Riten, It's fine if it does NOT matter to you whether I write in my real name or not. It DOES matter to me. And, going by the evidence, it matters to a lot of other non-Riten Sajha visitors too, for -- time-permitting -- I ENJOY, on the side, helping them with their various Nepal-related questions and other "if-I-can-help-I-WILL-help" sort of concerns related to their lives and goals. Sajha may be an anonymous place and a dark land, but the ruling currencies are all about (a) credibility, (b) authenticity, and (c) honesty about who you are. If saying that comes across as being 'holier-than-thou' to you, so be it. As for having so-called skeletons in my so-called closet, be my guest, yaar. On a historical note, from since all past attempts, since 2000, to smear me on Sajha with utter garbage have repeatedly backfired or blown up in the face of the accusers these 'threats' about 'exposing your skeletons' mean NOTHING to me, for there are NONE. If there were, the skeletons must have walked away without my knowledge, for I see none. Those who know me, those who have worked with me, and those who hire me and those who put me on their personal and professional teams know this quite well. My sense is that: Only those who don't know me, or are jealous of me or simply can't stand me for whatever reason have the worst things to say about me with ZERO proof and without ever havinh met me or worked with me. To paraphrase Pire from other context, Some Nepalis abroad can't stand Nepalis like themselves doing well in Nepal and elsewhere, and have to bad-mouth the latter with garbage they can't prove by using their own real names. But that's something to be expected when dealing with highly insecure fellow-Nepalis. oohi "comfortable being himself -- then and now" ashu
