I am extremely surprised by your reference to Nepalis being down on the economic ladder in Kamikaze (#60). It is true that the higher your apartment, the higher the rent you pay. But it is definitely not true that higher the office the more important it is.
How do you judge the importance of a company? Is Cantor Fitzgerald on the 100-105th floors of the WTC more important than Morgan Stanley that occupied the lower floors? The most influential companies in Manhattan are housed in buildings less than 30-40 stories high. And yes, there are quite a few Nepalis who work in these premier firms.
