Dashain is back !!!
Typically, Dashain brings relaxation and enjoyment to the lives of Nepali people. How poor they may be, but every family plans for something grandiose, according to their standards, on this festive occasion. Regarded as the biggest festival in Nepal, Dashain transcends religion, cast and culture in our country. This is the time when people meet their "long time no see" relatives and exchange good wishes. Playing cards and other forms of gambling is another prominent ingredient that makes Dashain so popular. Many people defame it by the name of "Dasha" or curse but well within even they enjoy it.
What does Dashain bring this time?
Nepal welcomes the impending festival with various unresolved and critical issues. But how grave the issue be, it has to make way for Dashain to pass. Dashain waits for nothing.
People, well... they are going to enjoy it despite their destitute economy because the source of their bliss does not reside on any corporeal matter. The source is their own will, their anticipation and obviously the longest public holiday in national calendar.
Maoists did not succeed in deluding the government with their pretension of armistice. Quite a few of Maoist rebels have recently been arrested in their attempt to enter the capital valley. So Nepal Blog Discovery hopes that those people will take a time out to gather themselves and formulate new strategies. That means peace, although it's just for few weeks.
Recently, the whimsical Deputy chairperson of the Nepalese government, Mr. Tulsi Giri stated that the late King Birendra Bir Bikram Shah Dev was the one who authorized the current constitution so the King does have the authority to alter or dismiss the constitution. It caused havoc among political parties. King Gyanendra Bir Bikram Shah Dev has been known to make disputable decisions during times when the country is engaged with something else and is not focusing on politics. What better occasion than Dashain for the King to actually put Giri's actions in work…. But personally, Nepal Blog Discovery does not expect any such move, as it will just add lots of fuel to the existing conflagration. Secondly, the King can extract enough from the existing constitution.
Now, about the political parties, their activities will certainly settle down during Dashain as many of their supporters will leave for their home. Their protests have increased in intensity due to Mr. Giri's comments but it will subside due to Dashain. By the way, Nepal Blog Discovery was totally shocked by the anti monarch comments of Mr. Girija Prasad Koirala. He clearly threatened King Gyanendra saying that Kings are also human beings thus can be killed and have been killed in the past. Nepal Blog thinks that the old man is getting more and more senile as he is advancing towards the end of his life. Just imagine what kind of retaliations there would have been, had the king stated similar remarks about the political leaders!!!
Nepal Blog Discovery wonders what lies beyond Dashain... But who cares... such drama will continue for long time. Lets just focus on upcoming joys and try to make it wonderful. Nepal Blog Discovery wishes you all
"All the happiness and prosperity on the
auspicious occasion of Dashain"
auspicious occasion of Dashain"

The article featured by NewsBlaze throws spotlight over a very critical issue - India's encroachment within Nepalese territory. Most of nepalese people are aware of the fact and resent the indian activities harshly but the common anguish has yet not been streamed into a single forceful action. Nepal Blog is certain that the government and the political parties are well aware of it so their indifference on the subject further reduces their credibility.
We are really thankful to NewsBlaze, Princess Shrestha and all the people are raising the issues on international arena.
