I was touched by Megh Ranjani Rai's "Midnight memoirs" (#95). It saddened me and shook me. Being away from home is hard. Yet, knowing that I have a dream to follow, and the knowledge and skills that I acquire here will make me resourceful to my motherland is what gives me energy to move ahead. But the news from Nepal is so gloomy and frustrating. We don't want to lose the hope that one day soon peace and happiness will be restored and our beautiful homeland will bloom with the glory of harmony and prosperity. Thanks to Megh Ranjani Rai for her heart-touching words.
