Hulaki, The timings could not be better for you. You did witnessed the difference in city and rural life style in matter of days and the question you have raised here is noteworthy. Having said that, I donot condemn what "haves" tend to do, that "have not's" can't do in our society. The difference between "have" and "have not's" is just the way it has been since ages. Its not just capitalistic society, the gap between have's and havenot's is but obvious even in socialist societies as well. It depnds upon individual and they should always have right to spend their money the way" they want." After all thats what is called property rights , isn't it??? if you bust your azz off to earn that, you should be able to spend it the way you want. Coming back to your second point, Wedding of Nepstrians, by the way I liked the way you coined that term, "Nepstrians" or "Nepricans". Its really sad to see this happen these days. My heart goes out for those parents who sell their daughter(s) to be a servant in someone elses house.... Pathetic!!Just cant figure out why the f@@k they pay money to get their daughter(s) married. Cant they just beat the shit out of the guy who asks for money and(for) wife together??? I sure do hope this is just an isolated incident. May be that answers your last question, "what the f#$%^ have they learnt??"
