>Eighteen Organization in D.C.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
List aafai bolchha. And we STILL wish if things were different in Nepal. No wonder there are like 100 'baam ghatak' in Nepal. Aakhir hami Nepali khaandaan ka na bhayau! :)
Nepali mentality jaha gaye pani ustai. All of us have already heard 'dhadhali' in last year's ANA election. One can imagine how desparate are these org. executives in this area.
Oh well,... i hope their introduction (i'm sure there will be an introduction of exe. bodies as always) will be short and sweet so that we could hear PM Deuba.

I am not sure if PM is visiting CA. We can certainly ask that question tomorrow.
By the way, if any sajha.com visitors want to ask PM question, send a message or express concerns, please post it here. I will request Rajendra Oliji who is president of ANS to review this thread before the meeting.
Thanks.

Vivashme, we dont want to know what Maoists are saying about Mr Deuba and about taking help from foreign contries. We Neplese have no choice but take help from other big nations to wipe out these cruel, ruthless, uneducated savages.

Deuba will definitely NOT be going to California on this trip abroad. After DC, Deuba heads to the UN in New York and, I believe, then on to the UK to meet with PM Blair, before returning home. Anyone know which Metro station is closest to the VA event venue?

Hi Paru Subedi,
If u mention about the Nepal Embassy in Washington D.C...that they are not doing good . I mean they gave us lots of trouble. For example: iif you want to reniew your passport they will loose it ...and takes forever. and they are not doing great job. If you mention this stuff to the PM that will be great. I mean if you request Rajendra Oliji to talk about this .....that will be great. That's all.

Thanks Anyol for the numbers. The closest metro station is East Falls Church but the venue is not in walking distance from this station.
You can also use following metro site to plan your trip (it will suggest you other bus services and how long you have to walk etc):

Puru Subedi, or Whoever asking questions to PM:
People can and should ask any kind of questions they please to ask.
But my concern is please don't lobby PM tomorrow for dual citizenship thing. Eventhough, I will benifit from it directly(but I am no fan of it), in the time of grave crisis country is facing, asking or giving pressure to such petty stuff is not good( in my view). It just gives impression that Nepali folks here are selfish.
