oye mujhi redstone, if you don't have anything better to say - keep quiet. This thread was basically an announcement of a party - not for morons like you to hurl unfounded accusations. It seems like you are the one who's doing the khutta tanne kaam.

Hey Redstone! Save your eggs before you charge a ORGANISATION.
When I go through your Postings I must say that you are pure Bahun.
Look at yourself before talk about others.
What makes you headache when we eat Sukul bhoye?

Phyte!! Phyte!!. Chill people. Someone looks like he/she is obsessed with Redstone--followed all his threads, went over his picture ROFL ;o!

yeah, someones way obsessed with me to post 4 posts at once. but brother, im pure newar, not bahun. i know this org. pretty well. and gai ko goth and all, thats AMAZING, really FUKIN amazing how you figured my life in one post. you are great. may god be with you!

.
Read one more time what you all wrote. I mean dirty.
I can forgive you if you correct your philosophy or change your sunglasses.
You see the world different again.Why you are so much against Newari Tradition.

Bishnu bro, maile bhaneko kura bujehna?
i am not against newari tradition. actually i love my tradition and equally respect others as well.
ALL i am saying is about this organization. i know the people involved in this org. and how they have treated my friend because although he's a newar, this woman i don't want to mention the name of, didn't allow him to participate in their organization because his caste was lower! ? aare you fukin kiddin me? newar bhaye pugena? manche bhaye pugena? caste le garera program ma gauna nadine? ghanta matlab testo organization ko?

btw, i don't need your forgiveness!

People like bishnu is a problem of nepal and neplease, it becasue people like him we had instance like ritik kanda and many other kandas in nepal amount anger and hate he showed based on one statement is really astonished me and i know most of the neplease do not share that view.
