Welcome to reality....Where have you been? FYI, most Nepali not only have 2 birthdays, many of my generations had multiple birthday in multiple copy of passport. In fact some could NOT even remember the names they have put in different passports, forget about the DOB. Anything is possible in Nepal. Next time you feel akward with your American friends, tell them we practice the real for of democracy, unlike theirs where there is too many rules, we have none.

Few reasons why  surnames, birth dates are non-consistent even in my family: Child birth registration is/was not compulsory Parents even did not remember the exact birth dates of our large family, when the district authority appeared randomly for record (I remember 2032-2034 BS, my mother was giving approximate birthdates of our seven brothers and two sisters in my village) In our family we have three types of surnames (Thar, Gotra and common like Sharma) and few not real birth dates, sometimes it's a matter of headache to get consistency in certificates, old birth records, district citizenship card and thus passport. I think it's a hidden mystery for most of the families in Nepal ?! Last edited: 14-Jan-09 01:38 PM

Now that the calendar is being shifted by a month, the birthdays get even more muddled up. the calendar is really shifting though right?
