Rekha Thapa offered tika to Maoist Brother Sagar in Bhaitika
Rekha Thapa made headlines when she danced with Maoist chairman Puspa Kamal Dahal (Prachanda) during a protest rally in Kathmandu. She also acting in a movie named Jaljala featured as a maoist combatant.
Now, in the occasion of Tihar, her nearness to the party was evident when she took tika from YCL in-charge Chandra Bahadur Thapa (Sagar).
Rekha however wanted people to believe that the relationship is at the personal level and has nothing to do with her political or professional relationship. This year, her real brother Nawaraj Thapa didn’t come to Kathmandu from Biratnagar. Previous years she used to offer tika to hair designer Lokesh Thapa but this year, he was also not available for tika. So she had made a new brother – Sagar for bhaitika.

Beauty business – Miss Culture, Little Culture, Little Star
The Looks Fashion Homes is going to conduct two beauty contests – one for the kids and another for the grown-up girls. Miss Culture and Little Culture beauty contest will each feature 10 participants.
Little Culture will feature little children in the age group 6 to 12 year-old. Miss Culture will feature 10 girls in the age group of 13-20 years old. There will be 14 different awards in different categories in total. I guess, they will be evenly distributed among the participants.
It is to be noted that the same company had done a contest named Little Star contest. Don’t be surprised if the same company comes up with more contests for other age groups; say, 21-25 and 25-30 and so on.

Poudel defeated 14th time – sole candidate refuses to give-up
There is a single candidate who won’t win and won’t give-up the election. The top leader of Nepali Congress, Ram Chandra Poudel, was defeated for the 14th time in an election held at the parliament on Friday.
Poudel is alone in the race for the post of Prime Minister. Ram Chandra Poudel was left alone in the race when Maoist Chairman, Puspa Kamal Dahal, withdrew his candidacy after realizing the infinite loop the election has fallen into. Poudel is trying to cash in the ‘opportunity’ by not-giving-up the race, that he
is never going to win. In the election vote for Poudel were 96 and 2 were casted against him. Next election will be held after three days.
It is everybody’s guess that the shameful bargaining tactics being practiced by the leaders will have a long-term impact on their political character.
