What's wrong with Texas.....I have been here for almost 8 years and I have always felt welcomed in here. Not to mention, I started out in the graveyard shift in the gas station in Houston.....I used to be always aware of the surroundings.....I don't mean to take anything away from Shekhar.....loosing a soul (especially Nepali) is very sad.....immediately after I read the (sad) news, I made few calls to see if I knew the poor soul....whole day I was thinking about this incident..... Some poor soul thinks and dreams big about life in US.....and unluckily he has to be on the other side of gun...... I know the living is inexpensive in Texas that doesn't mean that this is bad state to live...If you don't live, please don't try to convey that this is bad state.....yeah ! some people had a bad experinces.....it might be their luck....I have always been happy here...... Peace to the soul..... Hope the culprit will be in jail soon..... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Ram Prasad~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
