Mr. Bam Dev was visiting our local "District Development Committee" office with our friends from UK. A British mantri is in town and our folks are busy kissing his arse. Well, they must have really done their job well because the Belayati folks have promised us billions of Rupees!
But why the #$@! do you need to close the road? We were gently asked by our 'Nepali' Cops to stop our bike and take another route. 'The Minister is coming'... and so we were asked to take a detour!
I think it would be much better if we ask the British to give us 30+ helicopters so that we can ferry our political leaders straight to Singha Durbar rather than creating traffic problems on our already congested KTM streets!
Can we afford it? Yes, We Can! RNAC has more than 1,800 employees and only one freaking plane. We have more than 170,000+ security folks and our 19,000 PLA brothers and sisters. And we have millions of government employees who are busy with their 'Hata' (Hajir and then TA-TA!).
As long as we keep on begging and our foreign donors keep on giving (of course with strings attached!)... we can afford anything! Our ministers are driving around in gas-guzzling SUVs while we have to wait for hours to fill up our tanks (yes the fuel shortage is back again because our tanker-wallahs don't want to get rid of them old tankers!).
There are two laws in Nepal... one for the ordinary folks like us and one for 'afno mancheys'... and if you are smart then you will stop thinking about changing the system and instead find ways to beat the system!
And there are folks like us .... who don't want to join the system, can't beat the system but just hope that one day, this system will change by itself! But maybe that is just wishful thinking on our part!
