ohhh.. For me it has first been Nepali'pan then American'pan' when I went to a university in the U.S. and now it is Canadian'pan' after I left the U.S. for a job in Canada. It has been a greatly exciting and I'm discovering so many thing which I would have been never learned or discovered. I went a US university where I was the only Nepali student therefore it would have been totally absurd, silly and unrealistic to live there with any hint of Nepali'pan'. I washed away many of the ways I used to think as a typical Nepali for a very simple reasons..They didnt fit into the time and place , they were not useful nor would they be useful in the future either. There I saw a color of American'pan' on my ways of thought. Socially and politically I've a progressive liberal ways of thought and and it's only after I settled in Canada I was able to realize I've ended up in a country that has social political values is very much in-line(compatiable) with my own and now I'm even more convinced that in fact Canada is the "land of free" because of progressive social and political values that are very astoundingly from Nepal and the United States.That's my Canadian'pan'.
