1. Mayor Harka Sampang: The Magician of Dharan
Picture this: Mayor Sampang, the master of civic ceremonies, was performing his dazzling act in front of a captivated audience of residents. But then, from the depths of the crowd, emerged a daring resident, armed with nothing but a question! 🎤🤨
Now, most politicians might choose to answer or, dare we say, ignore such a simple question. But not our Mayor Sampang! Oh no, he's got more tricks up his sleeve than a magician at a kid's birthday party. With a flick of his municipal wand, he summoned... the police! 🚨👮♂️
Yes, you heard it right. Instead of performing the classic "Answer the Question" routine, he decided to dazzle us all with his "Summon the Cops" spectacle. Residents and netizens are now crying foul, but little did they know they were in for a show!
In a democracy, where asking questions is as natural as breathing air, Mayor Sampang has redefined the game. 🗳️💨 Why answer when you can simply abracadabra your way out of it?
Ladies and gentlemen, let this be a lesson that in the world of politics, sometimes, it's all about the showmanship. 🎪🤹♂️
Remember, if you ever find yourself in Dharan, be prepared for a magical experience with Mayor Sampang – where questions disappear faster than a rabbit in a hat! 🐇🎩 #PoliticalPrestidigitation
2. Nepal's G20 Snub: Scaling Mountains, But Not Politics
It seems you need more than melting glaciers to earn a seat at the grown-up table
In the grand global theater of the G20 Summit, where nations flex their economic and political muscles, one Himalayan nation appears to have pulled a vanishing act. Yes, we're talking about Nepal, the land of the towering Himalayas and the not-so-towering political presence. 🏔️🎩
As the world's top 20 powerhouses gathered to discuss the hottest topics of our time, Nepal was left out in the cold. But why, you ask? Well, it seems Nepal didn't quite make the cut for the VIP "Observer" status, and the reasons are as glaring as a Yeti in a snowstorm. 🙈❄️
Firstly, let's address the elephant in the room – sizeable economy and global presence. Nepal, bless its heart, isn't exactly a heavyweight in the world of economics or politics. It's more like that friendly neighbor who occasionally borrows a cup of sugar but isn't invited to the neighborhood barbecue. 🍚🌭
And speaking of barbecue, let's not forget the scorching issue of climate change. Nepal, sitting pretty as the foothill of the Himalayas, is poised to bear the brunt of climate change's wrath. But alas, being in the crosshairs of this global crisis doesn't seem to earn you a front-row seat at the G20 table. Apparently, you need more than a melting glacier or two to make the cut. 🌍❌
So, what does this tell us about the political acumen of Nepal? Well, let's just say that while Nepal might have the world's highest peak, it's struggling to climb the political summit. Maybe it's time for some diplomatic mountaineering, or perhaps a few lessons in the art of being visible on the global stage. 🏔️🌐
In the end, Nepal's absence from the G20 observer list serves as a stark reminder that in international diplomacy, it's not just about the mountains you have; it's about the moves you make. And for Nepal, it seems the path to political prominence is still a bit of an uphill climb. 🏞️🚶♂️ #NepalNotIncluded
Tech talk over espresso

First in the spotlight is the iPhone 15, rumored to finally sport the USB-C port we've all been waiting for. Say goodbye to your charger graveyard!

Next up, the Apple Watch Series 9, set to flaunt fresh watch faces and complications. But will it moonlight as a blood glucose monitor? 🩸🤔 And could it undergo a Terminator-esque transformation with a titanium alloy makeover? The suspense is as thick as a latte foam. ☕✨
And of course, let's not forget the tech realm, where Apple's SOC is turning the tables on Intel and AMD. So, get ready for the M2 Pro Max Pro – because when it comes to naming, Apple's circus is now in session. 🎪🚀
As we sip on our coffee and await these tech marvels, who knows, maybe one day we'll order a latte with an Apple Pay Max Pro Espresso. Until then, stay wired, stay witty, and keep those coffee cups full, because the tech world is always brewing something delightful! 🤖📅☕ #AppleEventHype
