The more you focus on it, the more of a self fufilling prophecy it becomes.



Please lets not generalize that parents wont allow this or that..



If someone is abroad, they have obligation towards parents but they
also have something they didnt really have back home. Freedom of choice.





If you wanna smoke pot/crack and waste your money. Its you're choice.



If you wanna pay $10 to watch Spanish documentary on why polar bears are crying in Antarctica, your choice.



By saying parents wont allow, you are assuming that parents have 100% control which in MOST situations is never true.



If you wanna go out with a person of a different culture, the only
thing stopping you is your own views. I feel people of my generation
(20s) are intimidated by the social pressure put by the older
generations.



We are lead by convictions of the older generation that doing such and
such is 'bad' or will lead to 'imbalance' or some other negative stuff.
Their convictions were correct, back in the day, given their situation and context. These convictions
should more of less be used as guidelines instead of an ultimate book
of rules that one should adhere to in order to follow the 'Nepali' way
of life.

The way we are viewing things right now will soon be obsolete in the next decade and more or less rendered useless.

So nows the time to do something if you wanna, as for this 'samaj', you have a bigger problem if ur abroad, you gotta start thinking about what the 'global samaj' will say and that includes HUMAN BEINGS like yourself who might be your neighbor from a different country/cultural background.

Time to expand our scope to acknowledge and comprehend people/places/things that might not be related to Nepal but exist nevertheless!

Sincerely,

DD
