Though I do not live in Boston or know anyone who posts his/her message on "Kurakani," I have been following up with this site for a couple of months. The main reason was becuase the "Kurakani" section sometimes provides a lot of information on what is going on/with nepalis leaving abroad. And needless to say that there are a lot of intellegent nepali youths who post their messages on Kurakani (evident from the way they write and the content of their writings). But after having read almost all the recent postings, it seems to me like, we nepalis will never learn not to expect someones downfall for our own fortune (khutta tanee). And criticizing others just to have a momentary laugh, showing jelousy by trying to diss peoples' postings just because they seemed more intellegent, all these bad habits still seem very vivid in many nepali youths. I thought people who come abroad to study are intellegent folks or are trying to be intellegent, better person. We need to change. It is time for us to be open minded (not that open that our brains fall off!!!). The only way Nepal can change for better (which eveyone wants it to happen) is to first change ourselves.
Think about it!!!!!!

Dear Concerned Nepali:
I absolutely agree with you. With so few of us (Nepalis) around, it is amusing to see how little we can stand each other after a little while. I recently changed my sign-in because someone started to personally criticize me. But I also see personal attacks happening on this board all the time. What is up with that? Can't we just get along? It's like a small but dysfunctional family. A lot of people have very interesting and intelligent things to say on thise site, unlike many other.

Here is a joke with a similar message:
The annual Frog Olympics were being held in Los Angeles. All the nations of the world sent their best, most athletic frogs in big huge cans to Los Angeles to compete. The opening ceremonies were highlighted by the opening of these cans and letting everyone see how high the frogs jumped out of the cans.
The can from Britain was opened...these 3 massive frogs with the union jack tattooed on their backs bounded out of the cans. Everyone cheered. The frogs were muscular and glistening.
The can from China was opened...again 3 massive red amphibians rocketed out of the cans, doing twirls in the air before landing to a standing ovation from the crowds in the stands.
This went on can after can, revealing these wonderful frogs from every country. Everybody knew it was going to be a great Frog Olympics.
Finally it came time to open the can from Nepal. The lids was sprung open, and...and...nothing. No frog jumped out. People waited with bated breath to see what these supposedly rugged tough Gorkhali frogs that they had heard so much about would look like...but nothing... No frogs. However, they could hear some noises in the can, as if a struggle was going on. Finally, not able to wait any longer, one of the officials went up to the can to peer down...what awaited him was a strange site...each of the Nepali frogs were holding each others' legs, preventing them from leaping into the air. So no frog could jump out of the can.
Does this joke really apply to us? I didn't think of this joke, but I thought I would let you guys comment on it.

Is it really so unusual that we don't see the same things as a lot of people? Think about it. In fact none of us may see the same thing even when we all look at the same object. We learn everything by association. We learn to attach the color red to a particular type of light reflection that in fact we all may see differently, but we all agree to call it red because that is what we were all taught as we grew up. What I call red may actually look black to another person, but he has learned to recognize it as black. Crazy stuff huh?
