On June 2, 2001 on the normal morning, phone of our home rang, and caller id showed it was from Dubai; my big brother was on the other side of phone and he asked with perplexed voice “ is it sure that our king was dead?” My mother was puzzled and he woke me up and said “Saten, our king was dead with his family” I can believe what I’ve heard I turned the TV on and switched to the BBC news, the massacre of Royal family of Nepal (The breaking news) along with Bomb blast in one of the restaurant in Tel Aviv. I got so shocked the people were flocking to the streets of Kathmandu. Who did it? Why? Hundreds of questioned were raised and left unanswered for 3 days. It was said that Crown Prince Dipendra did because of dispute over the marriage. He shot his father, mother, sister, brother along with eight other. Unbelievable !!! so friendly…… so respectful ……… the Crown Prince gun fired the whole family. The whole situation was so dramatized that speaker of House of Representative turned speechless when question were fired by reporters and he appeared like kindergarten kid in front of the whole press. The situation was explained by Dr. Rajiv Shahi (so-called eye-witness). According to him, the automatic gun was fired by drunkPrince, killing all the attendants of dinner besides him. (Must have been magic). The king Birendra and the queen Aishwarya was declared dead, and crown prince was in coma for three days and announced as the next king. The mourners turned into the mob; shouting the slogan against the newly reigned king Gyanendra, who was said to be at Pokhara since no successor was left. No investigation was performed and we got our new king from back door of Royal palace. Since then it’s never been a monarchy, it turned into anarchy in Nepal.
