Hey Astititwa team, Kudos to you guys for bringing these type of article in open. We are talking about it and that means you have been able acheived part of your goals. I hope we can come up with more contemporary life stories of Nepal. The issue is we tend to ignore our realities. Finally the societies around the world are begining to accept their lives they see in the mirror... Dove is using real women to market their lotion. In Europe it's become a great hit...NO more the slick 6' slim models... Our society which has evolved tremendously over the past 20+ years needs to be seen as is. I can't even walk around Durbar Marg on Friday's or Sat day... bunch of women/pimps out on the streets prowling for customer. Once I conducted an informal interview with a woman who looked like she came from a decent family and she did.. her story was, her man was working outside nepal and she was simply bored with her life.. I also came across pimps who are pimping women who are simply ignored by their husbands. Isn't it ironical that the street where the king resides is one of the most infested streets in KTM. We all enjoy the reality TV but when we start viewing our own realities, it turns into nuisance. I think the our realities will be more interesting than Ozzy cussing left and right on MTV. I hope you guys can bring more and more realities that will urge people to reflect on the realities around them. One of the most fascinting thing i saw when i was in Nepal 2 weeks ago was number of transvesdikes that are around Rani Pokhari after 12PM. That was one of the most shocking events i had witnessed..guess what that was the reality. ciao
