Redlotus, I completely agree with you even tho I've never read Dr. Yogi Bikashananda. We Nepali's love playing the blame game and pointing fingers ( OH YOU STARTED THIS THREAD THATS WHY THERE IS SO MUCH ANGER AND RESENT IN SAJHA :P). It doesn't help that we have lazy politicians in charge. I admit I don't know much about politics (nor am I interested in finding out) but I feel that CHANGE is NOT welcome in Nepal. That is a very bad/sad thing.

Down to minute details, we always walk the beaten path. A self-contained, self-propelled society ignoring (condescendingly) the forces around us (Indians for example).

We like throwing ourselves around, priding ourselves for our courage and (even worse) our anger. Yes, anger.

We are proud to be angry people. Angry at what? Beats me, but angry... and proud. Maybe we think others might get "scared" of us, but the only people we're scaring (and influencing) are our youth.

Of the few amongst us that hope for a better future, there are hundreds for that few who want to ridicule them, bring them to "shame" just out of pure envy.

We are a proud jealous angry crowd. And it gets worse. We are lazy.

I don't mean to offend anyone with my views. If you don't agree, lets have a debate, I don't mind if its constructive.
