By: Sajha Post Reporter: From A military bunker at the Narayanhiti. Q: Good Evening, His Majesty. A: It is still afternoon outside. Since we are in a bunker, you probably felt like it is already an evening. Q: Well, may be, but it seems like it is always dark in Nepal these days, for the whole 24 hours. A: Let's fault it for the global warming things. I am a conversationist, and I have directed my government to ratify Kyoto already. Q: The World surely appreciates that, his majesty. A: No mention. Q: Let's dive in to the point. Sajha readers want to know "Just what the hell you were thinking on February 1st?" A: It was a tough decision. Q: Just that? Please elaborate. A: Yes. I mean I love democracy. As you already know there are several types of democracies, but the kind of democracy which allowed me to get as much money as I wanted, as much abhinandan as I wanted, as much power as I wanted with lapdogs like Deuba at the helm was rare to find. It was hard for me. It was like shifting from Nike to Reebok: shoes in deed, but different brands. And it surely pinches. Q:But Tulsi Giri, his majesty, for god's sake, you didn't find anyone here in Nepal? A: I do find people around here. But all of them have their sirname either Shah or Rana. I have to show that I am not running family rule here. Q: That's not correct. You can always steal the Congressis. Even Khadga Oli would have accepted your offer. There are also permanent wellwishers of royalties like Thapas, Kharels, Dixits, Gyawalis, Pandeys. A: OK, Giri knows how to control Congressis, and he knows where to run away in case.. Q: OK, What happened on 1st June, 2001? A: Palace Massacre. Q: I mean, anything different than official version? A: I ain't telling you nothing (with chuckle, and playful bantering). Q: The widespread suspicion that you pulled the trigger, what about that? A: That's rumor. Q: Rumor? A: Just that. Rumor. I am against gun ownership. I don't pull the trigger. Q: About your personal life, are you a gay? A: What? Q: I mean, why is it that you are extremely good looking like an attractive gay suitor, you dress like a woman, and furthermore, you keep company of a masculine person like Sharad Chandra Shah? A: No comment. Sharad is my steadfast supporter since time immemorial. Q: Any actress you fancy? A:Jean Harlow. Q: Jean Harlow, for god's sake, we are in 21st century. She is a passe. Uma Thurman is way classy. Or Catherine Zeta jones. A: I long for the time that has long passed by.I love the past with all its glory. I live in the past. I adore the past. They say the time started 15 billion years ago with the big bang. I believe they moved forward for enough, and it is high time, they move back to the big bang. I am contributing what I can. Q: Thank you his majesty. Any message to sajha? A: I won't censor you guys.But be aware of my people!:-) Q:
