Today, Nepal has a new assembly as the parliament members were sworn in. These members were elected in the general election held last month. It is a new beginning for the country. It is perhaps for the first time that Nepal is walking towards the road of real democracy where people will be higher than any King.

Minutes after the swearing-in ceremony, the king was seen leaving the palace in a small convoy of three vehicles. The king was driving himself and Queen Komal in a black Mercedes sedan, an AFP reporter at the palace gates said.
The palace press secretariat said it did not know where the king was going, or if he was leaving for good -- in line with Maoist demands he vacate the palace and bow out gracefully.
Kathmandu has been tense, and Tuesday saw another small bombing that wounded two people in a park in the centre of the city.
Well, I just hope that Nepal can have political stability for some time. Well, the people of Nepal are now optimistic but at the same time, there are some concerns to be addressed. There is no consensus among the political parties about anything except removing the King.
