Mr. Treqor, your posting on Lhochaar party caught my attention. You have expressed your utter disappointment in not being able to perform for what you had prepared for. I am sorry to hear that. As one of the main organizers of that program, i disagree with you that we were irresponsible and were even happy to get rid of that particular item. It is not true. You may take it the way you want to but overriding any item ideally planned to make our Cultural Program beautiful is not an easy thing to swallow. Every program we organize, we make mistakes and we keep learning from them. This year's glitches and flaws have taught us a whole lot too. That is why, you can ask any of our usual audience and they will tell you how our program has improved over the years. We were trying to do our best. Due to the time and technical difficulties the musicians themselves gave up the idea of putting up the piece. Were you on a bathroom break or something while this was going on?? We respect artists and have always been giving them credits they deserve. I know art doesn't come easy and everybody can't put up a good show. It is not just about performing, it is about putting everything together in the best way we can so that those who come to the party have a grreat time. On the other hand, our objective is to preserve our culture and carry on with many of our traditions modifying according to time and place. Having 500+ Nepalese under the same roof in the US is not a joke. We are really happy and thank everyone who come to our shows and support us. There are many people who thank us for bringing so many people together the way we do. It gives us immense joy and satisfaction. If i recall correctly, you are the dude who hadn't decided which song to sing even till the last week. You are the dude, who was put in our program listing till the very last four days. You are the same dude whom i personally went out of my way to have the band play for your song but you couldn't make up for the practice time. As a result what happened??? we decided to erase your item. Even then we encouraged you to play in the future programs. Hey dude, atleast try to see how far we went to involve you in our event. Ya, you sing pretty good but, remember singing and organizing programs is two different ball games. There are many good musicians and singers around here. Many want to perform in the program we organize. Why? Because we organize pretty well and we give good respect and priority to artists. Believe me, many of these guys are really good. We wish to involve more and more people with more variety everytime we work towards a program. It is not easy. But we always try. If pouring out how you feel in this thread quenches your thirst and makes you feel better, what can i say? Atleast, you felt better.Good for you. My advice to you is, if you want to contribute towards the solution instead of lurking behind some username and whimpering; you should talk to the concerned people as a man (I don't wish to name you in this thread because you don't have the balls to write your name yourself). Hey, i know we are not perfect and i know we make mistakes all the time. I know we have so much to improve on. I am ready to listen to ideas, follow good lead, even learn to learn, help people the best way we can. If you want to talk to me, my phone no. is 617-764-1645.I will be more than happy to talk. Maybe we can learn something from each other. About the historic Deusi/Bhailo in Boston this year. I believe, it was the first one ever done around here. GBNC EXE. were very happy to hear that so many people wanted the group to come to their homes and houses for deusi. Such responses encourage us to continue the trend. You should be glad that there are people who give respect to your talent by involving you in the deusi group. I don't think anybody dragged you off your feet or forced you to be in the group. You could always say NO. If you had financial inclinations, then you should have talked to the group or the president. Maybe something could be worked out. Ya, dough.... that the fund went to GBNC. Atleast we were working together to bring surplus to GBNC budget for the first time after many years of "uncanny" financial doldrums. I don't know about everything, but one thing i know very well is that, this group of GBNC EXEC. are doing their best to bring daylight to the GBNC fund. If you have questions on this matter why not talk to them. Maybe your wise ideas could bring better results. You know what!!! You could always LEAD.. FOLLOW.... OR GET OUT OF THE WAY.
