i was expecting people from all walk of life yesterday..but not much gathering, especially IT walas.....by the way I happeped to stop in one of nepali family's apartment few weeks ago..and asked them how is Dashain here?...it will be my first time so i m excited..r u guys coming? then he said "pahila ek choti gaiyo tes pachi gaiyeko chaina..khasai ke huncha ra?" if all of us say "khasai ke huncha ra?" then there wont be any progress in nepali community here in bay area...like Mani Nepali jee's bhasan "hami haruley bhaichara ko bikas garnu cha......" (in a similar tone of Madhav Kumar Nepal)... that will remain only in words....
