Old English has a point. I think it's the romanticism of the past or the latent "home sick" feeling. Alike most sajhaites, I too think of returning after my masters. But, then the thought of it scares me. I can live with load-shedding, water-issues etc. (afterall, we spent most of our lives that way, it wouldn't be hard to get back in form). What does scare me is the state of lawlessness. We have been accustomed to breathe the "free" air, exercise our "freedom of speech" and when anything goes wrong (ambulance, fire and especially police), we know we can rely on the state. In Nepal, anything can happen. That word, "anything" scares the s!#t out of me!
