streetboy, I have two opinions about your comment on ANA. At first, when I read your first comment, I thought myself being at times thinking about diminishing nepali culture...but after going through your third comment with the picture of a girl, i was kind of sad that you pointed out an individual...anyway, the whole point was that i did not like the way you posted a picture of an individual which was more of a personal comment rather than a "diminishing nepali culture" comment... i don't have a personal opinion on any of the replies here except one (jhyalincha's): "go find yourself a gunyu choli wearin, with tori ko tell splattered hair, unshaved armpit/legs and unshowered in a month, callused hands and feet, but as truly Nepalese as they come in your books and live happily ever after" reading this, I feel a bit offended because this is what my grandmothers were like...and yours too (if I get it right)...what if girls like those are smarter than the girls wearing short skirts, shaving their armpit/legs??? this is not just an assumption, there are girls in the rural parts of nepal who do not have as good opportunities as we do...I do not know why, but I was truly sad after reading your above comment thinking that “if one nepali does not value, rather criticizes gunyu choli, how can we expect others to respect and like nepal?” By this, I do not mean to say that I am against modern dresses or the new changes, but my point is, if we can not keep up wearing those dresses because we are modernizing, at least do not criticize our OWN ORIGIN.
