Kudos to Bhawani jee.

I ain't an engineer but I think it is wrong to put this word as suffix to any profession. Sound Engineer, Software engineer, production engineer..c'mon they ain't no engineer.

Congratulations to Bhawani Sapkota for job well done!

Kiddo, if they ain't no engineer, what are they? What suffix do you suggest should be used?
ashu Posted on 08-May-04 06:37 PM

Congratulations to Mr. Sapkota!!

It's always great to hear good things about fellow Nepalis' success in and out of Nepal.

Bramha
I don't have problem with engineer. It is just that I thought there are only either Mechanical, Electrical, Chemical or Civil Engineer. They put 'Engineer' behind everybody now, Sound Engr, Program Engr, Decoration Engr, Software Engr as if the word 'Engineer' has no value at all.

WAY TO GO!! MR. SAPkota mero SALAM CHA hajurlai!

haha kiddo good point there man.. :)

Thanks d_n for posting it here, and for rest of you for your kind words and congratulations. It was also kind of good to learn engineer's definition, once again.

On the other hand, it is so sad to see what our country is currently going through. Let's hope that there will be peace before we are too old, and we will be able to help (or server) or motherland better.

Thanks again, everyone!

Bhawaniji:

Congratulation. Btw, did you go to Tsinghua University at Beijing? Several years ago, I ran into a travel agent in Thamel. After having learnt I was in Shanghai, he asked me if I knew certain Bhawani Sapkota from Parbat. I didn't know you(or that certain person), but your feminine name made it easy for me to remember your name.

In Shanghai, someone who was familiar with you(or that certain person) told me you were a very bright man, who went to Singapore after Tsinghua. Anyway, goodluck with your job in bay area.

Bhawani Sapkotaji:

It was a treat to learn that you are upto something fruitful. I don't know if you visit Sajha, or not. But then, be it known that we all are proud of you as a Nepali.

Keep it up!

True Engineers are no software people, they are always hardware people.Anyways Kudos to Sapkoti Jee.

Formal education or degree is not really required to innovate.
