texan and chameli, Not a political pundit ever, I prefer not replying to threads which disseminate hatred and malice rather than reaching out for a solution. Most of the Nepalese people, including me, always believe what we want to believe....period.We shut our ears to rational discussions and valid arguments that would help us get past the myopia of what lies ahead. Hrithik Roshan issue was a malignant political stunt which paid off very well...very well to demagouges in beguiling public. I was a victim of that stunt which was surprisingly in accord to the then democratic leaders, outlaws and ignorants. This is a political stunt which pays off well again.....the deceased in Kalanki (may he rest in peace, but that was his call) will soon be forgotten by madhav Nepal and Girija Koirala just like we forgot Pamfa devi and Lauda air issues. lokenda bahadur from diktel and shyam gurung from Banglung will return home happy after the leaders once again vanquish monarchy....only to criticize about the screwed up democratic system a year from now. The metamorphosis is same, we have witnessed it before, and I feel no pain or guilt or happiness in what is happening at the moment, we are repeating history again, this is all so much in the norm. Not looking for any altercation....just my two pennies.
