I am surprised to read this letter from a former professor of
mine who is now active in Auburn Lakeview Church, probably the
biggest church in the area.

Dear entire Poudel family,
We join you in your grief over the tragic deaths in the Royal Family of Nepal. We prayed for the survivors and the people of Nepal yesterday in our Sunday School, and we are praying for you and your family.
We remember our feeling of loss when we heard about President Kennedy's death in 1963. We will probably never forget that day and the week that followed.
We pray that you will feel God's hand of love for you and all Nepalese people at this critical time.
God's Greatest Blessing,
Rob and Betty for
Graduate/International Department

I guess, it is for taking care of some people or sympathy to some ones who have last name "PAUDEL". But the greeting shows that all the Nepalese are "Paudel family". What does it mean for posting this type of greetings and letter? I have a same type of letter from my Prof. I did not feel that it was to post in this site.

If it helps one to share a kind letter with the rest of the community in hopes that it might lift our spirits, what is wrong with that? Please, let's not be critical of one another in this difficult time.

You are right Bostonian, Nepalese people tend to get too critical even at the most critical periods of their lives. Well said! Thanks

Smreeti, I think people are scared. Or at least cautious. While it may be true that "ideas are ideas" in a democracy, no one knows what the future holds for Nepal. Most of us may be in the US now, but that's no guarantee of anything for the future or for our families. I think it's quite brave and admirable of Ashu, who is in Nepal, to keep posting under his own name. Especially as his last name is known.
Criticizing ideas is fine. But let's not criticize each other. OK?

I agree with half of your statement. Ideas are ideas. No one is right and no one is wrong. But is my idea any less right or more wrong because I do not give my real name. I am not taking part in this discussion to gain credibility. I am doing this in hopes that it might help the people of Nepal. I am not sure how it will help them; maybe someone will read what we say and it will motivate him or her.
By not stating my name, my ideas are in no danger of receiving prejudice. We already know from human nature that ideas from men and women are treated differently in some cases. This also applies to old and young people. Perhaps even to Nepalese and non-Nepalese people.
Many people in history have presented wonderful ideas under anonymity. Are the ideas any less valid
Again, let's talk about the issues that are most important to the community. Let's not waste our energy with things that do not matter.

I am very much sure that Nepalese people do not have patience to listen the right thing. It is to point out what the intention is and how it is being tackled so far in the Nepalese community. We all are Nepalese and living in several continents. I don't think I have to hide my name to criticize someone's writing. I do not have any personal difference with the poster. You have nothing to say, little boy !!!

Are you showing anger because of the incidents in Nepal or are you just a hostile person? If you don't have anything constructive to say, please quit while you're behind.

Aren't Nepalese people who live in Boston proud of living in that city? So, they love to hide their real name and show as Bostonian....

Sathi ho: Yo byarthako bibad ma naparaun.
Today, I met the professor who organized the mourning at Auburn Church. When I heard him, he was asking Biswo's sister to share his griefs about Nepal with all the Nepali living in Auburn. I suppose Biswo wanted to show how non-nepali people have felt on this shocking moment.
Each of you might have received such ten's of e-mail as I received below to give an example.

Please let's not make a good thing bad.

Though the conversations are interesting, let's save them for rainy days. we have enough to concerntrate on now, right. And pls stop posting personal letters. We all have received tons of them last few days. Much more interesting than the above or Deepenra's ADC's.

Will you please stop being so hostile to the people in the communtiy. If someone does not want to share his or her name, that is his or her right. I am exercising that right. Who are you to tell anyone what they can or cannot write, what names they can or cannot use. This website is getting international attention right now. Is this how you want people to view a woman named Reetu (and it's not like you are the only Reetu out there, so you are also working under some anonymity)? As a angry, hostile, critical person who seems to be uneasy with the idea of free speech?
If you wish to continue your negative behavior, that is your right. But I, and I hope that people like Bostonian and Biswo will simply ignore your rude comments as they are irrelevant.

Cheer Up Reetu,
Bury the hatchet and move on!
There are discussions that demand more importance now, and you should know that. Also,how can you finalise someone's posting?
