Departure from the norm (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When Prime Minister Balendra Shah departed from Kathmandu on Tuesday on a scheduled Qatar Airways flight, there was no guard of honour, no diplomats and officials lining up to say bye, no imported gladioli to be handed to the bodyguard, no motorcade with flashing lights bringing him to the ramp below the plane. He stepped out of his limo onto the tarmac in his signature all-black attire, shades and Goldstar shoes. Shook hands with Home Minister Sudan Gurung. And that was it. This low-key departu

This has had the unintended consequen

Read excerpt
Suddenly, after nearly five months in office, Prime Minister Balendra Shah has come out of his cave to meet with business leaders, bankers and investors. Then this week in a departure from his earlier practice of meeting diplomats in a group setting, he sat down for one-on-ones with Indian Ambassador Naveen Srivastava and Chinese Ambassador Zhang Maoming.
