Hmm  interesting, i will be happy when they find primeminister and constititution. His success is not mine neither Obama's success is mine .You can generalise everybody success as yours, which is nice of yours but why dont we try to live in reality rather than theoritical lectures. I bet nobody would concern  where he ends after Harvard or before harvard if this individual was introduced here OR was not from nepal. That is solely his success and Sajhaleaks i sure did not know where obama graduate from , why would i need to know, none of my buisness to know where he graduated or went to school, but was just wondering how many people knew about it which i figured out most of us would know it huh. Do you know where Dr. Baburam Bhattarai went to school then? Again you might track students of Harvards always end up in something big and students from trichandra will always end up teaching colleges in Nepal  but i dont care where you get degree from, I care what you have done after or with that degree.


The whole point of mine is stress on SCHOOL you go or where you come from? I know big companies prefer graduates from these school but general public  " Jai Jai Kars" for graduates from these expensive and one saying hard school to get in  is just being overrated. And graduates themselves from these school dont count others as an student. IF you are doing PHD from university of oklohoma ( I dont know it offers or not but just an example) then you would not care that much but if somebody does from Harvard then He is more successful than other PHD fellow because of the name of institution.


Do you mean Doctor or Engineers from university of nebraska are less qualified than universities like this. Is not there specific requirements be done to get these degrees. Education has been commercialised and totally advertised. Now these institutions are changing face of college education. The expensive and high rated college you go, the more smart you are , more paid jobs you are getting although you are same qualification and degree. Its not fair game. A "A" student is a student whether he graduates from Trichandra or Harvard. You are being sold because of your certificate ( institute you get certificate from) not because of contribution and qualification.


Again, the reason these universities are overrated because of general public like us. Millions apply thousand get in to those universities, but does that mean remaining student who applied are dumb. Same person Dr Pukar Malla would be treated different if he had same degree from another university by you guys. Now think about this.


People, it is nice of your to embrace other success in your arms but real world is different. Theoritically, I will say i am proud but Pukar malla's success getting in Harvard has nothing to do with general publics success. I see him as an individual not as whole country. Individaul successes are theirs although you might put sweet words and clap your hands. Again, noone knows the future but we gotta wait for right time to say he made us proud.


Every individual persons success is your success ( again why only Mr. Malla, every citizens of Nepals success should be your success, what you call success ( depends). Vague.


Thanks guys for the response.
