Mailadai, My understanding of Ashu is summarized in my prediction, on the record in Sajha, that he will metamorph into a republican on the eve of the establishment of the republic of Nepal. Let me add this bet as well. If he proved me wrong, I will never ever pronounce the world 'republic' in my life again ! We will start to see Ashu softening as soon as we start to see the signals that the monarch is giving up. I am not calling Ashu a rat, but I sure am looking forward to seeing him join the group of rats leaving the sinking ship when it's time comes. Ashu is still hard to the core as he has revealed above that he is still hanging on the hope that the monarch might bring a rabbit (translates: trump card) out of his crown. By the way, Ashu is not alone in hoping to see a rabbit out of Gyanendra's crown. I am seeing even some ghagdan liberal democrats doing the same, although they don't seem to know exactly what kind of rabbit are they expecting.
