Happy Half-Republic Shastipurti

At this moment in history, at least half the time we are a republic - with only one dominating national party controlled by Queen Sonia's party. The other still looks to popular vote, and popular interest and welfare.

It's certainly a good omen to have Nano appear at the cusp of the new cycle of the country's life. Hope there are more truly local innovations yet to come, to change people's life, in the next 60-year cycle.

So, Happy Half-Republic Shastipurti!
