Smart ass cops and IT

I’ve an interesting ‘Gajab cha baa’ moment to share folks. Its IT related, sort of. This dates back don’t know when. Apparently this colleague of mine was pursuing his merry business one fine morning in his motorbike. All of a sudden these policemen stop him for a check. It happened to be ‘sankat kaal’. The maoist were rampant everywhere. Our quiet friend was carrying a few books on programming languages and one of them happened to be on PHP. This smart ass cop pulls the book (red in color with yellow PHP text on it) out and looks as if he’s trying to make sense. The other cop standing by quickly makes a remark,”PHP lekya cha…k ho yo..PracHanda Path ho ki kya ho…..k ho bhai ..daari saari paalya cha …mao baadi ho ki kya ho”….then the first police adds…”raato cha kitaab pani….”. The poor programmer quickly replies,”Yo ta computer ko kitaap ho sir”, …..the cops shout in unison flicking the pages of the book over,”khoi computer ko kitaab bhanya hoina ta….euta pani computer ko chitra chaina”.........”utri bike bata….tero ramro sanga jaanch garna paryo….”.

Spare a thought what the situation have been like.

My Future Wife

One day I went to a future teller

Ragged old man this

Was a wily little fate seller


Lined up were all beings

Students, grooms and businessmen

Eager to know their upcoming things


Enter did I, so curiously

Told was I to sit on the floor

Gaze he did at me very feverishly


Chanting away he let it flow

My past and my future

The scars, the wins he let all glow


He told my wife would be from the north

The family, the education and the house

He said all facts back and forth


Upbeat and flattered soul

How relieving? How interesting?

How wonderful to foresee my goal


Went I the other day to the town she lived

Waited all morning to see

The moment when she finally arrived


Nothing short of a princess she was

All graceful, hot and trendy

Oh my goodness so very perfect she was


I followed her the next few days

Who she met? What did she do?

And I gathered all her ways


But this day she was with this man

She was all wrapped up in him

Utterly horrified I was lost for a plan


I just couldn’t believe the scene

But she was meant for me, I muttered

I couldn’t even intervene


Devastated of my vivid prospect

This untimely tragedy hurt so bad

Completely deserted I lost all the respect


Of these shifty no-good fortune tellers

For he let my future wife loose

I sorrowfully discovered they are mere money dwellers

NO RAJYA NO KHAS-KHAS

If Prithvi Narayan Shah were here now he would have said Nepal is a common bhool-bari of 5 parties (Maoists, communists, congress, forum, raa-pra-paa) and 14 rajyas (ethnic states). I am khas (Aryan) by origin and live in the proposed Newa state. We are just at the proposal stage of these states so let’s not feel all is lost yet. The million dollar question is what will happen next after this has been approved. Is this the inauguration of another civil confrontation that we’ve been watching all over the world in recline? Or is it just another tool to divide and rule? I beg for your answers my racial friends! I couldn’t tell just a few years back how many in the class were limbus, how many chetris or how many madhisez. Do we want our children to be able to make a distinction? The demons need to be stopped. I don’t want to be said that I have a pointed nose and hairy chin therefore I should go live in an XYZ state.
