Bored with his software programming job in Minneapolis, Manav decided to go home early one lazy Friday. It was cold winter in Minnesota. He took his car key and left for home. On his way back home, he saw trees with no leaves which looked like as if they are dead skeletons. Such a view can take you to a state of depression especially if you are in Minnesota during winter. Manav had same feeling, and to cope with this nature’s ugly scene, a desire popped up in his mind: a desire to drink hot ginger milk tea. Sounds really good, isn’t it? Especially if you are in Minnesota during winter, you wouldn’t argue about that. Upon arrival to his apartment, he threw his jacket on the couch, frantically ran to the kitchen, opened his fridge and found out that he is out of milk. What a tragedy! His desire for milk tea was very strong so he decided to go to the nearby grocery store to buy milk.
Born and raised in Kathmandu, Manav Acharya, 30 years of age, belongs to an upper middle class strict Brahmin family in Nepal. He completed his +2 in science faculty from VS Niketan and came to the United States for his undergraduate degree. His friends describe him as a happy go lucky person. Manav has a simple dream in his life: to have a successful happy life. He works hard and plays hard. He now works for a software company in Minnesota which pays him very well. Once in a while he complains his programming job saying it is a dry job where you have to create complex codes staring at computer screen for hours. However, he seems happy with his earning potential as he recently bought a new BMW car which he dreamed of.
“And your total comes to twenty eight dollars and eighty cents,” the cashier at the Whole Foods Market in Minneapolis said to Manav giving a gentle smile. He took out his visa card and swiped it. The transaction was over and the cashier once again asked if he would like to keep his receipt. Manav took his receipt, gave her a smile and moved toward the parking lot. As he moved closer to his car, he saw a red Toyota corolla parked just beside his car. He saw a lady inside the car trying to start her car, but the car won’t listen to her and is hibernating like a frog! Subzero temperatures in Minnesota often gives this headache to car drivers and she was just another victim of Minnesota frigid subzero temperature. Manav opened his car door and as he was trying to sit down, the lady opened her car door and requested him if he can do a jump start for her. As she was uttering those words before him, he acknowledged something in her. He felt as if he had heard those tone before; he felt as if he had heard those dialect before. His subconscious was signaling him that she is a Nepali. Human nature is very interesting. A field of evolutionary psychology probed the human mind and found out that we trust our own group members more than that from other groups. A Nepali can figure out another Nepali from a large group provided the person gives some clue and the clue which the lady gave to Manav was pretty strong. A strong Nepali accent was enough for Manav to ask her if she was from Nepal. The lady was very much surprised as Manav found out where she is from. By the way, “I am Sneha. What’s your name?” She asked him with a cute smile. Manav was also surprised, because how often you meet a Nepali person in a parking lot in Minneapolis? “I am Manav,” he kindly answered her query.

She has an undergraduate degree from UCLA in Clinical Psychology and works for the University of Minnesota in a Cognitive Psychology lab. Her father is a businessman and owns 6 jewelry shops in Nepal.
