Sorry I had to start a new thread on this. I couldn't help without expressing my views on recent stuff that is happening... Besides the points/questions I mentioned above I still have some more .... I again say-- do we all understand the real fact/truth? If not then how can we go about it? --The next point might be lil out of the point,,but let me tell you one thing--how many Nepalese associations are there in US? Many- right?? Whats the purpose of those association--well one argue on this forever..but it seems like most of the association or so called association have emerged out from TRI-STATE area (DC,Virginia, Maryland). BTW all these associations have so many positions. I have come across many of those leaders of those associations, and they seem so proud of themselves. I have noticed a sense of ego. I believe in people who really does the work and not just for the popularity. I salute those people. Many (associations) have failed to sustain in a path they had initated and have become stagnant but few have excelled....Yes team work is very essential in such environment, but am I wrong to say that in this country also we are fighting for name --in other words..in all these associations--have you noticed anyone who seems kind of "cocky" and arrogant. Its not bad when someone comes forward and leads but should not lead just for the sake of popularity (self). There is still some ego in all of us. I might be rambling--but may be someone out there might wanna oppose my views. Oh one last thing---have you come across people who kind of get insulted when you do not address him/her by her/his title such as Doctor....If the person has PHD and if you fail to mention the title in some newsletters or anything--- Well I have seen people mentioning about their masters degree on their business cards...SO i guess its normal right?
