In a plot twist worthy of a tragicomic play, Nepali President Ramchandra Paudel's European escapade was quaked out of the calendar by Mother Nature herself. The earthquake in Jajarkot seemed to rattle more than just the earth—it shook up the President's travel plans too!
Initially, the President's office, in a move that would make a tightrope walker nervous, considered powering through with the European tour. However, the social media arena, armed with hashtags and digital pitchforks, called for a cancellation. Bowing to the will of the keyboard warriors, the President's trip was grounded.
But wait, there's a twist! In a valiant effort to show solidarity with the quake victims, President Paudel zoomed off to Jajarkot in his presidential chopper. It was a grand gesture until... whoosh! The chopper's grand entrance turned into a scene straight out of a slapstick comedy, with shelters being blown away in a less-than-presidential dust storm.
Now, the citizens are left in a haze, both literally and figuratively, wondering if their leader's attempt at hands-on governance was, in fact, a hands-off disaster. As tents tumbled and dust settled, the people mused whether it would have been a breeze had the President just sipped espresso in Europe instead.
So, here's to President Paudel, whose attempt to uplift spirits ended up displacing shelters. Maybe next time, the chopper could just drop some aid instead of taking off with it?
