I do NOT know Roger Adhikari personally. But as a Nepali, I am happy to learn about his candidacy, and wish him well in this endeavor. On a larger note, it's always gratifying and satisfying to see fellow Nepalis' aiming high in whatever ways they can in whatever fields they are in. **** Out of curiosity, two questions to Nepe or to Roger if he's reading this: a) I assume that he had a name other than Roger when he was in Nepal. What was that name? b) I further assume that he changed his given Nepali name to 'Roger' in America, and that's fine. But in his campaign, given the demographics of Tracy, CA, would not "Roger for City Council" be a better-sounding/more familiar/appealing slogan than "Adhikari for City Council" Anyway, all the best. oohi ashu
