Shiva's Bday!

Today's Shivaji ko Bday. All the G-lovers (not the spot!) are busy throwing 'Shivaratri' Bash all around town. And didn't know... there will millions of little kids in KTM. Was walking around the neighborhood and little brats were busy manning their checkposts. When we were kids, we usually stopped vehicles but kids these days have resorted to stopping pedestrians as well.

I went on a 15-minute walk and had to pass through 30+ checkposts. It's more easier to talk your way out of the 'Police' checking thing but with kids, it's a different story. They literally grab your feet and won't budge until you cough off something. Thanks to Lord Shiva, I had a packet of Hajmola Paachak, half a packet of 'Spout' chewing gum, a supaari and a single 'mentos' candy and 100 Rupees.

I got home empty-handed... well, one kid even tried to get away with my cigarettes but I had to smack him . Bam Dev should learn a thing or two from these kids. If you really want to stop criminal activities then fire the cops and hire these kids. Okay, we have to worry about child labor issues but we can make them volunteers or something.

Today's Army day as well. Saw a few ads in the newspaper. I think it was the folks who bag the Army contracts. NA hasn't changed much. The Generals make millions. But who doesn't? A friend of mine went to the NEA (No Electricity A-holes) to change his meter. The meter got all burnt out due to overloading.

He had to bribe the guys 5K to get a meter. The Sarkari karmarcharis are the same. Even Prachanda won't be able to do anything. As they say in Amrika, 'if you can't beat 'em then join 'em'... The Maobaadis are no different.

Happy ShivaRatri, Happy Army Day, Happy party to the NEA guys who made 5K in a day... and Congrats to A R Rahman... for bagging two Oscars. Jai Ho!

Now we need to invite Danny Boyle to Kathmandu and Freida Pinto can be a dance bar girl, who really wants to quit her job and be the next Joan of Arc and our Patel bhai can play a son of a Madeshi mobster from Birgunj! And Rajesh Hamal can bitch about it in his blog (?) and maybe it will go on to win another Oscar... Jai Ho! And AR Rahman might convert to Judaism then.

SlumDog was an okay movie but hey if Al Gore can get a Nobel Peace Prize for slide show (& Bush can play 'God' for 8 years!) then anything is possible!
