Another test of wills is awaiting the hapless nation. From tomorrow, and for a week more, we'll have to endure MaoBdBoyz Diktat and stay home and eat rice... well if you have any. There are countless thousands in the Valley who live by daily wages - from taxi- and rickshaw- drivers to porters and bus conductors. The low bottom of the social pyramid, supposedly these are the guys the Prachanda brigade is living in the jungles for - and what are they supposed to live on for ENTIRE week?
So I suspect the BANDH will be observed on Sunday seriously, everybody calling on (landlines and post-paid mobiles only!) friends and relatives around the Valley, and when they start to see that the terror is mostly in the mind of the beholder, and driven by empty stomach and desire to see family, the BANDH will start to unravell on Monday. So on Tuesday the MaoBadBoyz will do something, in their twisted eyes, spectacular - set a fire to some intrepid bus, with people inside, just to make statement, just to show how incompetent HMG is.
Just like tonight on the ever-so condescending and Palace-hating KANTIPUR TV the usual suspects: the self-appointed, foreign-financed guardians of Human Rights with straight face postulated and fumigated that it was the Home (Police) Minister, the able Kamal THAPA who through his INTRANSIGENCE has somehow provoked the MaoBadBoyz into attacking and bruning down Tansen!
So I made my preparations - I have hoarded all of 5 l petrol and will start cruising on my BULLET on empty roads tomorrow: no dust and smoke, no TATA buses trying to kill me, wellm maybe MaoBadboyz! Best days for cruising are BANDH days! And they can shoot me, J have lived long enough, and who knows, I might show some hope, and courage to frightened Nepalis!
Jai Nepal!
