I would like to appeal for your financial support to TND. TND has been burdened by bills of several indispensable services namely - the server cost for hosting of TND, the domain-name (theNepalDigest.org), and the post box. So far, members of TND team have been self-expensing for office utilities - such as phones, computers, Internet access to upload and maintain pages, and also for office supplies. More expenses are soon to be tackled as tax season approaches. The situation is very critical and TND needs your support. Support TND now!

I appeal you to participate in this virtual and asynchronous eConference to discuss about the present and future of those 37 regions of armed conflicts which are bathing in the bloods of countless innocent people, and have become a mockery to peace, justice, human rights, democracy and development.

With regard to returning to Nepal with an advance parole, you need to find out whether you accrued more than 180 days unlawful presence (out of status) in the U.S. prior to filing of your adjustment of status application (I-485). If your answer is "Yes," your departure will trigger a law that will make you subject to 3/10 years bar for admission into the United States as a lawful permanent resident depending on the length of your unlawful presence. You must assess your case and consequences before you decide to leave on advance parole.
I believe one of the failures of democracy has been the result of an inexperienced and an inefficient civil service. Civil servants in theory is the administrative element of the executive branch of government, it is responsible for executing, or implementing, government policy.

Education plays a vital role in the prosperity of a country - we have been told this by so many so many times from the time unknown. But if you look at Nepal, she is generally ruled and administered by few educated. The Maoist leaders are also highly educated. The whole administration machinery in the government is made of highly educated individuals. But there is violence, there is corruption, there is poverty, there is sickness.

It is ironic that our stupid rulers are always eager to grease their hand from our common resources with a motley relation at different levels. There are ample evidences that we never learnt from the history due to vested interest of rulers. For example, we do not know where to complain about the sorrows of the Koshi.

The NRN conference was very well received by the Nepali public. They felt that for the NRN to come to Kathmandu at great risk to personal security under then existing security problems, they must have a deep sense of love for Nepal and a strong desire to help make changes for the better.

Among many factors contributing to the flourishing Maoist rebellion in Nepal is the outright intellectual dishonesty is the Nepali intelligentsia. The country edges ever closer to cambodification while the intellectuals conduct the degrees of rationalization in legitimizing the Maoists.

Communist literatures are lullaby to the ears of uneducated and poor people. You have sung it well. They are asleep now. Or even in trance where it is possible for them to kill their next door neighbour without the sense of guilt and human conscience.

While we are on the discussion of the etymology of the word "Putali" and their varied contextual meanings and their lexicological roots, I may mention that one reader actually contested the claim that there was no Nepali word for clitoris and female orgasm.
For the first time in history, Buddhist priests from the Kathmandu Valley of Nepal will present their magnificent ritual practices outside of their homeland. These priests are the last surviving legacy of the Vajrayana Buddhist tradition of South Asia.
