According to the National Statistics Office's ground-breaking Internal Tourism Survey, Nepalis spent a mind-boggling 459 billion rupees on travel in a single year. Let that sink in. We consistently complain that the economy is collapsing, yet we collectively dropped enough cash on holidays to fund a small space program. Domestic overnight trips swallowed 304 billion rupees, while single-day escapes drained another 91 billion rupees.

A hundred days ago, the dusty corridors of Singha Durbar experienced a terrifying anomaly: the smell of fear. The traditional political syndicates, who had spent decades treating Nepal’s treasury like a personal inheritance, suddenly found themselves staring down the barrel of a Gen Z revolution. Armed with millions of popular votes and 182 seats, Prime Minister Balendra (Balen) Shah marched into office like a true Gorkhali warrior ready to hack corruption at its very roots.

On June 27, 2026, Sunmaya Budha did something entirely inconvenient for the Nepali sports establishment: she won. She didn’t just survive the grueling, bone-crushing 120-kilometer Lavaredo Ultra Trail in Italy; she absolutely shattered it.

It seems this 48-team jamboree has officially driven football fans past the brink of sanity. We are witnessing a World Cup of unprecedented setbacks, where traditional titans crumble and FIFA prepares to make more money in a single edition than it accumulated over the past century. The formula is pure genius. Take massive American stadiums built for American football—you know, the game where athletes wear pads, helmets, microphones, and headphones just to run for five seconds—and stuff them with 80,000 to 100,000 screaming folks

Finally, the monsoon has triumphantly marched into Nepal, promising a relentless deluge that will make us question our life choices for the next few months. As the heavens open, our collective gaze turns to our main man, Sudan Gurung, and his Home Ministry wallahs. We are filled with a bizarre, almost delusional sense of hope that they are actually prepared to handle the inevitable trifecta of landslides, floods, and terrifying bus accidents.

In the grand, dusty theater of Nepali politics, the curtains are rising once again on a show that everyone has seen a dozen times, yet somehow, nobody can stop watching. KP Sharma Oli and Pushpa Kamal Dahal, those eternal titans of ideological gymnastics, are currently choreographing a "fresh alignment" that feels less like a political necessity and more like a desperate tango performed on a sinking ship.

Four years since its explosive debut, the Rastriya Swatantra Party (RSP) has finally graduated from being a glorified fan club for Rabi Lamichhane into an entity with actual institutional legitimacy. Gone are the days of winging it; now, they have elected officials to blame when things inevitably hit the fan.

FIFA is like a pickpocket complaining that someone else is stealing his target’s wallet. They want to ensure that the same local goons who have been driving Nepali football into a ditch continue to do so, uninterrupted by pesky democratic accountability. It’s a protection racket, and honestly, the sheer audacity of it is almost impressive.

After all, when you’ve served as Finance Minister five times, plus a scenic tour of the Defence, Home, and Energy ministries, one eventually learns how to "manage" the national coffers right into one's own private vault. It’s not corruption, dear citizens; it’s high-level wealth redistribution, with a heavy emphasis on the "redistribution" to his own pockets.

The Rashtriya Swatantra Party (RSP) has officially double-downed on its commitment to keeping Rabi Lamichhane as the Supreme Commander, and frankly, the silence from the frustrated haters is deafening. To those betting on a messy divorce in the so-called Rabi-Balen political marriage of convenience, you might as well pack your bags and head back to the drawing board.

The Great Messi continues to redefine the limits of the sport, recently breaking the all-time FIFA World Cup goal record with 18 goals. His consistency on the world stage remains unparalleled, as he dominates matches with the kind of tactical precision that turns games into his own personal highlight reels. If he maintains this blistering pace throughout the tournament, he is on track to add several more to his tally, setting a benchmark that will likely remain untouched for decades.

The first day of the Rastriya Swatantra Party (RSP) General Convention was a delightful reminder that while the country might be changing, our "old school" chor netas (crooked leaders) remain remarkably consistent in their ability to talk absolute nonsense. It’s like watching a horror movie where the ghosts keep popping up, except these ghosts are wearing expensive daura suruwal and pretending they haven’t been haunting our economy for decades.
