GajjabChaBa,

Love your spirit.

The term 'thinking out of the box' is almost cliche. What I like about what you're saying is that you are asking us Nepalese to 'think out of Nepal.' I think that Nepalese living outside of Nepal can play a big hand in making the kind of 'friendships with other nations' that you're talking about. I don't believe that you need to have an official capacity as an ambassador or a cultural attache to do this. It is just a question of representing the nation in a proper fashion. And you are right, there are many ways to do this. We don't have enough Nepalese living outside of Nepal doing this.

In many ways, if Nepalese made friendships in other nations then our relationship with India and China would be seen in perspective. Because of advances in transportation and communication the world is no longer limited by geography. For us Nepalese to function assuming that our eternal destiny as Nepalese is to ONLY be India and China's bitch, because of our geographical positioning, just does not reflect the reality of the modern world and its opportunities that we live in.

GajjabChaBa, I don't understand this also. Why are we Nepalese not actively seeking out better relationships with other nations?
