In case you guys missed it it was supposed to be a piece on KPB. But Bijaya Kumar ended up writing about himself, pushing his own ideas, and lest someone attacks his ideas, he is creating a shield on the like of his professor at Berkeley. This is what it is. This analysis is as hollow as it gets.

Bijaya Kumar had early phase in his life, when he was a hollow, publicity seeking man. Then he morphed into a good thinker. He , I have heard, stopped drinking alcohol and frequented spiritual places. Sometimes I wonder if all that was a front for his desire to preach from a saintly pedestal he is trying to create for himself. Actors, I admit, tend to act all the way to Aryaghat.

I admire Bijaya Kumar for several of his reporting, and despite his flaws, he has a potential. But I was put off by his article on KPB. Who gives a fu(k about Berkeley or Harvard or JNU that people in Nepal seem to make reference to every time they have a chance. Just put the ideas and substances.
