Have you ever cried for your country?

I am just tired of Nepalis who act like a bhijeko lutey kukkur and give so much credence to anything a foreigner has to say, even if that foreigner is some half-assed, arrogant, fifteen year old kid. C'mon people, have some self dignity. Sure, some of the stuff the kid may ring true. But don't let a teenager walk all over you. Are we so "gaye-gujreko" that we believe every insult, slander, slap on the face by a foreigner, that too a kid who looks down upon us based only on his 1 month stay in Nepal, and still we "lurukka parera" admit and say " yes, we are pretty much the maggots." Yes, we have to be able to take constructive criticisms positively, but is this essay really that? If an official World Bank report states that these are the points that Nepalis should work on based on that and that statistics, then that would be different. But a kid who has not even finished high school dares to slap us around, and some of us are still thankful to him. Wake Up People. Have some self respect.
