Newstudent,

I believe my observations rather than those stories published via sponsored journalism. I wont write the names of those US returnees or identify someone to provide evidence just to convince someone in sajha. I only mention names whose names are already in media.

If you think I said every rich man in USA is honest, then you did not properly undertand my opinion. The "Ichhchha Tamang must have evaded tax because he is rich" is your word, not mine. I just said, his published success story is not transparent enough to convince someone properly understand how he is converted to a successful enterpreneour from an unsuccessful lecturer. If you think this is a "jealous mind", then everyone who ask for transparacy in the world are jealous people for you. I don't agree with that idea.

My point is that, do not glorify the so called "success story" that is not transparent. For those people thinking about returning back to Nepal, they have to look both success and failure. My intuition is that chances of failure is higher than success, if you are not accustomed to "Khurafati Kaam".

I am surprised how you get wrong understanding, You wrote
"So, let me understand:
(1) You claim something.
(2) When asked what the basis of your claim is you say it is your own observation. [Apparently there is nothing else to form the basis.]
(3) But you add, this is classic, that you don't claim your observation should be true."

You should also understand
(1) that is my understanding based on my observations
(2) I am sharing my opinion/judgement because that may be helpful to others. Some other might have similar observation but a different opinion, and then there may be a chance to exchange opinions. To explain the basis of my understanding, I need to tell you my observation. I may do if I know you personally, and trust enough that you would respect privacy concerns of the people involved. But in sajha, NO, I don't prefer to tell them all. So, I just say, it is my observation. If you believe it, fine, If you don't, I don't care.
(3) I am not hard-wired to believe that my judgement is always right, that is why I ask people to refute my judgement. If you don't know this, you don't know "bade bade jayete tatwobodha".

And, about going Nepal or not, I have not asked you to suggest. Unasked suggestion is not welcome. Sorry.
