Unknown although I don't know you..... you have my applause.YES,these bunch of oppurtunists "tauke" have nothing else to do.Association this ??Organization that?Plain talk.In my opinion what I have seen in these associations and their members they sort of miss that "status quo " while they were living back in Nepal and look for the ways to re-feel it outside Nepal.Some of them still have this rear-end kissing tendency esp. to the foreigners. Do you think they care?Its waste of time and energy and ofcourse money to organize gatherings.I know some of the Nepalese who came looking for the president of one of the organization in DC who was blood related to him.The president or whoever simply lied to that gentleman that he had moved.Finally we the "Kalimatians" thats what we use to call ourselves becuase we lived like the indian migrants living in "kalimati" in the area gave him shelter.The gentleman who lied was the a senior member of that organization which was established on the basis of helping nepalese.Give me a break...... These are the frontline hypocrites....the short-cut hunters for power.
