We are the most hypocrite people on earth. We watch hindi movies, listen to hindi songs, eat their food, wear their dresses and yet we say that we do not like Indians or India. We call them "Dhotis", and we think it is uncool to speak hindi even though we are almost fluent in that language. Why?? As Funtush had pointed out, I rather keep my own culture and celebrate Tihar not Deepawali, and dont mind their music, movies, food etc. Funtush is right, I see this more and more that Nepali celebrating our own festivals as more and more Indian ways. Since when we start putting Rakhi in our hand? I have seen "puja" in people's house just like they do in hindi serials.
