Kathmandu — It seemed just like a regular Tuesday until the Nepali authorities got wind of the proposed India-China dalliance in the mountainous region of Lipulekh, without a customary ‘plus one’ for Nepal.
An Unexpected Triangular Tango
While the rest of the world has been busy combating the pandemic, India and China have a totally different issue on their plate: a journey to Kailash Mansarovar. However, their plans started ringing bells in Kathmandu when the mountain-loving Nepalis stumbled upon this ‘mystic yatra’ without being included in the official brochure. Queue Persian violins and tales of woeful omission.
A state-level committee was immediately set up to discuss this critical matter. After all, how could the neighbors plan a trip without inviting their favorite hill-bhoy? Senior officials from the Nepali government came together, sipping on steaming cups of chai and arguing about the number of ‘likes’ the offensive Instagram post should minimally have before complaining to the IT cell.
Chaos Unfolds in Kathmandu Administration
The neglected feeling by the land-locked nation has evoked a wave of chaos in its political corridors. The government, in an impromptu move, ordered the cartographers to distort maps, bio-engineer yetis, and even encouraged childhood tactics like pulling out the ‘not-talking-to-either-of-you’ card.
Meanwhile, the social media war-room of Nepal has been strategically launching hashtags like #IncludeUsToo and #NepalWantsIn. The Twitter handle of the Minister of External Affairs is reportedly under siege by retweets, likes, and mentions, driving the manual refresh option into early retirement.
“We’re Missing the Party”, Exclaims Local Resident
Mr. Thakur, a local Kathmandu citizen, voiced the sentiment of the entire country rather despondently. “It’s like planning a bachelor party in Vegas for a Himalayan monk who has been living in isolation for the last forty years. And then conveniently forgetting to invite the monk himself. Maybe they don’t think we party as hard. But nobody said spirituality and fun could not coexist,” he grumbled, as he adjusted his ‘Himalayan Monk’ DuckDuckGo search cap.
