I have read all of these postings and can?t believe what nonsense they are. Instead of disgracing the Nepalese heritage and community with low-class, rude, crude, and insulting comments, you should use your energy to do something good and productive for the community. Instead of allowing your broken egos to cause you to become bitter, vengeful people, you should focus your energy on making our society better. As for the Pradhans and Joshis, whose names have been maligned in these messages, I know you and know the good you have done for the Nepalese people in Los Angeles and Nepal for many years. The comments made by some misguided individuals in these postings are not shared by the community. They are made by shameful people who have had bad upbringings, are disrespectful, and incapable of resolving their conflicts and disagreements in a thoughtful and appropriate way. They embarrass our community. Dashain commemorates a great victory of the gods over the wicked demons. Let us all evoke the goddess Durga to defeat the evil that has been spewed by the ill-mannered people on this message board. I will not be reading or contributing to this detestable message board again and I suggest that the rest of you do the same.
