My Country, My Pride

Recently, I came across the article on introducing LGBT rights in Nepal.... A series of emotion hit my head... I was very happy to see Nepal progressing but at the same time, i was upset because our culture and tradition was slowly and steadily fading away...
I close my eyes for a minute and think about Nepal. I picture my country as the only paradise of the world that has the world's tallest peak and other mountains.... The sun shining in the clear blue sky... Small towns and cities with hills around them, acting as their natural barrier... Greenery all around which still hosts a number of medicinal plants... Rivers and springs... The rich culture and traditions of each community... The local festival of 'Gai Jatra' or 'Trishul Jatra' or be it selecting Kumari, the living goddess... The uniqueness of Nepalese flag made me feel proud...
When I opened my eyes, i knew my dream was far from reality... The tallest peak was filthy, the clear blue sky now filled with smoke released out of vehicles, small towns under the threat of being attacked by god knows who all... Rivers and forest being used for the benefit of foreign land rather than my own country... 
I feel ashamed to say that the constitution of Nepal is written and re-written again and again...
People lack security there... 
My dream of Nepal as a paradise is always set upon in my heart, but sometimes, i feel, that is it worth the dream?
