so probably the biggest new story this week is the arrest of former prince (and international playboy?) paras shah for firing off a gun at a resort in chitwan after a disagreement with the daughter and son-in-law of the current deputy prime minister. although that arrest seems pretty fair to me (history demonstrates it's wise to be nervous about the combination of nepali royals and firearms), the royalist party blocked roads in basantapur, protesting his arrest. classic.
in other news, loadshedding (scheduled power outages) goes up to 56 hours a week due to hrydo shortages. bad news for those of us who like a hot shower in january.
