Ok, This is quite a sad and struggleful life story of yours. I am sure this is a real story, because I still remember one of your posts in a thread around one or two months ago, which told a story similar to this. However, that was shorter and was written in English. You told how you competed with the sons of the "Pradhan Pancha" and how he manipulated the results for his son to be selected for Budhanilkantha School instead of you. Somehow, you manage to live and study with a teacher of yours and finish SLC. You did not elaborate on your life after SLC, but were saying how your old school friends jumped into the insurgency once it started. Oh ya, you also mentioned about your sister, who was married to someone powerful from the village, but I forgot what exactly happened. It must be something sinister, because I guess you were saying that was the cause of your father's suicide. Ok, this is really a heart-touching story and if its true, which I am sure it is, you are surely a hero of your life story, starting from the suppressed and destitute circumstances of Okhaldhunga, all the way to PhD and opulence of Orlando.(I don't know where you are in US, but said Orlando just to rhyme with Okhaldhunga). Anyway, do write about Manju soon, who this thread is all about. Anticipating Manju!!
