The gentleperson like Georgian Satellite falls in this category.

I have no authority to tell what is right. People have to decide what is right for themselves.

500
years ago this country (USA) was land of wilderness. Today it is what it is
or what you think it is. People made it what it is. You and I are
people. I want to believe that we are no less human than those on this
land from whom I have benefited much. At least I can try to make my
motherland a better place. As Michael Jordan once said, 'I MAY not make
a shot if I try, but if I don't try I know I WILL NOT make the shot'. A
wise Canadian woman once said, 'I don't move just because things got
interesting somewhere. I want to know how things got interesting there.
May be I can try it here. But you please go.'

May the force be with you.

Very nice points thanx for your opinion.

Another, thing rollin in my mind, wat abt all the nepali ppl who havent been able to study and are out of status now, they cant even expect for a nice job or nice life in usa, so would they like to go back? Going back without, nth, no money and no degree scares and dissapoints everyone and no one likes to keep on working for more that 10hrs a day for their whole life in fast foods or gas stations.

Sabaiko khoi ramro bhayo usa ayera bhanney ki, damadol bhayo desh lai pani kehi bhayena manche le pani kehi payena bhanda theek ho ta. May be life nai yestai hola dukha garnai parcha one way or other but no one seems to be satisfied this way.

Three most important things for me to return

1. Peace as it was in 2040.

2. Electricity.

3. Water.

If we have these 3 things in Nepal I will be among the first to return.

and of course affordable high speed internet helps.

Dear S_R,

These are reasons why the educated class thinks twice or may be hundred times before deciding to return to Nepal. How many of them are prepared to work shoulder to shoulder to change Nepal? No, they want to experience the good life first for themselves. Then when they are old and grey and cannot work, then they will return to the beloved country. Let others sort out all the setbacks first. When the coast is clear, then they will return.

I have been watching Sajha threads since the turn of the millenium (GBNC times, boy am I an old fart) and have never see so many 'back to the motherland' sentiments as I have these past couple of weeks. Maybe I am just brainwashed from living here too long, or maybe this is a direct product of being a cynic more often than not--BUT it seems to me that we all came here with high expectations and the greed of attaining the "american dream" (or is it the "obama dream' now hehe). Just ask those waiting outside the US embassy in the wee hours of the morning hoping to punch their tickets to the promised land.

Somewhere lost in translation is this: when you leave your birthplace to chase a dream, you are also accepting a life away from all things you consider near and dear to you. If that is something not worth giving up, then DO NOT chase a dream that you cannot shape into reality.  If you are already here its because you made--knowingly or unknowingly is a moot argument here-- a pact with yourself to make and live with those sacrifices. Turning back in the middle of the road is a very expensive and failed proposition. I salute those who are still trying to make that dream come true regardless of how difficult the path may have become, because at the end of the day if you make it, so will all the things you care about--Including Nepal.

Just my two (or fifty) cents.

WISHFUL THINKING---- wouldnt it be nice if we could all be succesful here, make a strong NRN community and prop up the nation  with our work ethic,education, and financial capacity? Then I could retire in 15-20 years, and go back to build some more on the foundations laid over that time. Now that is something to shoot for.
