I hope readers of your recent article on the noble efforts to gain full and equal human rights for Nepali women (#24, Women, rights, and the Bill) did not overlook this fact: Legal activists like Ms Sapana Malla-Pradhan could easily be working as professors in the law schools of Harvard and Yale, and are so professionally qualified they could have their pick of countries to take citizenship where they would enjoy full and equal rights and privileges of humans-male and female-of those societies. But their selfless dedication drives them to their struggles for Nepal and set aside such a life of privilege. Such dedicated Nepali women activists inspire me to believe that there is indeed hope for the future of Nepal.

Ramyata Limbu's writing on helicopters (#25) was good, but Janaki Gurung has written a great piece on domestic aviation. I am proud of Nepali women who can write about technology with such consummate ease.
