Peace Out Homie


Nice cape, douche.

Nepal's King Gyanendra was deposed by the democratically elected Maosist party a few months ago and today Gyanendra Shah and his wife Komal will move to a mansion in the suburbs of Kathmandu. I didn't care until a few days ago when I learned that Manisha Koirala actress in some notable Bollywood movies such as; "1942: A Love Story," "Khamoshi: The Musical," and "Gupt: The Hidden Truth," is from Kathmandu so that means that Nepal is officially a part of the Desi community which should be exciting for all of you of Nepali origin. Gyanendra, who's name I am copy and pasting, will have to leave all of his assets for the Maoists to auction off. The former palace of the king which was built in the 1970's will be eventually turned into a museum, but for the time being Gyanendra's step-mother and his father's mistress (I don't know how this works but that's what it says in the report) will be living in fenced off areas on the palace compound which is depressing for them but they will be happy to know that they are desis, or at the very least that we know that they are desis. So there's that.
