Know what’s yours

Yesterday we had a little chat on tempo as Bollywood stars and a nice Hindi song painted on its wall catch a glimpse of ours.The posters of Indian Movie Starts in Wedding Invitations posters or posing in some classic hairstyle. Seeing Nepali public transport as a showroom of Bollywood industry makes us laugh on our shame. Don’t get me wrong because I’m not here to criticize those who adore Bollywood. By the way I also enjoy Bollywood songs and movies and myself I’m the great fan of Mr. Amir Khan. Back to the point, here is something where we have to lay our eyes on; decorating our vehicle with Indian celebrities and criticizing India for invading our boundaries, watching Hindi channels and reality shows every single minute you have a remote controller on your hands and blaming India for provoking Buddha’s birthplace is not in Nepal, and visiting theatre every weekend for Hindi cinema doesn’t leave us the option of blaming our stupid neighbors. what you think? Isn’t this a shame?

As a Nepali we certainly have something of our own, something really different than others that made this Himalayan topography as an independent nation and that something is what we called identity, dignity, honor, pride or whatsoever. And in this case I’m not confused but am damm sure that this thing is certainly not the Bollywood or our immense love for Hindi sayeri and dialogue. Time and often we make a gossip about the invasion of Kalapani, Susta, Tanakpur and many other places but we have never mentioned about what I called the cultural invasion. If this love for Indian glamour industry remains for the time being the day may come when there will be nothing left for you to differentiate with Indian. And that day I’m sure you will loose everything. I have tips for those who thinks that unless there is Himalaya there will be Nepal; don’t bother brothers because land doesn’t belongs to anybody what belongs to you is your glory and pride. The Indian subcontinent was a part of the British Empire, in early 20th century there wasn’t a country called an Israel and more than that today’s Europe was once the part of Napoleon conquest.

Finally always remember those beautiful aren’t yours, those hero’s aren’t yours. Why don’t you try to be happy with what you’ve got? And isn’t this a high time to try Mr. Rajesh Hamal?

Thanks for that tempo owner who makes me realize what’s mine and what’s not.
