Hello HahooGuru, one of the "hasits" of gbnc. I have always admired your writing. Thanx for replying to my posting. Your quote “Kasaile Suman Dhakal mardiye huntho usko thau ogatna bhanema mitra Suman lai kati chot lagla?” seems to imply that I was wishing for king Birendra's death. This could not be any further from the truth. Also in my posting I have not said that he deserved such a death or whether he was a good or a bad king. He may very well have been a good father, a good husband and a good human being. I have no second opinion on that. All I am saying is that since he has already passed away, why look at his death in a negative way. Why not in a positive light? Is that so wrong Mr. HahooGuru? My attempt was simply to probe the brighter side. Of course it hurts me too see another fellow human get killed like that. But we have to move on. His death should not mean the end of the world. That is what I mean by “kalo gaye goro aucha”. Yes he was our king, so what? Kings come and go Mr. HahooGuru. His death may very well be the beginning of an end of the shah dynasty. Maybe this marks the beginning of a new era. A better era for Nepal. Is it so wrong for me to hope for such an outcome? Is that being cold hearted? Also u wrote “suman ji jasto sochai ka chhora bho bhane budho chadhai marera thikai bho sampatti khana paiyo bhanna ta hunna ni as a social man like Suman ji.” I have never said or even implied such a point mitra HahooGuru. Actually, you have made it easier for me to get across my point by stating the above quote. Maybe the “budho” was not well managing his sampati. Maybe he could have done better. Which does not mean that I was wishing for his death. And if that sampati can be well managed under someone else’s management, is it so wrong of me to say that the budho’s death opened a door for a new beginning. A new mangement under which the sampati could now be used more efficiently. And this is exactly my point mitra Guru. PS. Also mitra Guru, he was the KING. "with great power comes great responsibility" asy they say in Spiderman. Thus it should not totally shock anyone when I anylize king Birnedra's death in such a manner. Since he was held to such higher standards, he also most certainly be ready to recive such "harsh" judgement for he was no ordinary Nepali. Suman Dhakal
