This project is work in Progress.
While the country is facing breakthrough transition to federalism and drafting new constitution, it has many challenges and problems. Much negative news is spreading around the globe. This is to show the world, we have many things that make us unique again. This is to reinforce the faith on Nepal and its possibilities among Nepalese youths who are dreaming for a prosperous and better Nepal.
Looking back to those points, it gives a new hope about the future of Nepal. It shows that we have many reasons to dream each night, wake up early morning and work to reach those dreams. Now I am fully convinced that, in future, we don’t have to rely on foreign aids. In future, we don’t have to beg for Dollars so that we could feed our small ones. And I am sure, in future; we won’t be caught in the Airports of London and New York as an illegal immigrant. One day, that one golden day, we will add to this statement “We are proud of Nepal” –“The paradise of the world.”
If you find any mistakes, please let me know. And also don’t forget to participate on the project. Any comments and suggestions are welcomed. Your name will be published on the end of the page. Hope it will reach 101 very soon! Lots of thanks to friends who has already contributed.
