Last week the Telegraph weekly received an interesting email ( place of origin unknown) which is being printed for the readers of this newspaper.

Dear editor here is one interesting piece, worth printing stuff in your publication

Gates: Welcome to United States! You must have heard of Windows 98.

Bhattarai: Oh yes! Most of the govt. offices in Nepal have the single window clearance concept.

Gates: Have you installed windows 98 at your home?

Bhattarai: Yes, otherwise you would never known when the Maoists jump into your bed with Khukuris.

Gates: (confused) Then what is the system you operate on?

Bhattarai: Operation? I had a hernia operation last month and we have a multiparty system, and we like to rule by a single party.

Gates: I hope the Internet is being used a lot in Nepal.

Bhattarai: Oh yes! But in Nepal we use Enter-Net, not Internet. Due to lack of garbage dumping sites, mosquitoes are increasing. So many people sleep under the net.

Gates: By the year 2000 Nepal should import computer chips.

Bhattarai: We are already exporting potato chips and Uncle chips, so we do not need that.

Gates: What kind of CPU do you have?

Bhattarai: We do not have any CPU, but CPN. We have a lot of CPNs (Communist Party of Nepal)And we also have GPK (Girija Pd Koirala), that is solely hasslemaker to me.

Gates: What is the size of your hard disk?

Bhattarai: What? The size of my hard disk! Hare Ram yo American le ke ke sodhna sakeko hola (He murmured in Nepali)!!!

Gates: I have no energy left, let us go out and have a bite.

Bhattarai: Bite? I do not bite. I believe in peace. Only my policemen in Nepal believe in bite, hit and shoot. You know how brave they are to kill Maoists! Amnesty International-folks told me that Nepal is on the top of their list in human and hu-women hunting records. I read Geeta and believe in non-violence.
