Ma pani add garu hai....im one kale and a newcomer in the western hemisphere...learning many things including art of living in the land rigged by interstate highways...and of course im learning the decency thing also, but, unfortunately, its happenning in an area where one would find Caucasians tilling the hills...they call it kentucky for me its kendara...tyasaile ali uncultured nai chu teipani i just cant hold myself when things are on the tip of tongue...so kindly be little enduring Ok let me come to the point and raise a question before Maverick vis-à-vis this part of his post “ I got the same kind of perceptions on ‘sajha’ regarding the Prashant Tamang and Indian idol. I got the feeling that we are trying to promote a person (a foreign national) in the name of nationalism. It is tough for me to discern the statement like, “If you don’t like Prashant, then you are not a Nepali.” Agreed, that he is a good singer; but the fact is that he is in a competition, in his country, in his country’s national language.” I think you were talking about the nationality issue, and i got the impression that hey its not our matter or he is not one of us. If so, like Sanjaya, what should I do if a US born nepali finds birth in American idol gala round? PS: aafno kura kina lekhya hola na bhannuhola brother...we have all the time to talk about it...goodnight
