Guys,
I was reading a new york times article

http://www.nytimes.com/2008/07/03/business/03bayou.html?_r=1&ref=business&oref=slogin

and saw the reporter's name as Abha Bhattarai. Sounds like a Nepali name to me. Now, I am not  saying it is a big deal or something. But NYTimes Reporter's job could lead to a prominent position in a society if she continues to rise up the ladder. Furthermore, it always feels good when a Nepali transcends his/her traditional areas (engineering/doctor/gas station attendant/student) and becomes visible, such as Kiran Chhetry. I have a feeling that second generation Nepali will be much more prominent, and they may , probably, love Nepal more than we first generation people do!:)
