Shukla ji I actually honor you for using the Sjha forum and explaining. It clears lots of things and if the organizers of ANA also do come and start dialoguing. It sounds so much of monologue and absorbing all the charges. Looking at the density of attendee at the forums, I dont see why ANA should invest so much. One can have more personal discussion and fruitful outcome than the "Oral Presentation" which was like book reading. Let me give you an example: The presentation NAC of President Jeet Joshi (I hope I am not offending him and not being personal) If that was an poster presentation, more people would have got acquatented with the work than that mere presentation with non significant attendee. What did that Presentation convery? Well not much ! I had different expectation from his description of postion. Not every body should be allowed to present if you expect some quality. Next time: define and stick to it. Well you guys have the power to change things. If given choice I would opt for the poster and save money, efforts and time from the organizers aspect. 2. Late start; Cultural and geographical pattern, of course. But the organizers did let people at 8:30 too. That kind of thing should not have happened. Did you see the rush because of the delay from the forums, for people to get ready for banquet? I think we will never change and our Nepali attitude will prevail till we get creminated. 3. Kids: Its the parents who are insensitive and not capable to understand. By nature kids are playful/ more later.
