San dai,

We come from a very poor country. A very poor country. We Nepalese are used to getting beaten up. We all have to work in foreign countries because we cannot afford to stay in our own nations. So you would think that sense of humour would come naturally to us. I think us Nepalese, our greatest problem is that we don't know how to laugh at ourselves. Our egoes are way too big for our mouths. Now, if our mouth became wider to laugh at ourselves than our ego, then we Nepalese would be in the right shape.

Why have we Nepalese forgotton to laugh at ourselves? Why do we take ourselves so seriously? Why take ourselves so damned seriously?

We Nepalese have braved through the Rana Sasan, Panchayat kal, all because of our sense of humour. Where have we lost that sense of humour?

The medicine that we need for most of our problems is a sense of humour. If we all just laughed more, I feel it would solve most of the problems of Nepalese all over the world.

Where ever Nepalese go in the world, they struggle. What we need to help each other develop is a thicker skin. Let us help our brothers and sisters laugh at themselves before anyone else does. Let us show what Gorkhalis are made of to the world. We are made of mountains within us. And we can hate on ourselves way more and better than anyone else can.

This struggle is not limited to any one Nepali. It is all of our collective struggle. The only way to survive it is togethor. All of us are responsible for making each other stronger. Today it is him. Yesterday it is her. And tomorrow it will be yet another. At the end of the day you have to tell the world, do what I may, but I am a Nepali. There is nothing new to how you are treating me. I have taken a lot worse for a lot less.

I am a Nepali. I was born to suffer. And as much as I suffer, I have it way better than my brothers and sisters suffering in my own country.

If I am to suffer, let me suffering be an inspiration to the people of my nation. If my blood is to run, let it guide the way to truth. If you will rip me assunder, then let the bones of my body make my country wealthier. I am a Nepali. Being any less, is not acceptable to me.

Nepal Mata ki jaya!


Think of all the kaam garne's in homes all over Kathmandu. Think of how they are treated. Think of all the Khates on the streets of Nepal. How do we Nepalese treat them? Think of every poor and powerless guy out there. How is their teeth kicked in by the more powerful amongst us. Who is their protection?

Do they have a SAN dai to protect them? Do we have a SAN dai who kicks out all the bullies from Nepal who mistreats these folk?
