Nepalis in West Virginia

Hi! I have just moved to West Virginia, that land of mountains in the United States of America. It looks like I am in Nepal. The lakes and moutains around me, feel like I am in my own homeland. Last one year, I enjoyed the beauty of Virginia. I was in Virginia Tech (http://www.vt.edu) as Visiting PT Faculty/Scholar. That was wonderful indeed to be within the large crowd of students in the middle of the campus: the drill field. It reminded me the Roorkee University campus in Roorkee, now IIT, Roorkee. I am really indebted to the Nepali Faculty in VT and student community who made my first year of US stay wonderful and nice and memorable in various aspects. It was like a virgin, touch for the first time feeling. I could see the southern US, southern Accent and southern weather. As early as I crossed the New River Valley and entered into West Virginia, I find it some other feeling a bit different from what I saw in Virginia. Now, here in WV, I am willing to extend my network of friendship with fellow Nepalis especially those in WV. So that we can meet regularly and exchange information and sukh-dukh ka kura to info on Nepal. We can explore what we can do while we are in WV to Nepal and Nepalis in WV and in Nepal. If there are some organization like society or association in WV, please let me know. I am interested to be part of it. Rest later.
