Great write-ups - both of them - there is a lot of food for thought and call for action in both those articles. :)" Thanks, Captain. Appreciate your sentiments. My hobby -- one of many things that gives me the most pleasure -- is to have stimulating, engaging kura-kani with friends, colleagues and family members AND do interesting, engaging work that captures my full attention for a long period of time :-) It is in that spirit that I wrote those pieces. And it is in that spirit that I will continue to think about different aspects of our Nepal, and will continue to share ideas and thoughts with you all on Sajha, Nepali Times and elsewhere, knowing fully well that others out there will agree/disagree with and modify/revise/correct my own thoughts, thereby adding to collective learning. Take care . . . and more later soon. oohi ashu
