I have been going to school for more than 20 yrs
and I still feel that emptiness especially when I see gores who are in
my age group (34-36) knows a lot and makes me feel inferior.
I think u are second guessing yourself too much. Please dont compare yourself with goras (its not easy for me to say as i do it myself a lot) but the fact is that some brightest of the bunch goras have recieved well rounded education since they started walking...and these goras have a great habit of READING books and journals and magazines like Wall street journals, NY times and all the international news. The ones you are refering to take politics seriously and they debate a lot with their peers about interesting topics. I am telling all these from experience form many "goras" I knew from several classes. Another thing is that they are articulate in the things they want to say as its their mother tongue. I am not undermining my felllow nepali friends but just giving you some scenarios for your analogy. just start pulling yourself out from your comfort zone and explore things you have never done before.there is this site called meetup.com where u can meet join several interesting groups in your local area and participate in discussions, eat out, parties etc...
just cherish your uniqueness and dont secondguess yourself...Phd sounds great but being socially useful is as satisfying
