I try to make new acquaintances with Nepali people not personal as much as possible. So, I try avoid calling stranger older people uncle, didi, dai etc as much as possible. It is hard sometimes you know. It is a double edge sword. You don't call them uncle, they get disappointed. You call them uncle, and they get disappointed later anyway because you didn't do things as they expected of you. 😏

Once you make relations personal, it is hard to say "no". That will bring disappointment, anger, envy, jealousy all that negative stuff at the personal level. It is better to feel those negative emotions politically against the system or corporations. My two cents...🤓
