As usual, Nepe is WRONG. On both counts: He writes: "when Kunda will most likely be standing up anyway at the podium to deliver the speech !" Check the photo below (source: PKB's blog: Kunda is sitting down.) Kunda is actually sitting down "while delivering the speech" [In other photos, he is standing to converse with others.] ***** Nepe writes: "it was Ashu's monarchy-friendly stand up at Patan Dhoka that had left me unquenched and hence this enthusiasm for Kunda's humor." Again, Nepe, with ZERO evidence, tries to paint me in a wrong manner. Was Nepe there in the audience at Patan Dhoka? No. Did Nepe read the Kantipur report (of 2 April 2004) of my half-hour long Nepali-English stand-up comedy that made fun of, among others, the Palace, the parties and the Maoists? No. Since I don't have that Kantipur report myself at this time (though I will scan it and post it when I get it from Nepal), here's what I suggest Nepe to do in the meantime. Get in touch with Guna Raj Luitel at Kantipur Publications, and ask him what the content of my then satire was. Guna Raj, who wrote that Kantipur report might be able to tell Nepe waht is what. The truth, Nepe, might be different from what you wish to believe. The question is: Can you handle it WITH FAIRNESS? oohi ashu
