I don't know about Gorakh's previous life, but I sympathize with him a lot.

from his interview, he evinces that he has correct vision of what he is supposed
to do: 'grow up his little children'. God, he got two beautiful kids, who probably
lost more that what we ever lost cumulatively.

I am very much convinced by his account of incident. May be some of them are
subjective reporting, the essence is clear and glaring.

Let's hope those kids (and their dad also) will have good, violence-free and
memorable life.

Gorakh -- whose former boss(es) at Nepal Grinday's Bank rave about him --
said that Dipendra did all the killings.

Some highlights from Gorakh's interview with NEPAL magazine:

1) That Dipendra was also seeing other women besides Devyani.
2) That Dipendra had beaten up his then pregnant sister Shruti in front of
Gorakh and other guests at a function at the palace a year ago, and had told Gorkah to "get out from my house".
3) That Dipendra would sometimes say that if he didn't get his way (i.e.
marry Devyani), he would finish the entire royal family along with himself.
4) That Dipendra had a violent streak that was UNKNOWN to the public at large.

5) That Gorkah himself acknowledged that while for most Nepalis the truth may
be harder to accept, his version of the stroy was what he actually saw that night.

As a Nepali citizen, having found out that much and more (such as Dipendra's addiction to drugs) about Dipendra AFTER his death, I am actually relieved
that he did not become a reigning monarch.

Makes me wonder -- in an 'informal' sort of way, of course -- whether if Dipendra had an access to, say, an Internet bulletin board to vent his anger/frustrations against his parents anonymously, that might have acted as an emotional valve, and King Birendra's family might actually be alive today . . . then again, this may just be silly/ wishful thinking . . .

How very sad. What a nut case Dipendra had been. I think nobody in the wildest dream would have thought he was capable of doing what he did. Is there a special place in hell reserve for such a monster?
