Mero maiti Gaun ta ritto bhai sakyo. Sabai nepali ketaharu Bidesh ma kamuna ra padna gaekale tyaha nepali yuwaharu paunai garo bhai sakyo. Ke garne Nepal ma Jajeer pauna kati garo . Paye pani paisa dherai kamti, pariwaar palna ra ramro bhawishya ko lagi bedesh palayan hunu pardo rahechha.

Amazing mero budo bhatij ke chha hal-chal?? Reen ma dubiyo are!! Ghati herera had nilnu parcha bhanne arti ta Ab auntie le bhatij lai samjhaunu panre bela bhayechha nee.

well, one obvious reason to go back to nepal is because it is "OUR" country and we are obliged to help her prosper in every possible way. Think about the brain drain too. Every year, thousands of kids get enrolled in some foreign institution for further studies and if they don't go back to nepal at some point of their life, then who would be left back in nepal?

well, right now the situation nepal is not so desirable for a peaceful living but everything must come to an end....I mean this dirty games of politics and power struggle should come to an end.

I am going back for sure and so should you.

I like Nepal only because I was born there, I dont like NEPALI CULTURE, I dont like Nepal ka ghus khane manis, Kura katne aaimai, chamcha giri garne manchhe, til lai pahad banaune samaj. So many things I HATE abt NEPAL..............tara pani tyastai ho... Nepali ko chhora hu, maya lagchha........

Aunty le malai Budho Bhatij Bhanya?? Umer kai kura garne ho bhane tapai bhanda ta sanai rahechhu, I can gess ur age, u being already mom means at least 22+ ta hunu bho hola ki kaso????

Serioulsy why did u get married so early? Ki Sapana ko Rajkumar lai chhito nai bhetera ho?

Bhatij jee yo + chahi aklik milena 19 years ma behe gare pachi 20 ma mom banne bittikai 22+ hudaina ke???

I came to US two 30 dec. 2001 ( I mean one day before 2002). got married after a year (2003). NO you can feel free to calculate my age. I am not ashamed re kya.........

amazing bro, jaba dekhi accidnet ko kura sunya taba dekhi sajhako bareymaa thaha paye maile rey kya.

ajha guff gardai garaula ni.
adios

Dalli resham, congratulations on your marriage to a U.S citizen. We are honored to have a American jwaii..

thank U.

Nepal: Not an ideal place to experiment with newer social ideas. Nepal is a closed society often very hostile to foreign social experiments but very warm and receptive to foreign luxury. A big NO from my side.

US: A society that is becoming socially more and more conservative. A society plagued by greed, guns and subsequently crimes. The phrase 'Land of free' is be better suited to be used for "political satire" rather than in US national anthem. The society that offers nothing for free and the society where people are losing individual freedoms more than ever. A big disappointing NO from my side.

Well said Khaobaadi.

Khaobadi,

Not all of US is like that. There are good people here as well who respect people of different nationalities. If that was not the case than you and I would not be here. You are not doing justice by labeling all of US as a typical red neck.

Why do you call Nepal a closed society? Why is it closed?
It is hostile to foreign social investments, huh?? Please write more about "foreign social investments" which countries are socially investing for social change in Nepal and how it is hostile towards those investments!

>Receptive to foreign luxury
Which country/society doesn't? What does Nepal produce that can be consumed as luxury?

Nepali in general, are open to other ideas. You can go back to history and find how different faiths lived together, how people of different social values and systems accepted each other. (Lets leave छुवा/छुत out of this discussion, as that is a separate subject)

buttom Line is Green Card; if we get green card, USA is the best and wow! other wise, US is sucks because of rising racisim, resentment toward Immigrants, and put us on trap for not letting to meet our family. As Patrick Henry said "give me liberty or give me death", let's cheeeeeeeeeeer, green card is near( may be in 3 yrs, once Hilari win, our green cards will handyyy. We just need to say to our parents or love one that please wait for 3 more yrs.) Bush won twice, but broke his promise, we believe hilari clinton had study in yale University probably read everything including Patrick Henry's quote.

US, is becoming more and more conservative, religious and less tolerant to new immigrants. If you came to US before 9/11, you can feel a big difference in environment since then that has become less friendly to foreigners; from immigration laws to scholarship and grant opportunities to just the way Americans view foreigners, they have all changed from 9/11. And yes in my opinion America is a country where people are socially isolated from each other, heavily money minded, workaholic, country of abundance and waste.

On the other hand, I disagree that nepali society is that open to new ideas. How often do we hear, �America ma padheyo bhendai ma khub furti lauchha� or something similar when one tries to give an open mind suggestions to people in Nepal? How often do we hear �Kuriney chapera baskeo raichha, green card ko lagi� when a nepali dates white? And while we brag about how tolerant we are religiously as Hindus and Buddhist have lived peacefully in Nepal; let me tell you, Hindus and Buddhist are not that different. Both are tolerant religions with many similarities. So there�s very less to fight about. Just because someone is a Nepali and loves Nepal, it doesn�t mean he/she like every aspect of nepali culture. Like any other culture, there are good and bads, and while one tries to avoid what he/she perceives as bad, he/she is very often labeled or blamed to as �American bheyacha�, �Phurti Lagaudo raicha,� �esta ley key hamra kura bhuchhan,� and many more.

I agree with both of you to some degree and disagree to the most part. You have also cited some examples which are not uncommon but on the same token you need to look into other cultures as well before condemning our own. Look into any ethnic culture outside Nepal, understand them their views and compare it with Nepali culture, than you will know what I mean.

There are people to whom I have the same feeling that you have mentioned above. Once they are back from America they treat other Nepalis as second class citizens. I have seen those, sadly some are related to me, of course I stay away from them.

I am not here to say that what ever we do is good. That is not what I am saying. All I am saying is understand your own culture before you speak against it.

I am not saying that just Buddhist and Hindus live together and that's our only culture. I had been to the different parts of the country when I was back home and have seen people of other faith being listened to. When I asked one of the elders why he was listening to that person of other faith he said "all faiths are created by god. if other faiths exist means that he (god) wanted them to exist, I am only listening to what other faith is that does not mean that I will change my faith" This statement is coming from someone who is walking on the street, a most common person you can find in Nepal. Where else can you find such a profound acceptance of other faiths in the world??
