Nepali Sahila, have you seen "us" nepali being religious consious anytime? don't you think we are hollow from inside in such matters? to tell you the truth, HINDUSIM is saved by few SOUTH INDIANS and BUDDISM is saved by few Tibetians. That is all. don't you think so? Now, what could be expected from Nepali Kids especially in U.S - land of freedom- more than that? I am also tired of trying to defend and say DO THIS & DON'T DO THAT. who would listen? At least, they are there to represent Nepali Community. And, helping Neps when in trouble. as for example, in past - Fund raising program for BADHI PIDIT in 2002, Fund raising program few months back - for 3 kids died in St. James and others. I am happy these Kids are drinking and having fun. and doing other duties as well. I want to see the +VE sides only. I understand what you wanted to say, but unfortunately we can't change the whole world. However, one can change oneself. Thant is all. Don't you think so, Saila? -BD
