Aama Gone Rogue

Remember when we were all bursting with pride? Sushila Karki, our first female Chief Justice! We thought we’d finally found a David in a sari to take down the Goliaths in Daura Suruwal. After retirement, she started naming names—exposing the karods of cash offered by our dirty old netas to turn the Supreme Court into a recruitment center for their jholeys. We were swooning.

Then came the Gen Z protests. She stood tall, essentially calling for then-PM Oli’s head on a platter for the tragedy of school kids. When the country was a tinderbox, and Balen (in a rare moment of "I’m too busy fixing drainage") handed her the keys to Baluwatar, she became our "Aama."

But as the saying goes: You either die a hero, or you live long enough to see yourself become the "Silly" version.


The Nature of ‘Aama’s’ Nepotism

Aama did a decent job holding the country together for the elections, but then the "Old Guard" fever kicked in. On her way out, she suddenly decided that her personal assistant was the most qualified person in Nepal to lead nature conservation. Because, clearly, carrying a briefcase prepares you for saving the snow leopard.

She then tried to hand-pick the Home Minister for the National Assembly. Half her fans vanished faster than a government promised budget. It turns out, "Aama" wasn’t just protecting the nest; she was decorating it with perks for her favorites.


The ‘Silly Sushila’ Tantrums

Now, she’s entered her "Silly" era. When the Constitutional Council picked a CJ candidate who wasn't Sapana Malla Pradhan, she went ballistic, calling it an "attack on all women."

Hold your horses, Aama.

It wasn't an attack on women; it was an attack on the mili-juli "setting" that has plagued our courts for decades. Funny how she forgot that she once approved nearly a hundred judge appointments during after-hours. If that’s not being part of the "system," then I’m the King of Mustang.

She even told a journalist to call Balen’s wife "Aama" now. The bitterness is palpable. It seems our former PM is still nursing a grudge because Balen gave her PA a termination letter. Welcome to the Balen Era, where your "connections" are as useful as a solar lamp in a cave.


The OG Hijackers and the Oxford Dictionary

We shouldn't be surprised. She’s the same generation as Oli and Deuba—the "We Know Best" club who view youth as juvenile delinquents. Let’s not forget her "democrat" roots. Her husband was on the team that hijacked a plane for Rs 30 lakhs INR. They were the OG Maobadis before it was cool. Maybe she needs to buy an Oxford English Dictionary to look up the word "Democracy," because her version looks a lot like "My Way or the Highway."


The Pensioner’s Protest

If she’s truly the revolutionary she claims to be on her morning walks, why the perks? She returned one vehicle but kept the other. Why did she sit on the Karki Commission report until after the elections when she was PM?

Aama has officially joined the Whiners’ Club, chaired by Harka Sampang. If you're so pissed at the new guard, return the security, return the cars, and go for a walk with Miraj Dhungana. You’ve got a fat pension and a nice house—maybe it’s time to enjoy the garden and leave the nation-building to people who don't treat the state like a private inheritance.

Jai Nepal!
