Love Don't Ask "Who Are You?"
Love Only Says "You Are Mine !"
"People need love the most when they deserve it the least."
Love Don't Ask " Where Are You From?"
Love Only Says "You Lives In My Heart !"
"When you wake up in the morning, kiss your loved one on the forehead and wish them a good day."
Love Don't Ask "what Do You Do?"
Love Only Says "You Make My Heart To Beat !"
"Love from one side hurts, but love from two sides heals."
Love Don't Ask "Why Are You Faraway?"
Love Only Says "You Are Always With Me !"
"I would give up everything for one moment with you;
For one moment is better than a life time of never knowing you."
Love Don't Ask "Do You Love Me?"
Love Only Says...
I LOVE U...

ROLPA THE HIDDEN VALLEY OF NEPAL
Rolpa district, a part of Rapti zone, is one of the seventy-five districts of Nepal. The district, with Livang as its district headquarters, covers an area of 1,879 km² and has a population (2001) of 210,004. By Nepalese standards, Rolpa is underdeveloped and plagued by low life expectancy (52 years) and poverty (on average less than $100 per capita). It was a major flashpoint in the 1996-2006 Civil War. Adjoining districts are Dang to the south, Pyuthan to the east, Salyan to the west and Rukkum to the north.
Most of Rolpa is rugged highlands populated by the indigenous Kham Magar nationality. These highlands are isolating because traders and travelers have always detoured around them. The highlands are drained southward by the Mardi Khola (stream). Irrigated ricefields along this stream are of limited extent because it has eroded a narrow inner gorge, and those that exist are monopolized by Pahari Hindus and Newars, leaving the indigenous Kham with upland fields too high and cold, steep or rocky for rice cultivation. Upland harvests of maize, millet and barley are invariably insufficient and so Rolpa has chronic food deficits.
Food deficits have driven upland Kham into growing market crops (fruit and hashish) better suited to the terrain than grain, although marketing is hampered by lack of roads beyond Liwang. Kham also make ends meet by selling their labor. They work as agricultural laborers in other districts, as porters, as soldiers and as general laborers, but their input is devalued by Rolpa's underdeveloped education infrastructure. There is no post-secondary education in the district, and students who speak more Khamkura than Nepali are disadvantaged in primary and secondary education because Nepali is the medium of instruction and the national examination system selects against students who are not proficient in it. Without educational credentials Kham lack access to the more desirable jobs.
