TITTLE TATTLE

Tittle Tattle

Utter chaos marred last  Sunday’s AGM of the country’s biggest hotel -- Hyatt Regency. The scene was very much similar to the ones we often witness in our House proceedings -- gheroes, mike-snatching, wrecking public property and plenty of scuffles. How easily and quickly we learn bad things, first?

The birth of so-called ‘internal refugees’ problem resulting from Maoists terrorism is a very serious problem alright. Providing the refugees with dal-bhat for a day or two is no solution when hungry. Instead of providing them with fish, rather the refugees must be taught to catch fish. Certainly, this is a more lasting solution. Agree?

Talking ill of a person well known for his kindness and honesty, to a fellow passenger on a plane! Well! Does not reflect well on the backbiter himself and there are plenty to talk for the good person. Are you listening, active talker?

Is it a mini adventure to wait in the down pour while waiting to receive your near and dear ones at the airport? The place does not even have a shelter for those waiting!! So can we really call it an “international standard” airport?

Granted, it is a resort and far from the valley. But why charge the earth for a simple lunch? The charge for four for a lunch would easily feed eight in the valley! Price for holidays, presumably! Or is it long distance fees?

Who is who? No, we are not talking of the well known and famous, but of the persons labelled by the local media as either a crook or a hero. Different papers seem to give different labels to the same person, depending on whether he is a friend or a foe - political, financial or favour wise. Tattler is ashamed to admit, corruption seems there in the media too, Ke garney.
