I dont know why tintotopi is being very humble while being cynical/satirical.(his/her last paragraphs prove this). But please remember i am not calling anyone bad/calling the pageant unworthy.

How about a source from maoists write/say the same thing.? or a press release from them stating such....Whatever you wrote has no authenticity, no sources where it came from, no recorded conversations/pictures makes me feel like the conversation never happened. I am not ready to believe a few things stated.

Sorry for being analytical but I am sure the Maoists want Nepal to have a better representation in the international arena as well. I am not saying i support maoists or anything. But seems to me like some pageant is round the corner, and this thread is to avoid bad publicity.

I just checked Hidden Treasure's website, and I swear to God a fifth grade English teacher can correct the grammatical mistakes there. How about finding the hidden mistakes first rather than treasures? I agree with ekal on this one, how about education? No miss Nepal the lady with the crown has travelled across Nepal volunteering at rural schools/teaching women/kids about health, HIV, prostitution and all that that exist among Nepali people. Almost all pageants like this across the globe give tution aids/scholarships for people that participate, why do the organizers themselves not encourage education among participants?

For seventh year in a row, Dabur Vatika is the corporate sponsor for the event. In case you didnt know its who makes Dabur Honey and Chyawanprash and shampoo and all that using Nepali herbs and now has factories all over Nepal. Its primary industries are India based and owned. So, my question is can you actually call it Nepali and a sole- Nepali event?

I am just writing this long thread because we just blame whoever without reading the whole thing, esto le usto garyo falano le yo garyo dhiskano esto. Its better to think twice before you drop the "f' word on someone,and with attitude like yours, I don't know- you could never have a crown on your head.
