 Jhapaliketo,

It seems like you are looking for your benefit --without even attending ANA convention. 

Look, no one is going to offer you any benefit. Organizations or conventions like these are offering services to people who want these services. If you don't want, they are not forcing you to have these services.

What kind of services are they? Well, my first trip to ANA convention was to meet fellow Nepali, because just to find out there are other fellow Nepalese like me around was a nice feeling. I was willing to spend more than 200 dollars in travel alone to go to the convention. I crashed at someone's apartment. And the convention felt good.

The second time I went, I wanted to meet a girl who could have been my prospective wife. She was sweet, and for me, it turned out to be a good investment. It was clear to me that a lot of men of my age had an experience not similar to "The March Of Penguin" type-- we marched long to find soulmate. There is no bound on how much people are willing to pay or spend for such experience:)

ANA conventions normally are fun. I hope they take care of the organization well, and run it well. It is by now a cultural event. We don't have to travel very far to meet our own people. And yet, every once in a while, ANAko bahanama we can travel far, and meet many people under the same roof.

If you are not using these services,  please don't blame others for not 'benefitting' you.
