TITTLE TATTLE

Tittle Tattle

Those of us who know Capt. Kundan Giri find him casual, careful and even comical (at least on the ground). Once airborne and in the cockpit, Tattler discovered his otherside -- careful, confident and commanding. What an air of difference up there, down under!

That the Speaker and some of the so-called responsible MP’s should take a foreign junket while an important session is on at home, is nothing but ridiculous. Alas! The nation has to cope with such leaders whose priorities are thoroughly mixed up.

Many enjoy columnist Pratyoush Onta’s writings. Nevertheless, columnists have to rigorously and routinely meet deadlines, fill space (and their pockets). The drawback in doing so can lead at times to lose objectivity in their writings. Example his recent column entitled Two Nepali English Publications.

 Tattler enjoyed its own original joke - if you really detest somebody, just give the person a PR job that deals exclusively with the Nepali government officials. Work with them before you understand this.

Like it says only the wearer knows where the shoe pinches, columnists, sitting on a perch and with no worry when the next edition of a newspaper is going to be published from, should not comment on the difficulties a real publisher faces. If   “media critics” were good journalists, then they would be journalists, wouldn’t they?
