It's good NOT to be to have "been recognized well . . . by Nepalese establishment". I have seen many good people in Nepal becoming bad, khattam and jhoor and just plain lazy AFTER being recognized "by Nepalese establishment." So, I would not worry too much about Nepalis doing some fo the most interesting work not being recognized by the home-grown establishments . . . All things being equal, better to remain somewhat insecure, and continue to do one's work in a better and better manner -- knowing fully well that the day you consider yourself "established" in nepal, your doom will be near. Just my evolving thoughts -- after several years of quietly following the careers of initially remarkable people in Nepal who went on to be, well, quite unremarkable after they started throwing the weight of their "established" status. :-) oohi ashu
