"Thieves stole our two water-pumps!" reported my office-attendant over the phone during Dasain, 2001. We had installed the best pumps, and so lost Rs 30,000 that morning. The thieves had studied our vulnerability, scaled the wall, broken the lock of the brick-tin hut, disengaged the two water-pumps with their pipe wrenches, probably sold them at one-fourth of their real value, and with smirking faces and smeared consciences tried to enjoy Dasain. Perhaps, they bought goats for their families. Perhaps, they gambled away their loot. So, I wonder at every Dasain what next our office will lose. Dasain breeds criminals like no other festival.
