Isoalted Freak जीले मुटु माथी ढुङ्गा राखी भन्नुभोः ''Hate to write this, but you sound very childish when you make such outlandish claims/remarks:'' I am bemused to see Isolated Freak replying to a 'childish remark'. यसमा भन्दा बढि के भनौ, हैन त ? It's not only you who have complained me of being childish. As time passes, those who really think newuser's performance in sajha as childish, will gradually see substance in his logic.I know, at times I have argued with some childish commentators very unnecessarily but at the same time I know that I F doesn't think newuser a child from his inner self. अब मेरो विश्वास गलत हुन नि के बेर ? :P Coming to my points that drew your attention, सत्य कुरा तितो हुन्छ हैन र ? To be honest, I have always tried to study the demeanour of some very educated intellectuals who make subtle defence of King's autocratic moves while lodging grave allegations against the political leaders. Mind you, I do not mean to I F (or Ashu) by this, there are few more in or around my periphery, probably with much more recognition but taking the same line as you do. Overlooking King's mistakes but taking every chance to lambast the politicians. For eg, they commend the King's anti-corruption rhetoric. But when I ask them about the detention of Narahari Acharya and Nawaraj SUbedi (who is regarded by many as the cleanest MP in Nepal's parliamentary history), they never answer my question, forget about answering them satisfactorily. When T Giri's Loan heroics is raised in the discussion, they are blindfolded! Now, as I very sincerely like to see those intellectuals (including you) joining pro-democratic alliance, thinking that their efficiency could be an asset for a democracy, I have tried to find the reasons that impede them from criticising even a single authoritirian move by the King. In almost every case, I have found that their family roots are associated with 'purana panchas'. I don't mean here that all purana panchas are bad, but they are loyal to the King. I am not sure, if you qualify to this category or not but my instinct says that I F has some links with the 'darbariyas'. Prove me wrong and I will salute you. धेरै लेखेर यहाँको समय किन खेर फालौ र ? म शितल निवासको 4416001- 24 संग बेला बेलामा सम्पर्कमा रहन्छु। त्यहाँका (केहि) शाखामा हुने अधिकृत, उपसचिव र त्यसमाथीका नियुक्ति सरुवा बढुवासंग हुँदो न खाँदोको update हुन मन लाग्छ मलाई। यसमा कुनै गहन कारण छैन केवल कुन डेस्कमा अहिले कसले काम गरेकोहोला भन्ने जिज्ञासा मेट्न मात्रै। त्यसोत त्यहाँ feb 1पछि सम्पर्क गर्न भ्याएको छैन। जेहोस यसो गरौ न त , हामी दुई जनाले परिचय साटौं- केवल आधिकारिक नाम मात्र, अरु पर्दैन। राजाले शासन केहि वर्ष टिकाएमा अनि हेरौं शितल निवासमा हुने नियुक्ति/हेरफेरहरुलाई। मैले आफैले आफैलाई सोध्ने गरेको छु - Isolated Freak जस्तो विदेश मामिलाको विद्वान प्रजातान्त्रिक प्रणालीमा पनि त शितल निवास भित्र अटाउन सक्छ, अनि किन उ राजाका अप्रजातान्त्रिक कदमहरुलाई देखेको नदेख्यै गर्न चाहन्छ ? के उसले पारिवारिक पहुँचबाट अलग भएर आफ्नो क्षमताका भरमा करिअर निर्माण गर्न सक्दैन र? सक्छ तर सजिलो बाटो हुँदाहुँदै किन अप्ठ्यारो बाटो हिंड्ने हैन त? Again, this is pure speculations. I might be totally wrong but you have got the time to prove me wrong. If you did, I will accept that my aforementioned comments were childish indeed. ल त आजलाई यति नै. BTW Meyer को The Dust of Empire पढिरहेको छु। Thanks for your referrel. प्राज्ञ भन्दा पत्रकारका किताबहरु रमाइला भएजस्तो लाग्छ. Interesting reading so far. I am a novice on IA. Suggest me some more books pls.
