Bumped into Madan Krishna, August 2013
I hopped along with my mom and her friends yesterday to
watch the show by the popular Madan Krishna & Hari Bansha also known as
Maha Jodi. Anticipating to take a break from my hectic life, I was purely going
there for a laugh. But the show offered so much more than just a laugh with
their satirical jokes towards the political leaders and the plight of Nepal
that really does make you ponder. With my goldfish memory, I picked up some of
these:
- How practical is it for 601 members of Constituent Assembly of Nepal to draft the constitution?
- The wide practice of nepotism in the parliament
- Why won’t American Embassy in Nepal co-operate in the road extension work when the roads in their own country are supersize?
- The intervention of the Home minister in SSP Ramesh Kharel’s (Chief of Kathmandu Metropolitan Police) investigation. Ramesh Kharel has received huge positive response from Nepali citizens for his work on fight against corruption.
- The introduction of MA.PA.SE by DIG Ganesh Raj Rai (Traffic checking rule to prosecute drivers driving over alcohol consumption limit)
- Corruption on all levels of public services
Lastly, I was most touched when the pair portrayed the
existence of caste division. This was done with such subtly which left the
audience to reflect on themselves.
