Ashu,
The ball is in your court as ngorkaji rightly reminded you. I don't understand why you are throwing it to unsuspecting Kunda Dixit and Gunaraj Luintels' courts and running away.
A single word from you would do. Answer it in YES or NO. Did you take on the King in your stand up at Patan Dhoka ?
I am 99% sure that you did not.
Basis ? First of all, I have listened to a part of your presentation (the audio clip you provided). Second, I have seen your monarchy-friendly views in Sajha almost on a daily basis for past 4 years (!). Third, I have seen how your political bias gets in to your art work. Do you remember our fight over 'I want my NTV' ? This piece of humor too was monarchy friendly.
If you are disparate to show that you can write monarchy-unfriendly humor too, don't turn me to Dixit or Luintel, instead turn to me, I can help you.
Your humor piece on Krishna Pahadi, 'In clear Conscience', in Nepali Times was a monarchy-unfriendly piece of some sort.
I said humor because, although it was published as a 'Strictly Business' column, the content of the piece is such that it becomes a piece of humor when placed in a Business section. When I first read it, I was wondering how come this piece fitted into the business section. Then I thought it must be the editor's sense of humor.
