Tittle Tattle
Thank God we are in the new millennium and no hitches took place, both in the
celebrations and also in our computers. But wait, the great Bill Gates is saying Y2K could
still be there till the end of February! While we here in Nepal may be able to laugh off
this threat, others elsewhere will still have to be on tenterhooks. After all, the father
of the computer world himself has said so, isn’t it?

From viewing the last sunset of the past
Century from picturesque Nagarkot to popping a champagne near mammoth Mt. Everest,
Nepalese too thought of unique ways to welcome the new millennium. But apart from the well
heeled few in Kathmandu, most other fellow countrymen must have been snuggling inside
their warm beds before the clock chimed eight. For comfort, they can always say we are 56
years into such a new millennium, right? |
