CEO Ji,


 


Thank you so much for your guarded yet kind words to me and for your general interest about my views and position.


 


I am an ordinary average Joe when it comes to the resources I have and how I live my life. However, there are few things I have been careful to keep intact against all pressure, temptation and odds. Thanks to my political disillusion at a very early age and other lucky happenstances and learning. They say power is the ultimate aphrodisiac. So If I got sold out in future, it would not be any wonder. However what I have now is already working as an aphrodisiac for me. So I am really hopeful that I am not going to be a sell-out, at least not very cheaply, anytime soon.


 


As for my pre-Jana-andolan views and stuff, I would like to invite you to one posting that I had posted some 5 years ago here in Sajha as a reply to Ashu’s questioning about republicanism at that time.


 


This is a must read piece for all those who are interested to know all about my political views, at least the way of my reasoning.


 


WHY REPUBLICANISM FOR NEPAL

 As a motivation, I can perhaps tell the story that I have an impressive list of people who said the piece made a deep impact on their thinking about republicanism. And for honesty’s sake, I must also admit that I have also a frustrating list of otherwise very thoughtful people who were not influenced by the piece until republic actually came.


 


Hope you will have patience to at least browse some random lines in the piece.


 


best,


Nepe
