Khakurel says "I knew my wife was going to kill me, "
thats exact translation of malai mero srimate le marne chhin.
Marne chhin is not that strong, as it looks "she will kill me".
How do you think of the translated version of "marne" to
"kill me"? Thats very interesting reading.

Sally should be reading it. I liked her comment on Fukuyama vs
Hutington thread. How weak Hindus are ? Will christian or
Moslem will adopt others religious festival so easily ? But,
as Sally said, Hindus don't compete. Khakurel did not have
strong feeling to defend his daughter that we not christian
so we don't celebrate x-mas. What Sally wrote was absolutely
true, Hindus don't consider others sin just because they have
different religion or different practice and how easily they
accept others interesting or fun or nice things.

Sameer Khakurel was a classmate of mine in St Xavier's many years ago. I was fascinated by this article, and his photograph was truly fun to see. It felt wonderful to read about him all settled with a family and kid in the DC area. Wow. He was 15 years old the last time I remember seeing him. I would have never imagined he would one day live in Herndon, VA with a wife and daughter. Sameer, if you ever read this, congratulations and all the best.

Here is another person we can be proud of. This is outdated, but we can still celebrate. The first time I met Monica, we were battling each other in different teams competing in the GAA - Queen Aishwarya National Spelling Contest.

BP,
Those were the days, man -- the Spelling days!!
On another note, it's really great to read about MM's success.
As for SK, it's great to find out that he seems to have done really well for
himself. Remember, all his valiant participations in all those elocution
contests?

Hey Ashu how are you... I was surprise to see me highlighted in this site...
How's life.
Is BP = Bhupendra Pradhan.... If yes, hey how are you?
GP, it is true that Nepalese are very liberal. We easily get tuned to other
culture, and not like others. That's why Nepalese are admired in all crowds.

Hey Ashu,
I hope you remember me (graduated from Phillips Exeter). Do you have Bhupendra Pradhan's e-mail address?
I will be in Nepal from Jan 2nd to 31st. Maybe we can meet in Nepal.

Sameer Khakurel and Mahesh KC! Nice to make your re-acquaintance! This is indeed Bhupendra. It has been ages. See if you can reply to this message via e-mail. I will receive it since I am a registered user. Mahesh, hope you are doing well. This site is certainly bringing a lot of us back together!

Hey Mahesh,
Great to hear from you.

work that you seem to be doing.
