Some of the questions reportedly asked during the one-hour interview. 1. When trees are cut down, how do they do photosynthesis to sustain themselves? 2. When there's a total eclipse of the sun, can living things survive for long? 3. What colour is your parachute, and why is that of that colour? [Do you even have a parachute to use just in case the landing gets tough?] 4. Freedom of press or freedom to press -- freely choose one of the two options and give reasons as to why you chose the latter. 5. How old were you in the heydays of Panchayat, and why were you that old? If you were not born during that time, explain why. 6. Between Tulsi Giri and KN Bista, they have more than a hundred years of political experience. Do you have any comments? Say something nice. 7. Name the children and the grandsons of KN Bista, and say what their favorite colors are. 8. Do the same for T Giri. 9. "Terrorism must be defeated. You published reports that struck terror in people's heart, and that's why you are here in front of the police." You must be defeated. Now, nod your head up and down 10 times to indicate that you agree with this statement. Do ten sit-ups and 20 push-ups and shout "kukhuri-kaa" 10 times. 10. Say hello to Hanuman over there near the Dhoka. And sing that song "dhoka, dhoka, dhoka" from the Hindi movie "murder" with appropriately synschronized hip-swinging gestures. OK, this one-hour ko interrogation time is up. You may go. Don't write or publish anything thast harms the interests of this interesting nation that extracts interests from all. Next time, the censors will have you singing "Rangeela Ray . . ." from here to Makkhan to Ason to Bhotahity --- naked. *********** oohi ashu
