>>>You see, I may not know much about Nepal (because, well, I was not born in some village in Palpa or Arghakhanchi or wherever else I needed to be born to be taken as a so-called authentic Nepali.) Being from Arghakhanchi and having made fun occassionally of Ashu's occassional slightly-out-of-place explanations re:his personal life (of course, with no offense intended), I found this sentence quite amusing. Perhaps San dai should allow a CV section in this site for those wanting to explain their life history, including how many amazing jobs they have "given up" for Nepal, how many districts they have visited, and so on. We would be saving a lot of time that way and may be more columns will be written!
