Interesting discussion...let's not make Nabin Bhattarai and other artists wait until they are dead or dying to shower them 'nanatharika" accolades. We have a tendency of doing that. Budha athawa mare pachi maatra " swor samrat" whatever... Khaos na ali ali hamro artists harule...if you make 5.50 or 6 bucks, well like someone DrD said, you better just stay home or quit smoking or drinking. Let them eat cake. Hamro artist haruko alikato shan hos na.. Let them be proud that they are Nepali artists and they have a community they can show off and count on either in MN or anywher else. Its time we took care of our own even if it requires great sacrifice of paying 2.50 cents extra than 3 years ago. k'dude
