i am very sad with this news cause this brave guy was my friend.

i learned only when i phoned home 2 days ago.

I feel absolutely disgusted with the fact that my friend is here no more.

Yubraj Rai was a man of action. He was simple and honest guy.

Because of the lack of opportunity in the country, he seek employment with the British Army.

But he love Nepal so much that he once told me that he gonna run an election when he return from the army.

He wanted to get rid of dirty mofo netas. He eventually wanted to settle in Nepal but now i will never see him again.

here's the link to this great man. Permalink: http://blog.newsweek.com/blogs/soldiershome/archive/2008/11/24/video-first-gurkha-to-die-in-afghanistan.aspx

Ironically i am proud to say that his death has immortalised the Gurkha's name.

RIP Yubraj Rai
