Sunrise on 10 April 2008 in Birgunj, Nepal. 10 April was the day the first elections to the Constituent Assembly were held. |
On 10 April 2008, I couldn't vote, I was tasked to play a small role in ensuring that those who set out to exercise their rights are being able to do so in a free and fair atmosphere, deep down inside I feel I made a contribution that day, a contribution to lasting peace in my country.
Today, 19 November 2013, I am not able to vote. I am too far from my country to have this unique responsibility.
However, I encourage all Nepalese people to vote today, exercise your rights. People have sacrificed a lot, they have sacrificed their lives so that you be able to exercise your rights. It is your responsibility. Vote today!
On a side note, I will be tweeting any updates I come across. If you would like to receive the updates, follow me: @bullet350 [https://twitter.com/bullet350] I will be using the hash-tag #NepalVotes and #NepalIsVoting
