# 50% discount for Newars:
I saw this in a cybercafe near the chowk of Freak Street (Jhochen) Kathmandu. Being a Newar myself, I couldn't decide how to take this. Or do I even have to decide?


# I am proud to be a Nepali
I have lost my identity as a Nepali. I search for that identity in others, my friends, my peers, my seniors, children and all the people of Nepal. I try to search for my Nepali-ness in TVs and mags. Still, no way can I gather any gram of patriotic pride just because Mt. Everest happens to be here. I have seen for numerous times on TVs and heard on Radios and read on mags how people are proud being a Nepali because this is the land of Gautam Buddha. We are all living on the post-digestion vanity of what the great ones have done in the past. We have been dragging Buddha's name for more than 2500 years - land of Buddha... land of peace... oh yeah !

I don't care however, I am curious if Buddha was a Nepali... better ask India !


# Mero Mayos, Mero Nepal
I can't perceive any good logical explanation for this ad-slogan. Ok take this. Your Mayos and Your Nepal. Does it matter ? My ass and Your Mayos. Does it make a difference ? Or does it ?
