If the Federal reserve were to declare gold as "worthless", Gold wouldn't be so expensive. Gold is nothing but an object that has been universally used to store a value. Further, Gold isn't easily available. But if our ancestors ( by that not only Nepali but the Romans, Egyptians and Chinese too ) had sought to declare another substance as equally precious, Gold wouldn't be that highly expensive.

Having said all that, this is too damn sad and I'm really embarrassed. If a girl's family can afford to bid farewell by sending the family's daugther(s) laden with necklaces, jewelleries and precious stones, I don't object but this is ridiculous. Certainly an area where Nepalese society could work on!

The woman on top looks gorgeous but somehow, I feel the excessive jeweleries devalue her worth. Its really sad that women are still valued and weighed as "objects"!
