  Which one is the taller? I saw this satirical picture in a social media, whoever designed it, must have creative mind. Is not it interesting to see the right side tower higher than the left side real tower? Can we imagine such level and volume of corruption scams in the Federal Republic Nepal where senior leaders of big political parties never get tired of talking about good governance, “Samridh Nepal and Sukhi Nepali”? It remains to be seen whether corrupts involved in these scams will be brought into justice and lawfully punished in the existing federal structure. Can we expect such miracle from the existing political structure and leaders?

Palesha- Many many many congratulation for creating history for Nepal Palesha Goverdhan made history in front of thousands of spectators at the Grand Palais on Friday, 30 August, becoming the first athlete from the mountainous Asian nation to win a medal at the Paralympic Games held in Paris. She faced Serbia’s Marija Micev in the first bronze medal match of the women’s K44 -57kg weight class of Para taekwondo. While it took her only two minutes to find the form that advanced her through to the bronze medal match, she finally found her footing, scoring kick-after-kick in the final minute of the bout against Micev. The scene was one of pure, unbridled jubilation when the hooter sounded to proclaim the end of the match. It was a historic moment for both Goverdhan and Nepal. 👍✌🙏

I hope this Gaijatra comedy staged by renowned artists Manoj Gajurel and Chakra Duwadi will remain to be an eye opener for the senior leaders to avoid looming political upheaval in the nation owing to bad governance, big corruption scams, political hegemony, egoistic politics and political uncertainty. 👍✌🙏😊
