Yes, J G i am thapa magar/mohegan. I don't know any thapa magar from above places you have mentioned. The only magar i know live in Germantown, Maryland. I know them beacause i attended same school as their daughter. Thx for your blessing. bbgurl its so weird about your posting. Are you trying to degrade mother? well you are fortunate that you have your mom but i am not. I didn't get to hear bedtime stories or lullaby from my mom. There are lots of thing a child especially girls need from mom. You know what i am talking about. Growing up i have to rely on my school teachers or my inexperience advices of my friend. If, as u have stated a mom can be hire than you will see me first on line. I know, u may have said it in humor but there is time for everything as in nepali its said KHANA PAYEN BHANDAIMA KHANA HUNDAINA BASNA PAYEN BHANDAIMA THYAANCHA BASNA HUNDAINA BOLNA PAYEN BHANDAIMA PYACHA BOLNA HUNDAINA natra aafno boli le aafailai polcha saying this i myself also in fault cuz i shouldn;t have brought this up in this public site. It is my personal thing since i brought it so should have been ready for getting shot but still please. I just post my feeling of suffocation cuz my mom passed away on 10/29/94. Eventhough i lost both of my parents in a span of 3 days but i am lucky enough to have a brother( he is my half brother, we share same dad but different mom). My brother took a great care of me. He is my mother, father he is like a god to me. This is the reason why i have so high respect of nepali people especially Nepali Gentlemans'. with love and peace
