Freedom At Midnight

Freedom At Midnight
It was crowded night at 23 April 2006, People were furious and frustrated with king and his autocratic Government. It was right 11 pm on 23 April 2006, everybody tuned to the media channels and televisions. King was giving his speech for the people of Nepal. He accepted the people as the supreme power and finally agreed to restore the parliament. King was breaking his own government. People left house and went down to streets for demonstration. It was to share the joy of victory over the autocracy. Nepalese people have flowed the flood of blood many times in the history. In the war against English, against Tibet/Chinese, against other states and lots of times. But for the people ‘s welfare, for the right of people there was few greatest revolution in the history. The revolution without violence. Millions of people participated in the demonstration.
In the 20 days Non-violent revolution thousands of them injured, dozens of them killed. The children, youths, adults and almost everyone were in the street when there was curfew in the major cities of the country.
In 1950, 1960, 1971, 1978, 1988, there were some great demonstrations. But at the midnight of 23 April, it was said that the people of Nepal were independent and were the supreme power; more powerful than the king. After few days, the restored parliament declared that the Govt. is not the His Majesty’s but it was Nepal Government. Government of 25 million people. The declaration of the parliament made people the supreme power and restored all the human rights and cancelled all the Acts and sections in the law which was made to run the autocratic government.
Some people didn’t want this to happen whereas millions of people were waiting for this since hundreds of years. Now Maoists are being very positive and are supporting Govt. and people to formulate new rules and policies. Now we can do legal things from the name of mother too. Earlier we couldn’t identify ourselves from the name of mother but now we can. Hopefully there will be lots of positive change in the country. Once again we will be able to call this country NEPAL, THE LAND OF PEACE. Lets hope the freedom delivered at midnight will last forever in this Himalayan Kingdom as long as THE THIRD POLE (Mount Everest) stands at the top of the world.

One more step through the destination!!

After the determent effort, we could launch the project successfully. I have spent most part of the days in last few year for such activities. Thinking about doing something like the project has been daily routine for me. I always wanted to do something for the deserved group of people and society, that really have the meaning in itself and can make a difference. As great people say “ Everyone has something to give, no matter how small or big that is”. I also had something to give and still have some. I have the awareness, I have the knowledge, I have the education I can offer these things to other. I am actually trying to give these things through different ways. I know how long I needed to wait for this and don’t know still how long I should.
Sometimes one of my inspirational sister used to write “ even a small thing can make a difference” to make me feel better. And I am realizing now that was true. Even if that is not too big but my small effort has started to show it’s consequences. Now people are sending their kids to school for secondary level. Although all people are not doing what I wanted them to do, but number of students at school from remote villages are increasing rapidly.
I have my family, my uni classes, project and other things too. I am having the great time of my life except money. Anyway I am surviving with honour, respect and self-enthusiasm. This is very hard to achieve in life but I have got that. I am really happy to be born in this place and in this family because now I am having such a great time. If I was born in any western countries, may be I would be earning few thousand bucks a week at most, but I would never be hanging around these people and I would never be here doing all these things.
Now there are 75 children we sponsored for this year. Some of them are orphans, some have single parents but all of them are from poor families and are from remote villages, who need to walk like 4 hour each way to reach school and to get back to home.
I want all of our kids should not be the bad example for their villagers. They need to get a good job and prestige in village after they finish their study. To make them qualified, we need to provide them some technical/skill trainings so that they can survive having a good job after their study. They are one who are changing their family and society. They are social motivator and will be doing something to make a positive difference in their society. Still there are lots of poor, lower cast and needy kids waiting for sponsorship but we have very limited resources so we can do nothing now even if we would love to help them. But I am sure, we will be doing something for them also. I have great expectation from them. I would like to call them and say” hey wait!! We together can make a difference.”
