E. How do you feel if somebody interrupts you on the verge of winning point? Do you think it is ethical?

Answer
In some competitive scenarios, interruptions may be part of the game or strategy, such as in sports where opponents try to disrupt each other's focus. In these cases, it is generally considered acceptable within the rules of the game. However, being interrupted on the verge of winning a point is generally considered frustrating for individuals in competitive situations. The ethics of such interruptions depend on intent; deliberate disruptions can be perceived as unsportsmanlike, breaching the principles of fair play and respect. Unintentional interruptions may be more forgivable but still disrupt the natural flow of achievement. In any context, ethical conduct involves respecting others' efforts and the established rules. Communication and understanding play crucial roles in addressing such interruptions and maintaining a fair and respectful environment.

Answer:

Dear Sagar,

I am extremely sorry to learn about the passing of Jayananda Lama (1956-2022). His departure from this world is an unbelievable loss for the Nepali art sector, particularly in the realms of folk singing and acting. Jayananda Lama was a senior folk singer and actor who left an indelible mark on the industry. His contributions to the Nepali art scene are immeasurable, and his absence will be deeply felt. His songs like "Kalakate Kainyo," "Herda Ramro," "Chuin Chuin Chuikane Joota," and "Mulako Chana" will be remembered and heard forever. They are always in our hearts as his super hit folk songs. He didn’t write and sing songs only moreover, he acted in over a hundred movies.

I extend my heartfelt condolences to you and everyone affected by the loss of Jayananda Lama. May his departed soul find eternal peace, and may his legacy continue to inspire future generations in the world of Nepali art.

With deepest sympathy,

Ishan Shrestha
