Recalling King Mahendra

BABBLES

By Babbler

Ramesh is known as a revolutionary singer. In an interview, he opined that those who are hungry, they eat much. This applies to the Nepali communists. He contributed a lot to bring the rule of the people but found nothing else except loottantra in the country. He apprised King Mahendra’s contribution saying that the King, during a very short period, had done much for the nation! Today’s reality!

When does the train start rolling?

Morning shows the day. How inefficient is our government, that can be assumed from the delay in the business operation of the rail which has been stock in Janakpur for more than one and a half years!

Every day, the rail rolls without passengers spending diesel and waiting for a formal inauguration date to operate the passenger service. Is there a need for a formal inauguration to provide service to the passenger?

Nepalis are happy

Every year, the livelihood of Nepali citizens is becoming difficult. Though, according to a UN survey, Nepalis are the happiest people among the people from the South Asian nations. What a surprise! Maybe, the census had taken with the political leaders as politics is the flourishing business in Nepal and politicians are the happiest creatures in Nepal.

According to a report, the teachers are quitting their job to join politics as they saw it as a lucrative business!

If you need to go to the government offices!

A cartoon has become much viral this week. The cartoon speaks that if needed to give trouble to anybody, one should pray for the person receiving service from the government offices.

If you have to renew your driving license, please wake up at midnight and stand in a queue waiting for your turn. After completing one process, you have to go to another line and the same process will continue for several days.

If you need to get a passport, please stand up in the queue for the whole night to get your turn the next day!

The same applies to other government offices providing service to the commoners.

Loottantra

The election Commission gets a chance to loot the government coffer only during the election season. This is the election season and the Commission has called tender for printing works from the private press. The Commission has a newly purchased automatic printing machine but according to the Commission spokesperson, the machine is out of order and needed millions of rupees to repair. Therefore, it has decided to print necessary documents in the private press.

This is an example of loot, however, it is tolerable as the Commission gets such a chance only during the elections. For many offices, every day is a sweet day!

Nepal is an agricultural country

Nepal is still an agricultural country but the country, in the past seven months of the present fiscal year, has imported above 50 billion rupees worth of food items from foreign countries.

 

Quotes of the Week

 * ‘Nepal’ is the happiest country in South Asia! What is the measure of happiness? Why are Nepalis happy? Didn’t you measure the laughter of depression with happiness?

Manisha Koirala

  • Prakash Saput need not have bowed down and changed the video that has been uploaded on Youtube. The ‘decade long bloodshed’ triggered by Maoists was a mistake of Nepali history. They will have to accept it as such today or tomorrow by both sides: those who went on bloodshed and those who pushed them there.

Mahabir Paudyal

  • Apart from the election symbol ‘sun’ received on bonus and the interest of old age allowance distributed from the state treasury, does UML have any agenda to go to the polls? One day when the people understand that the only objective of all parties is to plunder the country, then it is not good to come with any sign.

Poorna Kashyap

 * Dangerous precedence has been established. If the future also, anytime, those officials holding constitutional positions may face impeachment from the political leaders without any reason.

That’s how ‘anarchy’ happens.

Bindesh Dahal

 * I am also responsible for my country being in this situation today. I could not choose the right leadership, I could not distinguish between bad and wrong. I did nothing for the country.

Niranjan Thapa

  • The international relations expert in India must be looking at Nepal and asking themselves what went wrong in Nepal that its politics is being shaped by US and China!

Probably taking out Monarchy in coordination with the US was the biggest foreign policy failure of India in Nepal where they had absolutely no civilizational sense of looking in Nepal

Ujjwal Uprety

  • Right after the Chinese foreign minister’s visit, a huge US delegation is arriving in Nepal

Anil Giri

  • As per Sonia-Shyam Sharan doctrine of 2005, by bringing Noida Maoists to power and sweeping aside Nepal’s monarchy and Hindu identity, Mughlanis simultaneously swept away the much-vaunted “age-old Nepal-India ties”. Sad Babudom’s self-goal damage that Modi/BJP seem unable to repair!

 Dipak Gyawali

 * I am alive just to listen to it:

The partisan division in the temple also! The priests from NC and UML will share the post turn by turn!
