John, You are no doubt one of the best writers in sajha, probably even the best. I however disagree a little bit with your take on nepali music. I know everbody and anybody wants to be a singer, but then the public will spend thier money and time watching only those that they like and discard the rest. so why worry? ANd while I agree with you that the almost naked models on cyber nepal are disgusting. ANd neither them nor the 'kanchi' smile, I have seen that not even the naked models on catalogue of victoria's secret smile. I heard that it takes from the product they are promoting if attention is diverted to the smiling face. ANd i also noticed that often i judge the nepali models more harshly than i do the western ones. SOmehow, I am more comfortable watching totally naked western models than almost naked nepali ones. whether the latter is very bad as compared to the former comes later.
