Newuser jee, are you the same man who wrote an interesting story "Chabi harayeko Rat"? From this story what I can guess is that you are really good in literature. The language was very nice . I am very much impressed by your story and your feelings about marriage. Though the story might be fictitious this is the reality of most Nepalese youths.There is no man in the world who does not like to get married. But due to various circumstances it is not possible. In my opinion , the appropriate age for male to get married is around 25-26 and for female is around 22-23. For me, the money is not the problem. Now I have only three months left to finish Masters.Then immediately I will enroll in Ph.D.In Japan Ph.D. course is only for three years.and unlike in the USA it is research based not credit based. So we have to work hard to finish within time. Moreover Japanese societies is more strict thanUS societies.Wehave to show good performance every time. If I go to Nepal to get married, there will certainly be some loss in time. English is not used in Japan. The girl who will come here as my wife will have problem in language to socialize in Japanese societyand feel homesick as I will be busy in my research all the time. Today I have a slightlybitter experience about not getting married. My professer had invited all of the foreign students for dinner at his home. All of us went his home together but in a different way. Others with their beautiful wives and children in a happy mode and me lonely. When we reached his home others's wives helped in kitchen. I just sat smok ing in corner.I wished I had got married... Now what do you suggest? Should I get married now thinking that life is important than education or wait for three years untill I finish my Ph.D.Please advice me taking one position exactly. By the way newuser Jee, where are you from in Nepal? What level are you studying in USA. I am form Jhapa district of Nepal. Neupanejee, ok jee, bhanglidamini jee, Zalim sing jee harulai Namaskar. Please Keep in touch.
