CK Lal's 'Helpless, hapless, hopeless' (#285) has just expressed in perfect words what I could only scream in my own head. Unless these major political parties come to their senses (which they have not so far even now) as CK Lal has nicely explained we as helpless Nepalis have nothing to hope for. Even if the Chairman came to terms with them (wishful thinking), without their own conscience awakening and perhaps within party cleansing, I really don't see any outlet to the current impasse.
