Congrats Dylan

In democratic country, any individual certainly have the right to speak and express their opinions. But that does not mean that they need to obstruct other’s routine simply to get voices heard. I remember
the strike called out time and again throughout world - be it Anna Hazare's movement in India or Tamil Tigers move in Sri Lanka, be it terrorist attack at France, or Bokoharam's moves simply to get their voices heard.

भारत भ्रमणको मूल्याङ्कन आवश्यक

जर्मन चान्सलर नियुक्त हुनासाथ अमेरिका पुग्ने, अमेरिकी राष्ट्रपति हुनासाथ बेलायत जाने वा अन्य कुनै मुलुकमा पनि यस्तो परिपाटी देखिँदैन । नेपालमा भने यो प्रचलन २००७ सालदेखि नै रहेको भन्ने प्रशस्त छन् ।  अहिले आएर यो परम्पराजस्तै बनेको छ । सामान्यतः सानो मुलुक भएकाले छिमेकीसँग राम्रै सम्बन्ध गाँस्नुलाई सीधै नकारात्मक रूपमा लिन पनि मिल्दैन, त्यसमाथि भारत र नेपालबीच छिमेकीभन्दा पनि ‘रोटीबेटी’ अर्थात् सांस्कृतिक परम्परा झल्काउने सम्बन्ध झन् प्रगाढ छ ।
