To understand the shortcuts humans use when making decisions, take this quiz based on the work of a Nobel Prize winning psychologist, Daniel Kahneman.

Be careful of the kind of mind-manipulations some thinkers, writers and politicians make to convince you with their agendas.

Death of democracy is not likely to be an assassination from ambush. It will be a slow extinction from apathy, indifference, and undernourishment.

Variability is one of the virtues of a woman. It avoids the crude requirement of polygamy. So long as you have one good wife you are sure to have a spiritual harem.

Example of the extent of politicization and harm brought about by political parties in Nepal. Scott MacLennan, the Executive Director of The Mountain Fund posted this picture with the following caption on his facebook:

Then came the biggest dissapointment of all. What should have been the  most modern hospital for the entire district, serving 45,000 people with  full care for all things is lost because of political fighting. Prem  Tamang and his damn maoist people only want Maoists to have a hospital  not all Rasuwa, so we walked away from this too. Happy Prem? You are the  leader for Rasuwa and you screw your own people out of a hospital for  your party needs. Welcome to the new Nepal where politicians rule and  people get nothing. Well done, Prem my lad.

चार सत्य

लेखक: मिलन बगाले

—————————————-

राजतन्त्रको जरोमुलो मास्सिदा,

सामन्तीतन्त्रले नेटो काटने

हावाका रङ्गीचङ्गी वेलूनहरु

टायरले किच्न लागिसके

कमरेड पजेरो रोक,

हावाको वेलूनभित्र

तिम्रो सक्कली अनुहार र

जनताका अटेसमटेस सपना छन

पानीको फोकोझै फुट्ला !

——————————

लुटन तिमिले सिकायौ

लुछ्न तिमिले सिकायौ

गरेर होईन,

खोसेरै खान सिकायौ

कालो सिसाभित्र बसेर

कमरेड ज्यादती रोक्छु नभन

वाईसिएले तिम्लाई नै कुटला!

————————

र्सवहाराको नेता भनेको

सवैतिर हार्नु हैन,

र जनता भोकै राखेर

एक्लै तर् मार्नु हैन,

कमरेड बादल मडारिदैछ ,

हिउदमा छाता सिईराख

बर्खामा पानीले चुटला !

————————

गाडी चढ्यौ खाट चढ्यौ

घोडा बनाई जनतालाई

दशबर्ष ढाड चढ्यौ

कोशी फुट्यो कर्णाली फुट्यो

दुख पिडाको मुल फुट्यो

तर तिम्रो हृदयको पथ्थर फुटेन

हातमा हतौडा बोकेर

कमरेड खप्पर फोर्छु नभन

धागाको डोरीजस्तो

नेपालीको धैर्यको बाध टुट्ला !

फोहोर को थुप्रो मा उभिएर

(छेत्रप्रताप अधिकारी का सुन्दर शब्दहरु)

————————————————-
मान्छेहरु
मेरो कवितामा
राजनिति पस्यो भन्छन
कस्तो फसाद!
फोहोरको थुप्रोमा उभिएर
फुलको कविता कसरी लेख्नेहोला ?
प्रजातन्त्रको पछि लागेर
कमीसनतन्त्र आयो
र देशै खायो
यो सत्य
घामझै छर्लङ छ
अब यो घामलाई
हत्केलाले कसरी छेक्नेहोला?
………………….
देश जताततै हारिरहेछ
हारको मुन्टो झुकाएर
जीतको कविता
कसरी लेख्नेहोला ?
अधिकाश मनहरु
अध्यारा छन
अब यो अन्धकारमा
उज्यालो कसरी देख्नेहोला?.
…………………….
फोहोरको थुप्रोमा
उभिएर देखेको लेखेको छु
…………………..
