Interesting post Arahat, and very aptly put. This should be a lesson or two for most individuals here who often think an art of posting is too cavalier to be mused upon. Although I have re-read your analysis and am struggling to refute it, I still want to go ahead and put forth my two pennies. Having said that, I also want to bring to your attention that I am neither a sexist nor a male chauvinist, and I am certainly not someone like Rodiohead (refer to the existing post here that refers to Namrata Shrestha) who takes pleasure in defamation.


 


I did not know who Namrata Shrestha was until that infamous sex scandal hit ‘cyberia’, and I am completely unaware about her upbringing and lifestyle. Taken that into consideration, and assuming she thought ‘having sex with a married man’ was cool, she should have been ready encounter the criticism that would ensue, had the video suddenly surfaced in the internet. But it does not seem like in this case, it seems she is not at ease with the outcome, which means she was aware that her act was unethical and which now raises a question mark over her integrity.


 


Infidelity is considered a serious social offense even in radically outgoing societies in the west. Agreed, it was not an infidelity on her part, but she was a major accomplice. And for heaven’s sake we are Nepalese regardless. If we chose to live among the society where we know flags are raised, we might just as well act inhibited or do something behind closed doors and make darn sure none of our acts are exposed.


 


Namrata clearly does not have the lifestyle of Paris Hilton or Kim Kardashian, she is just a poor imitation of those individuals who struggles to make balance between east and west. Again, sleeping with your lover is cool, even accidental exposure of that video could be condoned, but sleeping with a married man and have the video playing in every possible PCs is ‘definitely not cool’. I have nothing against her, but at the same time I will not consider as an ambassador of ‘whateveritis’.
