Blatter to resign. What now for the Nepali worker in Qatar and where does FIFA go from here?

The resignation news came days after Sepp Blatter won the presidential election for FIFA. FIFA was already in the news last week for several of its members being charged for corruption when the election for the FIFA president was taking place. However, the elections still took place where Mr. Blatter was victorious and was thought to be in charge for the fifth term. The recent resignation, which comes only days after he won the election, creates a suspicion among football fans and those who have been following the recent FIFA's scandle. He said:

Sepp Blatter walks out of the press conference after he delivers his resignation speech.

"I felt compelled to stand for re-election, as I believed that this was the best thing for the organisation. That election is over but FIFA’s challenges are not."

"While I have a mandate from the membership of FIFA, I do not feel that I have a mandate from the entire world of football – the fans, the players, the clubs, the people who live, breathe and love football as much as we all do at FIFA. Therefore, I have decided to lay down my mandate at an extraordinary elective Congress. I will continue to exercise my functions as FIFA President until that election. "

This might explain why he chose to stand in the election in the first place but still cast some doubts among others why the resignation right after the elections.

Along with this resignation, there are some doubts on the world cup that's going to take place in Russia and Qatar. Especially for the Nepalese who have been working under harsh conditions in Qatar, could this be their way out? With the news that the workers aren't being treated properly and some weren't allowed to return home with the recent events of deadly earthquake in Nepal, the new president might have a different perspective of the workers in Qatar. This might be an opportunity to get the attention of the officials about the problems these workers are facing and ways to stop it as soon as possible,

Hopefully the change in regime might help salvage something for the Nepalese workers who already have suffered so much. With the corruption scandal in FIFA being taken seriously, the attention could then be diverted to the thousands of workers in Qatar working under harsh conditions and being treated unfairly. Ultimately, justice might be served.

Revival from the devistation

25/4/2015 - The black day in the the history of Nepal. A 7.8 Richter Scale magnitude earthquake strikes Nepal causing above 8000 casualties and destroying homes, villages, and shattering the hopes of communities. Weaker buildings were falling apart as delicate minds and hearts of people were left numb when news flew across like a wind making you unmovable. The devastation was too hard to handle as the so called "View tower" also know as "Dharhara" was no more standing on its base and destruction of temples at Basantapur Durbar Square and other UNESCO world heritage sites was too hard to handle. In this chaotic situation, what was seen after the quake was unimaginable.

People who survived the first quake were actually helping others trapped. Though it looks a natural behavior of human to help those in need, the help didn't stop there.  A month onward,  help is still there and they are eager than before to get as much help as possible to the affected areas. The unity is what is being seen among the people. In this hard moments, Nepal Police, Armed Police Force, and Nepal Army have played a crucial role in the rescue and recovery process. They have been working day and night to save the lives of those trapped under the rubble. International help has also been vital in these dark days for the homeless and those affected. Where some have criticized the response by the government, Nepalese are using their own sources and means to get the relief supplies in the rural areas  as much as they can.

The lesson to be learnt, no matter how big the earthquake that shattered the normal lives of the Nepalese, we are resolute in defending our home and we will work together to build what we have lost. Forgetting which race we come from, which political party we support, we have to work together as one from now on to rebuild Nepal and that's one of the option to move forward.

Saying at the start of the speech " Those of with an iPhone, place it in silent mode. If you don't have an iPhone please pass it to the center aisle. Apple has world class recycling program."

Cook discusses Jobs' return to Apple in the late '90s, saying, "In 1997 or 1998, Apple had been adrift for years," but that Jobs was "an idealist" who believed he could make the company thrive again with a little optimism and elbow grease. "I met someone who made me question everything, who upended all of my assumptions in the very best way... That was Steve Jobs."

                    "I met someone who made me question everything"

Those 20-minute speech cook reflect some moments about his teenage days where he met both president Jimmy Carter and Alabama Governor George Wallace. This two man's with similar background but they are both from South and Democrats. This helped cook to know about his internal journey in life and how important is it rather than external life passage through his schools, university and jobs.

Cook added more, he was one of the lucky person who is now living in Silicon Valley, where impossible is turns out into the possible. It's special place. No matter problems is how difficult or complex. Back in the 90s, Apple run an advertisement "Think:Different" this helps to people to challenge and change the way we live. Gandhi, Jackie Robinson, Albert Einstein, Miles Davis are peoples who inspire us still. They make us believe anything is possible. So deepest and highest inspiration could be taken from them. This could be one of the best reason behind Apple Engineers to reached on the height of success.
