I must have left my sense of humor at the dry cleaners this morning because I hear more  grieving and kvetching than genuine laughter on this thread. 

Rasika Kancchi,

If I understand this correctly, one one hand you broad stroke all Nepali guys very unflatteringly and on the other hand you want those same guys to forget everything you said and  fight your battles like they are your foot soldiers? Why would they do that? Most of them  don't have any skin in this game.  If the idea is to shame and humiliate others to pick up the cudgels for you and clean up the mess you have created so that you can salvage your  ego, people can see right through it and are not going to fall for it. That, more than anything else,  might explain the lack of participation on this thread by others - guys and girls alike.  If you start a fight and want to win it, either you need to win it with your own intellectual and emotional wherewithal or inspire (not coerce, shame or humiliate) others to join forces with you. At least that is I how I see it. Using guilt, innuendoes,  barbs and  shame to coerce others into doing your dirty work is  a losing tactic and doesn't work.

Trying to make this someone else's problem wont solve it or make it go away.
