Hi all,
After a riotously wild week-end that included:
a) gazing for an hour at the navel of an Arabian belly-dancer (for cultural purposes, of course!)
b) listening to some cool live jazz music, and
c) hanging out at the Pashupati area until almost 2 am on Shiva's Big Night
I am back at Sajha.

Differentlysane-ji,
Thank you for your interest in my postings.
I appreciate your words about me.
But to tell you the truth, I get praises too easily and often (in Nepal and in Nepali communities, in particular), and, so, though, as a human being, I do like/adore/lust after praises, I -- quite honestly -- have also learnt not to get carried away by them.
Please do not take this otherwise, hai.
I say that because I really, actually hunger/yearn/pine for critical, merciless, no-holds-barred comments that actually ADD to my personal/intellectual/social growth -- so, please, while you are reading my stuff, don't be shy/afraid to give me critical comments . . . from time to time, on Sajha and beyond.
I do NOT mind or hold grudges or sulk in some corner if other people add to/revise/modify and challenge what I have to say, as long as everyone maintains
the basics of intellectual honesty, and as long we all benefit -- intellectually -- from ensuing ideas, thoughts and debates.
I post on Sajha because I enjoy acquiring knowledge and shariing it with you all.
You know, I once took a battery of personality tests, and found out that I am an ENTP (extrovert, intuitive, thinking and perceiving) type, and, I hope my postings give you the sense of the ENTP that I am.

(As an ENTP, I am lucky to be in the company of Christopher Columbus, Richard Feynman, Francis Ford Coppolla, Steve Jobs,Thomas Edison, Sir Winston Churchill
and Alexander the Great! Check out the Web site above.)

Trikal-ji,
I have been meaning to write to you. I have been following your famous threds for a long time now, while trying to muster courage to ask you a few things.
For starters, my DOB is: Valentine Day or February 14 (English) and Shiva Ratri (Nepali)
tithi). Yes, I do feel doubly blessed; and, no, I am NOT joking about these dates. This makes me, I suppose for better or worse, an Aquarian. For more on pivate emails to you.
More later, everyone.
Meantime, occasional idea-related conflicts notwithstanding, let's keep the guff-suff/kura-kani and friendlship alive and well on Sajha-- while increasing our
collective knowledge about Nepal and the world we live in.
