Well my few words on the interview. . . I thoroughly enjoyed Rabindra Mishra's impromptu questions pushing Pushpa Dahal to say something concrete. But since their "republic slogan," they have not said, done or acted concretely and sincerely. Oh! apologies. Correction: Save aside the mass murders, mutilation and senseless acts of terrorism. Indeed king has to come within the frame work of constitution and the verdict of Nepalese people has to be respected. It is given. But one thing became evidently clear from his interview, that is, Maoists saying they will respect people's verdict is "hinged" upon people deciding what Maoists already think is right. Aha! Not that I am saying the core belief that 'people' has to be the main power in any system is not right; it is. But what is scary is not what he said, but what he did not. That is, they respect people's verdict as long as it matches with their own. Period! So after all this "bhuichalo" we will be back to square one, or worse. While I am at it, let me as well express my UTMOST disgust on those "GUU khane" so called leaders for making a mockery of Nepal's sovereignty YET AGAIN by their ass licking puppet acts in recent times. Again, we remain stuck between two giant thieves and a one mountainous murderer. Add to that a piranha-esque (in nature) neighbor in the size of a whale. Water indeed appears treacherous. Hmm . . . May god, if not bless Nepal/us; at least do not despise it/us. Astu! IndisGuise :O
