Like I haven't had enough of embarrassments in my life already! I am posting this to reaffirm my stupidity. Thought why not enjoy my state of imprudence while it lasts. At times there's simply no fun in being sane or wise. Therefore, to truly enjoy life you just have to let your innocence rule your world and yes embarrass yourself over and over again!. So that years from now I could have a laugh at this whole thing and puzzle myself all over again! and keep wondering why!!??$^$^

Today, much to your surprise, you will feel a very strong magnetic pull towards a person you've never met before. There is a reason that they interest you, and you've got to figure it out! So keep your eye on them, and while you can't exactly follow them around, just keep looking until you figure it out. There is something about them that you need in your life. They could be your inspiration, and you never even have to have a conversation with them.

Height of Insanity
Each CA member receives approximately RS 40,000 as monthly stipend.(According to a source altogether it comes to around Rs 60,000 per month when you add the miscellaneous figures. It's been more than six months, there hasn't been even an inch of development interms of the constitution-writing process. Not surprisingly, CA members themselves don't hesitate to accept the failure.
The Terai problem is aggravating. It's turning into a crisis while Kathmandu very conveniently manages to turn a deaf ear towards the Madhesis. The Maoist are on the verge of ideological separation. The interim government exists only for the heck of running the state hence anarchy still defines the law of our land. And amidst all this, trapped are the common people.
Hope lost. Dreams sabotaged. Inspiration never existed!
India 'gifted' a fleet of buses to ease the transportation need for the CA members. and now they have refused to use the service because the bus contains the imprint 'Gifted from the Government of India' painted on its surface. The members believe - using such provisions would mean giving a way to the Indians intervention in the national matters. However, according to the Nepali Times article (Issue 21 NOV 2008 - 27 NOV 2008) they are ready to compromise if the officials erase the prominently displayed Indian flag from the bus. Another point to be noticed:
'employees at the secretariat claim that the inability of the government to provide facilities led them to ask India for help.'
As if Rs 40,000 a month (per member) was not enough that they were forced to take this step.
I am convinced. Nepal will never change. Unless the Nepalese give it a shot. And clearly those who are on the frontline- don't give a shit! Hence, why would anybody in the world care. Do I?- No. Do you? I don't think so.

Its your right to ignore friend-request in the facebook
I don't think its just 'ok' to ignore friend-request in the facebook. Its your right to ignore people if you don't want them around. And I sure have no qualms about it. Two of my ex-boyfriends tried adding me multiple times. and I was like- are you kidding me!. Seriously..if you still need to add your ex-girlfriend as one of your friends. You need to get a life. A good one for sure. Especially if she was the one who dumped you!
For those of you who have more than enough time to surf around here's soemthing to read about facebook friends:

My non-typical Wednesday morning
Its really ironic how my Wednesday morning turned out. Its been about more than a few weeks. I've been feeling like God has been sending me signs.
Just yesterday I called up my parents to find out how they were doing. And I was telling my father how much I hated doing MBA. On the contrary though- he thought it was a better choice for me. I remember long time ago pitching this idea to my father about going to certain places within Nepal for certain reasons. Then he said: it wasn't safe because of the Maoist conflict. Eight years from then - they have joined the government. And it is still not safe. I'm sure he would give me the same crap if I told him about my real intentions. As I was taking shower yesterday - it was once again all coming back to me.
Does it mean I am safe because I am here in America. I could die all of a sudden without getting a chance to say a word to my parents. They would probably regret it for the rest of their lives for suggesting me to keep staying in the US as long as I could.
Yeah so thats what I was thinking yesterday. And what do you know- this morning I got into a major car accident. It was just another wednesday. It was just another day- The traffic light turned green and there I was crossing the intersection. and ..just a split second before I really got 'hit' I saw the car coming towards my side (driver's side). And baam!!...it happened. That car hit my car....but I still wasn't aware of the happening...or may be I just blacked out - now that I look back- all that I could see was my car- spinning...windshield cracking-......and there I was...still holding on to the steering wheel...and unaware...finding it reallly really hard to comprehend. That I was infact a victim in an accident. Then I barely remember what happened. I pulled over to the side. Tried opening the door but couldn't - realized it was really badly crushed. Then called my colleague at the office- I was weeping (haha)- and I am so thankful to those people who stayed to be a witness. I wasnt just witnessing an accident. I was a part of the accident. and it was and still is so diffcult to comprehend. I could have really died today. The car seriously got hit bad. The last time I saw my car- the rear end was just falling apart. Driver's side crushed into pieces. Don't know how I got out of there alive. So when my friends came in - By that time - I thought I was getting senses back. Also found it funny for a while. Now four hours later...I'm gradually realizing that what a close call it was. I could have seriously died. And I can't seem to stop the tears.I guess, life does give you a whole new opportunity to live it up again.
So Thank you god for the second chance.
Thank You my people for being there for me.
P.S: I think I just found a good reason to emotionally blackmail my parents. But above all - found a reason why God gave me another chance.
and no..it wasn't my fault- I was following the traffic rules :)

