Chaurey and Rethink,

I think I know what you are saying.

When I was living in Texas, I used to regularly go to one restuarant for lunch. There was this blonde waitress that used to serve us. At first we just said hello but as we went there regularly, she wanted to know more about me. After she found out that I was not American she asked me to tell me my story. When did I come to America? What brought me here? Etc.

So I started to tell her my story. My story began in Nepal, of course, since that was where I was born. I asked her if she had heard of Nepal. She said no.
She said, "I just came from Oklohoma to Texas not long ago, I ain't known many places around Texas."

I patiently explained to her that Nepal was not in Texas. That it was a country far away from America. I tried again. I asked her if she had heard of India. I was going to explain to her that Nepal is next to India.
She said, "Nope, ain't heard of Indya."
 So I was finding it very difficult to tell my story at this point. She was a beautiful girl and I wanted her to know how I came to this country and where my parents and all were from. But the fact that she didn't have any background about where in the world Nepal or India was made it very difficult to relay my story to her.
This girl had one of those amazing blushing smiles. So I didn't give up. I asked her if she had heard of Asia.

Her light blue eyes looked confused, she squinted her eyes and looked around the restuarant, "Yeah...yeah, I think I heard of Asia somewhere...sometime. Is that where you're from?"

Well, anyway, least to say, that as much as I wanted to tell my story to this girl, her complete lack of awareness of any place outside of Oklohoma, where she had lived her whole life, made it near to impossible to tell my story to her. There was no way that I could have told her in detail about my story that happened in Chabel, Boudha, Naxal, Ratna Park, etc, if she didn't have the faintest clue where Nepal, India or even Asia was.

So is that my fault that she didn't know anything outside of her little hometown in Oklohoma? Would it be fair to me if she blamed me that I could not tell my life story to her?
