Hi All Nepali Daju bhai tatha Didi Bahini,
I'm bit confused about the ANA convention. I saw couple of threads in this KURAKANI and wanted to ask you guys about the purpose of the Nepalese convention. From my experience from the previous conventions, I am very much depressed to see the behaviour of some of the Nepali Daju bhai and Didi bahinis. They were so much distracting, OVER and were pretending to be the American. I lost my identity after going there. People were just like the strangers from different planet. Afer all, we are from the same country so one should not hesitate to talk with own BROs. The guys and gals seem to be CHANGED a lot. I guess they have HALF forgotton our culture so they are in the TRANSITION period towards the hell.
So if this convention is for gathering of Nepalese, why should one hesitate to talk with other Nepali? Why do they pretend that they dont know each other? How can they forget Nepali language? Is ANA convention for Showing the Style and Wealth only?
These are only my few observations from the last few conventions that I attended. So guys, if you have different view, please share right away!!!
UHI Nirash bhai.....

I guess you forgot whatcha mama taught you ...
You do not talk to strangers. It does not matter if they are next door neighbours, you don't know them you don't talk to them. Its the same with convention, just because they are all Nepali there does not obligate you to talk to each individual. Besides its one' choice, whether to talk or not. You cannot chastize them for not talking to you.
But if they are your friends then its a different situation. Or even if its someone you knew from back home and is acting all VIP then that is a problem. That means YOUR friend is being impolite. Now thats between you and your friend. DO NOT GENERALIZE THE WHOLE POPULATION BECAUSE OF IT.
Showing off is a total human thing to do. If you have lived anywhere else in the world you will know. There is no escaping it. Even Americans do it too. Its always THE HAVE'S SHOWING OFF TO THE HAVE NOTS. Thats part of life, take it or leave it pal.

Well said Koko.Nirash,I'm sorry you felt that way but not all Nepalis are like that.If you found them speaking English or wearing something beyond what you thought they'd wear or just because all of them wouldn't talk to you,that doesn't mean they are acting Americanised.We are in a country that the world looks upto(now don't backfire me,I know there're some exceptions)so if a Nepali comes here and learns/copies the good sides of this society then I don't see nothing wrong there.But it is true that once in a while you come across some Nepalis who go overboard in pretending themselves to be so Americanised like you said and that upsets me too.This ANA convention,expect the same mentality once again cos there are all kinds of people out there and take it easy.