I can never get enough of this!
Lincoln's letter to his son's teacher.
He will have to learn, I know,
that all men are not just,
all men are not true.
But teach him also that for every scoundrel there is a hero.
That for every selfish politician, there is a dedicated leader.
Teach him that for every enemy there is a friend.
Steer him away from envy, if you can.
Teach him the secret of quiet laughter.
Let him learn early that the bullies are the easiest to lick.
Teach him, if you can, the wonder of books.
But also give him quiet time to ponder the eternal mystery of birds in the sky, bees in the sun, and the flowers on a green hillside.
In the school teach him it is far honorable to fail than to cheat.
Teach him to have faith in his own ideas even if everyone tells him they are wrong.
Teach him to be gentle with gentle people and tough with the tough.
Try to give my son the strength not to follow the crowd when everyone is getting on the band wagon.
Teach him to listen to all men.
But teach him also to filter all he hears on a screen of truth and take only the good that comes through.
Teach him if you can, how to laugh when he is sad.
Teach him there is no shame in tears.
Teach him to scoff at cynics and to beware of too much sweetness.
Teach him to sell his brawn and brain to the highest bidders but never to put a price-tag on his heart and soul.
Teach him to close his ears to a howling mob and to stand and fight if he thinks he’s right.
Treat him gently, but do not cuddle him because only the test of fire makes fine steel.
Let him have the courage to be impatient.
Let him have the patience to be brave.
Teach him always to have sublime faith in himself because then he will have sublime faith in mankind.
This is a big order, but see what you can do.
He is such a fine fellow, my son !

The no.1 takeaway message from 2008 American political campaign
So the election came and went. Media all over the world treated it nothing less than a world celebration. Talk shows got whole new reasons to mock the candidates. Subsequently, the humor also managed to tickle the Americans' funny bones.
At the end Obama won. And now what. Thats a big question. I think we are all too familiar with Obama's idea of 'change' which is more limited to just an image of change in a way. He in fact doesn't promise to divert away from the current administration but what he does plan to do is: make things right. But whatever is the case I don't really care. However, fortnately or unfortnately, it does effect the way I think, the way I live..man...you can't get away from their influences!
For the world- it could mean living under an illusion that he would improve the world economy or he would pay more attention to the degrading envrionmental problems...and yaadi yaadi yaadaas...But whatever it could mean for the world, there are certain things about 2008 American election campaign that shall remain embedded in my brain for quite sometime. Listed below are Top 10 points/quotes/just about anything associated one way or the other with this election - that me likes...or also find funny, a bit questionable, a bit stupid and in every way 100% entertaining.
10) 'The chickens are coming home to roost' - Rev. Jeremiah Wright (Obama's Pastor)
9) Joe the plumber
8) Alaska - reappearing in the world map
7) Michelle Obama and her style statement
6) McCain the crybaby
5) Obama campaign expenditure $200 million, McCain campaign expenditure-$100 million
4) 'I can see Russia from my house!' - Tina Fey gettng creative courtesy Palin
3) Palintology
2) Palin's Russian neighbors.
1) ....and....Ladies and gentlemen the very best part of 2008 American election: (drumroll)
Witnessing the hottest of the Hot! Obama Girl (courtesy:barelypolitical.com)

The rest may have been crap but the lesson I learnt from the point no.1) We should do something similar in Nepali politics ;)
