I
am one of the thousands of ignorant youths of Nepal. Right now I am more
concerned about the ways I can be celebrating the New Year. The last time I
thought about my country was when the elections were running and I got the
chance to vote for the first time. Oh wait! no, it was the last time when I
thought anything good about my country. I had hopes that my vote will matter
and I would be giving my part of contribution towards the development of Nepal.
Soon after that I had jotted down the bad points about it so that I could convince my parents, family and friends on Nepal Is not a secure place, and that I should be allowed to go abroad for my further studies. I don’t know how I failed on that and got STUCK here for few more years.
So let’s restart my intro: I am a Nepali youth; sometimes I volunteer in some NGO because they pay me, at least with certificates; other days, I ignore the text messages sent by Nepal Telecom asking me to give a hand for Bagmati Cleaning Campaign.
I post pictures saying animal cruelty is bad and pretending to be against it, at least in these social media platforms I am against animal cruelty. The real life case: yesterday I asked my maid to throw a mug of cold water on the kittens that were disturbing my sleep by making too much noise.
Sometimes I think I am a good person. I try my best not to use plastic bags. I leave my seat for some elderly people in a public vehicle, I pick up wrappers off the road and put them in a garbage can.
On other days, all I do is talk loud, talk big and just keep on talking... These days at night I think I fear that I have become a "Hypocrite"...
Sometimes I think it is better to be absolutely ignorant than to know something and act very less but talk too much. So let me go in a new path now, I want to do something, my new year plan is to make a difference, I won’t say that I will act immediately on it, I’ll wait for the right time when it strikes me. When I feel triggered. But more than anything, till then I will think more and definitely talk less!!
