Thank you May……….. I sure will give it a try. I have nothing to lose. I just do not want to have a regret in life about my decision to stay and settle down abroad. I admire the effort people make to go back home to try out something after all the education and the experience they have attained.

Nepali, USA – “I came to US to get my bachelor’s degree. I finished my schooling in 4 years with the help of scholarships and 3 on-campus job. I then started working in the US. It has been 9 years now”. Now I am going back home to get started on a new adventure. I had spent a couple of months in Nepal after three years ago when I came to get my work visa. I felt good about being back home. People complain that Nepali is polluted and all other things. I feel that people are they way they are because not everyone is educated. I was the same way before I came here in the US. Now I have learned better (may be) and need to take this learning back home and share.

I am making my journey back with a hope I can do something. Create employment, educate the youths, build innovate and hard-working group to re-build Nepal, strengthen farming and healthcare, bring the correct and right technology…….I feel like I am jumping into unknown space although I grew up in Nepal. I think I need to face the challenge and ready to give it a try no matter I fail or pass, the effort will be worthwhile. As for politics, I will try to say out of it, but I know I will have to deal with it to get my paperwork moving………..

My parents, my motherland, my people……….. I am coming back and I look forward to working with you all.

easy to put the blame on the leaders.. but we fail to realize that they are mere ‘actors’ of our collective attitude. nepal doens’t need a political revolution. a ‘cultural revolution’ (please disregard the Maoist connotation) is what we need. changes in the way we think and form opinions .. however trivial it may be.

neither imported political doctrines nor ethnopolitics is the answer to our multi-faced turmoil.

escape from this predicament lies in ourselves and ourselves only.

All the well-educated people in Nepal should get into politics. I am not studying anything related to politics, as a matter of fact, it is accounting, but I wish to join Nepali politics. How bout you, Mr Dixit?

I am of the personal opinion that Nepalese do not have to go to overseas to find menial jobs. Nepal itself has great potential in many areas like tourism, construction, hydropower, construction, and many others. But we need to build basic facilities like water, electricity, good governance, security to attract investor from India and other countries. But the core of the issues is that our political leaders are not interested in creaing such enabling enviorment. They are only keen is minting money by hook or crook.

Its my personal request to Mr Kundan Dixit to be here in Singapore and write what the overseas nepalese thinks about their country, economy and the leaders. What is their optimism and patriotism. Whats their opinion and how does it matters to our nation. Is our very own future linked with the peace and prosperity of our nation?

We just need your help to make our voices audible to the ordinary people that “we have a common dream as we are from the same nation. The agendas that matters will definitely matters us”.

Hope to welcome you in singapore very soon.

Thank You

All of these stories speak of a simple truth. Nepalis, whatever they do and whereever they are, are very hard working people who are very loyal to whomever they work for. How nice would it be if someone could find a job that pays them Rs 10000 so people like Gita could stay home.
