Load Shedding 101


It's exactly 6:06pm. What happened? Load shedding should have started @ 6pm sharp. Somebody call the NEA (Nepal Electricity-FREE A-holes).

Just like Sugar-FREE! Instead of saying we have no electricity, it would be civilized to say we are 'Electricity-FREE'.

While everything else runs on Nepali time (which is always +1:45 of English time), the NEA load shedding schedule is always right on time. And who said our government folks were lazy? Let us not go into this 'water rich ... no lights' irritating theory.


Load shedding... more than 45 hours a week. Yippee! No, I am not smoking Manali ko hash.

Thanks to NEA, every winter ... Nepalese families eat, whine and laugh together. Why spend big bucks going out for a candlelit dinner? Why spend countless hours watching dumb Hindi serials? Let us go back to the good old days, when life was more peaceful, less hectic and stuff were affordable!

Well, everyone seems to have inverter these days.

According to the Kukhurachor Guptachar Bivag (KGB): The NEA and these inverter dealers are sleeping with each other. Not literally, of course but these two gangs are working together to leave us 'dancing in the dark'. Do you prefer Akon or 'The Boss' when u r dancing in the dark?

The best thing about Nepal: There is no dearth of conspiracy theories. A brand new day and a new conspiracy theory pops up from nowhere. It's like teenage pimples. But I am as old as Bilbo Baggins and still trying to fend off the pesky pimples.

1998: 90% of the folks believed that...
Gyanendra = Prachanda.

2008: 90% of the same folks now believe that....
Prachanda = __________ [?]

? = fill in the blank, depending on your party affiliation.

WTF: Miss Nepal... feel sorry for them! Just change the name like our Russian friends. How about Miss Constitution or Miss New Nepal! The first goes to Miss Universe, the second goes to Miss World and the third... Cyber Sansar!

Acronym of the day: SPAM = Seven Party Alliance + Maoists! There are many types of SPAM. From e-mail to luncheon meat and of course, Monty Python!

But now, we have more than 36 political parties. What should we call them if we put them all in one big baal-teen [bucket]?

Nid wyf yn y swyddfa ar hyn o bryd. Anfonwch unrhyw waith i'w gyfieithu!

What does this mean? It's Welsh for : "I am not in the office at the moment. Please send any work to be translated."
