Now that our generation has successfully messed up this country, it is highly unlikely that we can make it any worse. It is therefore time we thought about passing on the torch, and bequeathing the job to the next generation of Nepalis.
We are placing our trust fully on our young turks. With their energy, their exuberance, their pimples, these disgustingly youthful whippersnappers will surely be able to steer this nation towards a bright future. As Karen Carpenter rightly said: "Tomorrow will be even brighter than today."
I see some skeptical young faces here, and I know that you are itching to ask me a question. You young chaps want to know who Karen Carpenter is. Well, a long, long time ago when sabre-toothed tigers roamed the Danube Basin there lived across the pond a singer by the name of Karen. She and her brother, Richard, had the habit of bursting into song every so often to yodel: "Every shalaalalalalala, every wowowowowo!" and stuff like that. Unfortunately, to cut a long story short, Karen went on a hunger strike and died.
Oh. That was not your question? I see, you just wanted to ask if my confidence in Nepal's youth may be a bit misplaced? I don't think so. I think teenagers today are alert and on-the-ball, and know everything there is to know about, for instance, the Saudi Mid-East Peace Plan. Take my own two progeny. Every day after work, I make my way to home and hearth, open the den door and call cheerfully: "Where is Mother?"
Silence. Progeny #1 is on the Internet and Progeny #2 is on cable.
Me (louder): "Where is your mother, my wife?"
Silence.
Me: (screaming) "ACHTUNG. WO IST MEIN WELTRAUM?"
See what I mean? Children today have taken a vow of silence. If an audible sound does, pechance, emanate from their vocal chords, it is usually a noise resembling "duh" or "yuck". But where today's teenagers, like, come on their own is in cyberspace. Go to any of the chats and you will see that our progeny are sharp-witted and vigilant, taking the patriotic exhortation "jibro hoina hat chalau" very seriously indeed:
