I didn't support King's move because I think of the King so highly or I see him as Lord Vishnu's Incarnation. I supported King's move because 1. I really didn't have any other choice 2. The other options were worse. Who would I support? The Maoists? who are on such a blind rampage that they have lost the focus of their operation, "People's Government for the People." The other end, the multiparty democracy was so inept, we were better off without them.

But now, my only hope is shaking. Not because of my biggest fear coming true, the King putting the face of Kaddafi, Hussein or Castro; but King's plan, or lack thereof, seeming very weak.

Nepal is an independent nation, with dependencies to every single powerful countries. I cannot see us winning this civil war without external help and bigger problem is that the King is not doing anything about it. King has to let go of his ego and take on more diplomatic face; Countries will support him..didn't they support Mushorrof?

Instead of working towards gaining respect and support of the citizens, the administration is working hard to make the matter worse by violating every possible human rights. The much publicized arrests of journalists, leaders and massacre of civilians will only create a turmoil in already chaotic situation.

I would hope that my leader would've come up with a better plan than this. From a person who has taken such a drastic step, more preparation should've been warranted. Hopefully the king will take some positive actions in days to come.
Still hopeful.

Very honest reflections, indeed! Appreciate your thoughts, although, I did not raise my expectations.
DWI, many have harbored similar hopes that KIng G might suddenly metamorph into Ashoka the peaceful, great samrat from Ashoka the bloodthirsty warrrior.

Prachanda path versus Gyanandra path, one is better than the other...?!

Star,
As Counting Crows said, "Hope still lingers on.."
It sure seems like Gyanendra Rajmarg is more practical (at this time) than Prachandra freeway. Too man potholes in the latter, while few speed bumps in the former.

A Poet is not reqiured to post a disclaimer with his poems. There is a thing called poetic license which probably derives from the fact that poets do not necessarily write for others and what they write are often self reflections.

So with this non-disclaiming disclaimer, let me post this not very old ghazal from one of the old threads somewhere . . .

Nepe

Naboli basaun ki bhanyaa, chittai bujhena.

Disclaimer: No disclaimer.

Naya itiiihas korna naulo majja, chakhaun ki bhani maile ni kalamma masi thape 1 thopa
Naulo itihaasko panama pani feri uhi purano Jaduko kalpanik chhadi nai dekhe!

Nepe,
Above muktak has to be one of the best one written on this subject. Really refreshing, although I still don't know what Muraddaf is.
2 line maile nai jodne dhrishtata gareko chhu, uhi subject ma:

Niyolna khojein bhitra dekhi, Kelayein kati pana maile
Angalna khojda wastawiqta lai, Chapauna nasakne Kasaar dekhein.

Thanks DWI, for a priceless compliment.

'मुरद्दफ' चाँहि गजलको भेद सम्बन्धी प्राविधिक शब्द थियो, पाठकहरुलाई 'गजलको ज्ञाता हुँ' भनेर सिरानमै प्रभावित पार्ने हेतुले थुपुक्क राखिदिएको- लाज पचाएर भन्ने हो भने ।

'गजल मुरद्दफ' को माने 'रदिफवाला गजल' हो । माथिको गजलमा 'देखें' भन्ने दोहरिईरहने शब्द यस गजलको रदिफ हो । रदिफ बेगरको गजललाई 'गैरमुरद्दफ' भनिन्छ ।

चार पँक्तिको mini-ghazal लाई मुक्तक भनिन्छ । मुक्तक चाही उर्दुमा 'रुबाई' भनेर चिनिन्छ ।
