How did a "mandale"thread end up speaking french?vous parle francais re? Si si:) Reminds me of my ex-french female companion who would curse me in french (always sounded beautiful). And I would surely reply her back in Nepali(what a communication?) The only french word I knew before meeting her"Les Miserables" What a wonderful piece of literature that was? A life changing drama. Back to mandales;) Some names are sooooooo familiar. Does that mean I have say "Lal Salaam"next time I meet them? A warm red salute...comrade. Just kidding ni pheri;) Doctors backing the current regime;)Brain drain turned brain waste:)
