@AgniBikram, you've made a good point friend.

It boggles my mind to hear people back in Nepal these days taking about lakhs and crores as if it were petty change. When I was a kid growing up in Kathmandu back in the 90's even buying a motorcycle was a matter of pride, and nowadays, luxury goods get swallowed up like candy.

Until 5 years back even working a menial job in US could afford someone a house and a car in Kathmandu. Now, even with a decent job it's a far cry. I went back to Nepal after 6 years in 2009 and I was in for a huge surprise. Houses, apartment, shopping malls had sprung up everywhere and the upper strata of Nepalis seemed like they were having it good.

However, on the flip side,  I saw that the reality of 95 percent Nepalis was that no matter what they did, they would just be getting by on their rented, mosquito infested 'deras' without a decent job or three meals a day. Most of all, the void was of hope, or rather the lack of it.

If there is one thing that has grown in Nepal in the 2000's, its INEQUALITY. If you're from a wealthy family and have a ropani or two of land inside ringroad, it wouldn't be a bad idea to go back. If you put 1 crore in a bank and you would get 12 lakhs a year in interest. If you're of modest means or you're from rural Nepal, you will want to shoot yourself after a month or two of returning.
