Gallant, Kalanki Beta is a nice guy and recently his postings are more eccentric and sarcastic, whatever may be the reason. If you are raising the issue genuinely to uphold these societies created in the name of Nepalis, then, keep on standing what you think is right. Its not only you, others whom I met in the gathering also raised the same issue and were disappointed with the result. Kalanki either just don't know the issue and was just trying to make fun in his drunken (alchoholic) mood, as he says he does not care anything more than free drinks (remember the free drink also comes after you pay the registration fees: well if you were waived the registration fee, then, I don't have anything to say). In order to make these societies functioning at least above thresold level, then such irregularities should be raised and it will be to uphold and enhance these societies. GP http://www.eopinion.org/
