NETRA KHANAL
I would hide weeks in woods,...I would tread hours along long narrow trails restraining the empty belly all night. Famished, I would ask the rustics for a morsel of food, no doubt it would be a scoop of extortion, torture and others in the newspaper the other day. I would assume the hunger a fast—an idolatry for the sake of change, revolution and emancipation from servitude and slavery of long entrenched feudal society— in terms of our own school of thought. It was my fate and the doodled destiny; I lost my left leg in the counterattack of Beni. Then after, a lot of water has flown in Kali and Magdi rivers and the political dynamics has taken all obtuse turns that every young and old knows. But now, after almost 10 years, as a discharged disqualified fighter labeled by UNMIN, I am living the wretched life.I sacrificed my youth, adulthood and my body parts in the name of revolution. But now the vestige of that vacuous dream haunts in mind time and again I happen to smother my amputated leg. Will my sacrifice pay off. — http://bit.ly/zH9cgH

Your fault was to believe the politicians, and be unaware of geopolitics. Sorry that you had to suffer. K. K. Sharma, Kathmandu
