I walked out of the old Rana house wiser and unburdened. Read that sentence more carefully. The use of word "unburdened" itself is telling LOUDLY and CLEARLY how irritated he was then to miss the free trip to USA, and yet to hide that bitterness he tried to protect him by putting "wiser" in front of that. ha ha ha. I can't stop laughing at the mentality of the writer at the time he wrote this article. And even before that, note how he used "RANA" house. What's the purpose of doing that??????? That last sentence in the article is enough to tell us what a screwed up mentality he has. Don't just praise the so called intellectuals writings/articles/novel simply because they are elders, older, teachers, Sirs, father, mother, kaka, mama. That attitude should be shed off by the young generation of Nepal. I agree with Ashu.
