Happy Bijaya greetings to noted Nepal's ugly faces!

N.P.UPADHYAYA

I for one can guarantee about myself that I am a kind soul (self praise is no recommendation indeed!) if otherwise proved by any competent court of law. What also could be said of me is that at least there is one week for me which I more often than not utilize in sending signals to those for whom I generally do not have good words that there is a kind soul in me even if I grill them the whole year through my modest newspaper.

In fact this special week comes every year at the time of festivals. Normally I write or say pray the Almighty in this special week for the prosperity, good health and happiness of those who have tentatively made this nation a bankrupt one through their performance either being in the bureaucracy, ministry or business sector. Hence I claim that I have remained neutral even to these corrupts whose performances have added to the plights of the teeming millions.

In effect the national population must remain indebted to these great-souls who spared no efforts in bringing the nation to this state from where, God forbid me, even the God can't bring it back to the original track. When I talk of the original track, I mean the track or the state wherefrom Nepal's today's leaders had taken over the charge of the nation from the leaders of the erstwhile regime. When I talk about the leaders of the erstwhile regime, I wish to send greetings to them all as well as it were these people who mercilessly ruled the nation for all along thirty years. Thanks to their collective efforts that the nation then got infected with Tuberculosis, which began eating up the economic, social and political stamina of the nation.

The 1990 movement changed the faces of the men who wished to rule us again. Thanks that the collective efforts of the new set of "democrats" that the already bankrupt nation began counting its last breathe. Thanks the sagacity of the democratic leaders of today's Nepal that they did not "kill" the nation altogether. They could have done so but they didn't do that perhaps they wished to further squeeze the "economic stamina" of the nation for their personal benefits.

The leaders looted the nation; the bureaucrats created ugly scenes; the parliamentarians maintained an all-time record and they did so "democratically". All in the name of democracy.

Perhaps Nepal is the single country in the globe wherein even acts of corruption are done "constitutionally and democratically". Other democratic nations can follow suit.

To cut it short, I wish to extend my heartfelt greetings on the auspicious occasion of Bijaya Dashami to all those whom I hate in effect for their kind contribution in making this nation a bankrupt one. My best wishes goes to all the ministers, leaders, bureaucrats and the men seated in "'unconstitutional power centers" whose collective efforts perhaps prompted the King to intervene.

May Goddess Durga Bhavani offer these "corrupt" ugly souls the needed courage so that they could exploit the nation with added energy and vigor in the future. After all, even a corrupt Nepali is a Nepali citizen and how can I minimize their ever-upping prestige, which they have acquired in the recent years albeit through unfair and foul means.

Lastly, the CIAA authorities too deserve my words of greetings for their total inability in fixing the rest of the corrupts.

I wish them all a very happy Bijaya Greetings. Go on flourishing even if it were at the cost of mother Nepal.
