Omar El Akkad
“Immigrants are supposed to be grateful. The narrative arc of immigration, in which one flees their own failing society to come to a better place, a country that was under no obligation to accept them but did, demands perpetual gratitude. And it exists, this gratitude, but the narrative makes no room for the many shapes it comes in, its many less straightforward forms. I harbor no ill will toward the immigrant who waves the miniature flag on the sides of the Independence Day parade, who says honestly and plainly: I love this country. But nor do I judge the immigrant who is as emotionless and pragmatic about the nation-state as the people who run that nation-state are so regularly emotionless and pragmatic about immigrants, who says honestly and plainly: I don't love this country, don't love any country, patriotism being the property of an entirely different kind of life than luck has given me; I live here because it will always be safer to live on the launching side of the missiles. I live here because I am afraid.”
― Omar El Akkad, One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This

“Do you think GDP is the parameter to measure the depth and soul of a Country?

The people of Nepal are ahead of all of us in the world in their broad mindedness and hospitality. Ask any traveler from any part of the world who has visited Nepal about their experience here amongst the people, enjoying the lush greenery and pristine beauty of Nepal. The People of Nepal welcome everyone with love and affection. I have stayed here from 2015 to 2025, and I have felt peace, calmness, and I discovered a deeper meaning of life.

The Spirit of Nepal is Inspiring. Nepal teaches the world to love and spread kindness. Nepal teaches the world to never give up hope. And maybe one day the World will forget all these man made disparities among people and become One World.”
― Avijeet Das
