Obama will cash in on success of Operation Osama

Everybody was talking about bin Laden’s death today. At work, while commuting, in the cafe… everywhere where there were more than one person!

Osama vs Obama: A tongue twister

Interestingly, I was re-enlightened with this fact: a single letter makes a  big difference.

While talking about the big news, people were saying (President) Osama announced (al-Qaeda leader) Obama’s death or Osama will win another US election as he wiped out Obama.  It’s not that they  don’t know about difference between the very two persons at odds.

Their tongue slipped, obviously.  The names in fact are similar, except the second letter.

I tweeted this thing hours ago, and wrote Facebook status also. Interestingly, a friend posted a link of a Fox News video on my   status, in which the anchor mistakenly says President Obama is dead, and apologises in no time for the blunder.

With Osama’s death, it’s likely that President Obama will live more in  he office.  Obama certainly will try to cash in on the success of Operation Osama.

By the way, I have a question to President Obama (I double checked the spelling, it’s correct!). Has justice been done to everybody? What about the innocent people who have been killed in Afghanistan and Pakistan during the US operations launched to hunt down the terrorist leader?

 US suspected/knew since 2008 that Osama was living in Abbottabad–which begs the question why the delay? http://is.gd/LtSvHC

Though this question will prevail, hope the world will turn a better place to live without Osama.

झक्कुलाई झापड: Jhakku gets slapped

A nobody has slapped somebody again. And, it’s news. Coincidentally, the subject is another Jha=झ  this time also.

Prem Raj Devkota who runs a small café at a stone’s throw from the Kantipur Publications premises in Tinkune slapped  Maoist lawmaker Jhakku Prasad Subedi twice this afternoon, in what appears to be the expression of frustration over the delay in constitution drafting.

I know this mustachioed gentleman. He is soft, polite and cool. Not violent at all.

I have eaten veg Waiwai prepared by him and drank hot lemon many a time in the evenings when I was with Kantipur till June last year. I have bought chocolates from his shop hundreds of time.

However, he had a different avatar today that by all means is at odds with his characteristics. At least the ones that I as a customer and an acquaintance know. It was not easy for me to believe that this lucid and composed nobody ventured to smack the former guerrilla leader.

But it’s him. No doubt, it’s him who did this. Right now his soft and slow voice is echoing on my ears! And, I have smiles on my face.

Sometimes, Davids take on Goliaths, and also they beat the latter !

Subedi came to the lime light after knocking down the then CPN-UML chairman, Madhav Kumar Nepal, in the Constituent Assembly polls from the Kathmandu Constituency No. 2 three years ago.

And, it’s Devkota’s turn to be popular now. Did he slap Jhakku only to be popular, by the way? Or, was it an impulse? Be that what it may, Subedi is a representative of the common people who struggle everyday for bread and butter. And, his “big subject of the day” is one of the 601 individuals (notwithstanding the fact that there are some seats vacant in the Constituent Assembly)—or, better say the tools of arrogant, selfish, stupid (I can add hundreds of adjectives for them) parties—who have reneged on their words regarding the new constitution and are squabbling for the power and post and  partisan interests instead.

On Janauary 21, one Devi Prasad Regmi had slapped CPN-UML Chairman Jhala Nath Khanal in Itahari in eastern Nepal.
Regmi’s slap turned to be blessing to Khanal as he was elected the prime minister later.

Now, what for this mighty Jhakku who beat the UML heavyweight in the elections? What is for him in stock?
My best wishes to Devkota sahujee! Hope he won’t be in trouble because he did not do what he did today maliciously.
Sabai ko buddhi firos!
