Good Morning
In the middle of bulldozer ballets and financial diets, the Jacaranda trees have decided to bloom, turning our dusty roads into a purple paradise. Major roads from Durbar Marg to Satdobato are currently draped in vibrant blossoms, making the capital look more like a painting and less like a construction site.
Good Morning
Prime Minister Balendra Shah has officially announced he won’t be taking any foreign trips for a year, probably because he realized how much he’d miss the Kathmandu dust. He is also ignoring foreign diplomats’ DMs, insisting everything go through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs like a very strict group chat admin.
Good Morning
On the Baisakh full moon, the Nepali diaspora from Queens to Reading gathered in community halls to enthusiastically dance the Sakela Silli, because nothing says "I miss the motherland" like following a YouTube dance tutorial with a bad internet connection.
Good Morning
Parents across Nepal flooded the Ministry of Education with complaints today over what they describe as "extortionate" private school fees. Despite government directives to refund illegal admission and annual charges, many institutions have reportedly refused to comply, leading to a surge of calls to the newly established central help desk
Good Morning
Our VIPs are finally learning how to walk again. The government snatched back 622 vehicles from officials who thought their "access" came with a lifetime supply of state-funded fuel and tires.

Girish has been tapped to perform the 1981 classic "Breaker". To put this in perspective: this isn't just "participating." This is like being invited to a potluck and finding out you’re sharing a table with Rob Halford (Judas Priest) and Kirk Hammett (Metallica).

It seems the primary qualification for being a Communist leader in Nepal is successfully acquiring public land as a sukumbaasi. While the poor struggle, these "comrades" have built four-story villas on the riverbanks. Even a former Maoist Minister saw his permanent bungalow get the bulldozer treatment recently.

ur Supreme Court has finally decided to put an end to the "VVIP Welfare Fund," a legal loophole that allowed our former so-called elites to bill the State for every sneeze and sniffle.
