meera and i always think alike(, except sometimes. :-) exactly. why does it matter whether he's no longer nepali? it's you that should matter, not your nationality or your profession or your whatever other extraneous things of social stratification are that may carry pride or stigma... if he were to run to be the president of nepal, then maybe his not being Nepali would be a relavant issue....but as a singer, he's good. his being nepali or not makes no difference. it's his personal choice. let go of your insecurities ppl... let everybody be equal regardless.
