Thita thiti ho, This Ramprasad Khanal, the chatukar number one, also runs NTV?s Lok Dohari program and immediately after Gyane?s Ashojtantra, he released a ghor stutibadi lok dohari album, the song being sth like ? neta le bigare yo desh, rajtantra nai chahinchh hamro Nepalma?? and guess what? Well, the chakadibaz got gorkhadakshinbahu (no exclamation mark here, you know that this is the tradition in Nepal). I?m surprised that Sahabir Thapa did not mention Paras?s 'poignant poetry'. Soon after his declaration as the crown prince (i don't remember the date, but, it was on one of those Fridays reminiscent of that bloody Fridya, the Narayanhiti Hatyakanda) , it was published in Nepali newspapers that Paras had written a poem, and how good a poet he was?blah, blah. Nepali Times even had a front page article about Paras?s 'poignant poetry'. (you can find out that issue in Nepali Times archive on its site). Now if he?s eliminated, I?m sure there will be some chakadibaz sahityakars who will write articles with titles like ? Kabi Paras Saha ka kabitaharu ma prayukta saundaryasastra? and again do not be surprised if that taluwa chatuwa stutilekhak gets Gorkhadakshinbahu.
