gwajyo, Enlighten me about me saying that you get money for writing on sajha.com. Its for me to know and for you to guess what fills my pocket with $$$. It might be slavery or bravery. Dont blame people like me for Nepal's situation. Its people like you who make these so called politicians stronger and bigger than they actually are. This is not the thread for this discussion so I will let it be. I would also like to echo highfly's comment about the US will not want to have a treaty with Nepal, and its mainly because Nepal has nothing to contribute to this treaty. You can write letters and emails, there are plenty of trashcans (both in the real and the virtual world) to "file" those bickering. And, Mr. ss74k, when I wrote "you" I was not attacking you personally. I am also a part of that you and it also signifies my ineptness when I say we have been able to achieve nothing in last century and more. What I mean by humility is that we need to come in terms with our reality. If WE dont work for our better lifestyle, no one will. We don't want to live like a bum do we? Theres another way to this problem apart from the tax treaty. Why don't we make a conscious effort to make more money than the fellow friends from India or China? What I mean by being humble, i.e is responding to that reality of ours in positive ways. It almost feels like we need someone else to do something for us. Thats a pretty sad way to live. Why can't we be the one doing things to others so that we are in control and not others? Why is it that we are so small in mentality and creativity that it often seems like we cant even fend for ourselves.
