It was fun to watch Nabin Bhattarai make it late in the poll and still go neck and neck with Nepathya and Kandara (who had 14-15 votes head start). In fact while I am typing this NKB is up by 1 votes on the poll.
By putting only Nepathya and Kandara (others irrelevant here) in the ballots and missing Nabin Bhattarai, proven to be a strong contender, this voting method was rigged from the start. But when mass speaks, the leaders can't just turn the other way, so NKB did make it to the ballot and now in the lead-- a come from behind with a late start victory (although only the aroma of victory is smelt).
Having said that all, it is hard to believe NKB would aquire so many votes in such limited time. Previous polls show voting limited to a total 40-50 votes per poll. The current poll has crossed well over the century mark. One has to wonder if this poll is of very high interest to the sajha.com visitors or if proxy and fake votes made it to the ballet.
Reminds me of 2036 BS Janmat Sangraha.

We talked to Nepathya on the eve of the release of their 5th album, Resham and discussed their concert schedules for Kathmandu and Pokhara. Excerpts:
Wave: How do you define Nepathya's music?
Amrit: Our music cannot be defined under any particular category. Resham, the album has incorporated new sounds, which cannot really be categorized. It was fun working in the studio, for this album.
Wave: What about the lyrical content?
Ratna: It's the usual - romantic, catchy phrases, while there are those that seem simple yet profound. The process of choosing lyrics wasn't our prior concern. Some of them even got changed while we began recording.
Wave: You have a 13-minute-long song in Resham. What was that all about?
Dhruba: Let's not reveal the characteristics of that song yet. It was an experiment. The audience should listen and comment on it. We would love feedback and their interpretations of that song.
Wave: Any particular event or inspiration that might have created it?
Dhruba: There's no inspiration. This album is a result of spontaneity, nothing was formatted. Whatever you hear on this album was improvised at the spur of the moment. Basically we left no stone unturned.
