TITTLE TATTLE


Tittle Tattle

Would you like to send your child to school in a school bus that is left at the mercy of the speed crazy bus driver? One such speeding bus zig-zagging the road was spotted recently in Pulchowk area. The number was Ba.A. 1777. Wake up school authorities and make sure precious lives are not at risk of over speeding and careless driving.

Why do even five star bakeries pass off pasty, sickly white breads with brown crusts as ‘brown breads’? Brown does not mean colour, silly, it is whole wheat bread, our own Ganhu or pitho.

***

Tattler liked this joke, “we are on a sea food diet. We eat what we see” - does not sound unfamiliar, does it?

***

Democracy Day was celebrated with the routine speech giving and formal dos that the nation has been seeing for the last fifty years. But sincerely speaking, is this all that the nation can do for the ultimate sacrifice of these brave men? Tattler hopes, not only the leaders, but also the people seriously mull over this fact before we dare to utter the word democracy.

Observing the way Minister Purna Bahadur Khadka has been acting when the security people under him are facing so much hardship and tragedy, he should be given the job of an undertaker, not Home Minister!
