Bhusan To answer your question, ANA website has the details of finances and doesn't look like anybody gets paid. Now what happens inside, that I don't know; but giving them the benefit of doubt, nobody makes any money out of it. Maila dai You might be partially right, but making money doesn't sound like a goal. We have ourselves organized party and bearing the cost to hold a party, unless you have a cash bar, you don't make much. ANA gives the cash bar to the hotels. Dyamn Well said, and that's the constructive criticism ANA needs. If you wanna be proactive, you might want to go to their meetings/ elections. Just sitting here and whining (not you) won't help. Strike-king You said, "If these people.." Why does it always have to be "These people?" Why can't you take part in it too? Be proactive not reactive. If not, then stop complaining. Ratobhaley Agree with you. I am sick and tired of reading same sh*t in SAJHA about these conventions so I am whining myself. Sambro U made ur point and u are right to some extent. but as a Nepali, we have the right to be part of a "functioning" organization; complaining and just discouraging any activity isn't going to solve anything. Keep pulling legs and nobody will go anywhere. Riten Yes. Again, how about you partaking also? Pupiffy I am on the same boat; I won't go there coz it is too far. But I ain't bitc*ing about it.
