Political Career In Nepal

Joining politics in Nepal is more about earning money, it's not about selfless service. When I watch television I find one difference between western country and Nepal i.e. in western country people treat film stars and musicians as famous person or rich person but in Nepal politician live life of celebrities. They get cover from media each and every time.
When a actor or singer passes by no one cares, but when a politician passes people will start talking and will surely treat him/her as celebrity.
Celebrities in western country are full time dedicated to their job but here in Nepal every single person who is associated to party is a full time contributor of that party. While our singers and actors are part time singers/actors.

Things are opposite. Being politician is profession while singing and acting still unstable or still lacks professionalism.

Save Safa Tempo

Electric tempo of Kathmandu called as safa tempo are my favorites. They run on battery so they are non polluting. They don't keep their passengers kochakoch so it's easy to use them daily base. But these days I am seeing a problem with them and that's about fare. Using a diesel powered micro van and traveling from Gausala to Sundhara cost maximum of 15 rupees without student card discount but it't costs 18 rupees when we use tempo. It sounds unfair because electric vehicles are being expensive than the vehicles that runs on fossil fuel. Due to this cause tempo drivers are experiencing that very few people are using tempo nowadays. They say if this thing goes continuously tempo will surely day one day as trolly bus died. The problem has gone so high but I don't see any news agency or media trying to know this problem. I guess they even don't about this problem or they don't want to know. I am not writing this just because I love tempos. I am writing this because tempos are very important for making this polluted Kathmandu Valley a breathable city.
