Still I believe that many of us have an image of &#39;home&#39; that’s so idealistic and glamorized. But at times, it meshes with reality to remind us that we can&#39;t always close our eyes and forget the truth.<br /><br />Alok, I am glad to hear from you as always. hope you can make a trip back home some day :-)<br /><br />Dilip ji, I appreciate your thoughts. and, thanks for your boosting remarks about my posts!<br /><br />@Natsu, the story told by the passenger has been rewritten without loosing the intended message. <br /><br />Basant ji, I feel encouraged by your compliment. and I agree with you regarding our &#39;culture&#39; of politics and political talks.<br /><br />Badri ji, I am happy that you found the post interesting.<br /><br />Prajwol ji, the life in Terai specially in places like Birgunj, is extremely difficult without electricity (if one doesn&#39;t have a back - up source). In rural areas there might be something indigenous but what I have come across is the so called &#39;hand fans&#39;. However, people apply some traditional way of making their roofs &#39;heat proof&#39;.<br /><br />AP, your query requires a thorough investigation of the available alternative resources to combat the electricity problem. I will try to discuss these issues in one of my upcoming posts.DEEPENDRAhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16286823815909006498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1230560255679527554.post-73986414159338845162009-07-26T11:46:59.435+09:002009-07-26T11:46:59.435+09:00Load shedding in Nepal is a reality now and this year it might be worse as there is very less monsoon rain fall. would like to know what do you think the government should do to combat the possible crisis?<br /><br />About the state of Nepalese politics? no comments!APnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1230560255679527554.post-88824142333644379442009-07-23T01:52:36.581+09:002009-07-23T01:52:36.581+09:00I have been to India just twice, so it’s very interesting to see India through your prism.<br /><br />Besides adaptation, I am curious how people in Terai withstand such a severe heat. There must be some indigenous technology, especially when people have been living there for generations.Prajwolhttp://kamaladi.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1230560255679527554.post-75285434343325320162009-07-22T20:32:21.030+09:002009-07-22T20:32:21.030+09:00Very intresting!badrihttp://www.dolakhatown.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1230560255679527554.post-59775413677575170752009-07-21T10:59:56.721+09:002009-07-21T10:59:56.721+09:00Enjoying your travelogues! I like your description of places and people. Nepalese are addicted to politics and political talks. That may be due to the bad politics done by the leaders. Or it may be the root of the bad politics itself.Basantahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00736262122360069167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1230560255679527554.post-22214027827366907422009-07-20T15:40:09.036+09:002009-07-20T15:40:09.036+09:00That was a very good story telling by the passengerNatsunoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1230560255679527554.post-19750154388822693302009-07-20T14:13:50.629+09:002009-07-20T14:13:50.629+09:00<b>We don&#39;t do anything till the last moment but suddenly become &#39;very active&#39; to finish things off.</b><br /><br />Yes, this is exactly what we have been doing from the beginning. But as they say हडबडको काम गडबड, everything done at the eleventh hour creates more problems than solving the on going one. <br /><br />I always feel that you depict things in such a way, we can find brightness even in the darkness.Dilip Acharyahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11725588223118021219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1230560255679527554.post-8733173304601081182009-07-20T11:51:22.336+09:002009-07-20T11:51:22.336+09:00Feeling envy to know that you visited home :-). However, I too agree that we have a very idealistic and glamourized image of home in our thoughts but this image may vanish once you meet with the reality. There may be problems, but we all love home!<br /><br />The second part of your story describes more than a tour diary. lol :-) Anyway, loved to see the picture of Birgunj gate. and other two cartoons are also very good.<br /><br />&quot;we keep on winning debates and the country always stands at the losing point&quot; sarcastic yet very true!Aloknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1230560255679527554.post-16346412460959363482009-07-19T05:15:45.158+09:002009-07-19T05:15:45.158+09:00happy to khow that you are in you home country... bandh lock out..je jasto bhae ni aafno desh bhaneko aafnai ta ho ni ...Milanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18133079367951660690noreply@blogger.com
