Dear Rajeev & Vishal
thank you so much for the hospitality, the delicious food (!!!), the tours you gave, the talks we had and the laughter we shared.
As you, Rajeev said you like poems, I will leave my favourite poem which reminds me of the open nature of people here in Nepal 🙂
If – by Rudyard Kipling
“If you can keep your head when all about you   Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,   But make allowance for their doubting too;If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,   Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies,Or being hated, don’t give way to hating,   And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise:
If you can dream—and not make dreams your master;   If you can think—and not make thoughts your aim;If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster   And treat those two impostors just the same;If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken   Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,   And stoop and build ’em up with worn-out tools:
If you can make one heap of all your winnings   And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,And lose, and start again at your beginnings   And never breathe a word about your loss;If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew   To serve your turn long after they are gone,And so hold on when there is nothing in you   Except the Will which says to them: ‘Hold on!’
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,   Or walk with Kings—nor lose the common touch,If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,   If all men count with you, but none too much;If you can fill the unforgiving minute   With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run,Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,   And—which is more—you’ll be a Man, my son!”I have a huge respect to how you rebuild everything after the earthquake. Please continue!
And I definitely like your project and I will support and recommend it with all my heart!
Yours,
Benny
