महाभियोग प्रकरण एक महिना लम्बिएहुन्थ्यो, कम्तीमा भ्रष्ट नेता, तस्कर, विचौलिया, माफिया, हण्डीवाज र पुराना मण्डलेको नयाँ आवरण देखिने थियो ।— Hari Bahadur Thapa (@Haribthapa) October 21, 2016
डाकेसीले विकृति विसंगती तानाशाही भ्रष्टाचार माफियाकरण नबोली सुतेरै ढाले। न बन्दुक चाहियो, न १०बर्ष लाग्यो, न त एक प्राणी नै मारियो #respect— PHALANO™ (@phalano) April 2, 2015

एमाले र माओवादी केन्द्रका सांसदहरूले अख्तियारप्रमुख विरुद्ध महाअभियोग प्रस्तावको पहल गरे। अब कांग्रेसका सांसदले पारित गराउन पहल गर्नुपर्छ।— Nilamber Acharya (@nilacharya) October 21, 2016

एउटा ज्यादै कुहिएको माछाका कारण सिंगो मुलुक दुर्गन्धित बनेको छ, त्यो ‘माछा’ फाल्ने जिम्मेवारी पाएका राजनीतिकर्मीहरु ‘रमाउनु’ दुर्भाग्य ।— Hari Bahadur Thapa (@Haribthapa) September 28, 2016
त्याे 'सार्क माछाे' कुहिएको जस्तै त्यसलाई फाल्नुपर्नेहरु मध्ये पनि धेरै भित्रभित्रै कुहिसकेका छन् 'डल्फिनजस्ता' देखिने 'तिखादाँते सार्कहरु'। https://t.co/bIIIbpcBc0— Sunil Paudel (@sunilreflects) September 28, 2016

मे महिनामा फिलिपिन्सको राष्ट्रपतिमा रोड्रिगो दुतेर्ते निर्वाचित भएपछि यही सेप्टेम्बर ५ सम्म २४०० भन्दा बढी अर्थात् दैनिक ३७ जनाको हाराहारीमा फिलिपिनी नागरिकहरु कथित लागू पदार्थ विरोधी अभियानका कारण मारिइरहेका छन् । इजिप्टमा देशको अखण्डता नै गुम्ने गरी साउदी अरेबियालाई तिरान र सानाफिर नामक दुई इजिप्टेली टापूहरु दिने सिसी सरकारको निर्णयको विरोध गर्नेहरुलाई दुई वर्ष जेल सजाय तोकिएको छ। थाइल्याण्ड, टर्की र बंगलादेशजस्ता कुनै बेला लोकतन्त्रको राम्रै अभ्यास गरेका मुलुकहरुमा अहिले राज्यले नागरिकलाई अकारण जेल हाल्नु, कडा सजायँ दिनु वा बेपत्ता पार्नु सामान्य भएका छन् भने सरकार आफैंले चाहिं राज्यका विभिन्न तहमा आफ्नो नियन्त्रण गुमाइरहेको छ र सशस्त्र अतिवादी वा आतंककारीहरुले त्यो खाली ठाउँ भरिरहेका छन् । नेपाललाई त्यस दिशामा जानबाट रोक्ने हाम्रो मौका यही हो ।

To the anti-corruption crusaders still weighing their options from the sideline: Please come to public and say at least something. If you find this whole movement and the discourse irrelevant to the cause of good governance, please say that. Even if you think the movement is needless or counterproductive, say that; we are committed democrats and we won't pounce upon you like the other side. If you think our movement has a huge potential but has been unable to gain momentum because of some factor, point to it and we'll try our best to rectify it. If you think, a stronger CIAA under Karki is the only route to corruption-free Nepal, then accumulate strength, cover your face and say that; and join the cause to undo the damage done to the credibility of Karki by our movement.
Some time ago it was reported that the CIAA was planning to brief the foreign envoys about what it was feeling like briefing. There has been no news so far that the briefing has indeed taken place.
"It is alleged that you believe in swindling and plain thuggery and have an inborn contempt towards anything intellectual. They also bring many examples to argue that you have a vicious disdain for anything sophisticated and academic. They say your revulsion against intellectuals, and your paranoia towards and fear of free thinking and dissent was behind your ferocious assault on University Officials and other intellectuals most of whom were later cleared of charges by the court (cases of others are pending in the court but are expected to follow the same fate). They say this, particularly your shameless assault against dissent, is part of your grandiose project to revert Nepal to some form of authoritarianism. Your response?"
जीवनमा अफ्ठ्यारा घुम्तीहरुमा हिंडिरहँदा मैले कुनै क्षणमा पलायनलाई एउटा विकल्पको रुपमा कल्पना गरेको थिएँ, त्यसलाई यथार्थमा बदल्ने आँट गरिनँ, त्यो बेग्लै कुरा हो । त्यसबेला लाग्थ्योः मेरा समग्र दुखहरुको कारण मेरो वरपरको वातावरण हो, यसबाट साहसपूर्वक बाहिरिएँ भने नयाँ दुख आउलान् तर तत्क्षणका दुरुह दुखहरु गायब भएर जानेछन् । कति गलत थिएँ म !

I do not know why I often tend to view people rather grimly: they usually are not as benevolent, well-intentioned and capable or strong as they appear to be. This assumption is founded on my own self-assessment, though I don’t have a clue as to whether it is justifiable to generalize an observation made in one individual. This being the fact, my views of writers as ‘capable’ people are not that encouraging: I tend to see them as people who intend to create really great and world-changing writings but most of the times end up producing parochial pieces. Also, given the fact that the society where we grow and learn is full of dishonesty, treachery, deceit and above else, mundanity, it is rather unrealistic to expect an entirely reinvigorating work of writing from every other person who scribbles words in paper.
Somebody has said: “I was born intelligent but education ruined me”. I was born a mere child, as everyone is, and grew up as an ordinary teenager eventually landing up in youth and then adulthood. The extent to which formal education helped me to learn about the world may be debatable but it definitely did not ruin me. There were, however, things that nearly ruined me. There came moments when I contemplated some difficult choices. And there came and passed periods when I underwent through an apparently everlasting spell of agony. There came bends in life from which it was very tempting to move straight ahead instead of following the zigzag course.
