A friend of mine returned from Malaysia last week. She was about to go India right after a week. She wanted to hangout with me. So we went to places, in the evening. Thamel, New Road, Kingsway and other places. In 3 short meetings, she tried to make me realize that I am living in hell. And that we don’t know how to live and that we’re so backward and many other things. She did not directly that that of course but she tried. She is my friend, so I hate to say that I hate the people who act like they belong to some other country just because they’ve spent some time there and whine about how bad the country is how bad is it going to be. She’d been in Lankawi for barely one year and when she returned Nepal, she was saying “things are not like this in ‘her’ place”. As if that is where she belongs.
She is not the only one actually. I have many friends living in USA, Australia and other country. Everytime they come down here, they not only whine about the situation here but curse us for our bad waste management sytem, for the traffic problem, for lack of water and for the political system. They curse us for giving them hard time during their a month long visit.
“Poor Nepalese are never going to learn these things.”.
That is the exact line she said.
I wanted to say that why don’t you brilliant minds just stay in Nepal and manage the waste properly, make roads and get into politics and make it better? Otherwise why don’t you just forget about us? Just stay where you are and serve your ‘place’. Isn’t it your duty to make it better if you call yourself Nepalese citizen? You could at least just let it be if you can’t do anything. But I am too nice to say that to a girl in her face :)

And about my ex-girlfriend. Her result published yesterday. She called me to ask if I could help her to see the result. I was in theater so I didn’t answer. Then when movie finished and I came out of theater I called her to ask whats the matter, she said her result is published but she doesn’t want my help. She said her friends will help her. And also said that It doesn’t really matter to me whether she passes or not. And out of nowhere she made fun of my bad habits and said that I’ll loose everything in my life someday. That didn’t hurt me. That rather made me wonder had I really been with the right girl for last 3 years and had I really known her? I still have the line “I am in love with the probably the sweetest girl” in my blog’s header.
