Taking a moment to appreciate sajha.com Many of us that come to sajha.com are immigrants. We are making that transition from Nepali society to adapting in American society. We have our own individual stories. In many ways when we are in Nepal, we have our close friends, family that we can relate with to discuss 'dukha ra sukha ko kura.' The physical proximity between people helps us feel close to them. That all changes when we come to the States. We exchange familiarity of environment, culture from Nepal for more opportunities in the States. But the nature of our Nepali story changes also once we come to the States. This is why sajha.com is great. Here, in the anonymity of the internet, we all get to talk about our individual circumstances. Sajha.com has changed how I think of my fellow Nepalese brothers and sisters. In many ways, to come with the difficulties of being an immigrant, identity crisis, etc we can go to counseling to Americans. We may even go to professional counseling. But, many times we have to translate our Nepali cultural experiences to them. They cannot understand what we are going through at an emotional level, the way another Nepali could. That is why many of us end up coming to sajha to tell and read other people's stories and find parallels with our own experiences.
