While Pukar's resume is outstanding and once you have Ivy League's connection, definitely you will be amongst handful of elites and would no wonder land in a big position.This is also a fact. His grooming. upbringing, his perseverance, intelligence, exposure and perhaps luck which has landed him in this sort of impressive position.
At the same time just because you have PhD from big school does not make you a good social leader. Taking inspiration from the successful people like him is one thing, but being overwhelmed or being over critical unnecessarily hinders your growth of self confidence and as well as keeps you away from recognizing those people who are back home doing some great jobs. Starting facebook page is I guess an example of sheer lack of our critical thinking. Just too early. Who should be our prez or pm, let the people back home to decide! Or do we even know whether pukar wants it or not? Let's not put him on a awkward position as well. Academically, yes he can contribute a lot to his home country.
Having spent so many years in US, it would be quite normal for him to take US passport, nothing wrong on his part but folks here will be disappointed, some people who think is an ideal, wants him to be PM or Prez would be outraged. No? That is how most of us are.I see sort of fighting started here already, worth it? Think people!! Couple of years ago, we heard that one of Nepali got into NASA, he
was I guess was from graduate from third tier Midwestern university. So, if you are talented, hardworking individual you are going to do good! While we should be happy with our fellow nepali's achievement in international arena, at the same time we need to think that people back home are more than or as capable-except our political leaders.
He has achieved a lot, and would go long way, I do not think it is a right idea for us to drag his credentials into some sort of controversy or be over euphemistic either. Let him live his life, let him enjoy his achievements, popularity, celebrity status. In future definitely, we will be in a better able to draw some conclusion.
