'Pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and work together to rebuild'

Heartbeat,

While I agree with everything but....remember these were immigrants and why people migrate - for better quality of life that inlcudes food, shelter and survival. Redskins or red Indians are the indigenous people of America and today as you said, by staying put and workign together, today, we have a son of immigrant become the most powerful person of the world. While the redskins are confined in reservation pocekts scattered in the south. While the whites nearly exterminated them and rose to power, colored people were brought here as secondary citizens. However, today, history has been created. 

Now, I am afraid if Nepal will have to face similar situation 30-40 yrs down the road. Today, we have 3-4 million indian origin immigrants they have already got fair share of the government. You think we will have a bihari for PM in the next decade or so? I cannot even imagine.

Also, I tottaly agree with your cream pastures. Yes, Nepal has massive brain drain. And we always complain, whine, bitch about our corrupted govt. etc? One man make a difference. A single soul can inspire change and the rest will follow.

As for offsprings, I cannot say or predict. They are the master of their own life. However, we as individuals can at least play our part. We are small group of friends who grew up and went to school together are graually working to make a small difference. I would urge every nepali to do so.
