Another typical Kathmanduite voice I have been hearing all my life. Please let all of us clear it from our head once and for all that every place outside Kathmandu isn't a rural village. There are places more just a few kilometers away from Kathmandu that are more backward than your average Nepalese village. With this limited knowledge and sick attitude of your own country, Kathmandu is wort being called a malinformed and maleducated village in itself, with no realistic understanding of how the country and its people are. Comparing Kathmandu with New York doesn't make sense. Compare it with Thimpu or Adis Ababa. Or maybe Lhasa. And, let me make it clear, there are places outside kathmandu (not all are villages and rural) where people are more aware of things going around the world and in technology. I can only cann it irony that all of them have to untimately end up in Kathmandu and Kathmanduites confuse them for being one of their own. There are cities and towns outside the valley where people study engineering, and do system administration or programming too. Discussing in a GoogleGroup doesn't make somebody more aware and at cutting edge than any such guy.
