read e-kantipur apology here.

story with a typically nepalese twist to the last detail! don't tell me the apology was false as well!
-lie as well as a liar involved, although it is a moot point which one came first!
-media house blithely ignorant about the veracity of the story until someone raised a red flag!
-audience lapped it up (i must say not all! people voiced concerns, including some in sajha).
-lying is a way of life for a lot of folks back home

disclaimer: this doesn’t mean there aren’t good people in Nepal either.
