Riten, Sorry. I just read my earlier posting. I meant to reply to "bibas100" (whoever s/he is) and NOT you. That said, look, posting on Sajha can be like being a fully devoted player of some combat sport. After all, these are NOT discussions taking place in some Senior Common Room with port and sherry flowing around. These are hand-to-hand combats, literally. I have enough seriousness in my 'mainstream' life, but I do welcome this occasional diversion, this charged, electric, bare-knuckle atmosphere of Sajha because I have seen/experienced and understood that if you want to get something done in Nepal, merely being a well-liked but dithering gentleman-idiot will ensure that you accomplish nothing. You gotta fight the fight; be prepared to make some enemies, and not be deterred by them . . . for doing anything 'worthwhile' in Nepal invites some people to be your enemies. That's the reality. Since I did NOT grow up getting into bar-room brawls and street fights and gang wars and all that (I know, my life was/is boring :-( I take Sajha as a quiet vehicle to test the limits of what's possible, what's not and why. To me, Sajha remains a priceless educational opportunity in human behaviour, and I come back again and again for that excellent education! I see TRUE faces of people here that I know I'll never see in lives they present to me in their real lives. Fortunately, since I use my own name and take FULL responsibility for all my postings, I have nothing to fear here, nothing to pretend about, and nothing to impress anyone with anything . . . it's that liberating freedom, that freedom to be authentic about myself that I cherish the most about Sajha. The thing I like the most about Bhagat is that whatever he is, he is playing himself in his real life. That kind of authenticty is something I dig. oohi ashu oohi ashu
