This is turning into an anthology more than I thought. The idea is to come up with 20-30 most ridiculous ideas and write mock research essays. They need to be more fleshed out than what I did for the last one, but that's going to come as things evolve. I'm just having fun here, nothing to see.
Alright, alright, this is your original concept, makes sense. Now explain to us, in detail, what you think happened on Jestha 19th in the royal palace.
So sir if I really have to say, I think the tale of the events of that day must have gone back a long time. If you ask me why, the Prince can't just have carried the big gun and killed everybody like that. A man's body gets tired, the mind gets tired. It cannot kill so many people of his own family. And moreover he was a crown prince, he didn't have so much courage to do it all in a moment of anger. In our area too sometimes men get angry, they get drunk and high and take other drugs. They beat their wife, their kids, attack other people, sometimes even the police, and they get send to jail. There are stories of people getting in the daze and using guns to kill one or two people or pushing something like that. But no matter how many bullets one's gun has, one man cannot kill so many of his own family in cold blood. The heart doesn't let you sir. One needs to have been trained like a soldier, only a soldier can kill like that. Or another reason one can kill is if one has a of anger. Surely you must have heard of the stories too. The son killing his mother and father. Or wife killing husband and kids, or husband killing whole family. Things like that. Because there is a fire of anger, it is only a spark but the fire can't go anywhere so it keeps burning inside the hard it gets bigger and bigger inside one's own body and one day it makes the whole heart into ash, charcoal, sir. There is no heart, only dark black liquid. Then he becomes blind, he acts like an animal and just attacks, goes at it with everything he got. He doesn't have regret, he doesn't understand fear. That fire wants to burn everything in the surrounding, friends or family, children or elderly, man or woman, relations or stranger, it doesn't care. It only wants to burn, destroy everything.
--right, right, go on --
Yes sir, that is what must have been happening with Dipendra, he wasn't just drunk and dazed and killing somebody. His inside was all burned-out, he was not a man sir, he was a monster at that time already. And even in the news they said, ohh this girl he wanted to marry but they told him to marry a different girl, so this and that. I don't believe that sir. When you are a prince, when you are going to be the king, they don't teach you to back down because of a girl. In our own village, the mukhiya's son, he won't back down if the father says no, not this girl, another one. That is because sir he has gotten everything he wanted even as a small child. He has been brought up as a king. And what kind of king says, oh no sorry father, sorry that I wanted to marry this girl but you told me not to and to marry another girl and there is nothing I can do, so I will hide my anger inside and inside for many many years until I kill the whole family. No, this is the heart and mind of a king, a ruler, who knows what he wants. In small things like the matter of the woman, his wife, he would have fought with the father, sir, if it became a big news, he would even give interviews to radio and newspaper, to other countries tv and internet if they didn't let them publish here. He has the fire that burns inside the king. The proud King doesn't shy away because somebody says he needs a different queen.
Okay so you're saying Prince Dipendra's cause of discontent with his family was not the girl, there was something else happening.
Yes sir, there is no chance it could have been the girl. It's a small reason for someone like that Prince, he would have married her because the King's ego doesn't let him back out of anything small like that. In my mind there had to be something more big, something even his big ego would be afraid of speaking out aloud. There had to be something that could create so much disruption, and fighting and even warfare that he didn't dare leak it himself. Something much more important than the girl, but also something difficult that he couldn't just tell it to the public.
And what would it be?
I'm a common man, I hear things other say. In my village our uncle's son he went to school in Kathmandu, in the boarding school. He was in the same class as the Prince. Now he is a doctor, he sometimes even works for the government, he is a big person but even now in Dashain time and others we meet even though he has big friends and he's done well he treats us with great respect. Maybe you even know him...
I don't know, we have been told to not talk about things like that, this is all being recorded and somebody else is listening to it. Please get back to the relevant part of the story.
ohhh sir I see I see it's like that, I didn't know sir I'm just a simple man, and I thought maybe...since...I have connections too in Kathmandu few people. So this son of my uncle, he went to the same school as Dipendra, and he told us stories about when he was younger. Many years ago, before the scandal happened, now if you go ask him he'll pretend he didn't even hear you, but back then he told us stories.
