On "historical moments" like these, I think its hard to keep quiet and harder still to not be a part of that "history". And through discussions like these, we get a chance to share and refine our thoughts on issues that will no doubt define the course of our country's history. Thanks again for taking your time to contribute your thoughts in these historic moments for the people of Nepal (and I hope for the whole of South Asia)! Thanks Saswat.

And, on this occasion, comes to my mind, the great Canadian poet Cohen...: "I'm sentimental, if you know what I mean I love the country but I can't stand the scene. And I'm neither left or right I'm just staying home tonight, getting lost in that hopeless little screen. But I'm stubborn as those garbage bags that Time cannot decay, I'm junk but I'm still holding up this little wild bouquet: Democracy is coming to the U.S.A.!"

And, on this occasion, comes to my mind, the great Canadian poet Cohen…:

“I’m sentimental, if you know what I mean
I love the country but I can’t stand the scene.
And I’m neither left or right
I’m just staying home tonight,
getting lost in that hopeless little screen.
But I’m stubborn as those garbage bags
that Time cannot decay,
I’m junk but I’m still holding up
this little wild bouquet:
Democracy is coming to the U.S.A.!”
