The perspective of a Nepali living aboard especially US has nose dived in Nepal especially in Kathmandu, after knowing how people survive here and how people mislead (guff) about their existence in US. I heard someone got married claiming that he has computer science degree and is the Chief Security Officer in a major corporation, only after the marriage the bride found out that the person is a garage attendant. These types of lies and lack of understanding of US living gives a false impression of a Nepali living in US. Having said that there ARE very successful Nepali immigrants with professional careers and living in million, multi million dollar houses (this is the first criteria of success – I guess.) Separating these two extremes is not going to be easy for anyone without knowing the details. This thread does shed a light on some of the stereotypes! Thank you, I enjoyed this thread. -Shiv
