Deewa awarded MITM Certificate from University of Dallas

Dear G/Purujee, Sudhirjee … 

With a strong hope that the dire situation in the country has been eased out gradually, I’m writing you this letter. Believe that this letter will find you and the family more comfortable and healthy there. While talking of here, in USA, we are just passing through one season to another i.e. from ‘Fall’ to ‘Winter’. At the time when we left Kathmandu at the end of October, the very trusted neighboring country – India had just begun with an un-political and un-friendly tactic like border block in the South to make us suffering of all the essential goods and was creating shortages in the market. The border block was very strict for importing fuel like cooking gas and petrol in special and for other consumers’ goods, produced in India and Nepal being the main consuming countries, in general. Whereas in US, we enjoyed the falls with all golden dry leaves all around the trees and all over the lawn in the house. After that, there began winter and enjoyed snow fall all over and mowing it all through drive-way and walk-way in the house in Minnesota. In the meantime, while contacting the friends and relatives in Kathmandu, they did not suggest us to return home soon. Because the political misunderstanding and weak performance of the new Government led by Maoists, no matter whether they belong to Maoist led by Prachanda or other faction of them or the one belonging to United Maoist Leninist (UML), now in the Government since six months last has remained in luxurious cushion with fat salary, allowance and facilities for nothing but seeking Modi’s blessing.
We came to Dallas, TX on 2nd Dec. of the year, because we had to attend the ‘Graduation Ceremony, 2015’ of our daughter, Deewa (Diya) Shrestha at the University of Dallas (UoD) on the 5th. The weather at Dallas is as good as in Kathmandu. There is no-chilly breeze nor snow fall like in Minnesota. Of course, the AC is put on all round the clock in every house in USA. That was different case and that’s very much contradictory to ours’ in Nepal.
With all colorful decorations of the Hall, out skirts and the Dais specially with Nepal’s national flag along with other, the valuable occasion of Graduation Ceremony of 2015 in University of Dallas (UoD) was conducted successfully. Deewa, the only Nepali candidate in the University for Masters Degree on Information and Technology Management (MITM) received certificate and also bagged a Medal. She was picked up among the top 20s with GPA of 4.0. from the 2015 group of UoD products. Prior to that, they (the top 20s) were also honored by the Beta Gamma Sigma (BGS), an International Honor Society for Collegiate Schools of Business on the pre-Graduation Ceremony Day, 4th of December in UoD’s Hall. Deewa was also awarded medal ‘Summa Cum Laude’ , “Southwest Minnesota State University, Academic Honor 1967 “when she completed Batchelor or under-graduate level study from Southwest Minnesota State University (SMSU), Marshal, MN in 2010.
Turning back to our country, Nepal, some of our friends/relatives still suggest not to return home soon. The border lock caused not only the shortage of all essential goods but also raised the market price of each of them badly. Black marketeers have got good opportunities to earn good amount of black money. In-coming of fuel tanks and the gas bullets from Modi’s border has been left out as it was on the border. Marxists gentlemen are still singing the song of Heroism? And other are relaxing on their balconies?
Let’s hope that the situation of the country should eased out and the condition should back to normal in the country as soon as possible. May Lord Pasupati Nath bless us all for the purpose.
Thank you and regards,

Sincerely Yours’
