British हरुले Asia रजाई गरेका थिए रे भन्ने पढेको सानो छँदा। सात समुद्र पार गरेर जमिन कव्जा गरेर राज गर्ने दिन नि थिए रे। हाम्रा पुर्खाले डटेर लडेका दिन पनि थिए रे। क्या अचम्म लाग्ने । यो ईतिहासमा घटेको घटना हैन जस्तो लाग्ने। रे का कुरा नै पत्याउनु पर्ने रहेछ यो संसारमा। मान्छे जन्मिन्छन्, अर्को पुस्तालाई जन्माउछन्, हुर्काउँछन अनि बिलय हुन्छन्। यो नै रहेछ संसारको जीवन चक्र।
कैयन चक्रहरु वित्तै जाने क्रममा प्रिथ्विको धेरै जस्तो भुभाग सिमांकित भइसकेको छ। कति ठाउँमा यो सिमांकित गर्न संघर्ष हुदै छ। मेरो देश, पुर्खाले बनाएको देश भनेर नयाँ पिडिले पनि काँधमा काँध दिन्छन सिमांकित क्षेत्रका मान्छेहरुले। हरेक सिमांकित क्षेत्र जहाँ एउटै राजनितिक नियम छ, लाई देश भनिन्छ क्यारे। परिभाषा खोतन्न मन लाग्यो: “A State (note the capital "S") is a self-governing political entity. The term State can be used interchangeably with country”.
देश-देश बिचमा संबन्ध छ। जाने आउने नियमहरु बनाईएका छन्। विकासक्रमको द्रिष्टिकोणले कति अघाडि छन् कोहि देश, कोहि देशका जनता खान नपाएर भोकभोकै मरिरेका छन। त्यसैले पनि सहयोगको भावनाको विकास भएको होला। “तिम्रो देश देखेर मलाई माया लागेर आयो। म तिम्रा जनतालाई सचेत गर्न, जान्ने वनाउन सघाउछु” भनेर कति देशले अर्को देशलाई सघाउँछन पनि। त्यसैले Human Resource को सहयोग होस या गाँस अनि वासको सवै कुराहरु साटासाट हुन्छ। गरिव देश भएर पनि नेपालले वंगलादेशमा वाढि आउँदा सघाएको कुराले पनि प्रश्ट्याउछ। म गरिव भएर के भो त तिमीलाई परेको बेला म सघाउँ छु नि भनेर दिएको होला। मलाइ पनि पर्न सक्छ विपत्ति त्यो बेला मलाई सघाउला भनेर पनि होला।
Finland Government को अरु देशका जनतामा सुचना प्रविधिको सेवा गर्ने सघाउने कार्यक्रम अंतरगत छानिन पुगियो। त्यहिवाट मेरो यात्रा सुरु भयो यो विस्वलाई छुने, हेर्ने। त्यसैले म ति Government हरु जसको भुमि टेक्न पाईयो वा भनौं सहयोग पाइयो (प्रत्यक्ष) तिनिहरुको चर्चा गर्ने विचार गर्दैछु। धेरै चर्चा हैन तिनिहरुको पहिचानको। पहिचानको लागि तिनिहरुको झन्डा लिएको छु । शुरुभने आफ्नै देशको झन्डावाट गर्छु। आफ्नो देश जसले जन्माएको छ, यो संसारमा। अनि आफ्नो देशको परिचय बोकेर हिडिरहेको छु, विश्वमा। Finland को झन्डाको हुनेछ चर्चा त्यसपछी, जसले मलाई यो मौका दिएको छ। त्यसपछि Thailand हुनेछ, जुन मेरो पहिलो बिदेशी मुलुक हो, १ बर्षवास दियो। Philippines हुनेछ, तेस्रो जहाँ म कुनै कार्यक्रममा भाग लिन गएको थिएँ, २००६ को जनवरीमा। मैले पाईला हालेको मध्ये प्रिथ्विको सव-से पुर्वको जमिन। अनि चर्चा हुनेछ UAE जहाँ मैले France जाने क्रममा विसाएको थिएँ। France को चर्चा हुनेछ लगत्तै। France जसले मलाई मेरो दोस्रो डिग्रिको लागि क्षात्रव्रित्ति दिएर बोलाएको छ, उसको भु-भागमा; मैले घुमेको पहिलो युरोपियन देश। अन्तमा Italy, जहाँ मै आफैं घुम्न जाने बिचार गरेर निस्किन लाग्दैछु। मानव विकास क्रमको शुरुवात पनि यहींवाट भएको थियो भन्ने गरिन्छ।

The moon symbolises that the Nepalese are soothing and calm, while the sun symbolises fierce resolve. The moon also symbolises the shades and the cool weather of the Himlayas whereas, the sun symbolises the hotness and the high temperature at the lower part (Tarai) of Nepal.

The flag of Finland, also called Siniristilippu (Blue Cross Flag), dates from the beginning of the 20th century, and is ultimately modelled on the Danish flag, the Dannebrog. It features a blue Nordic cross on a white background. Blue represents lakes and the sky, and white represents snow and the white nights of the Finnish summer. The state flag has a coat of arms in the centre, but is otherwise identical to the civil flag. The swallow-tailed state flag is used by the military. The presidential standard is identical to the swallow-tailed state flag but also has in its upper left corner the Cross of Liberty after the Order of the Cross of Liberty, which has the President of Finland as its Grand Master.
- Thailand (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flag_of_Thailand)
The flag of Thailand shows five horizontal stripes in the colours red, white, blue, white and red, with the middle blue stripe being twice as wide as each of the other four. The three colours red-white-blue stand for nation-religion-king, an unofficial motto of Thailand. The flag was adopted on 28 October 1917. The Thai name for the flag is ธงไตรรงค์ (Thong Trairong), which simply means tricolour flag.
- Philippines (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flag_of_Philippines)
The flag is horizontally divided into two fundamental colors, royal blue and scarlet red, with a white equilateral triangle based at the hoist side. At the center of the triangle is a golden yellow sun with eight primary rays, each containing three individual rays, and at each corner of the triangle is a five-pointed golden yellow star. The flag is displayed with the blue field on top in time of peace, and with the red field on top in time of war.
According to official sources, the white triangle stands for equality and fraternity; the blue field for peace, truth and justice; and the red field for patriotism and valor. The eight primary rays of the sun represent the first eight provinces (Batangas, Bulacan, Cavite, Laguna, Manila, Nueva Ecija, Pampanga, and Tarlac) that sought independence from Spain and were placed under martial law by the Spaniards at the start of the Philippine Revolution in 1896. The three stars represent the three major geographical divisions of the country: Luzon, the Visayas, and Mindanao.

The first entity to use the Italian flag was the Cispadane Republic in 1796, after Napoleon's army crossed Italy. During this time, many small republics based on the Jacobian model, were formed and almost all used the French tricolour with different colours. The colours chosen by the Cispadane Republic were red and white, the colours of the Flag of Milan, and green which was the colour of the uniform of the Lombard Legion
