SAARC, the dead shark

When the tide of SAARC first came in Kathmandu, it was like a shark - everybody were worried, intimidated, terrified and what not. Now, after nearly two decades, it is still like a shark. But I have to tell you, it is like a dead shark.

Why do people need to meet if they cannot solve any problem or, to be very frank, do not want to sove it? They better go to a pub at Thamel and enjoy dance restaurant (I swear I won't tell their wives) if they really want to relax and forget their internal problems.

SAARC is like this today. They have lots of things to promise, trade, tourism, human traffiking, terrorism and hwat not. But when they really have to do something, they become really a sarakari karmachari, in Nepali way. They can blow out billions of rupees in this "bukhyacha" summit but they cannot even promise to come back home with a pint of success. What the hell they think they are doing there? At least some countires form SAARC, they are superb in their countries but when they come to SAARC, they turn out to be crippled, impotent. Why? Aren't they pretending to be so, so that the neighbours do not progress?

This is a very extraordinary region in the world. They can beat the whole world in being selfish, mean and devilish. And out of such hellish character, the came up with a noble idea of SAARC. But see, they are bound to thier nature - old habits die hard. And thus the dream of SAARC is suffering.

Can't you come up and say that it is useless from the microphone if you really thing so. Or if not, you need to have the guts and mind to turn your golden promises into action. We, the people, are very hopeful.
