My Nepali friend Shanta, who lives in the San Fernando Valley where I grew up.  Go figure.  I met Shanta last year through another Nepali friend.  I find it quite remarkable and very world citizen like, that I'm now friend wtih Shanta and her Indian husband Dinesh.

Sushil and Bashudev are proving that other way around is possible and doable. Actually their way is the best way. A new culture of giving has born.
