It's good you are bringing it to everyone's attention. A fellow Nepali publishes in a reputed journal. That's good. I am glad for him. Having said that, however, I see no reason that to be a topic here as if it were some Nobel Prize, a Putlizer. It isn't about publishing a book or even a front-page/principal journal article. Mr. Toyajee has co-authored a piece that has been published under the section LETTERS, not lead research articles. While it's good to have something out than nil, I know more than three dozen advanced graduate students or recent Ph.D.s who have done so or even more in their respective fields. You should know that every discipline has a few top-ranked journals and if you want to research or teach in a top-tier schools or research institutions, you need to have your stuff out there. So, andjee, without meaning to offend you or Toya, keep it up and keep it to yourself. I know you can call me a jealot, but you are wrong because I am not against you. I simply fail to see how it would be such a big news. If Toya's research has broken fresh grounds in a discipline, well, let's celebrate it. But just for having a piece co-authored out there, keep it to yourself. Give me a break.
