Dedicated to Daniel Pearl

Eventually, King Gyanendra will have to leave the palace, his position and become a common citizen in a month period in Nepal. We can’t say anything except pitying him as he never honored Nepalese people’s aspirations for freedom and demcracy. Unfortunately, he put an end to the 240-year old institution. It is caused by his own deeds. Therefore, majority Nepalese people have no regret for him to leave the palace rather they want him to soon do so.

With the completion of the Constituent Assembly election and the Election Commission making public its final result, the political parties in Nepal are scheduled to sit for a grand assembly. According to the constitutional provision, the parties are supposed to sit for the assembly in next three weeks. And soon the assembly takes place, it will formalize the decision of declaring Nepal a republican state and will abolish monarchy once and for all.
I can’t read the king’s mind what he is thinking or doing these days. But the rumors around are that he is planning to resume his business. He was a businessman before he became the king following the assasination of his brother King Birendra. Even if he resumes his business, I don’t see any better days for him because people will despise him all the time. He failed to win the heart of Nepalese people. They just hate him and especially his son Paras who has earned notorieity for gambling, boozing and beating people.

Anyway, I wish him good luck and say last goodbye!
