Cups Galore: Nepal’s Love Affair with Tournaments Named After Everyone
In Nepal, it seems like you can’t swing a cricket bat without hitting a cup named after a high-profile figure. Seriously, it’s like Oprah’s giving away these tournaments: “You get a cup! And you get a cup! Everybody gets a cup!”
First up, the PM Cup. It’s not just a trophy; it’s a political statement with shin guards. You can almost hear the players saying, “We’re not just scoring goals; we’re scoring policy points!”
Then there’s the President Cup. I guess if you’re the President, having a tournament named after you is just part of the job description, right? Let’s hope the matches are as exciting as a presidential speech.
And oh, the KP Oli Cup! It’s like they thought, “Why let just PM and Prez have all the fun? Let’s throw in a political party leader for good measure.” I mean, why not? Maybe the next tournament will be the “Local Grocery Store Owner Cup” – sponsored by potatoes and onions.
Don’t forget the TU Vice Chancellor Cup. It’s where academia meets athletics. I can only imagine the half-time show involves a thesis defense.
But here’s the kicker – despite this plethora of patriotically named tournaments, Nepal is yet to bag a big win internationally. It’s like we’re so busy rolling out the red carpet for these local tournaments that we forgot to pack the suitcase for global domination.
So, what’s the deal? Maybe we need a ‘Wake Up and Smell the Coffee Cup’ to perk up our international game. Because at the end of the day, while it’s great to have a trophy cabinet that reads like a VIP guest list, what we really need is a win that puts Nepal on the global sports map.
Until then, let’s raise our Coffee Guff Cup to the spirit of sports in Nepal – where everyone’s a winner, at least in the name game. Cheers! 🏆🎉

Melamchi’s Water Works: A Saga of Splashes and Dashes
In a turn of events that could rival a soap opera, Kathmandu’s Melamchi Water Supply Project is back in action, albeit with more stops and starts than a city bus. Prime Minister Dahal, in a move as symbolic as it is repetitive, inaugurated (again!) the project that’s been 23 years in the making. Residents might be forgiven for wondering if the water’s flow is as reliable as the monsoon or just another trickle in the long saga of “now you see it, now you don’t.” From flood-induced pauses to headwork relocations, Melamchi’s journey to quench Kathmandu’s thirst is turning out to be more twisty than the city’s alleys. Here’s to hoping the taps keep running longer than the inauguration speeches! 🚰💧🔄

Tootle Tale: A Ride-Sharing Rollercoaster in Nepal! ☕️🛵
Picture this: Nepal’s streets, bustling and vibrant, and there’s Shikshit Bhatt zipping through on a mission. He’s not just dodging traffic; he’s pioneering Nepal’s very first ride-sharing venture, Tootle. Think Uber but with more honks and bikes! Launched in 2017, Tootle became the go-to app for snagging a ride on a motorcycle, making carpooling look like yesterday’s news.
Fast forward a bit, and our plot thickens. Bhatt, the Tootle titan, finds himself in a pickle, not the tasty kind. The big boys at Mandala Digital Holdings, who had poured cash into Tootle, accused Bhatt of playing a game of Monopoly with Tootle. They say he sold the company right under their noses and cha-chinged his way to the bank. Spoiler: The police got involved, and Bhatt got a free ride to the station – but not on a Tootle bike.
Plot twist! Bhatt’s out on bail faster than you can say ‘Tootle By Zapp’ – the rebranded version of the app that’s now under new management. It’s like Tootle got a makeover and decided to Zapp through the streets instead.
Meanwhile, back at the investigation HQ, the cops are still connecting the dots. Bhatt’s playing the innocent card, while Mandala’s directors, including the elusive Dipt Shah, are probably sipping tea, wondering what’s next in this Tootle telenovela.
So, there you have it – the Tootle saga, a story of tech, intrigue, and maybe a few too many twists and turns. Stay tuned to see if Tootle zaps back or if it’s the end of the road for Nepal’s ride-sharing revolution. 🛵💨

Sandeep Lamichhane’s Conviction: A Twitter Soap Opera of Misplaced Sympathies
In a plot twist worthy of a prime-time soap opera, Sandeep Lamichhane, once a shining star in the cricket world, has now been cast in the role of a convicted criminal. Sentenced to 8 years for rape, he’s traded his cricket bat for a prison jumpsuit. But wait, the drama doesn’t end there. Enter Twitter, the stage where every opinion, however misguided, gets a spotlight.
A chunk of Twitter’s male populace, in a display of sympathy as misplaced as left socks in a right-footed world, are rallying behind Lamichhane. “Gaushala-26,” a pseudonym to protect the victim’s identity, has become a character in their narrative, villainized for – wait for it – “getting raped because she wanted it”. Because, in their script, this should not be a crime.
In a twist that surprises absolutely no one, some keyboard warriors have taken it upon themselves to play detective, revealing the victim’s identity. Because why respect privacy when you can play an amateur Sherlock Holmes, right? Others are painting her as a blackmailer targeting a ‘celebrity’, because in their world, fame apparently makes you immune to accountability.
This saga isn’t just about Lamichhane and his fall from grace; it’s a revealing look at the mindset of some Nepali men on Twitter. Spoiler alert: it’s not the knight-in-shining-armor type. It’s more of a ‘blame-the-victim, sympathize-with-the-perpetrator’ flavor, with a side of conspiracy theories.
So here we are, witnessing a social media melodrama where the victim is scrutinized more than the convicted, and sympathy is doled out based on fame, not facts. It’s a script so poorly written, not even the best director could save it.
But hey, let’s just call it what it is: a sad, revealing testament to the skewed moral compass of some. The curtain’s down, but the questions remain: When will empathy trump ego? When will justice be served without a side of victim-blaming? Stay tuned, or better yet, let’s change the channel.

Nose Goes: The Perilous Pluck of Public Persona
In the hallowed halls of parliament, where laws are made and fates are decided, it seems the temptation to embark on an olfactory excavation can strike at the most inopportune moments. Yes, dear readers, even the nimble fingers of lawmakers are not immune to the siren call of the nasal cavity. Such was the case with one lawmaker, caught in the act of what some Twitter optimists might call ‘adjusting her nose jewelry’. Others, with a keener eye for detail, might describe the scene as a deep-sea diving expedition into the nostril reefs.
This candid capture of personal hygiene has caused quite the stir, and it begs the question: When should public figures take a moment to ‘pick’ their battles? It’s a tricky situation, indeed. On one hand, the call of the wild nose itch is as human as it gets. On the other, the unforgiving gaze of the public eye (and camera lenses) never blinks.
Let’s face it: the unwritten rules of nose-gardening etiquette strictly state that one should avoid harvesting the booger blooms in public, especially when the cameras are rolling and the eyes of the nation are upon you.
