I used to visit this site regularly. He did the great job by updating then situation in Nepal. I really appreciate his hard work and dedication during the time of uprising. I wish he made lots of money by dontions and advertising cause he did work hard. Undoubtly, he became popular and made many friends and foes. As time passed by, I was annoyed by his way of commenting about King and palace. Allow me to say it first, I am not a Royalist and for Royalist. He was trying to make every small news, even the kings family matter ( one blog about King's daughter's physical abuse by her husband), a big deal. Ofcourse he can write whatever he likes, i am not against that. I simply posted my view about his way of writing and few suggestion. The next day, my posting was gone. It was clear that he was trying to dictate the posting of readers. His way continued and I was furious because i could never post in his site again. Sometimes, it was deleted after 15 minutes of posting. You guys must have seen him posting the URL's of the people who critisized him. I still remember, once he posted " The person who donated $5 is trying to threaten me", how childish. I certaily not expect him to throw his myth against Maoists cause u have to have BIG BALLS to do so in Nepal. Frankly speaking, I am not gutsy enough to do so. May be I am coward or may be I love my life n family. All they know is violence and i am not used to it. If this Umesh won't write against Maoists, thats his choice but the way he is trying to potraying himself as great "Ganatantrabadi", he sucks. If a certain royalist punch him, i will not be surprised cause he has been asking for that. Finally, I still appreciate his hard done efforts but as a blogger and as a journalist (so what called), he is freaking immature.
