do-not-remember-me bro/sis, here's my rationale to the selection of my nick. ===== since so many, now including you, have asked this, let me clarify about my nick. of course there are millions of nicks i could have chosen but why LooTeKuKur? see, i am a very weak person at heart. :P. i have always tried to look upon things from the viewpoint of underdogs, people who are suppressed and/or manipulated by the so called privliged groups of people. when i think of nepal or south asia for that matter, things that come to my mind are dalits, women, janajatis, madhise and so on. our feudal society have suppressed and used them for ages. animals, especially street dogs, are part of that feudal society i believe. look at pets here in US and look at our street dogs. why such a huge difference in their lives? what is their fault? just because they are born in nepal or india? that's not fair! through my nick, i have attempted to voice their feelings, opinions that they might have. it's a pain to be born in an unjust society as ours. since sajha, as its name stands for, welcome and cordially respect views from all kinds of people, be it privileged or suppressed, i am humbled to have gotten this opportunity to represent that oppressed sect of our society. hence the nick LooTeKuKur. :P LooTe PS. you can call me loote, kukur or lootekukur. it really does not matter. i am what i am-- a representative of underdogs, i believe. :P
