Well, I could not see this thread for whole day. Days at Rampur were wonderful excluding politics. Himalaya, I tried my best to disassociate myself with the dirty politics during my stay at IAAS both as a student as well as a faculty. Thanks Gator_guy to write good words about me. I hope I haven't made mistake to guess who you are. Are you back at the University or still enjoying new life in Nepal? I really enjoyed my last trip to Florida. I still remember that friendly encounter with you at the hallway.... ha ha.... I have a story of IAAS stay which was on Sajha two years ago. It's not true, but it reflects the situation.
