You misunderstood me, Bhusan. Yes, I want my personal suffering to be shared by others in Kathmandu too. I want those who encouraged the Maoists in the first place to pay in some way. It is not like we didn't know there were Maoists victims, there were, those in media who saw Chiluwal being killed in broad daylight went gaga over Prachanda at his first appearance (still remember Rishi Dhamala's introduction of Prachanda in sonorous voice).Doggoneit, Bhusan, you need to understand that I am looking around to rally after a bona fide hero. Perhaps the wife of Birendra Sah, but she doesn't have intellectual firepower to lead the movement. But even when they become victim, I have hard time rallying around the intellectual class of Kathmandu who had long ago made a deal with the Maoists, hobnobbed with the Maoist Goebbles and found justification for Maoists agenda.

Arresting the YCL goons who attacked Himal is a solution in patchwork. At this moment, I don't know what to do. I feel for Himal, but what keeps on coming in my background is this fact: afterall, their property loss is not more than 1 lakh, and a few of them got a few mudki. It doesn't shock me as much as it does to others. A man I used to eat khaja/beer with was beaten, and he passed away being paralysed for three years. Not one single news about him ever made a headline in KTM, eventhough he was a headmaster, much beloved, of his students.I am looking to hear the answer of this question: do we have a solution that spans the country? do we have a plan that works not only for Himal or KTM based firms but everyone in the country? Do we?
