It’s a sentence most of us have probably used at one time or another; though we probably don’t want elaborate on the context we’ve used it in. But hey, what’s wrong with love? Love is one of the central human emotions. We all experience love for someone or something, to varying degrees, at one time or another. Most of the times, when we think of love, it brings a warm, fuzzy, and sometimes naughty feeling – the type that makes us feel that nothing in the world matters, with the exception of our beloved. We are often hushed up and reluctant to discuss love with anyone, except for maybe our close friends. But if we think about it, love isn’t something bad. In fact, it too is a blessing. Think: if there was no love in the world, every single person would fight everyone else. There would be no peace and happiness. The world would be a terrible place without love. Love is natural. It enters the heart and leaves at will, and we don’t have much control over it. While we don’t have control over love, we do possess control over the actions it can lead us to. In essence, love is good, but it is the actions that result from it that are of concern. As with anything, there is a certain limit and transgressing the limit turns the good into bad. Many times, the love for our beloved can lead us on to a very treacherous path. It can happen very slowly – so slowly that one often fails to realize what is about to transpire, and “things” just “seem to happen”. Love is natural, yet what it can lead to is what’s dangerous. We all fall in love one time or the other. The key is to control the love and put the brakes on any potentially unlawful actions it may lead us to, no matter how minor they may seem. Whatever, love is eternal and immortal.                                                                                                                                                                                                   Ram Bhandari.............. [Updated on 2010-10-01] By: Mero Nepal 107 views Lets talk about it…… The USAID/Nepal has announced the launch of its five-year, $15.6 million (approximately 1.16 billion rupees) for the 'Ghar Ghar Maa Swasthya' (Healthy Homes) program. According to the USAID, the program will assist the government of Nepal to expand the reach and impact of the private sector in social marketing, by providing low cost supply of maternal child health, family planning and HIV prevention products and services. The Healthy Homes program is designed so that focus remains on the most vulnerable populations living in the more remote areas of Nepal. Healthy Homes is also reflective of commitment to mobilize the ideas, efforts and resources of the private sector by forging alliances to address critical issues, including those in the health sector. But in context of Nepal, does the funds are exactly utilizes for the need of grassroot level people. Is it elevating the living standard; economically and mentally, of the vulnerable population according to the program designed or let’s say is it utilized in the organized methodical ways? Let’s talk about it…… Ram Bhandari.............. [Updated on 2010-10-01]
