Come lets play a game! The game: HIT THE POT! The pot is still there, it has been there for years and will still remain there….. The hitters were different, the hitters are different and the hitters will be different….. Still…. the rule remains the same….. "who can hit the pot…blindfolded……?" ************************************** The 'power' pot of Nepal has always been there, unchallanged and sovereign The hitters have been the kings, the leaders, the rulers and the beaureacrats They all follow the same rule……. Until it is theri turn to 'hit the pot' , they shout, cheer, oppose and swear……with their open eyes… And….. As soon as their turn comes, they become blindfolded again…. and start trying to hit the pot…….. swinging their club in all directions… without any aim, without ambition , without any sense… Blindfolded……. Yet, There in the outer circle evry time this game has been played….. seated are millions of spectators…..the people of Nepal…… We The Nepalese…… Entertainment is all we want……the entertainment of 'hit the pot game…' We enjoy the game everytime like never before and…… cheer, swear, kill, murder, sweat, cry, shout and dance….like animals but… never in our mind have we thought Of playing the game by ourselves….. not blindfolded But…with our open eyes…. then….getting hold of the swinging pot….not breaking it and…..pouring the fruits inside and to divide equally among all of us…. yes..the fruit of absolute democracy….the fruit of patience Lets play the game now….before it is too late
