Electricity in Nepal

Probably the most expensive electricity in the earth but to be sure the most disgusting inappropriate definition in our nation.

Almost all the populations boast about the pride of NEPAL but I guess it’s a nation of false statements. Government says electricity but kids know more facts about load shedding. 100% of the Nepalese territory is a victim of load shedding.

I once asked an engineering student to define electricity and he replied, ‘Electricity is the flow of electrical power or charge. It is a secondary energy source which means that we get it from the conversion of other sources of energy, like coal, natural gas, oil, nuclear power and other natural sources, which are called primary sources. Electricity is a basic part of nature and it is one of our most widely used forms of energy. Despite its great importance in our daily lives, most of us rarely stop to think what life would be like without electricity. Yet like air and water, we tend to take electricity for granted. Everyday, we use electricity to do many jobs for us -- from lighting and heating/cooling our homes, to powering our televisions and computers. Electricity is a controllable and convenient form of energy used in the applications of heat, light and power’.

This was of course a very right definition; Yet again, I was pushed with my survey and I went to a kid and asked him to define electricity and he replied, ‘Electricity is the time when there is no Load shedding’.

I was amazed and I asked him to define Load shedding and he said, ‘Load shedding is the 6 hour dark time per day in Nepal.’ I then asked him to be more specific and he replied that it’s the most disgusting time as he is not able to watch his favorite TV show ‘Justice League’.

So why do we need electricity? Is it for a Justice League TV show or is it because it does many jobs for us.

The present situation of Nepal is very worst. The politicians of each party is calling it a New Nepal and acting themselves enthusiastic but what lies in between development and human resources is always a mystery here. I guess human resources should be used to its full for a New Nepal but can the human resources be used when the government gives us load shedding each and every day. Is our government this ignorant and too enthusiastic in his false craze for the development of Nepal. We are almost paralyzed when ever there is no electricity, the business rushes downward, all of us are mentally affected and in such a situation can we expect a New Nepal with a bunch of mentally frustrated population.

Let’s discuss this issue here and at least satisfy our mind the Osho way. Anything is allowed. No moderator shall be active in this issue. Let’s see how we and the rest of us react for the Load shedding issue that we are having each day. Just don’t spam the platform.
