For The People

On September 27, the World Tourism Day, a group of VIP tourists were taken on a tour in a coach to show different important cultural and heritage sites of Kathmandu,  Patan and Bhaktapur. Nepal’s tourism minister was also in the team.
 
The tourists ask the Tourism Minister: “Who are these people with curio items in their hands, some pushing bicycles, and some pushing the carts? And where are they from?
 
Minister: “They are the common people of Nepal, the real rulers of this country”.
 
After a while came a fleet of flag-bearing Mercedes escorted by Traffic chiefs on white painted motorbikes followed by Pajeros full of armed policemen. The tourist coach was stopped for a while to let the caravan to pass.
 
Tourists: “And who are these”?
 
Minister: “Well, these are us, the servants of the people.”                                                                      -ML
