Stop making high-sounding avowals!

Talking funny matters have become common in Nepal. Utterances that have nothing to do with the existing realities too have become a regular feature in this Himalayan Kingdom.

Lose talks, for sake of pleasing the common men, could well be heard these days. Shocking, as it is, the people, however, are forced to listen these pointless-meaningless speeches of the Nepalese leaders and ministers. The fact is that the people do listen but give less weightage to such funny talks. The people in essence possess no other alternatives other than to listen to those ridiculous lectures.

One leader some time back promised that he would make Nepal a copy of Switzerland. At yet another time he promised that Kathmandu valley would need no sweepers henceforth as he was planning to manage plenty of water for the valley which would automatically make Kathmandu clean. In effect, it was after this horrible utterances made by that particular leader, the men in the valley felt the acute shortage of water.

Likewise, one gentleman declared that he would make Kathmandu clean, green and healthy. The fact is that Kathmandu has become just the other wise since the declaration.

While it is understandable as to why the leaders or for that matter the politician speak of the unimaginable, what we fail to understand when such utopian declarations come from non-political quarters. The non-political sections of the society apparently understands it better that high-flying commitments can't be brought into being but yet make utterances of the sort that simply invite criticisms from the lay men.

One such news has come into the fore in which the Nepal's Police department has vowed to make Kathmandu valley the most secured and safest place in the entire of South Asia.

Day dreaming is, medical practitioners say, a disease. However, the disease could consume much of one's valuable time and time permitting might eat up your wallet as well.

It is a day dreaming exercise of the Nepal's Police force. Talking any thing under the sun is different. But bringing it to be in existence is really a different and difficult task indeed.

Considering the past experiences of the Nepal's Police force in maintaining law and order situation in the country, more so in the Kathmandu valley, it would be hoping against hope that the fresh commitment made by the said organization would ever take shape at least in my life time.

But then, I am confident in a way that if some one or some institution make it a point and indulge seriously in making their own commitments come true, then it could be surely done.

What is required is the dedication, seriousness and discipline which perhaps the Nepali police force possesses in abundance. A catalytic force is also required which the people could act if approached by the said institution. But the million-dollar question is that will they remain true to their fresh commitments for long?
