An interaction with Dr. Bhola N. Chalise

I had never been good at remembering and recalling names and had no clue as to who Dr.Bhola Chalise was. I asked around with a couple of friends and came to know that he had apparently worked in various ministry’s of government as secretary, and was apparently a very big name in the Nepal political arena
As he entered he reminded me of Einstein, very lean and thin, with dark circles under the eyes and gray hair that did justice to his knowledge that he had amassed with his experience.
He came across as someone who had very good knowledge of what he was saying. Very down to earth and humble, he had no unnecessary ego whatsoever, that people generally seem to have when they reach a post as high as him. Even at the age of 60 he had the energy and enthusiasm that generally is not witnessed. He answered every question properly.
However one flaw that I couldn’t help but notice in his way of presentation, or mode of delivery is that he tends to get a little aggressive, if the other person doesn’t agree to his viewpoints. He might be right with his left wing viewpoints, but if any right wing person puts forwards his/her view he doesn’t seem to have the patience of explaining the flaw in the latter person’s point of view. It could be perhaps that he is tired of having to explain it to be people time and time again. But nevertheless, it is good to know that people as humble as him, as down to earth as him, as knowledgeable as him are still in Nepal and doing their part to help create the new Nepal.
