Impossible remains to be impossible until someone proves otherwise. People found the idea of flight for humans to be impossible until wright brothers took the first solid steps and proved it to be otherwise. 100 meters in a meager 9.58 secs is impossible to us but the continuous effort and dedication of USAIN BOLT made it possible.

In a land where the government is corrupt, people are drowning in poverty and strikes are our weekly national holidays, people have lost hope for their nation and for themselves. Living in a fairy dream that gold trees sprout in the foreign land, 1500 Nepalese emigrate in the hope of a brighter future through foreign employment. Our market is very unstructured and the supply to demand ratio isn’t equal, but with relentless effort we’ll be able to crack it.

A 3 storied building and boarding schools for his children is a dream of every low living Nepali and a reality for a ‘PaniPuri’ vendor in Surunga, Jhapa. Many of us might have heard about Honacha, a newari restaurant in mangalbazar and some of us might have been there as well. Do you believe that the owner of Honacha is richer than many of us present out here. See! The thing is not to inherit tons of property and a lucrative opportunity, but to create opportunities.

 Looking back to my initiative ‘SCARF MOVEMENT’, there were voices saying it wouldn’t be a success, let alone make a positive difference. These voices got to me at times and I doubted if it would reach its marks as it was 10 days after the acid and infant rape incident. Then I took it as a challenge to prove them wrong and make a change. I cant recall the number of schools and colleges, organizations and clubs to F.M. stations I went in a narrow time frame of two days, for all I intended was the voices to be heard and not for popularity or for monetary  causes.

True inspiration comes from the source of our motive. Interviewing the survivor in her disfigured yet unflinching courageous state, it fueled my motive and as a result thousand’s gathered in Basantapur with placards, banners and slogans to fight with Sangita, the acid attack survivor. Good media coverage helped to make a difference and within few days the perpetrator Jiwan B.K. was caught. The thing is not to boast about my movement but a personal experence to prove that “If we want something Wholeheartedly. The entire universe conspires to make it ours”. Jiwan B.K. was caught just a few days after our movement but still I don't regard the movement has been successful. I hope that the government takes the required action, builds up a strong legislative and emphasize on her treatment and rehabilitation.

It’s always hard to resist inertia. Having stated that, its really difficult to take a tiny step in the very early phase. But as steps go on, it gains momentum and the journey ahead gets easier. The motive behind the movement wasn’t to gain sympathy but empathy and collective hands. We as human beings shouldn’t just feel sorry for the other soul, but make their pain our very own, to imagine ourselves in the very shoes of the other, and then and only then can true change come.

We are more than happy to oblige being enslaved in foreign land, but becomes a matter of shame here. The lovely daughters and sons of the so called ‘GHARANIYA PARIWAR’ who never had to raise a plate for themselves are waiting tables at Mc. Donalds, KFC and food courts. How wonderful it is that they boast about their job, their somewhat independence from their parental income. Believe me no work is small and no profession is due for disgrace. its our narrow spectrum with which we see the world that make professions and professionals seem small. Everyone is important in their own way, Regardless of the professions we embrace. We should try to excel in it, be a leader and aspire others to someday be leaders and aspire others similarly.

Strategizing for others downfall, gossiping a rumor, inhibiting someone’s growth has never helped someone grow. It simply holds the others for a while only for them to come stronger and smarter. What choice do you make, act the villain or the co-star to success and growth? A talking mouth or a helping hand? A loved one or a hated one? The choice is yours to make.
