Why third world
Since 1998 – 1999 I stayed in a little developmentally better country than Nepal though I was living a westerners or better life in every parts of life. After that for 2000 until 2004 better than that. And after living 5 years in Nepal I went to England from where I returned in January 2013.
“Nepal is a third world country”, “we live in a third world country”. These sentences were hovering in my mind. But yesterday after returning from a small meeting with one person from the U.K. I stopped for air for my motorbike tyre. A boy age below 12 said that it is punctured. He told that it needs to be replaced or if leaked may be maintained. After checking by putting tube in water it was not possible that it could be done without changing tube. So I told to change it. But as this small and other little bigger than him was active in it, I asked the adult that who is this small guy. He said he is the owner. Surprisingly I said really and told even if he should not be doing that. He said he is his brother but that was not true. When these two guys was fitting tube inside and re-joining it into motorbike, I took video because the adult guy was gone somewhere. As I was taking video suddenly third world sentence stroke my mind saying that’s why I am living in a third world country where school is free of cost but children are working as house keeper, waiter in restaurant, taking care of infants, collecting fare in local bus and working in factories and workshops.
This motorbike service shop is located in the market place and Army’s camp is also nearby, no one speaks for other. This is why Nepal is a third world country needs to learn humanity.
