It is never too late. Quick, what does Mr. Appa Sherpa have in common with the soon-to-be Prime Minister of Nepal Mr. Madhav Kumar Nepal? Right you are; Mr. Sherpa also didn’t win any seats in the CA election last year. Yet, it is Mr. Nepal who has not accomplished anything for our country (we all were in the jana-andolans) since joining politics decades ago who gets to become the second Prime Minister of the Republic of Nepal and not Mr Sherpa who like Mr. Nepal didn’t win squat in the CA election, but unlike the Prime Minister designate, has successfully scaled all of Mount Everest a staggering 19 times!

I don’t see why Mr. Sherpa shouldn’t be the Prime Minster of our country when Mr. Nepal is deemed eligible to be one. For the umpteenth time, I blame Mr. Pushpa Kamal Dahal. Why? Read this, people.

Congratulations are in order for Mr. Sherpa and his team for accomplishing this unimaginable-by-mortals feat and it didn’t come easy. On the face of adversity that Mr. Nepal or anyone else who hasn’t scaled Mt. Everest, and there aren’t many, cannot even begin to imagine, Mr. Sherpa braved it all and reached the summit. The least Mr. Madhav Kumar Nepal can do is call Mr. Sherpa and offer him the Baluwatar residence; and while he’s at it, he ought to also offer Mr. Sherpa the Prime Ministership of our republic.

I know it’s not in Mr. Nepal’s discretion to offer Mr. Sherpa the position of Prime Minister, but this is Nepal, where anything is possible. Well, anything that doesn’t amount to much, but anything, nonetheless. Would you be surprised if Mr. Nepal’s bhanja babu got to head his non-existent ‘computer operations’ department? Exactly! So why can’t Mr. Sherpa be the Prime Minister of Nepal?

The most entertaining fact of Mr. Nepal taking the helm of this government – he is backed up by what, like fifty parties? Okay it’s twenty-one, but who is counting? Twenty-one parties to form a government – are you listening Guinness? Did I mention he has Mr. Girija Prasad Koirala’s blessing as well? That’s saying something. Look at what happened to Mr. Pushpa Kamal Dahal, the one with all the majority in the world but also the one who got hit like a piñata by Mr. Koirala’s politicking.

Mr. Nepal, congratulations to you for finally bagging the coveted position of the Prime Minister of Nepal. At nepa.li, all we ask of you is to sustain the peace process, get on top of this constitution writing process (wait, you always were Mr. Chairman of the Constitutional Committee), get that Nepal Development Forum meeting going, act as per the constitution, and for heaven’s sakes do something about the inevitable soon-to-be-coming Nepal Bandhas. If you can’t get any of these done, we will be more than happy to provide you with the great Mr. Appa Sherpa’s number.
