We Nepali must learn not to make this argument anytime a Nepali living in the USA praises Nepal:

 "So why are you  here? Why don't you go back?"

This question is a mean, vacuous, meaningless, and even stupid question. It is what the right wing radio talk show hosts tell their african american listeners who call them to complain about their life in the states. "Oh, yea, why don't you go back to Africa ?" It is pretty much any arrogant, mindless individual from a wealthy country's privileged class tells others when confronted with tough questions.

You see, Akshay's wife, an American is in Nepal, but it doesn't mean Nepal is better in all aspects than the united states.

Having said this, though it is not a good idea to respond to ad hominem attack (afterall this forum is where we don't reveal our true identity), just for your information, I have a business in Nepal, and I have created jobs there. 

USA is very much part of my life. I studied here, and a part of my professional life requires me to be connected with this land. But nothing compares to Nepali hills. I know several Nepalese who head to Nepalese hills for trekking when time and money allows them to do so and I am one of them.

Even when politicians have screwed Nepal, I do know and believe that the country we have, the country we grew up, will rise very high one day. It won't be disintegrated, it won't be cursed forever, and it is my belief.
