Let's raise right issues!

Nature may have created all livings and non-livings with huge effort. Among all, it must have created humans with love and emotion too. It cares about us all the time, may be so it manages the resources for us everywhere. It tries as much as it can, makes us reachable to resource and use it. But although it have tried much, some of us are still facing issues. Some of them are created by nature like flood, earthquake etc whereas some of them are created by humans themselves like dowry, inequality, sexual harassment etc.

Most of us are working for those issues so that resources can be made accessible to everyone. Everyone can live a better life. We are trying to overcome all issues either those are by nature or humans. Government organizations, I/NGOs all are working for solving the issues. Some of them have already solved some issues whereas some of them are working and some of them are failed too. There are lots of faces devoted for giving everyone a good life. Whereas there are lots of faces these days who create more issues by raising one issue. They are raising issues for the needed ones but they start it with the wrong way as well as inappropriate words. If issues are raised with right voice and right words they get solution and everyone is benefited. What if they lack the right direction and right words? Raising issues of society is good, because we always need some people to speak if something wrong is going on, but raising the wrong issues and wasting resources for it is crime.

For instance, If in some colony lacks food and it is thrived to starvation. If all the members, men and women, are suffering.  What if we write it as," Again women rights could not reach here. The women of the colony are starving. Where is government? " After reading the statement above government would never take it as the problem of poverty. It will start working for women rights and launch some programs there. Is women right need of the colony at the time? What would be the result? Probably all the people, men and women, would die of poverty or may be their condition would be worse. And it would be all for a single reason ,"raising the wrong issue." What would it have been if it was raised as ,"people of colony starved. Where is government?"  Later issue could take the stakeholders towards the right solution and probably people can be saved.

Lets raise the issues in order to get proper solution of it and address it. If the problem is not identified correctly it can never get the correct solution. The real problems get solution, created problems can never get. These days issues are not the real issue, raising wrong issue is the main issue. Specially, Nepal is already bound with lots of problems, let's not create more by raising wrong issues. Women's right, gender discrimination are the genuine issues and so many resources have been utilized to uplift the lives, but don't mix it with all the problems. Think twice before we raise an issue, if we are raising right issue then we will can get closer to its solution and if you are raising wrong issue then we can prevent world from more issue by dropping it  or searching the right way to raise it.

 

A face of volunteerism

“Volunteering for me is all about being able to give instant and long term happiness to all. May be they are the people whom we watch regularly or maybe we have never seen them in our whole life. Getting inspired with my own definition, I started to volunteer for empowering women of the Terai community of Nepal. I started my journey to educate them so that they can decide their life and volunteer for others who they used to be. 

The world can be happier place only if all of us are living happily. But in most places we can see that there men have only life, women are just their service provider or commodity to them. Women are concerned as service to men, their self existence is questioned? For the independence of my community, I tried to educate the women informally. I taught them to realize, "their own existence, their role." Nature is incomplete without them. I started this movement from Mahottari district a year ago and included some formal and non-formal education during my sessions. All the sessions are equally memorable to me and smile on those faces are unforgettable.

One of the sessions which is most memorable moment to me. We, me and my students, were talking about women rights in world. One old grandmother said ,"So we are equal to world. " I realized I am a good teacher and a good volunteer too. Because the grandmother have never felt her own existence and equality in society. And I answered her ,"Yes! all women are. Women are volunteer by nature that does not mean that they have no rights." This movement have increased women literacy, decision making roles of women in society and their participation in all events.

It is not a formal organization. Some of the women of local community run the program. The smiles in all the faces and positive confidence towards life in them drives me there. These days some of the local men are too attending the sessions so they can understand about the women rights and implement in their life.”

क्युं?

सुबह तुम्हारी, रौशनी तुम्हारे,

अंधकार ही सारे मेरे क्युं?

अंधकार चलो दिए तो दिए

उन अंधकारकी चन्द्रमा भी तुम्हारे क्युं?

क्या मैने ऐसा मांगलिया

जो तुम दे नही सकते,

आखिर दे नही कुछ सकते,

तो देनेका इसारा दिखाया क्युं?

घरमे लेना है इतना मुश्किल

तो बाहर जाके हम मांगे क्युं?

आदिकवि तुम्हारे, महाकवि तुम

तो मैं तुम्हारी धर्तीको अपना मांगु क्युं?

स्वर्ग तुम्हारी, जन्नत तुम्हारे

बचाखुचा नर्क मेरा क्युं?

नर्क मेरा हुवा तो हुवा,

ये नर्क चलानेवाला यमराज तुम्हारा क्युं?
