We're doomed
But we all knew that already. This is just an infomational brief describing how and why.
From the Business Standard, Domino’s plans Nepal, Bangladesh foray :
Domino’s Pizza India Ltd has firmed up plans to enter Nepal and Bangladesh within a year.[. . .] The company has already established its presence in Sri Lanka within three years of its operations there. Dominos India broke even in the current financial year after five years of operation.
In order to grow its business further and attract additional footfalls, the company is adding new products under its portfolio. The latest item is ‘Cinnastix’ which is cinnamon flavoured freshly baked sweet bread sticks. The product is the most successful product launched by the parent company in the last two years, Nair said.
[. . .] Speaking on the past experiences, Nair added that the company has launched three products in the last one year which include thin crust pizza, garlic bread and now ‘cinnastix.’
He added that the company has sold about 10 million garlic bread sticks in India in the last one year which is ‘phenomenal.’
Let's see, a billion people in India, which works out to. . . no, that way madness lies.
Meanwhile, according to Pizza Marketplace News, Domino’s Pizza India headed for first-ever profit:
NEW DELHI—Domino’s Pizza India Ltd. is headed toward its first profit since opening in the subcontinent five years ago.[. . .] "It has been made possible by increasing focus not only on training, but also on appreciation and awards for the employees," said Nair, adding that delivery times have improved as well.
Before year's end, Domino's expects to add five new outlets for a total of 90. It once had 100 units in the country, but pulled back after expanding too quickly. Since then, the company has renovated and expanded many of its outlets.
I'd check to see what delivery times are, but figure the part of my brain that's genuinely curious about Domino's Pizza delivery times in India deserves to suffer.
Nothing about this at BBC Nepali.
The Royal Nepalese embassy at Saudi Arabia has said it has issued travel documents to 81 Nepalese nationals detained in different prisons in the kingdom to travel back home. Office-in-charge at the embassy, Lekh Nath Gautam, told BBC Nepali service that they were reportedly arrested on charges of violating contracts with their employers.
They're more concerned with other things.

"We're doomed." The voice of Anthony Daniels rings true and clear.

Anthony Daniels trudged around Tunisia in that C3PO costume.
James Earl Jones sat back in a studio and looped Vader's dialogue.
Mr. Jones -- despite not even appearing in the credits of the first film -- has probably gotten a bigger fat movie check than Mr. Daniels for the series.
Now, I likes to see a brother get paid, but even I think that's some fucked up shit.
This has been your racial conspiracy theory for the day. More or less.
