TITTLE TATTLE |
One ministry that is sure to get the axe is the Ministry of Sports, Youth
& Culture. As in yesteryears, Education Ministry will take sports and youth under its
wings and the Tourism Ministry, culture. Wonder if the country’s sporting circle will
take the decision to be a sporty one! *** The 72nd Academy Awards — Hollywood’s biggest show comprised of
winners, losers, wannabes, has-beens or plain no-hopers. That Nepal’s maiden entry
Caravan lost out on Oscar night should not prove to be depressing. The challenge lies in
getting up every time one falls. *** Giving bottles (of drinks) to get news published! My, that could
only happen in this country of Suras (drinks available anywhere and everywhere) and the
perennially intoxicated. Asuras (demons) down under (hell, my dear!) must be having their
last laugh! *** Of late many of our respected columnists have inked their complaints. That their pieces are not taken note of, read nor respected. Tattler wonders who is to be blamed for this? May be it is time that our learned columnists work towards commanding respect, rather than demanding one. |
