So, Agni, what's your proposition? Everyone should abandon Kathmandu and move away? Is that what your suggestion?

You are making so many assumptions, I don't know where to start. What makes you think I am living in the states and far from knowing the reality of KTM? In fact, I am not comfortable with your stress on the fact that you live in KTM. How do we know that? For all I know, you seem to know a great deal about the states. In any case, let's put these irrelevant things (like I live here, you don't know anything, etc etc) away. Let's focus on hard facts.

Lots of people who are super smart make small amount of money. Tons of math professors in the states make a pittance in comparison to the MBAs. So on and so forth, you know.

In any case, please be more optimistic about our life in Nepal. It does have great future.

And yes, lots of people , PhDs from MIT, Berkeley, Harvard or other top universities live in KTM, happily. I have met quite a few of them. You need to have a purpose in life. You should try to transform society. Barring that, all you are hoping for is a life where you serve white people so that you can ride on their cars and their vehicles, then, I am sure USA is a right place to aim for.
